11:04 pm
this atmosphere which is only 30 yea rs this atmosphere which is only 30 years old, independence after the fall of the former yugoslav republic and many of those stars were refugees during the civil war and now, what a moment. a team that has made the final. they were 33— one outsiders. nobody thought they would get this far and they managed to beat england in the semi—final and, when they did, there was an earthquake here we —— recorded. tonight, it will be louder and it will go on for longer. president trump has arrived in the finnish capital, helsinki, the venue of his summit tomorrow with russia's president, vladimir putin. mr trump flew in from scotland after a uk visit that ended
11:05 pm
with him describing the eu as a foe, accusing it of taking advantage of the united states over trade. the meeting with the russian leader comes just days after 12 russian intelligence officers were charged in the us of hacking during the 2016 election that brought mr trump to power. 0ur north america editorjon sopel reports from helsinki. it isa it is a topsy—turvy world, residents arrived in helsinki having given nato and european allies are kicking an theresa may a mauling that saying his meeting with vladimir putin might yet we the easiest of his european tour. in the trump worldview, who is a friend and who is folk? the european union is a foe, what they do to us in trade. russia is a five in certain respects. china is a foe. —— foe.
11:06 pm
but that does not mean they are bad, it does not mean anything, it means they are competitors. and that causes unease in us allies and son in his administration. 0nly causes unease in us allies and son in his administration. only two days ago 12 russian pies were indicted the interfering in the presidential election of 2016. will he agreed to their extradition? i will be certainly asking about it but this was during the 0bama administration. the russian president is not here yet. he has been detained by the small matter of a foot or match in moscow. —— football. was ignorant? almost certainly not. i find it hard to believe but that is one of the purposes of this meeting so the president can see a right to eye
11:07 pm
with president putin and ask about it. the summit will take place behind me. donald trump seems remarkably resistant to hold russia to account for its interference in the election and, given the choice between believing the united view of the intelligence services in america and vladimir putin's word that there was, somehow extraordinary donald trump seems to have sided with the soviet leader. helsinki has played host to russia — us summit but in the past there has been fixed agenda. this looks like it will be much more freewheeling and that is leaving many in the west feeling distinctly queasy. while the president was playing golf in ayrshire earlier today, the prime minister revealed in a bbc interview that he had advised her to sue the european union over brexit, rather than negotiate. theresa may spoke as she defended her plan for a brexit deal
11:08 pm
which favours close links with the eu on trade in goods. the policy has been strongly criticised by some leave campaigners and faces a tough test tomorrow in the house of commons. here's our political correspondent iain watson.. the prime minister is coming out fighting on brexit. the most immediate battles with some in her party. a new brexit pan. to cabinet members lost. many think she has not been tough enough. and so has somebody else. i can fully understand why she thought it was a little bit tough. what was this tough suggestion? he told me i should sue the eu. not go into negotiations. we are going into
11:09 pm
negotiations. we are going into negotiations with them. but more seriously for the prime minister, a new plan has not gone down well with many of her backbenchers. this week, brexiteers were pulling one way and others the other. some people say they want to vote in the trade bill to keep us in the customs union but thatis to keep us in the customs union but that is not acceptable and it is not what the british people voted for. 0thers saying we should not have built at and that would be damaging to our no deal preparation. the prize is delivering leaving the european union. some want to vote down the brexit legislation and tidy and are determined to give it a radical overhaul. brexit is enormously positive and a huge opportunity and i'm afraid the prime minister does not see that and that
11:10 pm
is why she is a remainer that has remained a remainer. is why she is a remainer that has remained a remainerlj is why she is a remainer that has remained a remainer. i have read it a couple of times and quite frankly cannot make head and tail of it. it isa cannot make head and tail of it. it is a mess. and the political folly at from chequers continues. a resignation over brexit. it is still not clear if the new plan is survived intact. 0ur political correspondent, iain watson with that report. the former minister for small business, andrew griffiths, has apologised after sending text messages of a sexual nature to two female constituents. the mp for burton, and a former chief of staff to theresa may has resigned from the government saying he was "deeply ashamed" of his actions and was seeking professional help. the brother of charlie rowley, one of the victims of the novichok poisoining in wiltshire, has spoken to the bbc about how the nerve agent came to be in his possession. dawn sturgess died after she and charlie rowley were exposed to the chemical in

amesbury last month. our home affairs correspondent danny shaw has more detail. it has not been confirmed by the metropolitan police conducting the investigation. you may remember the met said they had identified the source of the nerve agent at the city was contained in a small bottle in charlie rowley‘s flat in wilts. now we have a claim from charlie rowley‘s brother who said it was actually in a perfume bottle. it appears that he has told his brother that information. it will also seem to have been passed on to the police but, as i have said, we have had no confirmation from the metropolitan police. the metropolitan police are
11:12 pm
putting out as much detail as they can but they have not confirmed that piece of information. they have previously said that people should be very careful about what they pick up be very careful about what they pick up and they should not pick up things on the ground in that area that do not belong to them, including asthmatics, so it is possible it may have been contained ina perfume possible it may have been contained in a perfume bottle but we are just not sure. charlie rowley remains in hospital, seriously ill. his brother is concerned about his condition but he is now taking solids which is a sign of progress but still a lot of worry about his condition. people would want to make sure they are safe and that they would not come into co nta ct safe and that they would not come into contact with the novichok. not only the police need to isolate the source of where it was but it is also important that that receptacle, that bottle, where did it come from? where was it ought. is it something
11:13 pm
rare, unusual, bought at a pity you shop at a particular time. —— particular shop. and that may help discover who was responsible for the attacks. as france and croatia face off in the world cup final, another famous football team have been playing today — the senior team of the wild boars. theirjunior counterparts are still recovering in hospital after being trapped in a thai cave for more than two weeks. 0ur correspondent howard johnson was there to see them play. we are at a senior game of the wild boars. we heard that two of the players telling us that they miss playing with the younger teammates. they say they normally train with them every night after school and over the last two weeks they have really missed their presence. we'll

11:16 pm
thriller in moscow. it was the highest scoring final since 1966 and the perfect climax to what has arguably been one of the best world cups of all time. 0ur sports editor dan roan was at the luzhniki stadium. it's a sporting occasion like no other. a fixture with a global kill —— appeal that transcends the game. a final that few had predicted. the tournament seen as a public relations coup for its leader. so would this provide fitting conclusion? rights were favourites. it is the 3— time finalists who took the lead, albeit fortuitously. mario manzukic, whose goal ended england one lakh —— england's cream, put it
11:17 pm
into the net. not since a while as a small country like croatia gotten into the final but left behind. but then came controversy. the goalscorer seemed to know little about the ball deflecting onto its hand here but wench protests saw a va are review for the first time in a final. va are review for the first time in afinal. —— va are review for the first time in a final. —— var. these commonsense of celebration in paris. then came the tournament's burst will, the band pussy riot claiming responsibility for this pitch invasion. but the football was the real drama. invasion. but the football was the realdrama. 0ne invasion. but the football was the realdrama. one of invasion. but the football was the real drama. one of the tournament
11:18 pm
stars, mbappe, after getting another goal. this final had it all. even a goalkeeping howler. but that was merely a consolation for croatia. france duly adding a second title to the one they added 20 years ago on home soil. dider deschamps, once player, now coach. the party getting into full swing in paris. but russia 2018, struggling to beat expectations but ultimately, one has prevailed. meanwhile the england squad flew back home from russia today having secured fourth place in the competition. it was a low key affair. the team landing at birmingham
11:19 pm
airport this afternoon with the squad looking forward to a well earned holiday before starting training ahead of the new football season. captain harry kane was confirmed the highest scorer in the tournament and takes the golden boot. some consolation for the team after being knocked out by runners—up croatia. manager gareth southgate had high praise for the camaraderie among his squad. amazing, amazing group to work with, really tight, everybody connected, players and staff. we did have a few drinks last night and everybody was singing and it was very special so that gives you a chance of being a successful tea m, that gives you a chance of being a successful team, it's not all about science and it's not all about what happens on the pitch. sometimes those little moments that you share together, those relationships and friendships are with you forever and that's an important part of sport.
11:20 pm
we were aware of a number of landmarks you wanted to hit barriers we wa nted landmarks you wanted to hit barriers we wanted to break through and it's a lwa ys we wanted to break through and it's always better to look and improve on always better to look and improve on a position from reaching the last four. we know there was a lot of work to do. it also, we know we bought a lot of happiness to everybody and that's been very special. novak djokovich is the men's wimbledon champion — his first major tournament success since suffering a serious injury two years ago. he beat kevin anderson in straight sets to capture his 13th grand slam as james burford reports. this is what it means, after months of injury and doubters, to win your fourth wimbledon title. it had been 97 years since the south african had last graced the men's singles final here but in novak djokovic, we see a man who is very familiar with this stage. it was a who's who of fame in today's royal box hoping to be treated to another box office billing, the serbs starting stronger
11:21 pm
but anderson was more than capable of crafting opportunity. mr mark and a precedent set for the rest of this contest, another mistake gifting djokovic set number one. they missed mark. perhaps the best return tennis has ever seen, he always makes you hit one more shot. sometimes that is all it takes. both players have run marathons in the last fortnight but here, a sprint finish looked the more likely outcomes but you don't win the longest semi—final in wimbledon history without being a fighter, anderson not going anywhere just yet. nevertheless championship point was just the corner. and that's it, a fourth wimbledon title. there was something of an inevitability about novak djokovic today. he is back and looks here to stay.
11:22 pm
i had many moments of doubt and didn't know really if i could come back to the level to compete and this was my first grand slam final after a couple of years and there is no better place in the world to really make a comeback. this is a sacred, sacred place for the world of tennis and i always holding this trophy as a young boy starting to play tennis to this is very, very special. britain's jamie murray fell his short in a bid to claim the doubles title as his partner victoria azarenka and himself were beaten. murray, who won last year, fed up to the last minute with victoria azarenka but they fell at the last minute in straight sets. and it was also a step too far for 16—year—old jack draper after he lost the boys' singles final against chinese taipei's chun hsin tseng — the world junior number one beat the briton in a gripping encounter 6—16—7 6—4 but remember that name, there's surely a bright future ahead of him despite that loss. greg van avamart has
11:23 pm
extended his lead over geraint thomas at the tour de france to 43 seconds after a chaotic stage 9. australia's richie porte is out, after this crash. many of the contenders for the overall win had a punishing day on the cobbles in northern france. chris froome was brought down by one of his own team—mates but the defending champion managed to rejoin the race and is up to 8th overall. van avamart, in the yellowjersey, pushed for the stage win but was beaten across the line in roubaix byjohn degenkolb. that's all the sport for now. these are the latest scenes from paris. tens of thousands of people celebrating on the shops are lycee. there have been some scenes of violence, dub and thousands of
