agony for england as their dreams of world cup glory are crushed. they lost to croatia. misery in moscow for gareth southgate‘s young team — they'd been carrying the hopes of a nation on their shoulders. it is kieran trippier! it is in! it had all been looking so good? after this stunning early goal. but then croatia equalised to take them into extra time and they won. heartbreak for england fans who had dared to dream that football was finally coming home. and tonight's other main stories on bbc news at ten... the first images have emerged from the hospital where 12 thai boys and their football coach are being treated after their remarkable rescue from a flooded cave. at the nato summit, president trump criticises germany, accusing chancellor merkel of being far too dependent on russia. and at wimbledon, another major upset as the defending men's
10:01 pm
champion roger federer is knocked out of this year's championship. and coming up on sportsday on bbc news, we'll have the latest from russia and wimbledon — where the world number one, rafa nadal, is through to the semifinals. good evening from the luzhniki stadium in moscow, where england's dream of world cup glory is over. they lost 2—1 to croatia after being forced into extra time. it all looked so good with england taking the lead early on, but croatia equalised and dominated the second
10:02 pm
half. gareth southgate's men have had such an unexpected and extraordinary journey to the semifinal in moscow. their confidence allowed many england fans to dare to believe that england could finally bring the world cup home again for the first time in more than 50 years. our sports editor dan roan is at the stadium. sophie, england came tonight with a dream to emulate the fabled side of 1966, the last england side to reach a world cup final and england side to reach a world cup finaland claim england side to reach a world cup final and claim sport's ultimate prize. after a stirring campaign in russia where they defied all expectations, hopes of an upset were high. but at the end of a dramatic nightair high. but at the end of a dramatic night air pollution tychy stadium, it was not to be the dream died. last month they came to russia and heralded but they arrived on the verge of sporting immortality. here at moscow, very moment england fans had waited 28 years for, that is how
10:03 pm
long it wasn't their team last had the chance to reach the book was my greatest stage. nerves or tension? try telling kieran trippier. five minutes gone, england with the kind of start and free kick that dreams are made of. what a game in which to score your first international goal. perisic meanwhile with a gentle reminder of the threat croatia would later pose. harry kane denied, the leading goal—scorer in the tournament and usually failing to ta ke tournament and usually failing to take his chance. would these misses, the next by jesse take his chance. would these misses, the next byjesse lingard, prove costly? croatia where in the last fourfor costly? croatia where in the last four for a costly? croatia where in the last fourfor a reason, costly? croatia where in the last four for a reason, and costly? croatia where in the last fourfor a reason, and with his team dominant after the restart, perisic showed why. in truth it was coming, england paying the price for sitting back. and then relying on luck not to go behind. for the first time in russia, they were rattled. their composure in defence having deserted
10:04 pm
them, england grateful to hang on for extra time. now they would have to do it the hard way, john stones going agonisingly close before jordan pickford bravely came to his team's rescue. but then with penalties looming came the painful twist, england hesitating, mario mandzukic pouncing. with just a few minutes to save themselves, england put bodies on the line, but that time was up. it had been glorious while it lasted but england's unforgettable, unlikely russian adventure, was finally over. the hope may be back, but the hurt continues. dan roan, bbc news, at the luzhniki stadium. well, after such high hopes, such expectation for this team, tonight's results has left england fans crushed. they really had dared to believe it could be the year when england finally won the world cup again. jon kay has been living the ecstasy which turned into agony and finally despair for england with fans in bristol. they dared to hope, to dream, but
10:05 pm
tonight heartbreak for these england fans. it is over. it had started so well. cheering monsoon after weeks of rain. you wait 52 years to reach a final, and you get a goal injust you wait 52 years to reach a final, and you get a goal in just five minutes. add bristol city ‘s and they suddenly thought it was going to be easy. # football's coming home! not necessarily expecting that. we are going all the way, hundred, hundred, hundred percent. i believe! a nation explodes. from hyde park in london... to harry maguire's home village. and in manchester, a yea r‘s
10:06 pm
maguire's home village. and in manchester, a year's worth of beer fell in a few seconds. and then, like a horrorfilm, croatia equalised. the mood has changed, but england are going to bring it home. and so extra time, extra tents. my heart is coming out my chest. certainly they are hoping for penalties. and another croatia goal, and it is all over. i am 23 years old, 23 stone, i thought this was my year. disappointed. i'm not that disappointed, this is better than i thought they would do. disappointed, this is better than i thought they would dolj disappointed, this is better than i thought they would do. i am gutted. i feel wounded, if england are not bringing it home, i i feel wounded, if england are not bringing it home, lam not i feel wounded, if england are not bringing it home, i am not going home tonight. more years of hurt, they are coming home. jon kay, bbc news, bristol. such high hopes in that stadium
10:07 pm
tonight, it definitely did not end as so many thousands of england fans hoped. what now for the england team? in the immediate term, they have to somehow try to get themselves ready for that third and fourth play—off match that no international side, no losing semifinalist, wants to be part of. they will play belgium in st petersburg for the second time this tournament. it has to be said that croatia deserved victory this evening. england i think will count the cost of missing some really good chancesin the cost of missing some really good chances in the first half when they we re chances in the first half when they were already one goal up and had great opportunities to stretch the lead and put it to bed. they did not ta ke lead and put it to bed. they did not take those chances. that is the negative, but there are plenty of positives for this young england side. in the past a defeat like this, you can't help but feel, would have left long lasting mental scars that the players would struggle to recover from. no doubt it will be
10:08 pm
very painful as they make their way back to base near st petersburg. having said that, these players are ona having said that, these players are on a journey, they have defied expectations over the last few weeks. four years ago england crashed out after two matches, two yea rs crashed out after two matches, two years ago they were humiliated by iceland. nobody expected this progress. manager gareth southgate, it felt like the fa had nowhere to turn when they chose in 18 months ago but he has somehow forged a togetherness and a talent on the pitch and a unity we have not seen for many years. the fact that the likes of kieran trippier, jordan pickford, harry maguire, jesse lingard, they have come of age, it points to a very positive future and the senses that this side could be a footballing force for years to come. this is the beginning, not the end of their journey. it will be this is the beginning, not the end of theirjourney. it will be hugely encouraging for the fa, the governing body of the national sport is often criticised, they will point to the fact that over the last 12 months they have won the under 17s
10:09 pm
and the u20s world cups and reach the semifinal in the senior world cup, that will be hugely encouraging for the major tournaments in the yea rs for the major tournaments in the years ahead. don't forget, for years the england football tea m don't forget, for years the england football team was a byword for sporting underachievement, the last few weeks has challenged all right. dan roan, our sports editor in the stadium, thank you. what a painful way to end. a very different story for the croatian fans, you can probably hear them celebrating behind me. have a look at what was going on in croatia when their team finally won, this was a when their team finally won, this wasa grab. when their team finally won, this was a grab. ecstasy as croatia make it through to the world cup final where they will face a france. —— this was zagreb. these were scenes that english fans hoped would be playing out at home tonight. it was not to be. more from as later but
10:10 pm
back to huw edwards in the studio. thank you to sophiejenman dan roan in moscow. president trump has launched a forthright attack on germany, accusing it of being controlled by russia. he was speaking shortly before meeting chancellor merkel at the nato summit in brussels. mr trump also repeated his claim that the eu was taking advantage of the us, and stepped up his demands for nato members to boost their defence spending. our europe editor katya adler has the latest. such careful choreography. not showy, but precise. nato boasts that it's in control and ready to take on modern—day threats — cybercrime, cross—border terror, concerns about russia. but there was one big element today over which nato had no control at all. donald trump, a man determined to shake up this alliance, which has guaranteed european security since world war ii. thank you very much.
10:11 pm
thank you. the morning here started with a jolt. germany is totally controlled by russia, because they were getting from 60 to 70% of their energy from russia and a new pipeline. a blistering and not entirely factually correct attack by donald trump on nato ally germany for its plan to build a gas pipeline with russia. so we're supposed to protect you against russia, but they're paying billions of dollars to russia, and i think that's very inappropriate. but the german chancellor was mentally prepared today for a ding—dong with donald trump. her reply was swift. translation: i myself experienced living in part of germany when it was occupied by the soviet union, but i'm happy today that germany is united in freedom so we can make our own independent policies and our own independent decisions. so what does this all mean? is, nato the cornerstone of european security,
10:12 pm
falling apart before our eyes? well, not quite. the us remains as involved as ever in nato missions and donald trump blows hot as well as cold when it comes to this alliance. but he did stamp his foot today about his favourite nato bugbear, military spending, a message above all for europe. "you want us protection," he insists, "you start coughing up a lot more for defence." nato has a military spending target of 2% of gdp for all its members. most european entries don't make the grade — including big beasts germany, france and italy. with all her problems at home, the prime minister came here determined not to trip up. at least with regards to president trump. we're announcing today that we will be deploying an additional 440 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.
10:13 pm
and just for good measure, theresa may also underlined that the uk is paying its way when it comes to military spending. nato leaders then headed off for dinner, to 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. the first images have emerged from the hospital where 12 thai boys and their football coach are being treated after their remarkable rescue from a flooded cave. and new details have been released about the complexity of the rescue operation. it's been confirmed that the boys were heavily sedated ahead of the rescue effort to prevent them panicking in the dark, narrow , passageways which were under water in parts — as our correspondent lucy williamson reports. these are the luckiest boys in thailand. still weak, still in quarantine, these pictures the first we've seen
10:14 pm
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.
10:15 pm
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 train. 0k. 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 the 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 their boys is the most incredible show of courage from one — from the other, incredible trust. lucy williamson, bbc news, chiang rai. police investigating the death
10:16 pm
of a woman in wiltshire from suspected nerve agent poisoning have spoken briefly to her partner. charlie rowley was taken ill with dawn sturgess last weekend. she died from exposure to the agent novichok. police are hoping that mr rowley will be able to provide essential new information about what happened. facebook is to be fined £500,000 by the information commissioner — that's 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. and concerns have been raised about political parties buying personal information from so—called data brokers. the fine for facebook is modest compared with previous sanctions on the firm, as our technology corrspondent
10:17 pm
rory cellan—jones reports. personal data. a vital new weapon in election campaigns. but now the information commissioner has found its been misused, and a social media giant is facing a record fine. the data of 87 million facebook users was harvested by the now—defunct political consultancy cambridge analytica. the half—a—million pound fine for allowing that to happen will hardly make a dent in the social media giant's profits, but the watchdog says the penalty is still significant. it sends a very strong message to facebook and to other online platforms about what is expected of them, and that the regulator will step in with sanctions. this report shows just how much of our data can potentially end up being used for political purposes. it's not just about your facebook details — every time you interact with a credit reference agency, or even a mother and baby club, your data could be sold to a political party. the information commissioner is planning to fine emma's diary, a service for mums—to—be, for passing the data of one million
10:18 pm
people to the labour party. the company says it doesn't agree with the regulator's findings. and labour insists the party has done nothing wrong. there is no suggestion that the labour party has behaved unlawfully. all 11 political parties have been contacted by the information commissioner and asked to review their policies. the watchdog is also looking into whether the leave.eu campaign founded by aaron banks may have used data from his motor insurance business for political purposes. this enquiry has some way to run. rory cellan—jones, bbc news. 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 will not 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.
10:19 pm
and 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. 0ur media editor amol rajan explains. equal pay for equal work! publication of last year's annual report by the bbc sparked an outcry over the issue of equal pay. when the salaries of bbc staff earning over £150,000 were disclosed, many women broadcasters were revealed to be on less than male counterparts. a year on, the bbc has made some progress, but critics argue it is not enough. while the balance between men and women is projected to improve from 75% male and 25% female to 60/40, the top 12 earners are all white men. england face colombia tonight for a place. back england face colombia tonight for a place... the highest earners were match of the day and world cup
10:20 pm
presenter gary lineker, and chris evans of radio 2. the bbc‘s director—general admits there's more to do. it's true that at the very top, still a male—only game. only two women in the top 23 of these names. these things take time, especially when you're dealing with people who are the voices and the faces of the bbc to millions and millions of people. these things take time. what i'm concentrating on is also ensuring that we are seen to be making real progress, but that does mean changes in the way the top 20 people are also paid. i want to see more women there, and notjust men. for all the new detail, this list — which includes my name — represents a fuzzy picture. and that's because salaries paid by bbc studios, a commercial wing of the bbc, are not disclosed. and, like so much financial reporting, these numbers reflect an old state of affairs. changes made within the last few months won't filter through until next year's report. a former managing editor of sky news says progress is too slow. well, it is complicated and it does need to be sorted out, but quite quickly. and the point i'm making is that you've got so many men at the top end that that's really disproportionate, and it's all very well saying women at the lower end are coming through or that the gender pay gap
10:21 pm
is narrowing, but they've got very fat — almost exclusively male — cats at the top of the tree. in a landscape dominated by american media giants, today's report also argued the bbc‘s current funding model was not sustainable. how the bbc evolves to compete in the global race for audiences will define its current leadership as much as gender equality. amol rajan, bbc news. the "special relationship" was a phrase used by sir winston chrurchill in a speech in 1946, when he referred to political, diplomatic, cultural, economic, military, and historical relations between the united kingdom and the usa. 0n the eve of president trump's visit to the uk, our special correspondent allan little reports on how the relationship between britain and america was nurtured in the past, and how it's now seen in the age of trump. in st paul's cathedral this memorial chapel remembers the americans stationed in britain who died in the second world war. the role of the dead has 28,000 names. newsreel: britain and america
10:22 pm
join together in persons of high and lowly estate... it was inaugurated in 1958. by then, a new world had emerged from the shared sacrifice of war. tee. vfifiériiéfizléfi gig fifli if??? its founding fathers were president franklin roosevelt and winston churchill. the institutions of global governance, the imf and world bank, the world trade organization, the marshall plan, nato and the european union would all emerge from their victory. at the heart of the international system that america built after the second world war was the idea that nations should lead by a set of agreed rules, in politics, economics, security and trade. america was the principal author of those rules, and has spent the last 70 years using its power in the world to enforce them. not any more. donald trump believes that america
10:23 pm
is not the beneficiary of those rules but the victim, that the rest of the world uses those rules to cheat america, and that the european allies are among the worst offenders. the question those allies are now facing is this — is the rules—based order that roosevelt launched ending with donald trump? he doesn't know the history and he doesn't care. he takes a very transactional approach to international relations, which seems to come from his sort of real estate background, where he is — where everything is a deal. the essence of the american support for the international order is that you're investing in it, but that investment allows them to sustain the rules—based order, and nobody else could do that, and that rules—based order is something which the united states benefits from tremendously. that's hard to measure in dollars and cents. it's a long—term proposition, and trump doesn't look at transactions that way. but does this mean he wants to tear up the rule book, or just rewrite it?
10:24 pm
i think trump's role is to be a disrupter in all things. it is to look at how these relationships either help or hinder america. he literally wants to put america first. i think the whole idea of this international, globalist worldview has taken hold of government, and he wants to shake it up and say, "well, is it really in the best interest of america to do it this way?" for the first time in 70 years europe looks across the atlantic at an america no longer willing to carry what it sees as the costs of an alliance forged in the sacrifice of a different age. allan little, bbc news. to the tennis, and there's been another shock result at this year's wimbledon — the defending champion roger federer has been knocked out of of the men's singles, as our correspondent katherine downs reports. it takes time to build a great champion —
10:25 pm
and time to dethrone one, too. kevin anderson, the statuesque south african, had spent more than ten hours on court on the way to this quarterfinal — roger federer, barely more than six. and this time too he flew to match point in the third, but the chance went skywards. and anderson's confidence soared with it. he became the first to steal a set from the defending champion at wimbledon for two years. what followed was a battle to which roger federer has perhaps become unaccustomed. commentator: what a remarkable comeback. it was meant to be a record—equalling ninth wimbledon title this year for the defending champion but, ousted from his centre court fortress, today on court1 federer has fallen. four hours 15 minutes on court.
10:26 pm
it takes time to better the best, but good things come to those who wait. katherine downes, bbc news, wimbledon. just time before we go to return to russia where england's footballers have not been able to get past croatia to make it into the world cup final. let's join sophie in moscow... thank you. thousands of fa ns moscow... thank you. thousands of fans pouring out of the stadium behind me, and you can probably see that the ghost of 1966 still lives on. such a painful way to end england's world cup dream, after coming so close. despite the result, gareth southgate's young squad have done the nation proud, showing team strength and confidence. natalie pirks looks back at their formidable journey. theirs is a tale of team revived. of players who'd crafted in the lower leagues before coming of age on the bigger stage, and of how one man helped orchestrate a total change in england's culture. commentator: maguire went for it, and it is in from harry kane again! it began against tunisia, with a harry kane double.
10:27 pm
england's number nine shining on the big stage. two goals for the captain! but tonight's early goal—scorer kieran trippier was already showing flashes of how important he would become — in the lower leagues and at school, he was petite but powerful. we're obviously thrilled to bits he's got to where he's got to, and every time he has been asked to step up or get to the next level, he's always been able to do that. jesse lingard... jesse lingard! it was against panama that england had take—off. lingard's goal the pick of the bunch in the 6—1win, in england's biggest in world cup history. his family say this is his moment. jesse's dad has always put belief into him, and made him know how good he is, and when the time will come it will come, and it's come. defeat against belgium set up an arguably better path. next came england's first knockout match in eight years.
10:28 pm
brilliant, harry kane! dreaded penalties came, and were remarkably won. and dier does it! england were through to their first quarterfinal since 2006. sweden lay in wait, and harry maguire put in another towering performance. harry maguire got his head to it! maguire's emergence on the world stage has come as a shock to most, but not to his former coach at sheffield united. he takes things in his stride. he's quite calm in his manner, and, you know, he stepped into the first—team, played a few games and just went, you know, really from strength to strength. but tonight england couldn't quite put that strength to use. well, that's it. it's all over. but england will leave russia with love. the least experienced side in this tournament have given fans a summer to remember, and something to believe in again. back in 1966 the country hoped this would be the first world cup win in glorious technicolor.
10:29 pm
little did they knowjust how long it would take to lift the trophy again. so here's where their tournament ends — but you get the sense not their story. natalie pirks, bbc news, moscow. let's go back to the stadium and get a last word from our sports editor dan rothman. how will england reflect on this tournament? —— dan roan. make no mistake, huge sense of opportunity lost this evening. i think england had the best chance they will ever have of making world cup final, the draw having opened up for them and they took advantage of that. but that the final reckoning when they played the first world—class team they have come up against, they fell slightly short. in the last few minutes the manager gareth southgate has been speaking to us and this is what he had to say... very difficult situation to
10:30 pm
bm, for of the players and all the staff. we as a team have made incredible progress. probably got to a stage where, you know, if you had said to us before the tournament we would get her semifinal, we would probably have thought that was beyond where we thought, but when we we re beyond where we thought, but when we were here, you know, we really believed we could go another stage, and certainly in the first half, you know, i think we played extremely well. well, the fact that the fans haven't gone anywhere here despite that defeat and are still singing gareth southgate's name tells you everything. this site and that manager can be exceptionally proud of what they have achieved here over the last few weeks despite the night's disappointment. they may not be playing france in the final on sunday, but nonetheless they have achieved a great deal, both
