won europe's top club championship. stuart flinders is in liverpool. about an hour ago, thousands and thousands of people were here just waiting to see the trophy. they had been here for much of the day, filling that space there. look at it now, all that is left behind is plastic bags, tin cans blowing in the win. a lot of work for the clea ners to the win. a lot of work for the cleaners to do before they can open this road to return to normalfor the working week. it has been an incredible day here on merseyside and andy swiss was in the thick of it. talk about painting the town red. for liverpool's players and fans, a day of unbridled celebration as the european champions brought the city to a glorious standstill. stars and supporters united in euphoria, managerjurgen klopp clearly enjoying the party as they paraded the trophy through the streets.

whatever it took, you just had to be there. we're so proud. once you're liverpool, you love liverpool. i don't know. fabulous. if we're doing this now, the future's looking very bright for us, very bright, it's looking amazing. it's just we've waited years for this, and let's face it, we wanted the premier league, but this will do. just a few hours earlier, the players had landed back home with that extra hand luggage. the famous trophy‘s sixth visit to liverpool, and a reward for a night when winning was all that mattered. commentator: origi with a chance, and surely that wins it for liverpool! their victory over tottenham might not have been particularly pretty, but safe to say they didn't seem to mind. as the celebrations continued from the pitch to the dressing room, a case of singing when you're winning. # ole, ole, ole.

but might this actuallyjust be the start of something very special? so now we won something, and we will carry on, and we will win, we want to win things. 100%, this group, isaid it, this is only the start for this group, so it is still a wonderful age group. they all have the best times in their careers still ahead of them, so that's big. for me, i'm happy, i'm really happy. and for klopp and co, today was a chance to revel in their glory. a sea of red and a wall of noise, a homecoming like no other. liverpool's spectacular season ending in spectacular celebration. andy swiss, bbc news, liverpool. it is hard to think that an hour ago there were so many people here. and what a sight they had when the bus finally arrived here at the peer probably the climax of the entire parade, which began at about 4pm this afternoon. it reached here at

about 7:15pm, something like that. going past the pierhead, the fireworks went off, the fans had been cheering loudly. they had been lining the route probably since about 12. they waited seven hours very patiently to see the bus. it did finally get here and the whole place went up. the players holding the trophy, mosul at the back of the bus holding the trophy. it has been a day to remember. how are you feeling? a little bit hung over, but all right. it's got to be done. what does this mean to everybody? it is just to be done. what does this mean to everybody? it isjust unreal. you cannot ask a question like that because you cannot put it into words. you have got to be here to feel it and experience it to know what it means it was. it's great. everyone in liverpool should have come out today because what they've achieved is absolutely brilliant.

come out today because what they've achieved is absolutely brilliantm hasn't sunk in yet. after last year ididn't hasn't sunk in yet. after last year i didn't think we would bounce back this quickly, but and even when we play a bad game is still wind 2—0. martin is so special right now. everything. it is my 18th birthday on tuesday. happy birthday. it means everything to me. they have got it, haven't they. just unbelievable. it really has been an incredible day and there are a few cities in the country that could have responded like that to their team's success. you can see what it is like here now, it is pretty quiet and looking a bit bleak and sad with the letter blowing around. the big clean—up operation has begun, but really, it has been a superb day for liverpool fans, for the team and for the city. i fans, for the team and for the city. , stuart flinders, thank you very

much. we will find out this story and many others covered in tomorrow's front pages. if you image i suspect dominated by the colour red. 10:30pm and 11:30pm is when the papers will happen. president trump arrives in the uk tomorrow for his state visit, but the build—up to his visit has been dominated by controversial comments from him on brexit and the conservative leadership contest. the foreign sercretaryjeremy hunt said donald trump would still get a warm welcome, calling it "the most important partnership in the world". here's our diplomatic correspondent james landale. this visit is designed to celebrate an old alliance. flags and heads of state standing together. but even before the ceremony begins there is controversy with president trump intervening on brexit. even saying he thinks borisjohnson

would be a good prime minister. a breach of diplomatic protocol that left his ambassador picking up the pieces. he has known boris for a long time so i think what he is commenting on is just his knowledge of boris as a person and all the meetings he has had with boris. it is not an endorsement. over the next three days, president trump will get all the pageantry of a state visit. dinner with the queen, lunch with the prime minister and d—day commemorations at portsmouth. but all this at a time when britain and the us disagree over how to tackle the threat from iran, how much to engage with chinese technology firms and how best to combat climate change. there's a whole list of things that we don't agree with the administration on, but it doesn't affect the fact that we have the most important partnership that there is in the world. but not everyone shares that view. london's mayor sadiq khan described

mr trump as a global threat and tens of thousands are getting ready to protest. i think lots of people are going to be taking the day off work and coming down to protest to send a message to donald trump, to our government and the world that everything he represents is rejected by the people here. this visit is designed to emphasise britain's long relationship with the united states. its shared history, value and sacrifice, particularly in the second world war. the risk is that it also highlights britain's differences with the current administration. differences that may be played out here on the streets, but also in the corridors of power. state visits are about symbols and imagery and not all may be to the president's liking. james landale, bbc news. i'm joined now by david dunn, professor of international politics at the university of birmingham.

these comments are unconventional and you might argue they are typical of donald trump to an extent, how much do they matter, do you think? they matter because they change the mood of the visit and cause embarrassment to the government and the royal family and their hosts. but largely i think they will be ignored and put to one side. the fa ct ignored and put to one side. the fact the prime minister will depart ina fact the prime minister will depart in a month's tie makes it easier to do that because he will make comments to her, but british politics starts again with the new prime minister being sworn in later in the summer. what is on the wish list of either side here, do you think? i think both sides announced through the state department and the foreign office, they would like this to go without a hitch and without any more unpredictability from the president. the last time the interview with the sun newspaper happened during the royal banquet, this time it has happened before in

a sense, the news expectation management has happened before he arrived. but the speculation he will appraise brexit at the state banquet, that will be embarrassing to do that because it will be involving little statements in front of the royal family and that will breach protocol. the bottom line as far as the breach protocol. the bottom line as faras the uk breach protocol. the bottom line as far as the uk is concerned, make the president feel welcome, give him the pump he desires and taken to the d—day landings in portsmouth and help feet there are no incidents with protesters, like they have threatened to do. it gives a good impression to america and he goes away with a warm feeling towards the uk. if we are to leave the european union and there are some discussions about the foundations we have with america may be part of those negotiations. certainly his ambassador has made warm noises to that regard and as part of the

general close relationship you get when you have a visit like this. the word about areas of disagreement between the two, jeremy hunt made brief reference to it earlier, how much will they be touched upon do you think? this is a president who doesn't shy away from controversial things even when a visit like this is meant to be primarily ceremonial. we can expect him to be critical of the uk's ambiguity with regard to its position on huawei and reiterate the threat unless america gets its way with regard to chinese technology. we expect him to demand access to the american market for agriculture if there was a trade agreement. his ambassador on the tv this morning, talks about the entire british economy being on the table as part of trade negotiations. that is the scale of how much trade will

change if the uk leaves the eu and instead looks for trade agreements with the united states. that is true of agriculture, manufacturing and finance and it is true of health care, which has been the most controversial aspect of that. david, good to have your thoughts. thank you very much indeed. four british climbers have been airlifted to safety from india's second highest mountain. they were spotted early this morning at base camp. but four other britons in a separate group, are still missing. officials say there were signs of an avalanche on the mountain. our correspondent yogita limaye sent this report from the indian himalayas. it is one of the toughest mountains in the world to climb. not many have dared to take on the jagged peaks. this is a video filmed by a group of mountaineers a few years ago. now, in these icy slopes, eight climbers are missing.

they were being led by martin moran, a man a well known in the climbing community. this is a photo of the team before they set out nearly three weeks ago. they were to return to the mountain's base camp on friday. when that didn't happen, a search was launched. the terrain and the mountains is so treacherous, many parts are so remote, they cannot be accessed by road, that search and rescue operations are always difficult. once the climbers were reported missing, we are told two teams were dispatched from different directions to the base camp to look for them. but even getting there and getting information out is a tough task. they were able to air lift these british climbers to safety. a group of four that was stuck on the mountain. unhurt, they are now aiding what the search efforts

for the eight still missing. they were able to give us some input about the general direction in which these remaining mountaineers have gone. there seems to have been multiple avalanches in the area. as more time goes by, it becomes harder to find these climbers companions, the family has asked for the search to be continued and whiting. still holding a hope. you can get trapped and they might have to dig a hole and survive for a few days. but the monsoon is moving in now. it is very heavy raining in the indian area and it is dumping fresh snow into the mountains. we are worried there is an avalanche involved. at sunrise, rescuers will once again begin to scour the slopes. the headlines on bbc news:

hundreds of thousands of liverpool football fans come out onto the streets to welcome home the champions of europe. they became sixth—time european cup winners afterjurgen klopp's team beat tottenham 2—0 in madrid. donald trump has again intervened in british politics — saying the new conservative leader should be prepared to walk away from the eu without a deal. heavy rain and snow hampers the search for eight climbers, including four from britain, who are missing in the himalayas. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, he is olly foster. good evening. anthonyjoshua has described his first professional defeat as a minor setback and says he will get his three world heavyweight titles

back after being beaten by andy ruinunior in new york. the mexican was a late replacement to face joshua, but knocked him down four times before the fight was stopped. our reporter ade adedoyin was at madison square garden. not many thought this would go the distance and even fewer thought it would be joshua who would be counted out. the champion struck first and, as he went for the finish, ruiz countered, wobbling joshua before a right hand sent him to the canvas. moments later, he faulted under another marriage of punches. sensing his moment, ruiz swarmed onjoshua in the seventh. two more knock—downs and it was all over. the referee had seen enough. a shock to rank amongst the greatest in heavyweight history by a man who wasn't even supposed to be there. joshua says he still wants to face the wbc champion deontay wilder, but more realistic is a rematch with ruiz. boxing is about not getting hit and i got hit one too many times. it's all good. it's not the result i wanted but it doesn't define me. i'm going to bounce back, sharpen my tools, sharpen my mindset, and i think there's

still a lot of positives. this was meant to be the moment when anthonyjoshua conquered america, but rather than make his mark here he leaves america with questions now about his future. johanna konta has definitely found her feet on clay this season. a runner—up in rome and morocco, she is into the quarterfinals at the french open, the first british women to make it that far sincejo durie back in 1983. she beat donna vekic in straight sets. miriam walker—khan was watching. before 2019, johanna konta had never won a match at the french open. but her impressive run this year brought her to her knees brought her to her meeting against donna vekic, a friend off and on the court. and konta did a good job of putting that to one side. it was hard to judge who would win with the pair battling through numerous stubborn rallies.

her new mantra and coach demetri is having autonomy on court, and she did so looking calm and collected, barely exchanging a glance with her team. this week, konta said herself winning back to back means you learn to trust yourself. and that is exactly what she did. a little bit of history made, but konta will be happy to continue walking injo durie's footsteps and make it all the way to the final four. and konta will now face last yea r‘s runner—up, sloane stephens. the american came through in straight sets against the 2016 champion, garbine muguruza. konta has won both her previous matches against stephens. there were very straightforward wins for roger federer and rafael nadal today. but the 2015 champion stan wawrinka needed five sets and more than five hours to beat stefanos tsitsipas — the longest match of this year's tournament so far. he'll face federer

in the quarterfinals. we've had our first upset at the world cup, a 21—run victory for bangladesh against south africa, who have now lost two matches following defeat to england. in their opener they won the toss and put bangladesh in to bat at the oval. and they made their highest one—day total of 330—6. that set south africa what would have been a record world cup run chase, but they fell short, 309—8. mustafizur rahman was the pick of the bowlers with three wickets. part—timers halifax have become the first championship side in 13 years to reach the semi—finals of rugby league's challenge cup, thanks to a really hard—fought win over fellow championship side bradford bulls. they came from 6—0 down at half—time to win 20 points to 16. james woodburn—hall scored the decisive try. and the reward for halifax is a daunting trip to super league leaders st helens, a repeat

of the 1987 final that halifax won. warrington wolves will play hull fc. both semis will be played on saturday the 27th ofjuly at the university of bolton stadium. that's all the sport for now. a cruise ship lost control as it tried to dock in venice, crashing into a wharf and hitting a tourist boat. it seems the vessel, called the opera, may have broken loose from a tug boat and was then unable to stop because of strong currents. four people were hurt. katharine da costa reports. horns blaring and out of control. the cruise ship ploughs into the dock, ramming a small tourist boat and sending dozens of people running for safety. on board, stunned passengers brace themselves for impact. someone else went in the water!

back that way! it was just a matter of shock, and we were trembling, we couldn't believe what we were seeing. and just to see this thing out of control was just, it was almost literally unbelievable. the collision happened this morning on the giudecca canal, one of the busiest in venice. the ships owners, msc cruises, has blamed a technical issue. the incident will no doubt add pressure to ban large ships from venice's busy canal system. katharine da costa, bbc news. many people applying for us visas will have to hand over their social media account details under new rules. the new regulations will see 14.7 million people a year submitting their social media information and a five year history of email addresses

and phone numbers. while some diplomatic and official visa applications will be exempt from the measures, those affected will include people travelling to the us to work or study. an explosion at a factory in a russian city has injured 79 people and damaged 180 homes nearby. 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 brazil and paris st—germain football star, neymar, has strongly denied an accusation of raping a woman. in a brazilian police report, the woman alleges that neymar attacked her in a paris hotel. neymar‘s management has put out a statement saying the footballer "completely repudiated" the accusation. police in northern ireland have started a cross—border investigation after a bomb was left under the car of an off—duty officer at a belfast golf club. one of the vehicles that detectives believe was used in the murder bid yesterday had a dublin number plate.

police have blamed the attempted attack on dissident republicans who are opposed to the peace process. from belfast, mark simpson reports. an army bomb disposal unit at a golf club. they had just defused a lethal device placed under a car of one of the golfers here. he was an off duty policeman. the bomb was spotted before it went off. but everyone here has been left in shock. it is worrying, to think that people have come into your own community, you know people like this that are filth really, that are coming here trying to murder somebody. the police described those who targeted the off duty officer as vicious and reckless. they were prepared to put at risk his whole family, anyone in the vicinity, people at the golf club, people in that area.

it is worth remembering that at that golf club yesterday there were families, there were children, there were people out enjoying their saturday afternoon. in the wake of what happened here yesterday, police officers have been advised to step up their personal security. the police federation, which represents rank and file officers in northern ireland, has told them to be extra vigilant. six weeks ago, dissident republicans shot dead a young journalist in londonderry, now they have tried to kill a police officer. among those telling them to stop are sinn fein. they need to get the message that there is nobody supporting them, that they're killing people for killing's sake and they to stop killing people in our society and they need to go away. back at the golf club, the investigation continues, but there is no sign yet of a break through.

this week, commemorations will take place across britain and france to mark the 75th anniversary of the d—day landings, the allied invasion of normandy in 19114 which did much to change the course of the second world war. our special correspondent allan little has been been meeting people who witnessed the battle for normandy. what happened on these beaches change the course of human history, and helped liberate a continent.

this man was 12 years old and kept a diary. he lived near the beach, right in the path of the biggest naval invasion force ever assembled. newsreel: where the weight of battle had fallen heaviest, it was a scene of utter destruction. the battle to take the city of caen lasted weeks. allied bombardment destroyed most of it. 20,000 french civilians would be killed in the three—month battle of normandy. this woman was nine.

she survived an american air raid. her mother and grandmother were killed along with her ten—year—old brother. were so many civilian casualties inevitable? after the war, the question would divide a france that had to live with the humiliation of defeat and occupation by nazi germany. michel pepin was 1a on d—day.

the suggestion outrages colette. she was a 16—year—old member of the resistance. her brother died in a nazi camp. she'll hear no criticism of the allies.

but post—war france would be haunted by this, that the boots that landed on these beaches had come almost entirely from the english—speaking world, and france would have to reconcile itself to the inescapable new reality of american global power. alan little, bbc news, normandy. now it's time for a look at the weather with phil avery. hello. a mix day of weather is drawing to a close, the warmest day of the year thus far for some, 28 celsius, but at the same time others had a fairly cloudy breezy sort of day with showers if not longer spells of rain and will continue in that vein close by to the low centre to the western side of scotland into the wee small hours, plenty of showers. in a fresh field to the night.
