boxer anthonyjoshua has suffered a shock defeat — losing his three world titles in new york to underdog andy ruinunior. and coming up at half past four — following a special week of coverage, we'll be looking back at some of the highlights of we are middlesbrough. good afternoon. welcome to bbc news. liverpool's players are beginning a victory parade through the city after their champions league victory against tottenham last night. the players arrived back in the uk earlier today with the european cup trophy — it is the sixth time they've won the competition.
4:02 pm
stuart flinders is in liverpool for us. you were saying earlier, there are a few people coming, it is filled up nicely in the last hour or so. there must be thousands of people just within walking distance of where i am little known throughout the rest of the city, the city is packed people have travelled here from all over europe. look at the crowds. people have come here from germany, holland, just to be here for the match last night and just to see the trophy today. look at these guys. if you can't get a good view on the ground, clamberup to you can't get a good view on the ground, clamber up to the top of a traffic light, it doesn't look very safe, beyond them you might be able to see one of the road signs, two men with signs there and it looks like the least comfortable perspective today but you won't matter that the. masses of people
4:03 pm
here. the parade has started a short time ago. the players flew back in from madrid earlier today and now they are on that bus starting their long crawl through the city. they won't rush their way through. it will be a good hour or so before they get to us here. we are just by they get to us here. we are just by the docks, by the waterfront of the mersey here. just near the albert dock if you can see where the museum is. look at the size of that crowd. iam not is. look at the size of that crowd. i am not sure liverpool fc a nice thing like this, i was here in 2005 and the price was on a weekday, but this on a sunday, people have been able to get here and it is banners everywhere. this party really started as soon as the match finished last night. there were people drinking and enjoying themselves in liverpool all through themselves in liverpool all through the night and right until the first trains started running again from
4:04 pm
lime street this morning. the party really continuing here. how has the city reacted to the result? it is kind of a vindication forjurgen klopp. i know he kept saying it doesn't matter to win the kind of trophies, it matters how you perform, it is a team and how you work together as a team, i hope you can hear that, i am wondering how important they feel it is to show their appreciation for the team because they had a rotten run of luck at the end of the season. they did. last year that shattering defeat in the final, to goalkeeping errors that cost them the match, they were determined to make it to good this time round. only 12 months to wed. they lost their three away matches in the group stages. they we re matches in the group stages. they were virtually out against barcelona in the semifinal until that dramatic comeback. jurgen klopp himself has already been to two finals that he
4:05 pm
was beaten in it so he was determined to get a win under his belt. interesting earlier this week at one of the news conferences, he was asked would this be his biggest moment in football and he said the biggest moment was when he won promotion in germany with mainz who we re promotion in germany with mainz who were not a very fashionable side and had no money, i wonder if he will revise that opinion now, when he drives through the city and sees how affectionate the city is, i say the city, i don't know about everton fans. i would say even the most churlish everton fan would... terrific hearing yesterday and today in madrid the good humourfrom spurs fans. i know in derbies it is a bit more tense, but hats off to liverpool as a city and the team. can you tell us a bit about the route they are ticking come slow victory parade into the centre? they
4:06 pm
are starting near the airport and then they continue through a lot of residential areas until they hit the waterfront not far from where we are and then they will continue along here. they will have to close the road. there are still people right across the road step right along here to the albert dock. then finishing not farfrom here to the albert dock. then finishing not far from here probably. there will be plenty of opportunities for people to get a good look at them. i think the crowd is very much like this wherever you go in the city. there are some flowers just to the right, flowers going off and people throwing balls into the airto going off and people throwing balls into the air to try and keep themselves amused. —— flares going off. flag sellers are having a field day, banners saying madrid 2019, adding them to the five trophies
4:07 pm
liverpool have won. a great day for the city. it certainly is. we are very grateful for you being there to give us a birdseye commentary and we will come back as the bus crawls ever closer through liverpool. stuart flinders in liverpool on that victory parade. president trump says the uk should be prepared to leave the eu without a deal. his comments to the sunday times come ahead of his arrival in the uk tomorrow for a three—day state visit. the issue of brexit is dominating the race for the conservative leadership, and today another mp came forward to become the 13th candidate for the role. our political correspondent susana mendonca reports. state visits are not supposed to delve into politics but this is donald trump. not only has he suggested that the uk government include the brexit party leader nigel farage in its negotiations with the eu he is also advising britain to opt
4:08 pm
for a no—deal brexit if it does not get its way. i would not pay $50 billion, that's a big number. it's a big number. if you don't get the deal you want, if you don't get a fair deal then you walk away. the us president's views could be seized on by some in this ever—growing line—up of conservative leadership candidates for a contest in which the debate has centred of leaving with no deal versus delaying brexit to do a deal. the former leader of the house has been putting more meat on the bones of her plan today which sounded a lot like no—deal although she is calling it something different. i have a three—step plan for a managed exit which i believe is workable. i've been advocating it in government for some time now and i think it's based on the premise that number one we have to leave the eu at the end of october, and number two the withdrawal agreement bill is dead. the home secretary who is keeping no deal on the table for his bid is promising a digital solution to irish border.
4:09 pm
i would make a grand gesture, a grand offer to ireland that we would cover all their costs, the upfront costs and the running cost of a new digitised border, i think it can be done in a couple of years but we would cover their costs. the health secretary matt hancock who says a no—deal brexit is not realistic is suggesting a time limit on the irish backstop and a new free trade deal with the eu. the latest wannabe prime minister to join the fray is throwing another referendum into the mix. the former universities minister who quit over theresa may's withdrawal agreement says he wants to broaden the debate. if the choice is between no—deal and revoke then the way to break through this impasse and actually get things moving could be a second vote. that's 13 candidates so far trying their luck in a race that doesn't officially begin until theresa may formally steps down. and that will be after donald trump's been and gone.
4:10 pm
heavy rain and snow are hampering the search for eight climbers, including four britons, who are missing in india. the group had been trying to climb the country's second highest peak — nanda davey — but failed to return to their base camp on friday. officials say there were signs of an avalanche on the mountain. angus crawford has the details. more than 25,000 feet of ice and rock — nanda devi, india's second highest peak. now, eight climbers, including fourfrom the uk, are missing after reports of bad weather. it's thought they planned to take on another peak in the range never climbed before. it's a very challenging mountain even by its... i can't even say easiest route, but more common route. this is a mountain that's only seen 13 or 1a successful expeditions since it was first climbed in 1936. on friday, when they failed to return, the alarm was raised. the rescue hampered by rain and snow. one of those confirmed missing
4:11 pm
is academic dr richard payne from the university of york. the expedition leader is martin moran, a hugely experienced mountaineer. yeah, well, i'm still holding out hope, as people can go missing in the himalayas for a week. you can get trapped, and then might have to dig a snow hole and survive for several days. but the monsoon is moving in now, which is very heavy rain in the indian lowlands, and then it's dumping fresh amounts of snow and bad weather in the mountains. we are worried that there is an avalanche involved. the search mission, abandoned due to bad weather, will start again tomorrow. angus crawford, bbc news. earlier this afternoon the family of the expedition leader, martin moran, issued a statement. they said... "we have been informed that an air search by helicopter has "revealed "the scale of the avalanche, but no sign of the climbers, "their equipment or their tents. "we are pressing for the search area to be widened and continued." meanwhile officials have said four
4:12 pm
other british climbers have been rescued from the same area of the himalayas. zachary quain, ian wade, kate armstrong and mark thomas were airlifted to safety after being spotted early this morning at a base camp near nanda devi. they were not part of the larger group, but had been keeping in touch with them via radio — and last spoke to them a week ago. the brits will now be providing information to help search teams. police in northern ireland say they have begun a cross—border investigation after a bomb found under a serving police officer's car at a golf club in belfast. the discovery yesterday afternoon forced the evacuation of the club while army bomb disposal experts made the device safe. police say they suspect dissident republicans planted the device and that the incident is being treated as attempted murder. we are extraordinarily fortunate that we are not talking about the murder of a police officer, of members of his family
4:13 pm
or indeed members of the public. placing a bomb that has been planted recklessly, cruelly and viciously under his car. the attempt to murder a police officer is an attempt to murder a public servant. and i cannot understand what cause is advanced by attempting to murder a man who, day in, day out seeks to serve this community. the people that carried out this attack deserve the absolute condemnation of all right—thinking people. they have nothing to offer anyone, except for more suffering and more loss. the home secretary, sajid javid, has said the number of migrants attempting to cross the channel to reach the uk is "deeply concerning." yesterday, 7a people on eight boats tried to make the crossing
4:14 pm
when they were intercepted by the uk border force off the south coast. a criminal investigation is now underway. these are pictures you will want to look at and breathe a sigh of relief the result wasn't a lot more serious. a cruise ship has hit a tourist boat as it was docking in venice harbour this morning. the msc opera can be seen here moving towards the dock and hitting the other boat. those on the quayside began running away as the ship scraped along the dock with its horn blaring, before knocking into the other vessel. four people were slightly injured. a lot less serious than it could have been. a few scrapes i should imagine on the paintwork and a lot of embarrassment on the bridge. simon skinner is on holiday
4:15 pm
in venice and told me what he saw. this vessel did seem to be going a lot faster than the normal cruise ships. it had tugs as normal to the front and rear but when we were watching it it was clear that it was off course and it was like a slow motion disaster, crashing into the wharf. it was very fortunate that the ship crashed into the dock because if it had gone further it would have crushed the smaller vessel. the headlines on bbc news... liverpool are parading the champions league trophy on a victory lap of the streets of the city. it follows their triumph last night in madrid, whenjurgen klopp's side beat tottenham 2—0 to be crowned european champions. donald trump has again intervened in british politics — saying the new conservative leader should be prepared to walk away
4:16 pm
from the eu without a deal. former universities minister sam gyimah says he is standing in the conservative leadership contest to replace theresa may. he is the 13th candidate to enter the race. some pictures of the scene in liverpool this afternoon. this is from a helicopter view over the city as you just can see the contrast between the streets where people aren't expecting the bus to appear carrying the liverpool team and the streets where they are expecting them to appear. on the right of the fixture is just another lazy sunday afternoon anywhere in england, on the left of the picture it is party city. look at those sites. you can even see a few flares going off as people mark the slow progress of their team. that is not a metaphor
4:17 pm
although some would say perhaps jurgen klopp has taken his time in getting the trophy. he says what matters is the quality of the football and how well they played as a team. rightly after the disappointment of the season even if they hadn't have been the better tea m they hadn't have been the better team last night, they would have deserved victory step more about the sport and football and all the rest with ollie foster. good afternoon. i would rather the parade was in north london but there you go. no football in this bulletin! anthonyjoshua has described his shock defeat in new york overnight as a ‘minor setback.‘ he was stopped in the seventh round by the mexican andy ruinunior. his first professional defeat saw him lose all three of his world heavyweight titles. a re—match is now on the cards and joshua has vowed to ‘get his belts back. and joshua has vowed our reporter ade adedoyin and joshua has vowed
4:18 pm
was at madison square garden and joshua has vowed not and joshua has vowed many thought this would go distance not many thought this would go the distance and even fewer thought joshua would be counted out. as he went for the finish, he countered. rubbing joshua before a right hand sent him to the canvas. ruiz is one donjoshua in sent him to the canvas. ruiz is one don joshua in more sent him to the canvas. ruiz is one donjoshua in more knock—downs and it was all over. the referee had seen it was all over. the referee had seen enough. a shock to rank amongst the greatest in heavyweight history bya man the greatest in heavyweight history by a man who wasn't even supposed to be there. joshua says he still wants to buy a wbc champion deontay wilder but more realistic is a rematch with ruiz. boxing is about not getting hit and ruiz. boxing is about not getting hitandi ruiz. boxing is about not getting hit and i got hit one too many times. it is all good. it is not the result i wanted but it doesn't define me when i bounce back, sharpen my tools and my mindset. still a lot of positives. while this was meant to be the moment anthony joshua counted america. but rather than make his mark here he leads america with questions now about his future. big question marks about where he goes next. a possible
4:19 pm
rematch. he seemed fairly gracious in defeat posting this on social media, a picture with him and ruiz. ruiz media, a picture with him and ruiz. ruinunior becoming the first mexican world heavyweight champion. contrasting reactions from tyson fury and the wbc title holder deontay wilder. johanna konta's fantastic clay—court season continues, she is the the first british woman to reach the french open quarterfinals for 36 years. she's been runner up in morocco and rome in the lead up to roland garros and she dropped only six games against the croatian donna vekic.
4:20 pm
konta had never got past the first round in paris before this year. she'll face either garbine muguruza or sloane stephens next. i haven't played garbine muguruza on the clay so if i play her it will be a different experience. i know she plays well in paris. that will be that. against sloan i played her recently in rome but what she does well as she raises her level in tough moments as well. whoever i am playing i am looking forward to it. south africa need to set a world cup record run chase if they are going to beat bangladesh that they will. south africa won the toss and put bangladesh in to bat and they made the highest one—day score, 330—6. shakib and mushfiqur put on a stand of 142,
4:21 pm
that was a world cup record for them 124-2. 1211—2. just 124—2. just about on course. bradford bulls are playing halifax in the challenge cup quarterfinal. bradford led six nil at half—time. fouled in the process of scoring, he also kicked a penalty which put them out— six up. bradford have gone ahead again, a converted try. 12—8. you can watch that on bbc two or the bbc sport website. we are back it appetite. our deepest commiserations. thank you! funeral plan providers are set to be regulated by the independent financial watchdog for the first time under new government plans. it follows complaints that some people are being pushed into buying products they don't fully understand. those found guilty of bullying people into buying expensive pre—paid plans could face fines and criminal charges.
4:22 pm
a leading democratic nominee in the us 2020 presidential election was interrupted on—stage by a protester at an event in california last night. senator kamala harris was answering a question on equal pay when a man came and took her microphone from her. hey, hey, hey! the protester — a 24—year—old animal rights activist named aidan cook — said he wanted her attention for a "much bigger idea" than the pay gap. social media users have been quick to point out the irony of a man interrupting ms harris whilst she was discussing her plans for equality. organisers of the california event have apologised. fridges and air conditioning units are responsible for a fifth of the world's carbon dioxide emissions. now, scientists think they might have come up with a solution to make them better for the environment — and a balloon has provided inspiration for the idea. richard westcott reports.
4:23 pm
one fifth of the world's energy goes on running fridges and air—conditioning units. they are often inefficient, energy hungry and can leak greenhouse gases into the air. demonstrate it quickly. so now a cambridge team... it's gone really hot! ..has come up with an alternative. and then... it's really cold! that's amazing. i will explain the balloon thing in a second. first, you need to know that fridges and air—conditioning units currently work by expanding and then squashing gases. the cambridge team is looking to replace that gas with more eco—friendly solids. it is complex work but you can show it with a simple experiment and a thermal camera. like with a balloon, if you expand the new materials quickly, they go white, which means hot. squash them quickly and they go black, which means cold. here are some of the materials
4:24 pm
they hope will one day replace the gases in the back of ourfridges. so, they'll load them into the machine and then squeeze them and stretch them to see what happens. so, the impact can be potentially tremendous because if we can actually find a solid material to replace the gases we use in vapour compression fridges and air—conditioning systems, we can hope to have a technology that is both environmentally friendly and much more energy efficient. they have developed organic materials that workjust as well as gas but without the potentially harmful leakage. it's still early days, but it could lead to fridges and aircon units that devour much less energy and are better for the environment. richard westcott, bbc news, cambridge. let's take a look at some of today's other stories on bbc news. an explosion at a factory in the russian city of dzerzhinsk has injured 79 people and damaged 180 homes nearby.
4:25 pm
city officials say the factory produces and stores high—explosive bombs for the military. at least five people were inside the factory at the time of the explosion. they were all safely evacuated. the brazilian football star neymar has strongly denied an accusation that he raped a woman in paris. in a brazilian police report, the woman alleges that the attack took place in a hotel, near where neymar plays for paris st—germain. neymar‘s management has put out a statement saying the footballer "completely repudiated" the accusation. british airways is set to become the first western airline to resume flights to pakistan, after the route was cancelled because of security risks. the airline stopped flying to the country in 2008 after the marriott hotel bombing. a flight from heathrow to islamabad is due to take off this evening.
4:26 pm
let's ta ke let's take you back to liverpool. not a lot has happened in the 20 minutes or so since we last looked at the pictures stop they are still going quite slowly. the crowds are as busy if not busier than they were. you can hear as busy if not busier than they were. you can hear a as busy if not busier than they were. you can hear a bit the sand there. the pictures are coming from liverpool football club tv. i think the sound is coming from the helicopter and i may be wrong, it may be our sound mixer. elegantly mixing in the sand from the location where our colleague stuart flinders is currently positioned. looking at the area pictures as the bus, buses make their way through the crowds, it is really striking the contrasts between those roads where the boss isn't going to be going and those where it is going because it is like the whole of liverpool has packed themselves into this stretch of road on which they are going to get a
4:27 pm
glimpse of the passing heroes. yeah, i wonder exactly how many people have turned out for this. the council tell us they are expecting three quarters of a million but it sounds a big number, but you have to wonder whether there are more than that he had to just where i am, wonder whether there are more than that he had tojust where i am, i am just standing by pierhead, there are thousands of people here, it may be 30 or40,000, it thousands of people here, it may be 30 or 40,000, it is hard tojudge, but masses of people here. there are few cities and few football clubs that could really bring this sort of crowd onto the streets for an event like this. people from all over the world have flown in especially to watch the match here even though it was taking place in madrid. german fa ns was taking place in madrid. german fans i spoke to an earlier decided to make a weekend of it and they are glad they booked the flight over tomorrow because they can stay and see the trophy come past them today. it will take a long time for that
4:28 pm
bus to make its way through liverpool. it will reach us here i would say in about an hour or maybe an hourand a would say in about an hour or maybe an hour and a half minute but other people have expressed some scepticism about that because it is going to take quite a while. yes, i think it is. we will touch base with you again and leave you enjoying the atmosphere there in the city centre down at pierhead and we will come back to you, just show viewers few more of those aerial pictures to get a sense of the crowds walking by the bus and trying to keep up with them and trying to spot their favourite fire and fire and try and hope for a while back, you won't get a selfie but you might get a decent shot from the ground. it looks quite lovely and liverpool. let's take a look at the weather with nick miller. temperatures reached 30 celsius in the hottest parts of eastern england today but elsewhere it has been showers. the cooler pressure will
