this time because the water is over the road now, yeah, i'm a little bit worried, but, yeah. and soon as the power cut off yesterday as well, that was, yeah, had to go because we had no power. some residents in this neighborhood have been rescued by the emergency services and others have evacuated. some are waiting in their homes, praying that they don't get stuck and that the water doesn't rise even further. the thing you keep hearing time and time again is how exhausting it's all been for them. one local told me that facing one catastrophic flood is hard enough, but having to deal with three or four in less than two years is just devastating. linda has been helping people here for years. she herself has had to evacuate the night before, and tells me she's never seen floods this bad. the community's still recovering from the last flood and the one before. actually, some people
10:31 pm
are still recovering from the fires. you know, we're just all in shock and everybody is traumatised. the wet weather has been relentless, and with many roads cut off, authorities have urged people to heed evacuation warnings. experts say the flooding emergency has been worsened by climate change and el nino weather phenomenon. it'll take months, if not years, for communities here to rebuild. and in the back of everyone�*s mind is the fear of when they'll have to go through this again. shaimaa khalil, bbc news, sydney. a seventh person has died following a mass shooting at a fourth ofjuly parade near chicago. police say the suspect robert crimo iii planned the attack for weeks. the 21—year—old legally bought the high—powered rifle he used in the shooting in highland park, which also injured more than 30 people.

britain's cameron norrie is through to the semi—finals of wimbledon after fighting back in a memorable five—set thriller which left the home fans celebrating jubilantly. he will now face novak djokovic. joe wilson was watching the action. this can only happen at wimbledon. it is a wave. but very few ever ride it. cameron norrie looked nervous before his quarterfinal. by his own admission, he began badly. he was two sets to one down against david goffin, the highly experienced belgian. "stay with me," norrie urged no 1 court. only he could produce the shots to take the fourth set. norrie�*s won tournaments before — normal tournaments — climbed the world rankings in normal circumstances. this was not normal. and another one! this was the fifth set, and he broke the goffin serve.
10:33 pm
norrie�*s stamina and composure got him here to 7—5. you've done it, really. cameron norrie has collected influences and experiences from around the world. here was mum from wales, dad from scotland, and now everyone knows his name. crowd: norrie, norrie! it wasn't going my way from the beginning and wasn't feeling good and feeling the ball, and that was all credit to david. he was moving me, playing really good, and i couldn't find my game. and then thanks to you guys... cheering reserved by nature, maybe, but he's growing into all of this. what lies ahead for cameron norrie? well, only opportunity. next, he plays some guy called djokovic, who actually came through his own five—set quarterfinal here on centre court, eventually beating italy's jannik sinner. beware, novak — norrie is going to take it to you. very politely, he said so. joe wilson, bbc news, wimbledon.

england's cricketers produced a great display of batting to beat india in the fifth and final test at edgbaston. they needed a record 378 for victory, which on paper looked very ambitious, but in reality proved very achievable, as our correspondent andy swiss reports. hurtling into the history books. a record run chase for england, completed in barely the blink of an eye. with free tickets, thousands flocked to see whether they could do it. but what could have been a nervy morning proved a stroll in the park, asjoe root gave a reminder ofjust why he's the world number one. having reached his hundred, it was time for the party tricks. root ramping up the decibel levels with one outrageous six. they loved that. and they also loved this. another century forjonny bairstow, his fourth in five innings. it's the stuff of which batsman�*s dreams are made. they turned a mammoth target
10:35 pm
into a victory procession, a team which had been struggling, reborn under new captain ben stokes with another swashbuckling display. away from the action, though, there's been concern here at edgbaston. west midlands police say they're investigating allegations of racist behaviour by some spectators here yesterday. some india fans reported that they were racially abused. police are urging anyone who witnessed it to come forward. problems off the pitch, then. but on it, another memorable win for england's players, theirfourth in a row in what's proving some summer. andy swiss, bbc news, edgbaston. it is a big summer of sporting action. including the delayed women's euro 2022 tournament which england is hosting from tomorrow. half a million tickets have already been sold — that's double the number sold during the entire 2017 tournament in the netherlands. both england and northern ireland have qualified and will play in group a.

our sports editor dan roan has the details. since england reached the semifinals of the world cup three years ago, the domestic women's game has come a long way. bumper tv audiences, record investment, greater visibility and a fully professional league attracting some of the sport's best players. now, the lionesses are preparing for a home euros, one of their stars telling me it's a chance that must be seized. i think this tournament's massive for the growth of women's football and for getting young girls involved in sport. obviously, we want to go out there and enjoy our football and inspire the next generation. that's already happening. toone recently took time during training to welcome girls from astley and tyldesley fc, the lancashire club where she first played the game. like elsewhere, girls' football is thriving here, with nine dedicated teams, one of the country's fastest growing sports. i don't think it's right how it's just been stereotypical, just a game for men. yeah _ but everybody has kinda realised that, apart from some people.
10:37 pm
moving into space... they can play football, they're good at football. in fact, some of them are really talented at football, and i think it's a massive progression, especially from where it was back in the �*70s. yeah, it's massive. with tomorrow night's opener here at old trafford a sell—out, and a final to be staged at wembley, a record half a million tickets have already been sold for these euros. there have been suggestions that the choice of some of the eight other venues could have been more ambitious, however, and there's a real sense that this tournament now needs to translate into bigger attendances in the domestic game. this is what can be achieved. barcelona twice this year breaking the world record crowd for a women's match, with more than 90,000 at the nou camp. in england, average women's super league attendances fell to below 2,000 last season. the fa say they want this to triple by 202a. the audiences in terms of television viewing are fantastic.
10:38 pm
audiences in terms of people coming through the gate, not what we want them to be. this will turbo—charge everything for us, right from grassroots through to the professional game. commentator: on the right there is sheila parker, - the captain of the england team... with an fa ban on women's football lasting until the 70s, sheila parker became the national team's first ever captain. 50 years on, she told me just how much it means to see the current crop enjoy the acceptance her generation never experienced. i'm really pleased for them. delighted that they've got that far. and if england manage to win this? i'll be skipping around the living room! she laughs don't rule it out. sarina wiegman�*s england side are among the favourites, drawn in a group that includes northern ireland. this, a chance to take the game to a new level. dan roan, bbc news. back now to today's dramatic events at westminster. our correspondent danny savage is in the conservative

stronghold of harrogate, finding out how the crisis at number ten and the resignations of the chancellor and the health secretary have gone down with local people. there is often a sense that the british public are apathetic when it comes to politics but they are not tonight and everyone i have spoken tonight and everyone i have spoken to tonight has a view on what is going on and they are talking about the resignations but the conversation quickly moves on to what this means for borisjohnson. after today's political events, you might fancy a drink. at this beer club in harrogate tonight, they were fully aware of what has happened. this is a town with a tory mp, where neighbour rishi sunak�*s resignation has surprised some. do you think this damages the prime minister or do you think he will carry on? i think inevitably it will have a knock—on effect but i think the prime minister, i personally think he has been doing
10:40 pm
a greatjob in the face of adversity with everything that has gone on. borisjohnson still has your support tonight as a voter? absolutely. 100%. what do you think of borisjohnson, is he a man who enjoyed your support in the past and will he still do so going forward? i think what he's done has been great and he is a great personality and i would rather it was him than anyone else previously going through what we've been through, but i think as much as i like him, is he still fit, and i don't know whether or not he is. but other people think it is last orders for borisjohnson... i think he should resign. he just lives in cuckoo land. he doesn't understand that the common working person that earns for a living just can't trust him any more. you can't use the pandemic, you can't use ukraine, you can't keep making excuses and using other political areas as an excuse for appalling bad behaviour. around the corner,
10:41 pm
in the little alehouse, again, everyone was fully engaged with what is going on in westminster. even if i include the miners' strikes and the thatcher era, i can't remember the country in a worse state than it is now. catastrophe, it's a disaster, and he's lurched from one to the other. his position is completely untenable but has been for months. but look at the man in the red jumper on the next table. he was having none of it. i feel for boris, i really do. i think he's been incredibly unlucky. he's had some of the hardest things to ever have to deal with in terms of the covid situation and ukraine. so, is your glass half empty or half full? don't assume support for borisjohnson is evaporating. danny savage, bbc news, harrogate. well, we can now go to westminster and our political editor chris mason for a last word. no shortage of

conservative mps saying that time is “p conservative mps saying that time is up for boris johnson conservative mps saying that time is up for borisjohnson and they have said it consistently and yet as you have underlined, this is not a prime minister who is about to throw in the towel. he minister who is about to throw in the towel. , �* �* , ., the towel. he isn't, he's defiant and determined _ the towel. he isn't, he's defiant and determined this _ the towel. he isn't, he's defiant and determined this evening. i the towel. he isn't, he's defiant i and determined this evening. they are reconciled to more resignations tomorrow, probably not from the cabinet but the next rung down from within the government, and they are concerned, they were nervous, very nervous a little earlier on, in those couple of hours after the resignations of those cabinet ministers when plenty were wondering what might happen next, and the prime minister was asking that exact question himself. he was not in control of events and he was ringing the remainder of his cabinet to work out whether he would survive. no further cabinet resignations and so tonight he is defiant and if you are watching tonight in harrogate or elsewhere and you are one of the 13.9 million people who voted conservative at the last election, you might be asking, why are that
10:43 pm
lot in westminster toying with trying to check the prime minister of the country elected? that is the line of argument you will hear from borisjohnson and others in the coming days, that their mandate lies with the people and not with the anguish and anger and there is bucketloads of both amongst conservative mps here. so tonight, for now, the prime minister survives, but today it is today and tomorrow is tomorrow and what might we hearfrom rishi sunak or sajid javid, the former health secretary, or indeed any others. borisjohnson remains vulnerable and he knows that tonight. remains vulnerable and he knows that toniaht. , ., ~ ., ., tonight. chris, we will talk again tomorrow _ tonight. chris, we will talk again tomorrow. thank— tonight. chris, we will talk again tomorrow. thank you _ tonight. chris, we will talk again tomorrow. thank you for - tonight. chris, we will talk again tomorrow. thank you for now. i time for a look at the weather. here's susan powell. last nightjust last night just 4 last nightjust 4 degrees in suffolk, the first week ofjuly, but we do have warmer weather on the way
10:44 pm
through the course of this week and for the evenings, nights and the days. where are we going to get it from? this area of high pressure building from the south—west and air travel is in a clockwise direction and if you look it is pulling all the way from the as oars coming around the pipeline up to the uk, spilling in behind the warm weather front and pushing into the uk overnight. a milder night ahead and some pretty wet weather to come through the small hours in scotland and rain will linger into wednesday across western scotland and the temperatures look very different to the figures we saw last night, in double figures widely in the uk, more typicalfor this double figures widely in the uk, more typical for this time of year. wednesday dawning with quite a bit of cloud initially perhaps but southern and eastern england will brighten quickly with sunshine spreading to wales but we always keep more cloud to the north of the uk, windy in scotland, up to 45 mph but at least some sunshine in the west and more cloud and it stays cooler but elsewhere the

temperatures nudging up, pushing towards the mid 20s. warmer than at the start of the week. thursday, the wind will be lighter, northerly down the north sea which will drop the temperature in norwich but otherwise the temperatures are increasing across england and wales as we have more sunshine. scotland and northern ireland, cloud, mistand murk more sunshine. scotland and northern ireland, cloud, mist and murk over the hills will cap the temperatures to around 18—20 at the end of the week but that is milder than at the start of the week and around average for the time of year but further south we are looking at the temperature is pushing up significantly, especially as we get to the weekend, and for central and eastern england we could get close to 30 degrees somewhere on sunday. i don't want to be around for that! that is not for me. thanks, susan. and that's bbc news at ten on the 5th ofjuly. there's more analysis of the day's main stories on newsnight with kirsty wark, which is under way on bbc two.
