this is bbc news. welcome, if you are watching here in the uk or around the globe. i'm reged ahmad. our top stories: a landslide victory for greece's centre—right opposition spells the end for the socialists and ushers in a new era. we want to drive a real reform agenda for the country, that is ambitious, very bold and very, very detailed. president trump reacts to the british ambassador‘s cable leaks which labelled his administration inept, saying the diplomat hasn't served the uk well. and jubilation for team usa, winners of the women's football world cup for a record fourth time.

greece's leftist prime minister, alexis tsipras, has conceded defeat in the country's snap general election. with the results still coming in, the centre—right opposition party new democracy has won, with current projections showing it is closing in on an absolute majority. mr tsipras‘s syriza party seems to have paid the price forfailing to oppose austerity measures imposed by the eu in return for financial bailouts. our correspondent mark lowen reports from athens. a victory cry for a change of guard — greece's centre—right new democracy cheering its new era, winning an outright majority and ousting alexis tsipras. its leader has refreshed a party once seen as the corrupt establishment.

and, as the populist, left—wing tsipras broke promises to end austerity, greece has returned to the political mainstream. well, first of all, i asked for a strong mandate to change the country, and the greek people delivered. i'm very, very grateful for the result. we won an outright majority, which was our main target. alexis tsipras put on a brave face as he voted earlier, but it was almost a eulogy. he lost many supporters after his humiliating u—turn from 2015, when he pledged to rip up the bailout and budget cuts, but instead accepted a third rescue programme, in return for more austerity, becoming the brussels establishment he had fought against. the rhetoric has been relentlessly anti—european, and misleading in many ways. so i'm very, very happy. this is a victory for pro—european political forces. this country doesn't need celebrations for a party that wins an election. this country needs jobs.

this country needs investment. the worst peacetime recession of any developed country shrank greece's economy by a quarter. protests consumed athens, 500,000 left the country, and unemployment hit 28%. as tsipras defied the eu, it threatened to eject greece from the euro and sink the banks. he was forced back. before brexit, there was talk of grexit — greece's departure from the eurozone. it didn't happen as alexis tsipras, who vowed to stand up to the eu, was defeated, perhaps an omen for another eu member now trying to defy brussels, and a sign that, after a populist wave, the political cycle can swing back to the establishment. greece now looks to its post—bailout, post—tsipras future, as growth returns and the glimmer of a recovery grows. greece has, it seems, turned a corner and left

its populist era behind. mark lowen, bbc news, athens. here in the uk, the foreign office has begun an investigation into who leaked e—mails from britain's ambassador to washington which described the trump administration as being inept and uniquely dysfunctional. president trump has since reacted, saying the ambassador hasn't served the uk well. in the memos obtained by the mail on sunday, sir kim darroch says, despite his shortcomings, president trump shouldn't be written off. here is our washington correspondent nick bryant. "inept, insecure, incompetent. " in secret e—mails obtained by the mail on sunday, britain's top diplomat in washington, sir kim darroch, used the most undiplomatic of language to describe the chaos of the trump white house and the personality flaws of the president himself. he spoke of donald trump radiating insecurity, and delivered a withering assessment of an administration that was uniquely dysfunctional.

in one of the messages, sir kim wrote: on his recent state visit to britain, donald trump had been dazzled by the queen, but sir kim predicted self—interest would continue to determine uk—us relations. "this is still the land of america—first," he wrote. 0n the escalation of tensions with iran, he said it was unlikely that us policy was going to become more coherent anytime soon, and that mr trump did not want to reverse his campaign promise to avoid american involvement in foreign conflicts. the foreign office has now launched an inquiry into the leak. it's obviously very disappointing that this correspondence has come out into the open, but it's also important to say that it's the job of ambassadors to give frank, personal opinions about what's

happening in the countries they serve, and those are just that, personal opinions. it's not the opinions of the british government. the president is notoriously thin—skinned. britain has gone to great lengths since he became president to massage his ego. and speaking in the last few minutes, he has clearly ta ken offence. the ambassador has not served the uk well, i can tell you that. we're not big fans of that man, and he has not served the uk well. so i can understand it, and i can say things about him, but i won't bother. with the brexit deadline looming, downing street has been especially sensitive about preserving and protecting a special relationship which, in the trump era, hasn't always been that special. the leak of these secret embassy e—mails won't help. nick bryant, bbc news, washington. bruce heyman was us ambassador to canada during the 0bama administration, and is also the bestselling author of the memoir the art of diplomacy. he told me these types

of leaks aren't normal. it's unusual, it's unfortunate, it's not unique, though. wikileaks had leaked messages from a number of ambassadors. this is the job of the ambassador. the ambassador needs to give his own personal, accurate, honest assessment of the country, and the leadership of the country that he's serving in, and i think that's what he did here. what does it say about the person or persons who leaked this, given they would have known what is at stake, and knowing donald trump's propensity to potentially retaliate? well, that's what's unfortunate about this. ambassadors need to have a channel of communication back to the government to give these assessments. and we all know that cellphones are now tapped, and e—mails are leaked. the cable method has been a method for ambassadors around the world

to have private communications back to their home country. and if this is injeopardy, then, you know, other ambassadors may be more reluctant going forward, not just uk ambassadors and high commissioners, but others around the world might be more reluctant to be as honest going forward. having worked in a diplomatic capacity for the united states government, what do you imagine is happening in the uk government and the foreign office at the moment? would they be panicking and looking for who has done it, or trying to limit damage? i think that there's probably multiple lines of work being done. first of all, they'd like to understand how this got out, and make sure it doesn't happen again with future communications. i think, secondly, there's got to be an assessment as to what the impact would be on the us—uk relationship as a result of this.

and i think those are the two lines of which which work is probably being done, and if necessary, other communications to ameliorate any damage that might‘ve been done with the president himself and his sore feelings as a result of this. that might have to take place. but i think this is the work of an ambassador, and you shouldn't shoot the messenger here. the president himself has done more damage to our allies around the world, and i think that this is just a picture, an assessment of something that i think many people know is accurate. i think the shocking part is that we just got to take a peek behind the curtain a bit to see what the ambassador is saying. well, the uk government has said they think this is the personal opinion of the ambassador, rather than the government's opinion. but going forward, sir kim darroch, the ambassador, is his position tenable? can he keep doing hisjob? well, i think it might change

in terms of his relationship, clearly, with the white house. but i think also there are lots of other lanes which ambassadors work in. and we all sit and just think it's just heads of state and ambassadors, but in reality, there are multiple layers of government that we both have. and i think the ambassador, i think, will still be very effective in hisjob going forward. i think in this regard i don't think many americans are going to be surprised by the content. if anything, americans should take note that the damage the president is doing internationally is significant with our allies, and we saw it close by with canada, and threats of tariffs on the basis of national security, and we see language and behaviour that the president has with our allies around the world, threatening personal relationships, et cetera. so i think that this is a wake—up call for america,

to see the damage he's doing internationally. i wonder what you think is happening in the white house. how will they react, especially to the future of the us—uk relationship? the white house has generally been, under this president, fairly dysfunctional, and he has lost a lot of key staff either through indictments or resignations. it's all about tactics and dealing with the president's idiosyncrasies and emotions. my guess is a number of people from the state department are in scramble mode about whatever the president is saying today. we shouldn't underestimate that, because the president still has the authority and the power of the presidency, and his emotions have impact. i think you guys have mentioned it on your broadcast earlier — he is quite thin—skinned. so he doesn't seem to be taking this well, and probably won't for a little bit of time. it is three months since a far—right gunman killed more than 50 people at mosques in christchurch in new zealand.

bbc news has now uncovered evidence of his international links, and the growing online network which members of the far—right use to organise themselves, largely unobserved by the security services. from vienna, our security correspondent gordon corera reports. he tweeted images of the weapons he was going to use. he posted his plans in an online forum, and switched on a facebook livestream for people to watch as he began. the christchurch attack was foreshadowed online, but it was missed by the security forces. brenton tarrant was allegedly acting alone. but he was connected to an international ideology, one which inhabits the darker reaches of the internet, a place the authorities, we've discovered, have not been watching. tarrant has appeared in court and has denied the charges. he lived much of his life online, but he also travelled to dozens

of countries, particularly in europe. one of the places brenton tarrant came to was austria, and his extensive travel and his online activity shows just how international and interconnected the far—right has become. he also made a significant financial donation to one of the leading figures in the new far—right here in vienna. martin sellner is a far—right activist who claims white europeans are at risk of what he calls "replacement". that, too, was brenton tarrant‘s belief. sellner insists he does not support violence, but he's unapologetic about receiving support from someone who killed. i don't think that this donation means that i in any way share his ideology, and i don't even think that it means that he shared our ideology or supported... but he clearly did, if he supported you. that's the question. sellner uses social media to spread his message. that's where brenton tarra nt encountered him. the alternative media is basically our liberation,

and i think it's completely turned the table around, because finally there was a freedom of the market of information. the far—right exploits the freedoms of the internet to recruit and plan. people may first encounter extreme material on mainstream sites like youtube or instagram. extremists communicate over computer gaming platforms like discord, which says it removes content reported to it. the far—right co—ordinates on encrypted messaging platforms like telegram, also used by jihadists. and it uses free—speech sites like gab and 8chan, where brenton tarrant posted his plans. in london, i meet another young austrian who spent the last three years infiltrating the far—right, meeting sellner, but also going undercover online, where she has had to pass tests to be allowed in. the really extreme ones would even ask for things like background

checks, but also genetic ancestry materials that you would have to share, or even things like i've been asked to, for example, share a picture of my wrist to prove that i'm white. she has seen growing calls for violence, but says the authorities have not been watching. though some of these platforms have just remained, imean, unregulated, but also in some of the cases unobserved. on a daily basis, we're seeing several calls for violence across — across the world. three months on from christchurch, security services and tech companies have been scrambling to react, and one intelligence source told me the threat was far wider and deeper than previously understood. gordon corera, bbc news. stay with us on bbc news. still to come: dangerous for people, deadly for bulls. adrenalin and anger at spain's annual san fermin festival. central london has been rocked

by a series of terrorist attacks. police say there have been many casualties, and there is growing speculation that al-qaeda was responsible. germany will be the hosts of the 2006 football world cup, and they pipped the favourites, south africa, by a single vote. in south africa, the possibility of losing hadn't even been contemplated, and celebration parties were cancelled. the man entered the palace through a downstairs window and made his way to the queen's private bedroom. then he asked her for a cigarette, and on the pretext of arranging for some to be brought, she summoned a footman on duty, who took the man away. one child, one teacher, one book and one pen can change the world. education is the only solution.

applause this is bbc world news, the latest headlines: a change in direction for greece, as the centre—right opposition wins a snap general election. president trump has reacted to the british ambassador‘s cable leaks which labelled his team inept, saying he hasn't served the uk well. protesters have again clashed with police in hong kong at the end of another day of mass demonstrations against the government's plan to legalise the extradition of people to china. this time they gathered near the kowloon railway station, where high—speed trains depart for the chinese mainland, to spread their message to chinese tourists who come to the area to shop. rupert wingfield—hayes reports. chanting. it is now nearly a month since the huge anti—government protests in hong kong began. there is no sign of them slowing down. today, another 100,000 or more took to the streets here.

this time in a different place, with a different audience. all of the previous huge protests that have happened here in recent weeks have been on hong kong island. but today, they've come over to kowloon, and there's a very clear reason for this, it's because in the shopping malls and in hotels here in the streets here, this is where all of the tourists from mainland china come to, and it's them they want to hear this message. amid the crowd, two of hong kong's most prominent democracy campaigners, who have already spent time in jail for leading previous protests. the message is very clear that we're having a massive rally fighting for our freedom and also fighting for our rights to protect hong kong. so i think it's important for the mainland people to know that. we hope to let those visitors from mainland to hong kong to realise the message of hong kongers. we hope to let you know that we support hong kong and china democratisation and it's time

to fight for our freedom. mainland chinese tourists looked on, many of them videoing. at one point, the protesters started chanting, come and join us, come and join us! across the border, hong kong's protests have been depicted as violent and backed by so—called ‘foreign forces'. so what have these mainland tourists heard? translation: we'd heard about it, but not much detail. so when i arrived to here and saw this, i was really surprised. translation: as long as they don't destroy government property and aren't hurting people, i think this is fine. it is a clear news of these protests is making it across the border into mainland china, and notjust the communist government's version of what is going on here. as night fell, the vast majority of protesters drifted home, but a hard core of militant protesters began blocking roads and causing disruption.

finally, the police had had enough. for the past few hours, a group of about 1,000 protesters have been blocking one of the main roads here, nathan road, and now the police have declared it an illegal gathering, they've moved in in full riot gear and they are driving the protesters out. the game of cat and mouse continues with no clear idea of how these protests might end. rupert wingfield—hayes, bbc news, in hong kong. let's get some of the day's other news. a decree signed by the russian president, vladimir putin, has come into effect suspending all direct flights between russia and georgia, in response to anti—russian protests last month in the georgian capital, tblisi. the protesters tried to storm the georgian parliament where a visiting russian lawmaker had been allowed to address mps. malta has said that all 65 migrants on board a german—flagged rescue ship will be allowed

onto the island. the vessel, alan kurdi, arrived off malta's coast after it was denied access to italian ports. the maltese prime minister said that following discussions with the european commission all of the rescued migrants would be brought ashore and relocated to other eu member states. venezuela's opposition has agreed to resume talks with delegates representing president nicolas maduro. the meeting will be held in barbados but a date has not been announced. the talks will be mediated by norway, which facilitated the last attempt to break the political deadlock in may. reports from the united states say the billionaire financier, jeffrey epstein, has been arrested over new allegations of sex trafficking. the claims are said to date from 2002 to 2005. the hedge fund manager, who once counted bill clinton, donald trump and prince andrew among his friends, is expected to appear in court tomorrow and to plead not guilty.

three people were gored at the annual san fermin festival in pamplona in spain. two others were taken to hospital with head injuries. and nearly 50 more were treated by the red cross. animal rights activists were also on the streets demonstrating. 0ur reporter gareth barlow has more. it's one of spain's most iconic events, thousands of people from around the world gathering to test their mettle against the might of the bulls. translation: it's a sensation of adrenaline. the world stops. there's you, the bull, and the people running around you. it's crazy, it's crazy. it's exhilarating. you're excited, you can hear the crowd moving, and all of a sudden they're running at you, and it's like, argh! with horns, hooves and hundreds of kilos of hide careering down the streets, it is dangerous and sometimes deadly for those taking part. but, as campaigners were keen to highlight, the event is far more

deadly for the cattle, which face professional bullfighters after the run. translation: i can't even see it. i can't watch tv, ijust can't. it seems to me that it is a brutal cruelty, something that shouldn't exist. it's something unworthy of human beings, of the century in which we live. it's totally inhuman. it is notjust the violence against animals that have caused outrage. three years ago, the festival was mired by a high—profile gang rape which led to nationwide protests. following numerous reports of sexual abuse, the festival organisers have increased protection of women. the bull runs continue until next weekend. until then, the danger for everyone involved is farfrom over. the usa have been crowned winners of the women's football world cup. they defeated netherlands by two goals to nil. their victory was largely down to megan rapinoe, who won the golden boot with 6 goals and also the golden ball as best player. 0ur correspondent sarah

"it awful lot of questions on the pitch. ——it was their second tournament of asking for the dutch but it was seen out by megan rapinoe. she has been an vocal advocate of this team on

much more coming up. you can reach me on twitter — i'm @regedahmadbbc. hello. well, after a fine end to the weekend, the forecast for monday is looking pretty decent across most of the uk. a lot of sunshine in the forecast. however, the week ahead is going to be quite changeable. i think many of us at one point or another will get at least a little bit of rainfall. now, here's the latest satellite picture, and clouds are gathering just to the north—west of the uk, in fact, streaming in into ireland right now, so that means that the skies will be pretty hazy across some western parts of the uk. and the high pressure is moving away and giving way to these weather fronts here in the atlantic. but the high pressure will be back later on, once these weather fronts push through. so the forecast on monday morning, then — a lot of hazy weather there first thing across many western parts of the uk, but i think it'll start off clear across much of scotland, eastern and southern parts of the uk. in fact, pretty chilly very early in the morning there in eastern scotland and north—east england.

temperatures could be as low as two or three degrees above freezing, a real nip in the air. now, here's monday morning itself, so pretty cloudy across ireland. northern ireland there getting rainfall for sure. belfast probably by late morning, early afternoon getting some spots of rain. nothing too heavy, but it will be very damp, and then eventually that rainfall will reach south—western scotland, later in the day or come evening. the vast majority of the uk, a bright day. bar a few showers there, maybe in the south, the weather is looking sunny. beautiful around the english channel coasts. how about the championships, then, at wimbledon? beautiful weather — temperatures of around 20 degrees celsius, light winds as well. now, here's tuesday's weather forecast. it looks as though we'll see high pressure developing across the south once again, but weather fronts moving through northern parts of the uk, so there is going to be a definite split between the north and the south. we'll call it the northern two thirds of the country pretty cloudy, with a few glimmers of brightness from time to time. some rain for belfast, glasgow,

probably many western and northern parts of scotland too. a few spots of rain possible around the lake district and yorkshire. southwards of that, it should just about stay dry, but pretty cloudy. the south coast itself on tuesday looking mostly on the sunny side. not cold — temperatures even in belfast getting up to around 21 degrees celsius, and if anything they could be peaking, those temperatures, at around 25 in the south, in london, come wednesday. but, on the whole, quite a bit of cloud around there. you can see these weather symbols showing some rainfall from time to time, too. bye— bye.
