the goal in the first few minutes gave england fan so much hope in a summer gave england fan so much hope in a summer to gave england fan so much hope in a summer to remember. gave england fan so much hope in a summer to remember. they were really feeling they were onto something. we know it was not to be but it was still england's best finish at a world cup and almost three decades. but in gareth is how gates words, the summer is over and that they wa nted the summer is over and that they wanted to prove russia was no fluke they needed to start beating top teams like spain which in the past they have not been able to do. spain isa they have not been able to do. spain is a team in transition and are under new management and lost a few of their stalwarts to retirement and bait bombed out at the knockout stage to russia. was too accurate southgate had to say about spain yesterday. spain is in a slightly different tactical test, they have outstanding midfield players in the same way and not the identical test that we faced. and of course we

don't 100% that we faced. and of course we don't100% know how they are going to approach the game with a new coach, the team has progressed a long way and i think back two years to when we last played spain, the detail and how we play now to how we repaired for that game is much much further down the line and much more advanced, the style of play is completely different. and we are evolving and improving. he has retained a quarter of the squad that did so well in russia and it would have been 18 but they were pulling out as a precaution due to a back injury and we know that cahill and fardy have retired. they will be excited to see luke shaw play for england which we have not seen since march 2017. he is thought to be the one to shore up the left back position but he played every minute for mourinho and he probably would have been a shoe went for the world

cup and this is not a friendly as already said. it is a competitive fixture so important for england to lay down the marker and lay down beside like spain. but the world cup winners will not be a pushover. thank you very much and let's move on to tennis now. in a few hours' time, serena williams will step—out for her us open final hoping to make history... the american is aiming to win a record—equalling 24th grand slam singles title — in her way, the young — naomi osaka, the firstjapanese women to reach a major final. but the 36—year—old williams is the firm favourite, just a year since having a baby and suffering life threatening complications. ido i do not feel like me. i think it ta kes i do not feel like me. i think it takes time, my mum says it takes like a full year to kind of get back. and i am at a full year now but i am also playing a sport professionally and the emotions and expectations in all the other stuff that you add on top of it... it is a

emily croydon reports. they broke new ground last year when they announced an equal laying budget for their men's and women's teams, the reaction to their pioneering stance on gender equality was mixed but a season on, they appear to be reaping the rewards. the women's team were recently selected by the faa to enter the new second—tier while the men's team was also promoted. with these successes, equality is fast becoming part of this club's dna. we thought we should keep paying women the same budget as men, for the same hours and allocations of resources and there will be some who watched men's football who don't agree with it. but plenty of support has been on board. it has brought in a new demographic of fans. board. it has brought in a new demographic of fanslj board. it has brought in a new demographic of fans. i see women on instagram and x factor and are using

themselves in a different way, it was like a breath of fresh air because i was thinking of my daughter. we feel like a massive pa rt of daughter. we feel like a massive part of the club, not an add—on or must—have. part of the club, not an add—on or must-have. i guess we are paving the way for hopefully the future in terms of what whitman's football can rise to. is it feasible that manchester united or chelsea or arsenal will equalise their playing budget axes and? no, but all those clu bs budget axes and? no, but all those clubs can... when we pay women the same as men and can afford to do it, to me that should be a given. and reality in a very still pay parity isa reality in a very still pay parity is a long way off but as lewes prepared to make their mark on the championship, for them it is all about the right here and right now. olympic champion greg rutherford jumped for the last time in his career at the great north games in newcastle this afternoon. 7 metres 38 was his final leap into the sandpit —

there is that things have reached such a point, thatjeremy corbyn's supporters are deliberately trying to oust so—called moderate mps. he's made that claim after three mps, all of whom who have criticised the party leadership, were subject to no—confidence votes by their local parties. they are just symbolic but people are suggesting this is part ofa people are suggesting this is part of a wider campaign. you heard john mcdonnell there, critical of the language chukka umunna used but he also dismissed the idea of conspiracy altogether, said that chukka umunna should stop throwing himself around in front of tv cameras. labour says there is no conspiracy by the left—wing group momentum has called for a change to the party rules to make it easier to challenge sitting mps. they say that is just challenge sitting mps. they say that isjust in challenge sitting mps. they say that is just in favour of democracy. but all of this is likely to come to a head at the party conference later this month. for now, thank you, alex forsyth. sweden's prime minister has used the final day of campaigning in the country's general election to issue a warning about extremism and fascism. to issue a warning about opinion polls suggest stefan lofven's centre—left social democrats are unlikely to win a majority, and that the the anti—immigrant anti—eu sweden democrats will gain votes.

think it is only him at the moment, stop throwing yourself in front of tv cameras inventing stories and get out there and start campaigning for a labour government. unite with the re st of a labour government. unite with the rest of the party because what we wa nt rest of the party because what we want isa rest of the party because what we want is a labour government as soon as possible. right away across the country there 5000 people sleeping wrapped, wages below what they were in 2008, then those are the issues we are dealing with, not internal disputes he is trying to invent or referring to are party members as dogs. unacceptable. don mcdonald on that labour row. just like broadchurch or baker street, the shetland islands have captured visitors' imaginations thanks to a popular crime thriller based there. they're experiencing a tourist boom because of shetland, a tv drama based on novels by author anne cleeves. as the final book in the series is released, our reporter jothohnston has been to see the set for himself. shetland. the crime drama has enjoyed worldwide success with its likeable characters, strong storylines,
