commentator: and that's it! after a five—hour battle — novak djokovic beats roger federer to retain his wimbledon title. the prime crew now departing from their crew quarters. 50 years after apollo 11 — the lasting impact on neil armstrong of going to the moon. good evening. england have won the men's cricket world cup, in one of the most extraordinary games ever played. they overcame new zealand in an epic encounter at lord's to win the trophy for the very first time. in a dramatic and nail—biting finale, the match went to a tie, before a so—called "super over" between the two sides. our sports editor dan roan is at lord's.
10:04 pm
no one could have expected quite such a thrilling end to the day. absolutely. this was a game that underlined why for those who love cricket, this game is so special. undoubtedly the greatest final in the history of the cricket world cup, this was arguably one of the most gripping matches in this, and in any other sport. for 27 long yea rs, in any other sport. for 27 long years, england had had to wait for an opportunity to win the world cup for the very first time. when it mattered most today, eoin morgan's side delivered, as joe mattered most today, eoin morgan's side delivered, asjoe wilson now reports on a game like no other, and at the end of a day of quite unimaginable tension and drama. at the end of a day of quite unimaginable tension and dramam the historical centre of a global sport, the cricket world cup had, as the song goes, finally come home. but, my, what a staggering journey
10:05 pm
over a match that stretched everything. when england were bowling, it all seems straightforward, three wickets for liam plunkett, 1a years after his england debut. 24! liam plunkett, 1a years after his england debut. 241a winning score for new zealand it seemed unlikely. but england's chase flopped. england required controlled aggression. ben stokes. this would push you to the edge, to the boundary. slower ball, now then! trent boult caught the ball, but watch his step, instead of out, it was six. unusual? you've seen out, it was six. unusual? you've seen nothing yet, nine needed three balls, stokes sprinting, the ball rebounded off his bat, he didn't know, a glorious two runs plus four more. two needed from the last ball, they dashed, they dived, they made one. scores were tied, what now? super over. england score 15 of their six extra balls. new zealand
10:06 pm
backed a bat, from the last ball of the super over, from the last moment of the most momentous match, they needed two to win. the thrower, the stumps, the run out. england have won the world cup! even the super over was tired but by virtue of scoring more boundaries in the game, by the tiniest of margins, england have won. at the fan zone in trafalgar square, they understood that. it was all that needed to be known. it was a victory. after so much tension, the release, everywhere. this world cup has been shared by many nations, all linked with their love of cricket, but in england cricket passion, where is the passion? england! here's the passion! i thought we'd lost it, the passion? england! here's the passion! ithought we'd lost it, i thought it was all over, and i was like that, my hands on my head. that is the greatest one—day cricket match of all time. honestly no words at the moment. i'mjust
10:07 pm
match of all time. honestly no words at the moment. i'm just so gutted. only respect between these two sides. only one winner. fortune favours the brave. that's the word that has defined england's journey to this. joe wilson, bbc news, lord's. it is worth remembering of course that england are now world champions in both men's and women's cricket, but these kind of achievements don't come round all that often, and eoin morgan now emulates bobby moore of course in football in 1966 and martinjohnson in rugby in 2003 in being the captain of a world cup winning england team. it also i think today caps a remarkable transformation, because for decades england were defined by failure in cricketing terms in this format of the game. it reached its an idea four years ago in the last world cup, but that ushered in an entirely new change of approach, a new coach, an australian, trevor bayliss, as well. the selection of this side has
10:08 pm
proved very canny indeed. great of that, pace bowlerjofra archer today, and of course ben stokes also underlining his status as perhaps the premier all—rounder in the game. england handled the pressure of being the world's top ranked side going into this, their own tournament, but this was about a lot more thanjust tournament, but this was about a lot more than just silverware because it comes at a pivotal moment for the sport. the ecb after a decade of fewer people playing the sport needed to harness this tournament, and what a game for this to be the first in 1a years for england to be live on free to air television after that deal between rights holders sky and channel 4. when it comes to breathing new life and reinvigorating cricket, there can be very little better than what we witnessed here at lord's earlier on today. the uk is making a joint appeal with france and germany to donald trump and iran's leaders to ease their standoff over iran's nuclear programme. they say the deal reached with iran could unravel further, and everyone involved needed to consider the consequences of their actions.
10:09 pm
it comes as leaked diplomatic cables reveal that the former british ambassador to washington believed president trump pulled out of the deal to "vandalise" president obama's legacy. our diplomatic correspondent james robbins reports. most of the current crisis in the gulf can be traced back to iran's controversial nuclear research. britain, france and germany still hope to keep alive the 2015 nuclear deal which limits this work, but president trump abandoned it last yearin president trump abandoned it last year in favour of increased sanctions, and iran says it is now breaching the deal because it is not delivering the promised economic benefits. this evening, theresa may, emmanuel macron and angela merkel released a joint appeal, saying they we re released a joint appeal, saying they were concerned by the risk that the nuclear agreement...
10:10 pm
they go on to urge all countries to pause and consider the possible consequences of their actions. that is likely to infuriate the white house, appearing to equate aspect of united states's ha rdline house, appearing to equate aspect of united states's hardline policies with those of iran. it comes on the day the mail on sunday publish more lea ked day the mail on sunday publish more leaked material, saying that president trump axed the nuclear deal despite his predecessor. it is based on controversial reports from sir kim darrock to whitehall and the borisjohnson as sir kim darrock to whitehall and the boris johnson as foreign sir kim darrock to whitehall and the borisjohnson as foreign secretary. mrjohnson couldn't persuade the white house to stick with the deal. whoever comes next prime minister now faces a huge series of tasks, trying to keep secrets secret, trying to keep secrets secret, trying to keep secrets secret, trying to restore and rebuild confidence and morale here at the foreign office and perhaps hardest of all trying to win not lose, influence in washington. at the moment, the relationship is satisfactory for significant reasons
10:11 pm
that are actually much more important than these leaks. namely, middle east policy, including towards iran, a damaging policy which the united states is adopting. iran's president says his country is ready to talk to the united states, but only if washington lifts sanctions and returns to the nuclear deal. translation: when a big power isa deal. translation: when a big power is a bully, then we have to stand up to it. it must stop being a bully. we have always believed in talks. but the white house will not accept iran's preconditions. the crisis at sea in the gulf is no closer to being resolved. the major european powers hope they can still prevent it deteriorating into something far worse, armed conflict. james robbins, bbc news. meanwhile — the bbc has gained rare access to iran, where people had hoped to see the economy revived through the nuclear deal and the lifting of sanctions. our correspondent martin patience has been talking to iranians in the holy city of qom and the capital tehran, with cameraman nik millard
10:12 pm
and producer cara swift. as with all foreign media, they were accompanied by a government official and there were restrictions on what they could film — but not what they could say. crowd chant. nationalism, pride, and resistance. it's religion that fuels iran's politics. but now the choreographed chants of "death to our enemies" are growing louder. the religious city of qom is where clerics have kept the revolutionary flame alive for a0 years. it's where resistance to america is strongest. donald trump is a liar, you know, is an unpredictable person.
10:13 pm
he is not representative of satan — he is satan himself, he is a satan. donald trump is satan? yeah, yeah, because you know, satan does everything that he does. the us accuses iran's religious leaders of wanting to develop nuclear weapons, of seeking to dominate the region. by pulling out of the nuclear deal, donald trump strengthened iran's hardliners, who say that america should never have been trusted in the first place. but many here know that political islam doesn't have the same appeal as it did a0 years ago. iran is changing. pop music plays. in the capital tehran, clerics compete with pop stars for influence. most iranians were born after the 1979 revolution.
10:14 pm
the younger generation is more open to the world. it's these liberal iranians that donald trump believes he can win over. but instead, anti—american sentiment is unifying iran. translation: it's true that iran is pushing very hard with the issue of nuclear energy. perhaps we are pushing too hard, but if nuclear energy is bad for us then it should be bad for everyone else as well. the us and iran needn't be enemies. the paint on this mural is fading. four years ago, with the nuclear deal, america and iran showed they could reach an agreement, but it was never built on trust. what happened here a0 years ago has
10:15 pm
poisoned relations ever since. iranian students stormed the us embassy, holding american diplomats hostage for more than a year. i was from the first day here. this is me. it was christmas. we wanted the american hostages... this man was one of the hostage—takers and later a government minister. this is his message to america. there is no way if he continues like that that iranian people and their leadership can trust their future with mr trump. but he says the last nuclear agreement was too generous... what is the guarantee the president after that doesn't say something else? but he says it was too generous and that allowed iran to meddle in the middle east. ok, but this is not the way.
10:16 pm
this is not the way. are you worried that there will be a war between america and iran? there is not going to be a war because the war against us means killed american soldiers and he's not ready to make a funeral in washington, dc. the former embassy is a reminder of the limits of american power. many iranians believe that the us has not learned that lesson. iran's history is defined by its struggle against foreign nations, and today, america and its allies confront iran at their own peril. martin patience, bbc news, tehran. a 25—year—old man has been charged with the murder of a pregnant woman, and the manslaughter of her baby son. kelly mary fauvrelle was eight months pregnant
10:17 pm
when she was stabbed in her bedroom in south london. her son — who'd been named riley — was delivered by paramedics — but died later in hospital. aaron mckenzie from peckham was also charged with possession of an offensive weapon. there are new calls from labour mps for an independent process for dealing with complaints of anti—semitism. it follows the latest allegations, in a bbc panorama programme, that senior figures in the party interfered with its current complaints system. our political correspondent iain watson is here. what are we expecting to happen now? if you remember in that panorama programme, former members of staff talked to the bbc about anti—semitism, they said there was political interference in the process and they were swiftly denounced for people who had access to ground, who were disaffected members of staff. i think notably today, a seniorfigure, the shadow foreign secretary emily thornberry distance herself from that official attack and said she defended the messengers, as she
10:18 pm
attack and said she defended the messengers, as she called them. so now there's a group of people who see themselves on the centre—left of the party who say the underlying issues needed to be tackled actually. in doing so they say what is required is a completely independent system, independent of the party, to deal with complaints of anti—semitism. this will be raised at the meeting tomorrow, but also i've been told there is going toa similar also i've been told there is going to a similar push at labour's ruling nec to adopt an independent system later this month. a seniorfigure said to me this could be a defining moment for labour but we should say the leadership have not signed up to this, they say they are improving the existing system, dealing with anti—semitism complaints four times quickly than before and that critics simply don't recognise the positive changes they have made. a study that followed nearly 200,000 people over eight years has found that diet and exercise can help almost everyone lower their risk of dementia. researchers found that even those with a higher risk of developing the disease could lower it by up to a third through adopting a healthier lifestyle.
10:19 pm
a remarkable day of sport, for more than one reason. over to olly foster at the bbc sport centre. there was no super over, but wimbledon saw the longest singles final in its history, the first to be decided on a tie—break. novak djokovic retained his crown in an epic match against roger federer. andy swiss. a day to reach for the superlatives. one of wimbledon‘s greatest finals between two of its greatest players. it was the bookies's favourite against the sentimental one. and for four sets, they proved inseparable. novak djokovic won the first and third sets. roger federer the second and fourth. with the crowd on their feet, it was into a decider. but what followed almost defied belief.
10:20 pm
fedor had two championship points, only for djokovic to do this. and at 12-12, with only for djokovic to do this. and at 12—12, with a tie—break for the title, he seized the moment. that might be the shot of the decade. after nearly five hours of nerve shredding drama, it had been wimbledon‘s longest final, memorable for everyone, well, almost. wimbledon‘s longest final, memorable for everyone, well, almostlj wimbledon‘s longest final, memorable for everyone, well, almost. i will try to forget! laughter but, no, it was a great match. it was, if not the most exciting and thrilling finals i was ever part of, then definitely top two, three in my career, against one of the greatest players of all time, roger, who i respect a lot. cheering so many of the fans here were hoping to see roger federer make history, but instead they got one of the most
10:21 pm
dramatic finals these championships have ever seen. a fifth title, then, for djokovic. it is fair to say he certainly earned it. andy swiss, bbc news, wimbledon. lewis hamilton has won the british grand prix for a record six time victory at silverstone also saw the five—time champion stretch his lead in the driver standing. already britain's most decorated driver, lewis hamilton was looking to become the most successful at the british grand prix. his mercedes team—mate va ltteri bottas started prix. his mercedes team—mate valtteri bottas started on pole position but hamilton piled the pressure on from the start. he couldn't make it stick, though. his breakthrough came in a moment of misfortune. antonio giovinazzi's. with the safety car out, hamilton came in, a tactical pit stop which gave him the lead. great job, guys. behind the mercedes, red bull's max verstappen was on a charge. he came for sebastien vettel in third but the ferrari drop them both out of
10:22 pm
the ferrari drop them both out of the podium places. verstappen survived to finish fifth, vettel last. back in front, hamilton cruised to a record sixth british grand prix win and his 80th overall. these people have witnessed history but hamilton is racing towards more. next in his sights, michael schumacher‘s record of 91 race wins. who knows, he could even have it by the next time he comes here. the three home nations involved at the netball world cup in liverpool have made it through to the next stage of the tournament. england topped their group after thrashing samoa 19—2a. scotla nd group after thrashing samoa 19—2a. scotland and northern ireland both lost but all progress to the next phase that starts tomorrow. much more on the bbc sport website, more reaction to that incredible world cup final at lord's. this week, it will be 50 years since the apollo 11 mission, and neil armstrong going down in history as the first man to set foot on the moon. but when he returned, he retreated from public life.
10:23 pm
now, his sons and granddaughter have spoken to the bbc about him, and how he was profoundly affected by seeing the earth rise from the lunar surface. our science correspondent pallab ghosh reports. the prime crew now departing from the crew quarters... on his way to the launch pad, he was about to become the most famous person in human history. yet since he set foot on the moon, the world learned little about the real neil armstrong. here they are in the suit—up room. you really do look a lot like him. thanks. his son, mark, was just six years old at the time. 0h, dad! cute as a button. 50 years on, and a world away, he relives those moments with his daughter, kayleigh. basically, dad's controlling the vehicle and buzz is calling off, how far down they go and how much fuel is left. it's one small step for man...
10:24 pm
..one giant leap for mankind. good job, grandpa. he did not appear to be worried, and so we weren't worried. everything's going to be fine, and we'll see dad in a month or so when he's out of quarantine. dad was very much the same after as he was before, and both he and my mother wanted our lives to try to stay the same after as before. and that was a struggle. his oldest brother rick told me that it wasn't always easy being neil armstrong's son. everybody wants to be judged on their own merits, i think. i would have liked to have been an astronaut in the programme, and maybe i didn't because i didn't want to have to face down that comparison. at the time of the moon landing, through his eyes, millions across the world saw what he saw.
10:25 pm
in 1969, he was looking back at the earth and seeing it as a fragile resource. i wasn't alive, of course, for it, and so getting to relive it in my own generation is really, really special. it's very pretty out here. pallab ghosh, bbc news. a first look at tomorrow's newspapers is coming up in a moment on the bbc news channel. now on bbc one it's time for the news where you are. goodnight. hello, we start this forecast with some warmth and sunshine for many, we will end it with some rain. more on that in a moment. back to the here and now, high pressure across the uk. that will bring a mainly dry and quiet night, mixed spells, clear, variable amounts of cloud but we could see some low cloud feeding into parts of northern scotland and
