this is bbc news, the headlines both the us and and russian presidents have spoken positively about their talks in geneva, but significant differences were laid bare in their answers to reporters�* questions. president biden said he'd told mr putin that the us would respond to actions that threaten its interests and raised human rights abuses. president putin denied that russia had a role in a series of cyberattacks against us institutions. dominic cummings, the man who used to be borisjohnson�*s closest adviser, has published whatsapp messages allegedly revealing the british prime minister called his health secretary matt hancock �*hopeless�*. a preliminary report into the collapse of a metro line track in mexico city last month says it was caused by structural flaws. 26 people died when an elevated section of the line collapsed under the weight of a commuter train

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. to what the the papers will be with me is christopher hope of the telegraph, and he's joined by the evening standard columnist and times radio broadcaster, ayesha hazarika. tomorrow's front pages, starting with, the mirror leads on those messages revealed today by dominic cummings in which the pm calls matt hancock "hopeless" —— the paper asks how he's still in the job? but the express dismisses the former advisor�*s intervention with the headline: �*sorry dom, we've got bigger fish to fry�* —— as borisjohnson stood by his health secretary. and the times says matt hancock is set to be exonerated over claims he lied to the prime minister, after dominic cummings failed to substantiate the allegations.

the mail's headline: �*shock plans to work from home forever�*. the paper claims ministers are looking at changing the law to give staff a �*default�* right to work from home. sources have told the telegraph that officials are drawing up proposals to allow people who have had both covid vaccinations to travel to amber list countries and avoid quarantine on their return. plans are also being made to allow for vaccine hubs in schools, according to the i, should regulators approve the mass vaccination of under 18s. the financial times focuses on the talks betweenjoe biden and vladminir putin — and the american president's warning to his russian counterpart of the �*devastating' consequences should opposition activist alexei navalny die in prison. under a photograph of the two leaders shaking hands, the guardian says biden also told putin to abide by the rules of the road on cyber security. so, let's begin.

a real mix but matt hancock features on most of them. let's start with the mirror and chris, hopeless, a reference to not you, i hasten to add but dominic cummings what's app. 15 months, logic 28,000 deaths after pm's damning verdict on his health secretary. how come he is still stuck in a job, chris elaborate. when he was called hopeless by the prime _ when he was called hopeless by the prime minister on premise stereo language — prime minister on premise stereo language and a whatsapp message to dominic_ language and a whatsapp message to dominic cummings, there were not action_ dominic cummings, there were not action 20,000 deaths and it wasn't 15 months — action 20,000 deaths and it wasn't 15 months since it happened, it was in the _ 15 months since it happened, it was in the beginning of this crisis. i think_ in the beginning of this crisis. i think matt _ in the beginning of this crisis. i think matt hancock was being a booster— think matt hancock was being a booster trying to be impulsive on how he _ booster trying to be impulsive on how he was testing in dealing with

potency has slightly ebbed away. we are still talking about it and it will dominate the news cycle for a good 2a hours and chris made that point when he did the first round. a matt hancock said himself and he came and gave evidence and there wasn't really a scooping gun, jeremy hunt made this in dominic cummings was talking about house got this big piece of evidence but never produce this big piece of evidence. yes, there is whatsapp messages, yes they're pretty embarrassing and do not share the prime minister thinking of matt hancock in the right light. but in a way, the thing thatis right light. but in a way, the thing that is interesting is up until the local elections, you could've argued that, i'm a donald trump there. sorry! dominic cummings, he was the real

power in terms of winning that majority, but borisjohnson has been a better prime minister since getting rid of dominic cummings and he did really well and those local council elections and he won the election, the by election, two by elections and we've got this and i feel like there's this grit the dominic cummings had ever boris johnson that was kind of there but is gone now. find johnson that was kind of there but is gone nova-— johnson that was kind of there but is one now. �* ., , is gone now. and the timing of these whatsa - is gone now. and the timing of these whatsapp messages, _ is gone now. and the timing of these whatsapp messages, the _ is gone now. and the timing of these whatsapp messages, the reason - is gone now. and the timing of these | whatsapp messages, the reason why it's because what he claimed and he has got _ it's because what he claimed and he has got this— it's because what he claimed and he has got this axe to grind against his former— has got this axe to grind against his former boss and he was to get people _ his former boss and he was to get people fired, it's more about how he is reproduced actual whatsapp messages sent after midnight and notice _ messages sent after midnight and notice of— messages sent after midnight and notice of got diagnosed with covert and he _ notice of got diagnosed with covert and he said that hancock was totally

and through bone to the opposition but unfortunately keir starmer didn't use that ammunition and a lot of people were dismayed by that. i'm sure it is a line that the labour party will prosecute but generally, lots of people were surprised when they read out the text messages and hands up if you think matt hancock is hopeless. the thing is, matt hancock to get doors and he was asked the question, do you think you're hopeless. i don't think so. he is not even sure himself. the bbc shouting _ he is not even sure himself. the bbc shouting through the window behind his mask, _ shouting through the window behind his mask, we are all a bit hopeless on this— his mask, we are all a bit hopeless on this trut— his mask, we are all a bit hopeless on this but he didn't seem entirely convinced — on this but he didn't seem entirely convinced about it. biden warns vladimir prudent about

with your sports news and wales have given themselves a wonderful chance of qualifying for the last 16 of the european championship after a 2—0 win over turkey in baku. 30,000 were watching the group a game in the azerbaijan capital as rob page's side helped stifle the large support for turkey, asjoe lynskey reports. capital as rob page's side helped stifle the large support for turkey, asjoe lynskey reports. wales were 3000 miles from cardiff bay, only now did badly from cardiff bay, only now did baku feel so farfrom home. this is 30,000 turkey fans and a pocket of welsh believers, but this team have defied their side before. but this team have defied their size before. in parts of the side, they have world—class quality. aaron ramsey ofjuventus to the space behind early. his first chance was blocked, his second was out of character. ramsey has missed it! with every miss and regret, wales grew in belief, and when gareth bale has the ball, he can do the extraordinary. after this pass,

ramsey couldn't miss. and it is in this time! for the missed shots! who cares about them now?! wales one up! green and gold, wales had something precious. turkey knew with the feet, they would be playing for third in the second half. united equalised, but soon wales have the chance to silence baku. a penalty. he's missed it and missed it by a lot! the backlash was coming. but danny ward saved turkey's best chance in the minutes ticked away. on a breathless brilliant night for wales, there would be one more moment. that has finished it off! connor roberts! i couldn't be more proud of the players. the chances we've created against a very good team in turkey is unbelievable.

to win in the manner in which we did, credit goes to the players, they were outstanding. from baku, wales now go to rome, but on the fringe of the continent, their euros dream has come alive. joe lynski, bbc news. in the same group italy have qualified for the last 16 after a 3—0 win over switzerland in rome. manuel locatelli scored the opener with a tap in and thundered a second home after the break. while at the end of the game ciro immobile scored in a similar fashion to hand roberto mancini's side a 29th consecutive international win. in today's early kick off in saint petersburg — russia blew group b wide open after a 1—0 win over finland. it was finland's first appearance since their match against denmark in which christian eriksen had a cardiac arrest during the game and they showed their support to the dane before kick off. but russia took the three points with this goal — a moment of quality from aleksey miranchuk giving them their first win of the tournament,

after losing their opening game to belgium. a leading brain charity has called france's decision to keep defender benjamin pavard on the pitch last night as "sickening to watch". pavard was involved in this collision during the world champions'1—0 win over germany. he said afterwards he was knocked unconscious for ten to 15 seconds. all teams at this tournament have signed up to a concussion charter, stating any player with a head injury will be removed from the pitch. uefa say they're looking into the incident. sergio ramos is set to leave real madrid, after the club announced a "farewell" news conference set to take place on thursday. ramos has been with the spanish giants for 16 years, winning five la liga titles, and four champions leagues during his spell. he made 67! appearances during that time and scored 101 goals. he'll become a free agent after failing to agree a new deal. a late collapse from england took the shine off the first day of the one—off test match against india in bristol.

to win for irish trainer aiden o'brien underjockey ryan moore. meanwhile, laura pearson has become only the fourth female jockey to ride a winner at royal ascot. aboard lola showgirl in the kensington palace stakes, the 20—year—old admitted she never thought it would happen but won byjust under a length to follow way kelleway, hayley turner and hollie doyle in the winners enclosure. there was one super league game this evening with castleford breaking a four match losing streak with an 18—12 win at wakefield. daryl powell's side lost halfback gareth o'brien to injury before half time but they scored four tries, the last of them on the hour mark from peter mautautia and they remain seventh on the table with a 15th straight win over their near neighbours. and that's all the sport for now. hello there. over the next few days, bouts of thunderstorms will be affecting parts of england, bringing a risk of some

localised flooding. now, wednesday was another very hot day in the capital. 29 degrees celsius, that was the highest temperature recorded in the whole of the uk. it was also very muggy. but we had some thunderstorms that started to break out as well across northern france, and these have been tracking across the english channel into southern and eastern areas of england. really anywhere from around about dorset, somerset north—eastwards at risk of a storm overnight, but really it's a more general area of rain with some thunderstorms mixed in. that's kind of what we'll have over the next few hours. now, across the north west, it should become largely dry here. a fresh night, ten degrees, comfortable for sleeping, but very muggy in eastern england. 18 degrees as we start the day on thursday. now, through thursday, a wet start, i think, across the south east of england, east anglia, a good part of the midlands as well, with outbreaks of rain. still a risk of a few thunderstorms mixed in. most of that rain will clear off into the north sea with the weather becoming drier and brighter from the south—east, but still with a lot of cloud around. best of the sunshine, scotland, northern ireland and north—west

fringes of both england and wales probably having some bright and reasonably fresh weather as well. but it will still be very humid in the east. thursday night, well, it should become dry at least for a time before the next batch of storms begin to make inroads from the south. and then through friday, again, we're looking at another pulse of thundery rain kind of affecting the same sort of areas really. southern england, the midlands, east anglia, parts of lincolnshire and yorkshire. and within this area of rain, there will be some hefty downpours bringing a risk of some localised flooding. still relatively fresh weather across the north west with some bright or sunny spells coming through. now, friday night, the rain slowly pushes its way northwards and eastwards with the thunderstorms as well. saturday does look a little bit drier generally. there'll be a few bright or sunny spells around, perhaps one or two showers here and there as well. and then through saturday night, more storms work up from europe. but this time, the rain's going to be more widespread, and it will push right across into northern ireland and scotland as well,

still with the risk of some thunderstorms embedded in that area of rain. so, all in all, very unsettled for the next few days. the biggest storms capable of bringing a lot of rain in a short space of time, which could bring the risk of some localised flooding. that's your latest weather.
