at the match. even for the non—cricketing experts, that was a truly amazing finish. unbelievable, absolutely stunning game of cricket and it seems astonishing in that after seven weeks of cricket, compelling tournament, that it would end in the most dramatic of ways that it almost seems unfair that it should be settled in these circumstances. a penalty shoot out equivalent in if you like and, well, 15 runs that england managed to produce from their respective super over. new zealand could only match them. as you say, it was the number of boundaries that england managed to produce throughout across the whole match that saw them settle this tournament and win the world cup for the very first time. it was an unbelievable match. 241—8, new zealand produced over there 15 overs, england, two all out, they could not be split over 100 overs of cricket so we went to the uber over.

it was jos butler and cricket so we went to the uber over. it wasjos butler and ben stokes to produce 15 runs of six balls and then in reply, new zealand needed two of the final ball of that super over to win it, they could only get one. this is how it has been settled, it has been an unbelievable tournament, a brilliant tournament. compelling stuff from start to finish and as we know from england, a big win because ever since they went out at the group stages of the world cup four years ago, this has been the main focus, the main drive. it's been what's behind how england have branched out the way they now play the game, a much more attacking style of cricket, this is what has gotten them to this point. it looked at one point like they would fall at the final hurdle but for eoin morgan and his side, and absolutely brilliant result. new zealand will be desperately disappointed, they, too, have never in this world cup before. they came in having reached the semifinals four years ago when they were beaten by australia on home soil. they have a great record in this tournament, a great record in the world cup and their captain

kane williamson, who will be bitterly disappointed that they have fallen so short in such dramatic circumstances here at lord's. fallen so short in such dramatic circumstances here at lord'sm fallen so short in such dramatic circumstances here at lord's. it was such a roller—coaster match, swinging one way than the other. tells what the atmosphere was and is like there at lord's. incredible. the fireworks were going off shortly after that match and the fans have obviously been spilling out now. many in disbelief at what they have witnessed. i do not think anyone would have envisaged a finish quite like this and it goes to show that, at elite level sport, how tight it can be and we've seen that brilliant finish at wimbledon today and another exciting finish here to this match at this cricket world cup. it has been a compelling tournament and at elite level sport, it is fine margins, very difficult to split two of the world's best and i think everybody knows we have been treated toa everybody knows we have been treated to a brilliant match, brilliant contest as it has been from start to finish. for new zealand, perhaps

they thought it could not have gone any better with that huge win against india in the semifinals, they prove they did not speak then and they brought the very best today. for england as well, let's not forget playing on home soil, it was very tough, very tight, they almost did not get out of the group phase but they needed those big wins against india and also against new zealand. theirfinal against india and also against new zealand. their final group games, against india and also against new zealand. theirfinal group games, to make it through to the semifinals and of course knocking out australia, the holders, in the last four. this has been the main focus for england, the drive to win this tournament and at long last, having failed on three previous finals, they finally got over the line today. for the moment, thank you very much. not far from where we are. a beautiful evening in central london. we will have more on that and more on the wimbledon final in a few minutes. the uk, france and germany have made a direct appeal to donald trump and orang's leaders to end the escalating tension over

iran's nuclear programme, this comes as more leaked diplomatic cables have come. and it is believed donald trump pulled out of the iran deal to damage the legacy of his predecessor barack obama. 0ur diplomatic correspondent james robin reports. little more than one year ago, borisjohnson as foreign secretary was urging mike pompeo, donald trump's secretary of state, to persuade his boars not to abandon the hardline international agreement with iran, restricting its nuclear capability. international agreement with iran, it is very far from perfect but it is the best thing that we have at the moment. for months, mrjohnson has been working very closely with britain's ambassador sir kim darroch, when leaked cost him his job. the new material published shows a circuit making clear his view the president was determined to pull out of a nuclear deal mainly as an act of spite

against barack obama. the administration, he wrote, has set up on an act of diplomatic vandalism seemingly for ideological and personality reasons. it was 0bama's deal. all this matters now because britain and the united states disagree profoundly over policy towards iran. both have warships in the gulf and want to prevent iran shutting down the vital sea lanes, but only the us seeks to destroy iran's economy by ever tightening sanctions. the leaks throw vivid light on those splits. whoever becomes next prime minister now faces a huge series of tasks, trying to keep secret secret, trying to restore and rebuild confidence and morale here at the foreign office and hardest of all, trying to win, not to lose influence in washington. at the moment, the relationship is not satisfactory for significant reasons that are actually much more important than these lea ks, namely the middle east policy.

the policy which the united states is adopting. and the deep transatlantic disagreement over how best to contain iran was a nuclear programme has been highlighted again this evening. the leaders of britain, france and germany have appealed jointly to both united states and iran to stop the escalation of tensions and resume dialogue. as james mentioned, tensions between iran and the west are rising. many iranians are furious about the crush on sanctions the us has imposed. 0ur correspondent and a cameraman and producer have been in tehran speaking to iranians —— had been in iran speaking to iranians about this. as with all foreign media, the tea m this. as with all foreign media, the team was accompanied by government representative at all times. it was four years ago today that the iran nuclear agreement was signed and here in iran, there is a real sense

of optimism but that optimism has 110w of optimism but that optimism has now evaporated. a year ago, america pulled out of the nuclear agreement and re—imposed sanctions on the country. the sanctions are really hurting. now we see soaring tensions between iran and the west. iran sees donald trump was my decision is a com plete donald trump was my decision is a complete and utter betrayal. donald trump says that the first agreement was too generous and it gave iran a free hand to meddle in the middle east. iran has resumed, putting uranium to levels higher than permitted under the agreement and it is threatening to carry out further steps is threatening to carry out further ste ps u nless is threatening to carry out further steps unless it gets sanctions relief. the sanctions mean that many iranians are struggling to get by, food prices here going through the roof. now iran stands accused of carrying out a tax on oil tankers in the gulf. that something it denies. something it does not deny is that it shot down a us drone and last

week, another incident. britain seized an iranian oil tanker off the coast of gibraltar. iran was furious and ate a few days ago, iranian vessels challenged a british —— and a few days ago, iranian vessels challenged a british vessel in the gulf. what this shows as it could lead to a serious confrontation. let's look at some of the other stories making the news. dozens of people have been killed as monsoon floods rip through nepal, bangladesh and north—eastern india. 0fficials in nepal say at least 50 people have died in recent days due to heavy rains. another 30 people are still missing. any north—eastern indian state of assam, at least ten people have died. the rains continue to —— expected to continue for a few days for the police in paris he fired tear gas at protesters kneels the shop to lycee shortly after the bastille day military parade say

they detained more than 150 people including two yellow vest leaders. —— nearchamps including two yellow vest leaders. —— near champs elyssee. earlier in the day, 4000 members of the french armed forces took part in the parade. pro—democracy campaigners in hong kong have been out on the streets again as they try to keep up the momentum of recent mass protests. the demonstrations were started over a controversial extradition bill have become a focus for anger against beijing on a range of issues. with anti—government u nrest of issues. with anti—government unrest showing no signs of dying down, some clashes broke out between protesters and police as it remained on the streets. another weekend, another protest which ends in this way. riot police are gathering here, you can see how many of them there are. they have come to clear their shopping district as protesters have refused to leave the streets. and 110w refused to leave the streets. and now in their hundreds. they are

moving to where the protesters are. and forcing them to leave. one thing that has definitely changed is that this was at one point a completely peaceful movement but now we are seeing at least a certain proportion of protesters who are prepared to dramatically escalate their struggle. that involves using weapons of some sort to take on the police. throwing projectiles at them. having holes and other sharp objects that they can use to attack the police and this is now becoming a regular occurrence. the problem is that this movement, which was once one focusing only on an unpopular extradition bill is now morphing into something else. they are defending hong kong was my freedom is more general sea and calling for universal suffrage. many of the protesters emboldened by what they

see as a victory over this bill of effectively killed it, thinking they can now get one person one vote here. they will not be satisfied u nless here. they will not be satisfied unless they have something approaching that. beijing isn't going to give them that without a fight so i suppose they have decided that a fight is just what they will give beijing. stay with us on bbc world and useful stop still to come. . . world and useful stop still to come... 50 years since man first landed on the moon. we will tell you how a scientist at cambridge university was instrumental in the old mission. after months of talks and missed deadlines, greece has been kept within the eurozone. the immediate prospect of bees going bust and the worst i was to hit euro zone has been affected. emergency services are stepping up their efforts to contain the worst floods of the

dramatic finish at lord's cricket ground here in london. tropical storm barry has been buffeting the us state of louisiana, threatening tornadoes and flooding in some places due to torrential rain. despite being downgraded from a hurricane shortly after making landfall, authorities say the storm still poses a significant threat as it moves towards mississippi. more than 100,000 households remain without power. there was flooding in low—lying areas and whole communities were left without power. barry may have been downgraded to a tropical storm almost as soon as it made landfall the people who are in new orleans are still concerned. this is one reason why. the mississippi river has been swollen to flood levels for

many months and now forecasters are predicting there could be a huge downpour of rain over the next 24—hour is. downpour of rain over the next 24-hour is. there is so much rain, so much water with the storm that it will come north and well some of these rain bands that actually feed these rain bands that actually feed the tropical system sit, they have the tropical system sit, they have the potential to produce one foot or more rainfall and that is really what you're watching right now. why is my people who initially heeded warnings to shelter in their homes but as they started to return to the streets, the city's may one day it we re streets, the city's may one day it were not out of the woods yet. while the storm surge risk on our mississippi river has passed, the primary risk continues to remain heavy rains for the city of new 0 rlea ns. heavy rains for the city of new orleans. the levy system that protects the system from major flooding has so far stood up to the storm's force. there is concern that heavy rain could still overwhelm the city's and liquidated drainage system and flood warnings have been extended to this evening. american

airlines has extended flight cancellations for a fourth time due to the continuing grounding of boeing 737 max passengerjets. the company said about 115 daily flights will remain cancelled until early november. aviation authorities around the world grounded 737 max aircraft in march after two crashes in indonesia and ethiopian are killed almost 350 people. last month, the us authorities said they had uncovered an additional floor that boeing said it would take until at least september to fix. it's certainly been lively here over the last few hours. more on that incredible cricket final and the men's tennis final at wimbledon. it's been just as tense and nerve—racking here as well at bbc sport studios. england have won the cricket world cup for the first time everin cricket world cup for the first time ever in the most dramatic of fashions as they have beaten new zealand at an all—time classic

final. 0ur reporterjohn watson was watching england make history at lord's watching england make history at lords and they certainly didn't do it the easy way. astonishing. it seems just crazy that after seven weeks of brilliant cricket, this is how this world cup has been decided. the two teams could not be split after 100 overs of cricket. new zealand producing 241—8 from their 50 overs, england all out for 240 and that led to the super over. england facing six balls, managing to make 15 runs and in reply, new zealand needing two of the final ball of their super over to get them over the line and they could only draw level. to decide it, it was down to the number of boundaries that england had made over the course of the match. exceeding that of new zealand. it seems astonishing that that is the way we have settled this but that is how it has been done. monty panasonic, england cricketer, has joined done. monty panasonic, england cricketer, hasjoined us. have you

ever seen for cough a match quite like that. —— monty panesar has joined us. never. being at the world cup final in england, this is one of the greatest cricket matches we have ever seen. i think this has been one of the best of a world cups and it hasjust been of the best of a world cups and it has just been a of the best of a world cups and it hasjust been a great of the best of a world cups and it has just been a great feeling. of the best of a world cups and it hasjust been a great feeling. i was there at the ground watching it from there at the ground watching it from the ebola plus my arm and witnessing england win the world cup, it's something we've always wanted to do and to do it at lord's could not be and to do it at lord's could not be a better feeling. we know both of these teams are never won this world cup previously, heartbreakfor these teams are never won this world cup previously, heartbreak for new zealand to lose it in this manner. cup previously, heartbreak for new zealand to lose it in this mannerlj think there is always, for new zealand, lived on brilliantly well. i felt this was going to be a very easy day for england. i felt out of the group stages, new zealand were the group stages, new zealand were the weakest out of the teams but they've proven me wrong, new zealand we re very they've proven me wrong, new zealand were very competitive and i think at one point, new zealand... even i felt they were going to win it. the

turning point was over throws so hitting ben stokes and going for four. you could not imagine some of the things that happened throughout this game for england to win this world cup but i think throughout the whole tournament, england have played probably the best cricket out of all the other teams and i think they deserve to win this world cup. eoin morgan has done brilliant fully well. transforming one—day cricket for england and he has set the benchmark. how one day cricket should be played, england consistently scoring probably more runs than any other team, consistently above 350—360 and that seems to be the norm for england while other teams seem to catch up. thank you very much indeed great to get your thoughts. fantastic stuff, we could go on and on, it's been a brilliant match. england are the real‘s number one team and they've proved that. just by the titus

margin. and one of the best wimbledon finals of all time, too, as roger federer was beaten by novak djokovic in a thrilling five hour match. a day to reach for the superlatives. 0ne match. a day to reach for the superlatives. one of wimbledon was my greatest finals between two of its greatest players. it was a battle of the bookie's favourite against the sentimental one. but if roger federer had the support, it was novak djokovic that sooner had the edge. he took the first set on a tie—break but back came roger federer, charging to the second. a picture of poetry in motion. thrillingly, ms merkley, it ebbed and flowed, novak djokovic winning another tie—break before roger federer levelled again. with the crowd on their feet, federer levelled again. with the crowd on theirfeet, it federer levelled again. with the crowd on their feet, it was federer levelled again. with the crowd on theirfeet, it was into federer levelled again. with the crowd on their feet, it was into a decider. what followed almost defies

belief, leading 8—7, roger federer had two championship points but somehow novak djokovic saved them. a 12 game —— my at 12 games all, it was a tie—break for the win and it finally went to novak djokovic after five hours of drama. the longest singles final ever. two greats of the sport but only one winner.m was if not the most exciting thrilling and final i was ever part of, then definitely talk two or three in my career. against one of the greatest players of all time, roger, who i respect a lot. applause applause a wimbledon classic, then, that novak djokovic won in extraordinary fashion. quickly need to say that we as hamilton won the british grand prix. totally out of time, everything is only be bc sport website. too much for today. thank

you very much. —— my only bbc website. 50 years since man first landed on the moon and if not for a british invention, we may never have got there. a cambridge university alum created the fuel cell that got us alum created the fuel cell that got us there. tucked away on board apollo 11, just behind neil armstrong is a small device without which president nixon said they would not have reached the moon. and here is one part of it. it does not look much. this is a classic example of an object that looks so simple on the outside, incredibly complex on the inside and actually change the course of history. it's an electrode from a bacon fuel cell. a prototype because the original was left in space. as we can see from the old manual, 30 of those discs combined into a cell that provided the electricity for apollo 11. it consumes hydrogen and oxygen to water and produces electrical energy.

he makes it sound simple but the inventor cracked a huge scientific problem — to turn the theory of a fuel cell into a practical working device. it seems to me that this is almost as revolutionary as the discovery of steam traction. would you agree? i would like to think so but remember, i am an enthusiast perhaps you should have that confirmed by someone else. professorjohn davidson knew tom bacon well. he was always very polite. he would ask you what your interests were and if they had any bearing on the fuel cell he was deeply interested. but if they did not, he switched off. but why was the fuel cell quite so good? and how does it work? new students in bacon's old cambridge department showed me.

you are on television. look down the lens and tell everybody what we have here. we have a small pot of soapy water here and a balloon filled with hydrogen gas. what we will do is generate a layer of hydrogen bubbles on top of the water and then we will ignite it and you shall see a small—scale explosion. the cell used hydrogen and oxygen that were already on board apollo as rocket fuel. when combined, they create energy. which can generate electricity. even better, the only by—product was water. which the crew drank. it is safer, lighter, it is smaller, quieter and, above all, more efficient. the bacon fuel cell. the small british invention that made the moon landings possible.

thanks for watching. hello, we start this forecast with some warmth and sunshine for many. we will end at with some rain. more on that any moment. back to the here and now, high pressure across the uk and now, high pressure across the uk and that will bring a mainly dry and quiet night, a mixture of clear spells, variable amounts of cloud but we could see low cloud feeding into parts of northern scotland and eastern england, which could bring some misty, murky conditions in places, may be patchy drizzle as well but for most they mainly dry night with temperatures typically but in 9—13dc, as low as 7—8dc for some rural areas under clear skies. we start the week with some warmth and sunshine and it stays dry but gradually turning wetter and windier as the week wears on. on monday, the theory of high pressure centred

arriving in from the atlantic, that will bring persistent rain across northern ireland and eventually into scotland, some windier conditions starting to pick up as well but are england and wales, still holding on to some warmth and light winds so another fine day for england and wales, some strong sunshine, light winds and persistent rain, gradually pushing its way eastwards. the winds will be strengthening as well. still holding onto those winds across england and wales. temperatures holding at 26 celsius is a maximum possible overseeing some rain by friday. —— all of us seeing some rain by friday. england have won the
