good evening. one of the candidates for the leadership of the conservative party, michael gove, says he "deeply regrets" taking cocaine more than 20 years ago. he told the daily mail it happened at several social events, while he was working as a journalist. mr gove says it was a mistake, but he didn't believe it should disqualify him from becoming prime minister. our political correspondent chris mason reports. if you see yourself as the face of the country's future, you can expect plenty of questions about your own past. i can confirm i will be putting my name forward to be prime minister this country. before mr gove recently to hear in the late 90s at about the time he now admits he cocaine.

will though those who choose our next prime minister, conservative mps and members agree? ultimately this is an admission of illegality but the key question is will it make a difference? times have changed and this isn't the devastating campaign for his campaign that it might once have been but he is in prison very awkward conversations with party members who tend to be very socially conservative on this issue and that will be a drag on his campaign. the flip side of that as it has dragged boris back into the limelight over drugs. you have tried to snorted cocaine? i'm successfully a long time ago. this was boris johnson 14 yea rs time ago. this was boris johnson 14 years ago. i sneezed. a small quantity, it was a long time ago. i think it was probably totally disgusting and ridiculous thing to do and dot—mac three years later he

said it was simply untrue that he had taken cocaine. other candidates have had admissions to make. rory stewart has apologised for smoking opium at a wedding in iran 15 years ago. this afternoon in michael gove does my constituency in surrey people appeared relaxed about their mp's people appeared relaxed about their mp‘s past behaviour. people appeared relaxed about their mp's past behaviour. to me it is not releva nt. mp's past behaviour. to me it is not relevant. i think people are trying to slurjust to bring him down, not really fair to do that. personally i don't think it will have any real impact. remember the race to replace theresa may and move on here by the end of next month hasn't yet formally begun, that happens on monday, so the scrutiny, the awkward questions, the probing of each candidate's past is onlyjust beginning. mr gove candidate's past is onlyjust beginning. mrgove and candidate's past is onlyjust beginning. mr gove and his rivals are now in a breathless battle for the topjob. chris are now in a breathless battle for the top job. chris mason, are now in a breathless battle for the topjob. chris mason, bbc are now in a breathless battle for the top job. chris mason, bbc news. the queen's official birthday has been marked by the annual trooping the colour ceremony.

thanks forjoining us. much more on the cricket world cup later, but first — it's been a busy day of international football. we'll have all the latest from the women's world cup in a few moments, but first — three home nations are in qualifying action today for the 2020 european championship. in group e, ryan giggs‘s wales side have suffered their first defeat of the campaign, losing 2—1 to croatia. craig templeton reports. wales may have won their opening qualifier against slovakia, but the visit to the world cup final in 30—degree heat was an altogether different position. even paris, which should have served as an early warning. long throws are not something gareth bale is usually associated with, but he supplied a great chance that harry wilson needed to take. because when perisic broke free again, his cross

found jamie lawrence, who found the back of his own net. things got worse and the second half when wales were unable to clear, and the impressive perisic went from goal maker to goal—scorer. but david brooks's introduction breathes fire into wales, and his deflected shots gave them hope of a comeback. something that he nearly completed, but to the dismay of the red wall, it wasn't to be. an exhausting effort in the sun, but it was ultimately a losing one. craig templeton, bbc news. northern ireland are playing estonia in their euro 2020 qualifier in tallin, and it's been a thrilling last ten minutes. northern ireland began the game leading group c with two wins out of two but went behind to a first—half free kick from konstantin vasseelev. northern ireland had a better second half and with quarter of a hour to go connor washington made it 1—1.

they weren't finished there though, a few minutes laterjosh mcguiness added another to make 2—1. there's about five minutes left of normal time. scotland play cyprus at hampden park later tonight. that match will be steve clarke's first as scotland manager. they have one win and one defeat so far in group i — that underwhelming start ultimately costing alex mcleish his job. but clarke hopes that his appointment will have the desired impact. just the determination to get three points, and to keep the positive feel that seems to be around the appointment of myself. the group seemed really positive, as well, and i want that to continue for as long as possible. at the women's world cup, six—time world player of the year marta has been ruled out of brazil's opening game on sunday againstjamaica in group c, reportedly with a thigh issue. meanwhile, teenage midfielder

yulia gwinn scored the second—half winner as two—time champions germany kicked off their campaign with a 1—0 win over china. miriam walker—khan was watching the action. the germans are strong starters at the world cup. four years ago, they beat ivory coast 10—0 in their opening game. china are 14 places below them in the world rankings. to be expected, with one of the best players in the world, dzsenifer marozsan. the first half was full of german errors and chinese chances, which they failed to capitalise on. one of them was a sloppy pass, meaning gu yasha could run free. yang li, who she passed to, took her time — something you can't afford to do against the germans. germany dominated the ball but did not much else with it, meaning somehow it was goalless at half—time. but it all picked up in the second half — the deadlock finally broken by dzsenifer marozsan‘s corner turned into a sensational strike

by teenager giulia gwinn. the first goal and the first competitive game by germany's new coach. much to her relief, that one goal was all it took to secure those three crucial points. they survived an onslaught of chinese miss chances with a lifeline from a teenager. mirium—walker khan, bbc news. spain are playing south africa in group b. african player of the year thembi katlana had put the south africans 1—0 up in theirfirst ever world cup finals match, butjenni hermoso has equalised for spain from the penalty spot. she had another penalty, making it to— one spain, with five minutes of normal playing time left.

in less than 24 hours' time england and scotland get their campaigns under way, when they face each other in the opening game of group d in nice. 0ur reporterjane dougall is in the french riviera and has had a close eye on both camps' preparations. ever since england and scotland learned they would be playing against each other, it seems like we've talked about it so much, but there's lots of excitement in the build up to tomorrow night. but we must start with a bit of bad news coming out of the england camp, because at training earlier today, barcelona striker tony duggan came out to train, but she left off with what we are told is a thigh injury. she is a doubt for tomorrow's match. that will be a huge blow for england, she's played so well for them in the past. however on the plus side, jimmy stokes, who had been suffering with a knee injury, did train with the squad dashed demi— strokes. it was just confirmed in the news

conference that both stokes and duggan are having fitness tests in the morning to see whether they will be available for selection tomorrow night or not. there's also been talking about the intensity of tomorrow's match and how difficult it can be to keep focus, especially in the opening match of any tournament. scotland have also been at training today, and shelley care has confirmed that 100%, her squad are completely fit, no injuries from their camp. which is a relief because scotland have suffered from losing key players in the tournament in the past, which has affected them greatly. dealer member last time both england and scotland met was in the euros two years ago when england comprehensively beat scotland 6—0, with scotland missing significant place for that match. but the other news coming out of the scotland champ is that shelley care, the head can't has been awarded an mbe. she said she was flattered by the news, but also asked in her official news

conference if she felt scotland would be the underdogs for tomorrow night match. i think obviously it's our first world cup. first scottish team to play in the world cup in over two decades. 0urjourney so far has been fantastic, and we are playing against a formidable england team. they're ranked up in the world, and pa rt of they're ranked up in the world, and part of the reason why we took the job was to win the world cup. so it'll be a tough task for us, but when we are looking forward to. if the game or you can get caught up in the emotion, notjust in playing your rifles stomach arrivals, but also the first game of any major tournament — that's always the most difficult. there will be lots of trepidation and nervousness and tension in this first game — there always is for every team. i want my players to enjoy themselves. we've worked really hard for 16 months, and everything i say to them is "it

isjust a and everything i say to them is "it is just a game and everything i say to them is "it isjust a game of and everything i say to them is "it is just a game of football". and everything i say to them is "it isjust a game of football". if and everything i say to them is "it is just a game of football". if they tense up or start reading the newspapers or believing some of the hype surrounding them, we will have a banana in our face. hype surrounding them, we will have a banana in ourface. and we hype surrounding them, we will have a banana in our face. and we don't wa nt a banana in our face. and we don't want that. we saw a great crowd for the opening match last night, but how is the atmosphere building in nice with the sets arising? we've seen a few kilts but also some landesk kits as well. people are starting to arrive in nice — there's been an influx today because people are wanting to spend the weekend in nice. and who can blame them? it such a beautiful city. we've seen quite a few of the different sets of fa ns quite a few of the different sets of fans wandering around and enjoying the beauty of the city, as well as the beauty of the city, as well as the heat of the city — 24 celsius is marginally better than it is in britain, certainly better than scotla nd britain, certainly better than scotland right now. there's a

feeling of brits abroad at the moment, but the lovely thing about the women's game is that there's a lot of banter between the fans. we caught up with both sets earlier today, and there was a bit of ribbing going on. that want to win their first match and make a great start. and scotland are perfect for taking. just the chance to come in and see them, and be at the world cup hive and i said that on the way over here, mum and dad came over here in 1998. it's crazy to think that that was the la st crazy to think that that was the last time mum and dad came to something. now we are here in france for the women's team, so it's great to experience it. i'd like it to be a walkover. i think it should be, maybe 3—0 england? i'd like to see some goals. it wasjust unbelievable watching it — it was so emotional because it was a big thing for scotland and women's football. the coverage we re scotland and women's football. the coverage were getting here isjust

incredible, and it'll push everything forward. is there a feeling that with this tournament, regardless of what happens on the pitch, it's changing the profile of the sport? i think the difference between this world cup and previous world cups is the visibility of the players, and whether that be through advertisements or sponsorships — it's clear that a lot of them are becoming far more high profile, which many feel is about time with the women's game. and i would expect that especially following last night's sell—out match at the park to prompts, 48,000 people watch the opening ceremony at france's 4—0 win over south korea. it's starting to grow and grow, and i would expect that after this summer's world cup, many of the players will be household names. it depends on how it goes tomorrow night which players from the scotland camp or the england camp will be household names. all the coverage from the

scotland— england game is live on bbc. thank you very much, jane. england have bounced back from defeat to pakistan in the cricket world cup with a 106 run win over bangladesh in cardiff. after posting their highest ever world cup total of 386—6, jofra archer was on fine form again — he and ben stoke getting three wickets each as the tournament hosts reduced bangladesh to 280 all out. 0ur sports correspodent joe wilson was there. cricket has generally considered bangladesh to be underdogs. they see themselves as a very different animal. tiger! we tigers! they came to cardiff with optimism... bangladesh didn't beat england in the last world cup. but this is new england. recovering from the defeat in their last game, they need to do exactly this. a new partnership.

bangladesh chose to bowl first — it seem bangladesh chose to bowl first — it seem like a good idea at the time. technique from jason roy here — perfect. after the ball across the boundary for six, the technique declined. while fielding isn't easy for those paid to do it, the fumble coming from bangladesh, jason roy was watching the missed field and thinking of celebrating his century. but he wasn't looking at the umpire. all smiles in the end, especially on the england balcony. and eventually from the umpire — that'sjoel wilson. virtually all of england's big shots came off, but bangladesh cosmic captain was under this one. while he needed every clot in his report, bangladesh needed 387 to win — the biggest stretch in their history. and it's hard to bat againstjofra archer. history. and it's hard to bat against jofra archer. which history. and it's hard to bat againstjofra archer. which hassan maintained the chase with 100, one of the best cricketers in the world, not just of the best cricketers in the world, notjust bangladesh. of the best cricketers in the world,

not just bangladesh. 0thers of the best cricketers in the world, notjust bangladesh. 0thers fell — noticejohnny bairstow‘s catches. england have restored that winning feeling. joe wilson, bbc news, cardiff. ashleigh barty has won herfirst grand slam singles title after thrashing teenager marketa vondrousova in the french open final to complete a fairy tale return to the sport. the eighth seed, who quite tennis to play professional cricket ashleigh barty has won herfirst grand slam singles title austin halewood has more. a french open final few would've expected. the women's draw at its unpredictable best. marketa vondrousova was the first teenager into a grand slam finals since 2009, but it was ashleigh barty that sends the opportunity and surged ahead. a commanding lead — the next two games followed the same pattern. vondrousova tried her hardest to go toe—to—toe with the australian, but barty was too controlled and clever, and just too good.

the aussie's power game firing with the first set hers injust 28 minutes. so a fresh start, a chance for the czech to regroup. but in the end, more of the same — because by now, barty had found her touch. the australian found another quick break—up in the second set. when her opportunity came, she took it as emphatically as she took the match. a final that never really got going, but for australia, a first champion in france since 1973. austin halewood, bbc news. in the men's singles, dominic thiem produced a stunning upset over novak djokovic in the semi—finals to end the world number one's hopes of holding all four grand slam titles at once. djokovic was hoping to repeat the feat that he achieved in 2016, but he lost in five sets to the austrian fourth seed. it was a roller—coaster of a fifth set, but it will be thiem who will face rafa nadal in tomorrow's final. qualifying at the canadian grand prix is set to get under way in the next few minutes in montreal.

sebastien vettel led a ferrari one—two after final practise — with world champion lewis hamilton in third. here's our formula one reporterjennie gow. it's qualifying day here in montreal ahead of the canadian grand prix. this is a track where you said that pole position will be crucial, but for hamilton, a mistake in practise meant he lost a lot of practise. could this impact them? it could well do so. mercedes are still strong, you never think they won't be favourites in 2019 going into qualifying. but hamilton hit the wall in second practise. missed a bit of track time, but he's very experienced on the circuit — he won his first race here in 2007, and he's won five more times since. he will be there a route still. for me yesterday, we went to practise — one, the ferraris did not look like they were coming to their game. and all of a sudden in the second session, they were pretty fast. we could have a really decent 4—way battle, maybe even 5—way battle for pole? yeah... you're not thinking?

i think the five—way battle will depend on red bull. he had a slightly messy friday also touching the wall at the wall of champions. so he didn't get a completely clean run, he is an unknown quality. but ferrari, definitely. i still think mercedes will go in as the favourite, but i don't think anyone is surprised that ferrari are better in the circuit. it's a track that better suits them with shorter corners and longer straits — perfect for the ferrari car, meaning we will have an interesting battle. not long to go until the qualifying goes under way. should be dramatic, canada could throw some twists and turns along the way. all eyes will be on the man who gets pole position. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more for you at 7:30pm. today has been a bit of a circus across the country with some fairly heavy winds and blustery winds. that wet weather will only slow the heat overnight as our area of low

pressure spends its way toward scandinavia, leaving a few showers across the northwest. but otherwise it becomes dry with winds coming down significantly overnight. that ta kes down significantly overnight. that takes it into sunday, and for most areas, it's a decent start to the day. quite cloudy for northern scotland, but the rest of the uk having morning sunshine. sunday is a day of sunshine and showers. tending to form along the convergence lines, these zones will most likely see damp water to the afternoon. aside from that in thejune sometime the lack of sunshine, feeling significant and warmer than it has today. temperatures 16—20dc. but then into monday and tuesday, we will see a potent weather front that for some could bring about a month's worth of rain. so it's worth staying in with some flooding over the next week in the east. that's your weather.
