6:31 pm
final this year with] clark and harriet dar taking onjamie murray and victoria azarenka in the mixed doubles. i am well perry with the sport away from wimbledon. england will have to get themselves up the third—place play—off tomorrow with their second best world cup finish on the line. and britain's geraint thomas stays second overall after stage seven of the tour de france. good evening. novak djokovic against rafa nadal is a final in itself. what a tussle we've been treated to in the first semifinal on centre court. kevin anderson against jonathan is now. it is 14—13 in the fifth —— john isner. jonathan is now. it is 14—13 in the fifth ——john isner. we arejoined
6:32 pm
by andy murray's former coach. we knowjohn isner has history when it comes to marathon matches at wimbledon. back in 2008 against nicolas mahut. this one has been well over five hours which is simply astonishing. just over halfway there which is amazing. it happened here on court 18. we were expecting a big serving affair. we've got two guys who have really strengthened their willpower in recent years which is why we are not seeing anybody back. i'd absolutely. you wonder who's going break first. i'd absolutely. you wonder who's going breakfirst. it's i'd absolutely. you wonder who's going break first. it's a toss of the coin. anderson had the break points in this fifth set. he's had a few 0—30s. the way isner is still able to churn up the big serbs, a momentary lapse in concentration perhaps. kevin anderson is serving
6:33 pm
as things stand. as we can see, anderson trying to close this one out. miles, as we know, kevin anderson did incredibly well to come past roger federer in the previous round. he came from two sets down. he's already come from 2—1 down in this much already. i guess as far as his endurance goes, it is a real test. it has showed his strength mentally and physically. some tough matches. earlier on in the week... he's come through a lot of adversity, ankle problems, hip problems. he has come back stronger each time. i think he's ready for this. he's been in the final of a grand slam, the us open in the last year. in his mind he is ready to go step further. still work to be done.
6:34 pm
you wonder whether wimbledon may make the decision at some point perhaps to introduce a tie—break but obviously prevent such long matches as things stand but we will see how that fares later on. as we know, we have a tantalising prospect in store with rafa nadal against novak djokovic. they are renewing old rivalries on centre court. when we will see them depends on the conclusion of that first semifinal. it's been a 52nd meeting. who would you pick for this one? i'm picking djokovic. it's very tight. both guys are on good form. we know what a champion rafa is but he is resurgent. perhaps a bit less pressure on him because he's coming from behind and looking to regain the old form, whereas rafa has been there for a while. he was able to
6:35 pm
neutralise some of nadal‘s weapons andi neutralise some of nadal‘s weapons and i think he's back to form. that's been one of the toughest things, translating the success he's had an clout and played to the grass at wimbledon —— the success he's had on clay to the grass at wimbledon. there will be a briton through to the mixed doubles final. these are live pictures on court number one. jamie murray and victoria azarenka playing in the mixed doubles. they are two points away from booking their place in what will be another mixed doubles final fourjamie murray. he won the title here last year with martina hingis. they've done it! match point, sorry. they are one point away from booking their place in another doubles final. they are up against clarke and dart. clarke came through a tough five setter against ernest
6:36 pm
gold is in his opening round match in the singles. dart couldn't have had a tough match herself taking on karolina pliskova in her opening match of the singles. azarenka serving at the moment. they couldn't convert. we go again. jamie murray as we know has had huge success in this tournament and has won it previously with yourjelena jankovic several years ago. previously with yourjelena jankovic severalyears ago. he previously with yourjelena jankovic several years ago. he seems to be on tv every time you turn it on! they had an epic mixed doubles the other day, but he was the first married to get his hands on a wimbledon trophy. i'm sure he reminds andy of that all the time! they've just one which is good news is the jamie murray. he could get his hands on another wimbledon title. he's got a pedigree
6:37 pm
partner, azarenka, a grand slam champion herself. it's good to see british success because it builds that wave of kyle edmund, nice to see a wave of success from the brits. we will bring you the result hopefully of the kevin anderson and john isner much concludes. let's turn our attentions to the wheelchair doubles with alfie hewett in action today. youth enjoyed great success to date alongside his doubles partner gordon reid. they are through to another doubles final. they came through against cuneda and fernandez. he couldn't translate that into the doubles having lost —— he couldn't translate that to the singles having lost a
6:38 pm
olsson this morning. he won the french open last year, semifinals in the singles at wimbledon last year but he lost 6—2, 6—4 in that one. as far as the doubles goes, alongside alfie hewett and gordon reid against fernandez and kuneda, they came through. good news for the british interest in the wheelchair doubles. that is all from wimbledon and semifinals day. but epic opening semifinals day. but epic opening semifinal between kevin anderson and john isner going the distance. for now, back to salford. england's dream in russia may be over but their world cup's not. it's the game nobody wants to play in as they battle it out with belgium for third place in st petersberg tomorrow afternoon. victory for gareth southgate's side would make it their most successful
6:39 pm
world cup behind 1966, as our sports correspondent david ornstein reports. this is where england's unforgettable this is where england's u nforg etta ble world cu p this is where england's unforgettable world cup journey will come to an end tomorrow afternoon. a grand setting for the final flourish, and what a month it has been. for this young squad who defied low expectations to reach a first world cup semifinal in 28 yea rs first world cup semifinal in 28 years and also reconnect with their long—suffering supporters. it didn't go to plan against croatia, they came so close. all is not lost, england could secure their high is to finish in a world cup since 1966 and their highest ever in a world cup on foreign soil. plenty to play for in the bronze medal match. england trained on russian soilfor the final time this morning. all 23 players were involved but we are expecting gareth southgate to make some changes. what we have to decide
6:40 pm
with the team is who can go again. physically, it's going to be important. everybody wants to play, everybody trained. sometimes it's not a good decision for people to play if their energy isn't quite there and we've got to think of who can give us the best performance. it won't be exactly the same starting 11 but we want ideally to make as few changes as possible. one to injuries, one or two with illness, so we'll just to injuries, one or two with illness, so we'lljust to see. we have high motivation to perform and the chance to wina motivation to perform and the chance to win a medal at a world cup, which only one english team has ever done. this has also been a breakthrough world cup for england, they hadn't w011 world cup for england, they hadn't won a knockout match in any major competitions in 2006. they also their penalty shoot out who do. a young squad, england's third youngest ever to travel to a world cup, playing without fear and
6:41 pm
reconnecting with the public and seeming to enjoy themselves. now the expectation changes. no longer will they be the surprise package having reached the last four. gareth southgate says new standards have been set and future generations will need to live up to them. at club level you can have near misses and you may be get close to each season. internationally you have to wait every two years. this group, i said all along, definitely stronger in two years because of their age and their big match experiences we've been through. really brilliant experiences this time. we have a responsibility to build on that and we expect players, any new player that comes in, to follow. that's the starting point for any team in terms of how you work. then we can improve the detail of our tactical play and the detail of our tactical play and the important moments of big matches. after this tournament the focus will inevitably shift quickly back to domestic football and the
6:42 pm
premier league, with a particular interest in young english players getting an opportunity to play in first teams. currently only 33% of the premier league is made up by english players and i think we all know that is not enough if england are to enjoy sustained success at international level. fabian delph was also part of the news conference and he said it is critical for english players to be playing senior football. it's been a fantastic experience for me personally. i think it will stand us in good stead for the future. there's a lot of young players so everybody seems to be fearless, going in the same direction. all across the premier league, if we start to push the young lads forward it will be nothing but good stuff for the future for the national team's. kick—off here at the st petersburg stadium is 5pm local, 3pm in the uk. then on sunday afternoon england will finally leave russia and fly
6:43 pm
back to birmingham before heading off on their summer holidays. what a few weeks it has been. maybe after all football really did come home, just not the trophy, and that will be the next task for england and one they will approach with renewed vigour and belief. the song three lions by badiel, skinner and the lightening seeds has made it to number one again today. it's the first song to get to the top of the uk charts four times with the same artist line—up. onto sunday's final and france take on croatia in a repeat of one of the iconic matches in world cup history. this will take you back. 20 years ago last week, france beat croatia 2—1 in the semifinal of france 98 at the stade de france. look at that for a winner from lillium thauram, what a player he was! france coming from behind after davor suker put croatia in front. france of course went on to win it, getting past brazil in the final. 20 years on, these two
6:44 pm
are the stars of their teams. will killian m'bappe lead the french to world cup glory again? three goals so far at the tournament for the psg striker a hatrick would take him level with hary kane who's in prime position for the golden boot. or can luka modric help get croatia's name engraved on thejules rimmet trophy? what a tournament the real madrid man has had so far. either way, the fifa president gianni infantino belives it's been the best world cup to date and could herald a spell of european dominance. we have now a final this time, or where we have one team that has won the world cup wants and one team that has never won the world cup, andi that has never won the world cup, and i don't think that croatia is necessarily a powerhouse of world or european football as a country. but they are in the final. so in the end it comes down to the quality of the players, which makes a difference, but i think that the results of this world cup for the other continents outside europe, it should be a
6:45 pm
ca ta lyst outside europe, it should be a catalyst and motivator for them to work even harder to train. i'm sure that in future we will have some other surprises as well for the world cup. when it comes to football, we had great, great, great success with var. it was very positive. we had only one game which ended 0—0. and we had some great games and all the games have a lot of pathos and emotions. the level of excellence in the infrastructure in the stadiums, airports, hotels, transportation, in all the details and the security, the level of expertise, the level of operational excellence that i've seen here, i canjudge that, excellence that i've seen here, i can judge that, that is
6:46 pm
excellence that i've seen here, i canjudge that, that is myjob, has been really, really unprecedented. chelsea are expected to announce mauricio sarri as their new manager after antonio conte has been sacked. he will become the ninth full—time manager since roman abramovich bought the club in 2003. during three years with napoli, sarri didn't win a major honour but guided the club to second, third and second again — behind juventus in 2017—18. the former empoli manager was named serie a coach of the year in 2016—17. southampton have done a bit of business in the ransfer market today, signing the 6ft 6in denmark centre—back jannik vestergaard from german side borussia monchengladbach. the 25—year—old was born in russia for the world cup but didn't feature as denmark reached the last 16. he's signed a four—year deal at st mary's. manchester united have announced the
6:47 pm
players that will make up their new senior women's team in the upcoming women's championship. they named their squad with the help of this promo video on their twitter page. they are preparing for life in the second tier of the women's tennis domestic league and will be led by casey stoney appointed as manager la st casey stoney appointed as manager last month. with us to discuss who they had signed isjoe curry. some big names in there. exciting times for manchester united fans. casey stoney has had to build this squad from scratch. they are experienced players, youth players, if unexciting blend and a good statement of what the club wants to do. we've picked up for names starting with alex greenwood formerly of liverpool. she's one of seven players they have taken from
6:48 pm
liverpool. she's an england player, a left back and has also been named captain of the side which she has described as a real honour. someone else they've taken from liverpool, siobhan chamberlain. one of the best goalkeepers. at 34 she will bring some much—needed experience. it's quite a young side with the average age 20 one. she is part of the world cup squad in 2050. you would think with the world cup next year she would have her rise on that as well. playing in the second tier, it's interesting to see if the likes of greenwood and chamberlain can keep their place. phil neville says it's not ideal players dropping down but it wouldn't rule them out from being selected. i'm not sure how liverpool fa ns selected. i'm not sure how liverpool fans will be filling, because another player who has come down the 62 is this lady, amy turner. she's moved from liverpool like many of the others. here you can see her playing for notts county. she's had
6:49 pm
an injury ravaged couple of seasons but she is an ex—international. winning plenty of experience and probably a new lease of life. she's had injury and a club that folded on her, this is a big opportunity for her. a name that isn't too familiar because she's been atjuventus is katie zelem. what we know about katie zelem. what we know about katie zelem? katie zelem is an exciting midfielder and she's done well atjuventus helping exciting midfielder and she's done well at juventus helping them exciting midfielder and she's done well atjuventus helping them to get to their first well atjuventus helping them to get to theirfirst serie well atjuventus helping them to get to their first serie a title. once they got was certain age previously, because there wasn't a senior side at united, they had to go and find new clu bs at united, they had to go and find new clubs but casey stoney has convinced zelem and a few of the others to come back in. some of these players are coming home, really. how will they do? you would expect them to do very well in the second division. i wouldn't be

6:53 pm
attacking her approach to brexit. he met the queen and is soon to depart for turnberry in scotland. my colleague annita mcveigh has been following the events and is in westminster. thank you. it seems like a calm has descended over this area again after a day of protest which began with the trump baby balloon in parliament square behind me floating just above the tree line. a protest from many different interest groups coming together in a series of marches ending up in a big march in trafalgar square, a big protest in trafalgar square just earlier this evening. the visit of donald trump is what they are objecting to. the working visit is 110w objecting to. the working visit is now over. the little while ago he left windsor castle on his marine

one helicopter which took him to sta nsted one helicopter which took him to stansted airport one helicopter which took him to sta nsted airport and one helicopter which took him to stansted airport and from there he is travelling to scotland, to his turnberry resort and golf course for a private couple of days there. but the protests a re a private couple of days there. but the protests are following him. we saw some scenes from a big protest rally in glasgow earlier and they will continue to be protests in scotla nd will continue to be protests in scotland over the next couple of days. the organiser of the balloon protest said they were still trying to get permission to float the balloon close to the turnberry golf course. with me now is dr clodagh harrington, a senior lecturer in politics at de montfort university. please give us an overview, let's ta ke please give us an overview, let's take stock of these two days of this working visit by donald trump, the protest a nd working visit by donald trump, the protest and everything that has gone with it. i think it's been quite a whirlwind. i think in advance it was
6:55 pm
difficult to predict how president trump was going to play the visit and how he was going to behave and what his rhetoric would be like. i think he did the thing he does well, he disrupts, surprises, shocks people. we had convivial imagery coming out of blenheim palace and then we woke up to the the sun newspaper interview which seemed quite shocking and unexpected. again seems like quite a long time ago as it has now been rejected as fake news. we're coming to the end of the formal aspect the visit. it's not over yet, there are a whole range of protests covering a lot of the issues president trump has acted on and these are the kind of things people are really concerned about, running back progress made by his predecessors. we know donald trump
6:56 pm
isa predecessors. we know donald trump is a very divisive president. is there a similar is on the fact he has been at locations which have kept him well removed from the public, in areas like parliament square at the heart of british democracy we had the scenes of protest? absolutely. it is marked that he has been nowhere to be seen when all of these activity has been going on. he was mindful in advance that people were going to take to the streets when he was here and he obviously wanted to avoid that. that's his choice, obviously the main thing is he came and the main thing is people protested in response, that's the kind of healthy, vibrant democracies. has he got more out of this than the uk?|j suppose, got more out of this than the uk?” suppose, considering the choreography of the week, i don't know if there was ever a good time for him to come but sandwiched in between the nato summit and the
6:57 pm
visit to helsinki next week with vladimir putin this was going to be a particularly tricky couple of days for theresa may to manage, not to mention her brexit headaches going on recently. she might be glad when it's all over. dr clodagh harrington, thank you. those protests following donald trump towards scotland as he heads towards his golf course. we know he has a great love of golf. it will be fascinating to find out whether he makes any further response to the protests here in london and elsewhere in the uk that have accompanied this visit. obviously he will want images like meeting the queen at windsor castle, he will wa nt queen at windsor castle, he will want is to be the image is his supporters and other americans will see back in the united states. much more throughout the evening and donald trump in the uk. let's not
6:58 pm

6:59 pm
into the low 30s on sunday. —— 29 our top temperature on saturday. you're watching beyond one hundred days. what does president trump really think about theresa may and the hopes of a trade deal with the united states after brexit? this has been a day of mixed messages. an embarrassingly timed interview in the sun newspaper criticised the prime minister and her policies. a play nicely press conference with the prime minister may or may not have helped limit the damage. i give igive our i give our relationship in terms of break the highest level of the special. i'm confident that this transatlantic alliance will continue to be the bedrock of our shared unity and prosperity for years to come. the president later met the queen at windsor castle —
