10:00 pm
hello and welcome to sportsday. i'm gavin ramjaun. sweden are into the women's world cup quarter finals after a hard fought victory over canada. we'll be in paris for the latest. tonight at ten — after accusations fans' fury as rafa benitez bids of cowardice for avoiding media scrutiny borisjohnson speaks farewell to newcastle and prepares to swap exclusively to the bbc. the north east for the far east. the frontrunner to be the next conservative leader and prime minister insisted and england prepare to face he could deliver brexit the cricket world champions by the 31st october deadline. australia tomorrow, but without openerjason roy. we hearfrom both captains. politics has changed so much since march the 29th. people on both sides of the channel, there is a really different understanding. today this picture was given to a newspaper of mrjohnson with his partner — he refused to address previous reports of screaming and shouting welcome to the programme. at the flat they share. sweden edged a cagey encounter with canada i've made it a rule over many, to become the latest team many years and i think you've to seal their place interviewed me loads of times, in the last i do not talk about stuff eight of the women's world cup. involving my family, my loved ones. sweden are into the womens world cup quarterfinals — after a hard fought victory over canada.
10:01 pm
but borisjohnson could be in number we'll be in paris for the latest. ten within weeks. but does he have when the swedes took credible answers to the country's the lead, and held out — with drama in the closing stages. fundamental questions? let's head to paris now, also on tonight's programme: and speak to sarah mulkerrins. sarah, sweden are through — president trump orders fresh sanctions against iran, but they did it by the skin and specifically targets of their teeth, how did the country's supreme leader. the terrifying moment a man the match unfold? is pushed onto the tube tracks — honestly, i think we did. no one his attacker is jailed for life. could call this game beforehand and how the eastern black rhino is returning to rwanda, because these teams are so closely decades after being wiped out there. matched. they have very good, solid and coming up on sportsday on bbc news — the usa defences and struggle to really are into the quarterfinals of the women's world cup penetrate to finish their chances. that's how the first—half was but the tournament favourites were given a scare by spain. playing out, it was goalless at the action on the way. break, very little opportunity for either one of them. in the second half we finally had breakthrough. a lovely ball through. she finished it off brilliantly to put sweden 1—0 up, finally breaking the deadlock. hgppy up, finally breaking the deadlock. happy that that had happened but good evening. then canada could have got back into
10:02 pm
after facing days of criticism it. they were given a penalty, yet for avoiding media scrutiny — boris johnson, who's running againstjeremy hunt to be the next another incident of virus. canada prime minister and tory leader — has spoken exclusively to the bbc. he says he would ensure we re another incident of virus. canada were given eight penalty seemingly a plan to deliver brexit able to get back into it. janine by the end of october — declaring the political landscape both in the uk stepped up to get penalty and then and the eu has changed. but, mrjohnson admitted he would need eu cooperation in the swedish girl they pulled off to prevent both a hard border a magnificent save to keep that shot in ireland, and tariffs out and to keep sweden 1—0 ahead. on british business if there were no deal with the eu. asked about the widely reported some? casty why christine sinclair, incident in the early hours the candle a captain, didn't take of friday morning at the flat that penalty. —— some questions as he shares with his partner — to why she didn't take the penalty. borisjohnson said it was simply not fair to talk about his family and loved ones. she is the usual penalty taker. he's been interviewed by our sweden did have a chance later on, a penalty shout that was wheeled out. political editor laura kuenssberg for a previous offside infringement downing street is the threshold he on their way into that. and then there was a late bit of drama in the really wa nts downing street is the threshold he really wants to cross. but boris johnson has been uncharacteristically shy about stadium, a free kick right at the explaining why. but after years of end that canada had. keep up, but it building ambition, can he now explained to you what he would
10:03 pm
was all to no avail. sweden through to the next round where they will actually do as prime minister? boris face germany and four years ago johnson, what would you do on day germany knocked sweden out of the one in number ten to make sure we world cup and then, three years ago, leave the eu at halloween?” at the olympics, they won the one in number ten to make sure we leave the eu at halloween? i would make sure we have a plan that will olympic final. germany gold, sweden silver. there is a little bit of convince our european friends and history partners that we are absolutely serious about coming out. the key things you have got to do are to ta ke things you have got to do are to take the bits of the current withdrawal agreement which is dead, ta ke withdrawal agreement which is dead, take the bits that are serviceable and get them done. the important thing is there should be an agreement the solution of the border questions, the irish border questions, the irish border questions, all those issues need to be tackled on the other side of october the 31st, during what's called the implementation period. the implementation period is part of the withdrawal agreement and you said you wouldn't sign up to the withdrawal agreement and it's dead, they can't be true? no, you are
10:04 pm
going to need some kind of agreement and that is certainly what i am aiming for, in order, as you rightly say, to get an implementation period. i think, say, to get an implementation period. ithink, politics has changed so much since march the 29th. i think on both sides of the channel, there is a different understanding of what is needed. whether it is jean—claude juncker, president macron, any eu leader have been crystal clear that there is no kind of deal without the backstop, an insurance policy for northern ireland, so what evidence do you have you can get around that? no one wa nts a have you can get around that? no one wants a hard border in northern ireland and indeed, nobody believes it necessary. if you are to be prime minister you have to tell people how? in italy, there are abundant technical fixes that can be introduced to make sure that you don't have to have cheques at the border. you are right, laura, there
10:05 pm
is no single, magic bullet but there is no single, magic bullet but there isa is no single, magic bullet but there is a wealth of experience, a wealth of solutions and watch change now is there is a real positive energy about getting it done. if you cannot get the agreement, it sounds like you are crossing your fingers, you are clear, you would take us out at halloween without a deal? an absolute guarantee? of course, my pledge is to come out of the eu on the 31st of october. you have got to understand, laura. that is not where i want us to end up. it is not where i believe for a moment we will end up. but in order to get the result we want, the sensible thing to do is to prepare for a wto exit. would you be willing as prime minister to face the consequences of a new deal which could mean crippling tariffs on some businesses, uncertainty and the
10:06 pm
irish border, uncertainty for livelihoods and people's real lives. in the real world, i know you dispute about how bad it will be, but are you willing to face the consequences of what a no deal might mean for the people of this country? in the real world, the uk government is never going to impose checks or a ha rd is never going to impose checks or a hard border of any kind in northern ireland. in the real world, hard border of any kind in northern ireland. in the realworld, uk government is not going to impose ta riffs government is not going to impose tariffs on goods coming into the uk... it's notjust up to the uk. of course, it's up to the other side as well. where he goes, controversy often follows. these love the pictures of mrjohnson with his partner, the far cry from the police at his home a few nights ago. can you tell us what happened to at your
10:07 pm
home a few nights ago?” you tell us what happened to at your home a few nights ago? i have made a rule over many, many years i do not talk about stuff involving my family, my loved ones. there is a very good reason for that and that is, if you do, you drag them into things that is not fair on them. is, if you do, you drag them into things the privacy fair on them. is, if you do, you drag them into things the privacy mean them. is, if you do, you drag them into things the privacy mean more. is, if you do, you drag them into things the privacy mean more to does your privacy mean more to you than the public‘s ability to trust you? part of trust is being open, accountable and transparent?” you? part of trust is being open, accountable and transparent? i get that, i totally get that but my key point is the minute you stop talking about your family or your loved ones, you involve them in a debate thatis ones, you involve them in a debate that is simply unfair on them. you seem to care about your privacy so much that yesterday a photographer oi’ much that yesterday a photographer or someone much that yesterday a photographer or someone with a phone just happened to stumble upon you in the middle of the sussex countryside, aren't you trying to have this both ways ? aren't you trying to have this both ways? i don't go into this stuff. there is a good reason for it, people want to know, what is going on with this guy? when it comes to
10:08 pm
trust, does he deliver? there are plenty of people, even in the conservative party who worry you do not stick to what you promise? they are talking absolute nonsense. why do so many conservatives worry about you sticking to your word or being careless with the truth. you said a few weeks ago you would raise tax for the rich and even lie down in front of bulldozers at heathrow and then when it came to gary radcliffe's i've come you put her in danger by being careless with the fa cts , danger by being careless with the facts, are you sometimes careless with the truth? nazir nene said gary radcliffe, people will want to point the finger of blame at me if they can but that just serves to
10:09 pm
exculpate, lift the blame of the people responsible. people are worried you are a bit scrappy with the truth or sometimes you seem to enjoy offending people.” the truth or sometimes you seem to enjoy offending people. i don't enjoy offending people. i don't enjoy offending people. do you think it would be acceptable for a prime minister to say muslim women in full veil look like bank robbers, if you move into number ten, will you change? what i pledge to you, the people of this country want to hear, i will be a politician who sticks by what he believes in. occasionally i may say things that cause offence andi may say things that cause offence and i am sorry for the offence i cause. but i will continue to speak my mind because i think people deserve to hear what is going on in my head. but be in no doubt, at heart, iam my head. but be in no doubt, at heart, i am a centre—right, progressive, modern conservative. i will govern from the centre right
10:10 pm
because, from the centre because thatis because, from the centre because that is where you went, that is where the broad, mass of the people in this country are. boris johnson's chance at number ten is real and closer now. but it may still slip from his grasp. we can talk to laura now, you got this rare interview with mrjohnson, what did you take from it? we learnt a lot about what he would like to do about brexit but emphasis on the like. he was clear he would not try and resuscitate theresa may's deal, but he would use some of the elements and some of the discussions that have been had over the last three years in order to move his plans forward. for example, he would pass a law immediately, he says, to protect eu citizens living here in the uk. at the controversial gamble he is putting forward, is to say he could do a new deal, new trade deal, the bones of that with eu leaders before the end of october in just three months. and he says he would
10:11 pm
be able to do that before resolving the most controversial conundrum of all, how you fix the dilemma over the irish border. he clearly believes, in his view, he has the political skill to pull that off. and that is he and what his supporters would say is a plan. but it isa supporters would say is a plan. but it is a plan full of ifs and buts, either heroic or foolhardy assumptions to imagine that eu leaders and parliament would be ready to back his vision of that and back it by halloween, on an extremely tight deadline when political pressure is on, notjust to get this done quickly, but to do it in to get this done quickly, but to do itina to get this done quickly, but to do it in a way that does not harm our relationships with the rest of the world or harm the livelihoods and lives of people living here in this country. in terms of the last few days, controversy over his personal life, it is absolutely clear, that even now he is seemingly on the threshold of number ten, boris johnson thinks there are questions
10:12 pm
he simply does not have to answer. and for politician, for whom many people have their doubts about his character, that is something i think it's still going to follow him around unless, or until, he is willing to give more. but there may be conservative members and members of our audience tonight, listening to him talking about defending what happens behind closed doors, and thatis happens behind closed doors, and that is the right approach to take, even for some people there is no question he needs to be more open about exactly has been going on. laura, many thanks. president trump is imposing new sanctions on iran, saying the hard—hitting measures will target the country's supreme leader ali khameni and his associates. mr trump said the additional sanctions were in response to the shooting down of a us drone and, in his words, "many other things". tensions between the two countries have escalated in recent weeks. here's our north america editorjon sopel.
10:13 pm
this is the president hoping to prove that the stubby marker pen is mightier than the surface to air missile. having backed out of taking retaliatory military action after the downing last week of a us drone, donald trump unveiled a package of measures to target iran's supreme leader, tying up billions of dollars in assets. these measures represent a strong and proportionate response to iran's increasingly provocative actions. we will continue to increase pressure on tehran. never can iran have a nuclear weapon. he said this was in response to attacks on a number of tankers in the strait of hormuz as well as that drone. the president is at pains to insist that he's not seeking confrontation with iran and looks forward to a time when there can be talks, but he's demanding a change of behaviour. tehran must give up its nuclear ambitions and stop sponsoring terrorism the region. sanctions were imposed on iran over fears it was using its nuclear
10:14 pm
programme to make weapons, targeting core parts of the economy like oil, exports, banks and shipping. in 2015, iran agreed a deal with the us and the uk and four others to limit its nuclear activities in return for sanctions relief. iran could trade in oil again and use the global financial system. then, last year, president trump announced he was pulling out of the deal, bringing back all the sanctions against iran and the countries who trade with it. iran's ambassador to the united nations is dismissive. the us decision today to impose more sanctions against iran is yet another indication of continued us hostility against the iranian people and their leaders and that the us has no respect for international law and order as well as the views of the overwhelming majority of the international community. there's no doubt that sanctions are hurting the economy, hurting shoppers, right across the country.
10:15 pm
but there's no evidence yet that the trump policy of maximum pressure is bringing the country's rulers to their knees. jon sopel, bbc news, washington. at the inquest into the london bridge attack, the man who owned the gym used by all three killers has been asked to hand over his phone to be examined. sajeel shahid denies he knew that the men were plotting the carnage. he ran a fitness centre in east london — where the ringleader khuram butt worked. from the old bailey, here's our correspondent richard lister. just after midnight, a week before the carnage on london bridge and borough market, the three attackers are outside the ummah fitness centre in east london. it's a place they know well. khuram butt, the ringleader, worked in the ummah fitness centre for months, and all three are thought to have trained there. but the owner of this gym, sajeel shahid, repeatedly refused to be interviewed by police in the aftermath of the attacks, despite the fact that he had another
10:16 pm
connection to butt as well. mr shahid founded this islamic school nearby, where butt taught the koran to children aged between three and seven. and analysis of the attackers‘ phones showed dozens of calls and hundreds of texts between butt and mr shahid. today in court, though, he gave his side of the story. dominic adamson represents one of the bereaved families and said... mr shahid, whose face we can't show for legal reasons, said... mr shahid said that his colleagues at the gym also used his phone, and any communications
10:17 pm
with butt on it would have been about his work there. he was asked whether he'd hand it over to police for examination, but so far he has declined. police say they found no other links between mr shahid and the attackers after the carnage two years ago, and in court today he condemned it, saying if he'd known what they were up to, he'd have called the police. the number of cases being investigated in a review of maternity services at shrewsbury and telford nhs trust has more than doubled to almost 600. the new cases are understood to include still births, and the deaths of babies whose mothers are in the final stages of labour. michael buchanan is at one of the trust's hospitals, the princess royal in telford. where did these new cases come from? these came out after one of the
10:18 pm
regulators, nhs improvement, told the trust to hand over all the incidents in maternity services baking back —— dating back to 1998. it is undoubtedly the case that not all of these incidents will contain avoidable errors but it is also highly likely to be the case that mothers and babies died or suffered unnecessary harm because of mistakes in maternity care here. remember, that figure is on top of the more than 250 families who have already come forward to an independent investigation with questions over the care they received in maternity services. tonight nhs england said they weren't sure how these new cases would be investigated, that —— whether they would form part of the new review are not. michael, thank you. a man who pushed a 90—year—old pensioner onto the tracks at marble arch tube station in london has beenjailed for life with a minimum of 12 years.
10:19 pm
paul crossley, who is a paranoid schizophrenic, had also tried to murder another passenger at tottenham court road station on the same day in april last year. both terrifying attacks were caught on cctv. leigh milner‘s report contains images some viewers may find distressing from the start. this is the moment paul crossley pushes sir robert malpas onto the tracks at marble arch station. with just one minute until the next train, he's rescued by a bystander who leaps from the platform to save him. the 91—year—old former eurotunnel boss survived but arriving at court today, the severity of the injuries sir robert suffered — a fractured pelvis and a head wound — were evident. it has been a long and traumatic process for the two victims, and i would like to commend them for their strength and resilience throughout. the physical and emotional impact of such a determined and unprovoked attack cannot be underestimated. earlier that day, crossley tried to push another passenger, tobias french, onto the tracks.
10:20 pm
with the train only metres away, mr french fortunately manages to keep his balance. paul crossley was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia when he was 17—years—old. the day before he pushed sir robert malpas onto the tracks at marble arch station, crossley had taken £600 worth of crack cocaine. he also admitted in court that he hadn't taken his prescription medication. passing the sentence, the judge said it was terrifying to watch. he will now be detained in hospital before he's sent to prison for a minimum of 12 years. leigh milner, bbc news. the head of global affairs at facebook, sir nick clegg, has said the company has set up an independent oversight board to rule on which material should be removed from the platform. the former deputy prime minister said there was a "pressing need" for greater regulation of the technology sector. he also insisted there was "no evidence" that russia had influenced the brexit result using facebook. our media editor amol
10:21 pm
rajan has this report. what kind of internet do you want? do you want the one most of us experience today — a largely californian world dominated by a few tech giants? or maybe you prefer the more authoritarian approach of china, which has its own tech giants? facebook and sir nick clegg are betting that the next and best internet is more regulated and more european. this morning, he strongly refuted claims that as with america's presidential election, facebook was abused by foreign actors during the brexit referendum campaign. we have found no evidence of a significant attempt by outside forces. there's a lot of weight in that word, "significant". of course, facebook themselves don't always know about whose advertising on their platform. the most striking claim today from clegg is that facebook actively seeks regulation in areas such as privacy, election advertising and hate speech. i don't actually think it's right for private companies to set
10:22 pm
the rules of the road for something which is as profoundly important as how technology serves society. and in the end, this is not something that big tech companies from the united states or elsewhere, can or should do on their own. sceptics will argue facebook is trying to pre—empt global regulation before its political enemies demand it is broken up. and while the idea of an oversight board is intriguing, it's not at all clear how it will deal with a potentially vast number of complaints or maintain its independence. the former lib dem leader said the company has substantially reduced the number of pictures of self harm on instagram, one of the platforms it owns following the death of 14—year—old molly russell. her father ian said his daughter took her life after exposure to such pictures. the talk today was of a tech—lash, a backlash against california tech giants which facebook says has gone too far. others think it hasn't gone far enough. let us not become complacent. this is not over yet.
10:23 pm
we have a lot of work to do as citizens, as human beings and as democratic societies, to harness and outlaw the idea that our private experience can be the free, raw material for a new kind of capitalism that is all about us, but is not for us. with almost half of humanity not yet online, facebook and sir nick want to shape the future of the internet before china does. amol rajan, bbc news. the eastern black rhino was wiped out in rwanda, but after a successful conservation and breeding programme in zoos across europe, today five rhinos were reintroduced into the country. it's the largest ever transportation of the critically endangered animal from europe. but the ongoing threat of poaching for rhino horn means they will need special protection. victoria gill followed them on theirjourney. not your usual feeding time.
10:24 pm
he loves apples. this is rhino flight training. don't get afraid, ok? with comforting words and lots of apples, the keepers here at this czech zoo are training rhinos to stand calmly in a confined space. it's something they'll need to do for hours on their upcoming flight to rwanda. five young rhinos, all born in european zoos, have been selected to be transported and released into the wild. they're all the descendants of animals that were taken decades ago from africa. we have to do everything we can now to pay back what we did in the past, and one of the ways we can do it is to get involved in the conservation projects like locating of rhinos from european zoos back to rwanda and helping establishing a new population in this african country. these are critically endangered eastern black rhinos, brought together here from three
10:25 pm
different zoos in preparation for their 6,000 kilometre journey. they are looking pretty content, munching on their breakfast. these are three of the five animals that are going to be taken to rwanda for the reintroduction, from all over europe. they represent the countries that all of these animals come from. from denmark, the uk, and the czech republic. in the early hours of this morning, the flight they've been preparing for finally arrived at kigali international airport. once unloaded, this most precious of cargo is transferred to trucks for the final stage of the journey. this is theirfinal destination and their first footsteps onto african soil. the rhinos will stay in these specially—built areas for several months while the team checks they're settled, healthy and ready for life beyond the fences. you see these animals having arrived safely.
10:26 pm
how does that make you feel? very, very happy and ifeel that they are a survivor, they arrive in rwanda safely. it shows me a future of 100 rhinos, so for me conservation is notjust for the sake of conserving but i see it as a way of improving our life today and in the future. while this is the end of a very long journey, it's just the beginning of what will hopefully be a long life in the wild. victoria gill, bbc news, akagera national park, rwanda. that is all from me. tomorrow we will bring you an interview with jeremy hunt, but now on bbc one it 00:26:50,901 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 is time for the news where you are.
