this is bbc news. the headlines... us presidentjoe biden unveiled a series of executive measures to combat climate change. mr biden said his administration would make the largest ever investment — 2.3 billion dollars into combating cimate change. the contest to become britain's next prime minister has been narrowed to two candidates — the former chancellor, rishi sunak, and the foreign secretary, liz truss. the final choice now goes to party members. spain and france say, they'll invest more money in fighting wildfires after the devastation caused by the current heatwave in western europe. these the latest pictures from zaragoza province — and the emergency response. the new sri lankan president has called for unity in the face of the ecpnomic meltdown

in the country. but ranil vickrema—singha — also warned, he would deal firmly, with what he called undemocratic efforts to topple the government. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are sonia sodha the chief leader writer for the observer and giles kenningham political commentator & former conservative party press chief. welcome party press chief. back to you both. let's have a welcome back to you both. let's have a look at the front pages. and then there were two, the i newspaper focusses on the conservative leadership contest as rishi sunak and liz truss face tory mps in the final run—off. this was the moment the result was read out.

the penny's dropped — reads the metro as trade minister ms mordaunt is eliminated from the race. according to the daily telegraph, the foreign secretary is the front—runner to become prime minster — the winner is to be announced in september. but the guardian says the tory party fears a damaging six—week battle between the two rivals. blue on blue dogfight — is it's headline. the mail features an exclusive from liz truss who promises to hold an emergency tax cutting budget. while the times quotes mr sunak�*s warning to the tory membership — pick me or lose the next election to labour. the express bids farewell to the outgoing prime minister, but claims borisjohnson is hinting at a political comeback. and speaking of comebacks — the lionesses beat spain 2—1 in a stunning extra—time stand—off — as england head to the semi—finals of the euro championship. so let's begin. let's start with the daily mail. they have an interview with liz

truss saying she will hold an emergency tax cuts budget, she is very much pitching her bed on tax cuts, isn't she?— very much pitching her bed on tax cuts, isn't she? yes. this is a core -a er cuts, isn't she? yes. this is a core paper for— cuts, isn't she? yes. this is a core paper for the _ cuts, isn't she? yes. this is a core paper for the tory _ cuts, isn't she? yes. this is a core paper for the tory vote, _ cuts, isn't she? yes. this is a core paper for the tory vote, a - cuts, isn't she? yes. this is a core paper for the tory vote, a lot - cuts, isn't she? yes. this is a core paper for the tory vote, a lot of i paper for the tory vote, a lot of tory members will read it. you see liz truss doing an interview with the mail tonight and rishi during the mail tonight and rishiduring during an interview or writing with the other key tory paper at the telegraph. in it, the mail says she will have an emergency budget, she talks about tax being at its highest level for 70 years. i think crucially you heard her say in the debates a few days ago, you can't attach your way to growth, an arms race almost during this race about who can tax the most. i think what you've also seen as the daily mail is very anti—rishi and a very pro—boris, we knew a lot of the breast can bring —— blamed rishi for his downfall. they've been critical of him coming out and giving liz truss a really good showing. so, yeah, both of the candidates getting

off at breakneck stick bead in this case, and i think the ballot papers for party members go out or hit the doormats next week, so really, there is no time to kind of get going and so for liz trash —— liz truss. certainly you would bet on her becoming prime minister at the moment. �* , ., ., , becoming prime minister at the moment. �* ., , ., ., , moment. are you a member of the tory -a ? i moment. are you a member of the tory party? i am. — moment. are you a member of the tory party? i am. yeah- _ moment. are you a member of the tory party? i am. yeah- do _ moment. are you a member of the tory party? i am, yeah. do of— moment. are you a member of the tory party? i am, yeah. do of the are - party? i am, yeah. do of the are going to vote for? flat party? i am, yeah. do of the are going to vote for?— going to vote for? not yet. what will our going to vote for? not yet. what will your decision _ going to vote for? not yet. what will your decision depend - going to vote for? not yet. what will your decision depend on? i l will your decision depend on? i think what you have seen so far is quite, you've had this truncated sort of accelerated race squashed into the past ten days to get down from 82. i suppose it seemed the candidates under more pressure and having their policies tested on a wider agreement. yeah, so, having their policies tested on a wideragreement. yeah, so, yeah, having their policies tested on a wider agreement. yeah, so, yeah, the

contributed nonstop live yes, he is setting out his stall. he sort of kind of softening his approach to his opponent, i suppose. liz truss. it is his opponent, i suppose. liz truss. it is very— his opponent, i suppose. liz truss. it is very clear _ his opponent, i suppose. liz truss. it is very clear that people in the conservative party feel that the last nine — conservative party feel that the last nine or so days has been pretty bad for— last nine or so days has been pretty bad for the — last nine or so days has been pretty bad for the party with candidates kind of openly attacking each other. it's kind of openly attacking each other. it's given _ kind of openly attacking each other. it's given labour a lot of fodder. they— it's given labour a lot of fodder. they produced a campaign video which basically— they produced a campaign video which basically consists of senior conservative politicians attacking the conservative government and its record. _ the conservative government and its record. so _ the conservative government and its record. so it — the conservative government and its record, so it is a bit of a gift to lahour~ — record, so it is a bit of a gift to labour. but i think when you take a step back from this, you know, just going _ step back from this, you know, just going back— step back from this, you know, just going back to that front page that we were — going back to that front page that we were just discussing now with liz truss— we were just discussing now with liz truss sort— we were just discussing now with liz truss sort of— we were just discussing now with liz truss sort of pledging a massively thatcher— truss sort of pledging a massively thatcher approach to the economy, that is— thatcher approach to the economy, that is so— thatcher approach to the economy, that is so different to the mandate that is so different to the mandate that borisjohnson won in that is so different to the mandate that boris johnson won in 2019, which _ that boris johnson won in 2019, which was all about leveling up the country. _ which was all about leveling up the country. a — which was all about leveling up the country, a sort of very different agenda, — country, a sort of very different agenda, that in the last hour, about the democratic deficit involved in

sta rts starts suggesting she was the furthest ahead amongst tory membership, but then that seemed to shift all over the place and i saw some polling saying that liz truss would be both penny and rishi. and probably liz truss is a harder opponent for rishi, she has got more cabinet experience, she's done a lot more different roles. she's been tested. ifelt more different roles. she's been tested. i felt somewhat with penny that although she's been a cabinet minister previously two or three years ago, she kind of came out of nowhere. so actually, no, ithink liz truss will be a harder opponent for rishi crucially and she's got a sense of momentum behind her which is one of the key things always in these campaigns. tibia is one of the key things always in these campaigns.— is one of the key things always in these cam aians. . ~ , ., these campaigns. 0k, take us through these campaigns. 0k, take us through the daily mail. — these campaigns. 0k, take us through the daily mail, the _ these campaigns. 0k, take us through the daily mail, the mere's _ these campaigns. 0k, take us through the daily mail, the mere's front i the daily mail, the mere's front page come out of the lying manan into the dyer. just explain that one to us. , , , into the dyer. just explain that one to us. ,, , ., into the dyer. just explain that one tous. ,,, ., , to us. this is focusing on boris johnson's _ to us. this is focusing on boris johnson's last _ to us. this is focusing on boris johnson's last p.m. _ to us. this is focusing on boris johnson's last p.m. cues i to us. this is focusing on boris johnson's last p.m. cues in i johnson's last p.m. cues in parliament today. he sort of saw him

the express documents that in its final p.m. cues, he ticked a veiled swipe at rishi saying that treasury had its way, it wouldn't have the and 25. in clearly, you know, what we've seen throughout this whole leadership races there is a lot of animosity amongst the boris camp towards rishi. they blame him for triggering boris's downfall and the sense that i have had from these whole assertive mantra is anyone but rishi sunak. see you see that weight behind liz truss to do everything possible to destabilise rishi sunak during these final two months, the final six weeks of his campaign. borisjohnson has said that he wouldn't back or be seen to be backing anyone candidate. yes. wouldn't back or be seen to be backing anyone candidate. yes, it's not really the _ backing anyone candidate. yes, it's not really the done thing, - backing anyone candidate. yes, it's not really the done thing, but i i not really the done thing, but i think— not really the done thing, but i think that _ not really the done thing, but i think that that little remark that he put _ think that that little remark that he put in — think that that little remark that he put in there was a dig at rishi sunak _ he put in there was a dig at rishi sunak. the comment about the treasury— sunak. the comment about the treasury and not trusting the treasurv _ treasury and not trusting the treasury. sort of indicative of what we all _

fact we need to be less reliant on russia for our oil and gas and really that's being highlighted there. you've seen a lot of calls for over recent months for the uk to have more of a prominent nuclear energy strategy, i think the green light has been given for some nuclear energy plants to be built here. so, yeah, an ongoing issue, and you know, the energy crisis is not going away anytime soon. the ianored not going away anytime soon. the ignored stream one pipeline is being on pause for the last week or so for maintenance such as a regular thing and all eyes are going to be on that tomorrow as far as energy is concerned to see if it goes back, as it supposed, it goes back online, or whether or not russia will restrict the gas supply. that is right. and i think hindsight is a very fine thing, but it now looks a very bad strategic decision by countries, for

of harm from climate emergency. explain this on. a climate change disproportionately hitting the ethnic minorities in some parts of the uk. it talks about incinerators being in certain places, obviously we have seen the whole issue of climate change rack up the agenda this week with the heat wave going on and the fact that we are seeing temperatures rise year on year and the fact that the country, and also i suppose the white aeroplanes that what has been a lot of lip service paid towards net zero and targets to hit that, and that has slipped on the agenda during the conservative campaign. so quite a timely report i think it from greenpeace today. interesting that the climate emergency, climate crisis hasn't really come top of the agenda and any of the conversations of our amongst the leaders debates. yeah, that is right. —

us who have grown up with the big box in the corner, we can't imagine watching everything on a tiny screen, but generational changes. i think we have to distinguish between public— think we have to distinguish between public service broadcasting and then the medium three which people watch and consume content, whether it is live television or on demand, i agree — live television or on demand, i agree with giles, it is really notable _ agree with giles, it is really notable the way that the bbc and other— notable the way that the bbc and other public service broadcasters like channel 4 have changed the way that content is, you know, transmitted to people. so nowadays if you _ transmitted to people. so nowadays if you want — transmitted to people. so nowadays if you want to watch a big bbc series. — if you want to watch a big bbc series, the chances are you might find all— series, the chances are you might find all of— series, the chances are you might find all of it — series, the chances are you might find all of it on a box set on i pay up find all of it on a box set on i pay up at _ find all of it on a box set on i pay up at the — find all of it on a box set on i pay up at the same time and people can either— up at the same time and people can either consume it live on a sunday night or— either consume it live on a sunday night or they can watch it on iplaver— night or they can watch it on iplaver to _ night or they can watch it on iplayer to strain as a box set. sol think— iplayer to strain as a box set. sol think without a doubt, the way that we consume content is changing, but

that does— we consume content is changing, but that does not mean that it is all going to — that does not mean that it is all going to be over to the big commercial stream errors. i absolutely think public service broadcast has got a role to play and that actually some of our broadcasters like the bbc in fact have _ broadcasters like the bbc in fact have been very good at adapting to newer— have been very good at adapting to newer trends and how we consume content~ _ newer trends and how we consume content. . . newer trends and how we consume content. . , ., , , content. that is it for the papers tonitht. content. that is it for the papers tonight. thank _ content. that is it for the papers tonight. thank you _ content. that is it for the papers tonight. thank you very - content. that is it for the papers tonight. thank you very much i content. that is it for the papers| tonight. thank you very much for taking us through them and thank you all for watching. taking us through them and thank you all forwatching. good taking us through them and thank you all for watching. good night. good evening, i'm tulson tollett, and this is your sports news where we start in brighton and england are through to the womens european championship semi—final after 2—1 extra time win in spain. after a goalless first half, it was the spaniards who deservedly went ahead ten minutes into the second half through esther gonzales. with hope and time running out,

ella leveled matters in the last ten of the 90 minutes. but the goal of the game was an extra time. georgia stand way with the right footed rockets sealed her team's place in the last four, where they will play either sweden or belgium next tuesday. unreal! thatjust shows the level we're at. we get a setback, we come back and we do it. yeah, i am gutted i'm not over there, but the job done. focus on the semis. you couldn't have scored a more impressive goals on that ball left your boots. did you know straightaway it was headed in? i wasn't too sure. it was definitely one to be proud of. like the other girls, we put in massive shift. there's not really much i can say apart from enjoying this moment and crack on. henrik stenson has been sacked as europe's ryder cup captain, with immediate effect. the swede has announced that he'll join the controversial new saudi arabia—backed liv golf series. stenson said he disagrees with

the decision but "has to accept it". he was due to lead the european team for the first time in rome next summer having played in five ryder cups. however, in a statement, team europe said he will not be able to fulfil his contractual obligations. 0ur correspondent iain carter has more. there is only one reason that henrik has been recruited, and that is because he was the european ryder cup captain. he is ranked 171st in the world, not had a decent result really for the past year, so it is not for his golfing cachet, it is for his position within the golfing firm that the live series has decided to recruit him. and they are paying handsome sums of money to do that, to make it worth his while. four stages to go at the tour de france, and jonas vinge—go is still the man to beat. the dane finished just behind defending champion tadej pogacar on stage 17 in the pyrenees — but still leads by over 2 minutes.

geraint thomas lost time on the leaders today, but has a good chance of finishing third. drew savage reports if you are going to win the tour de france, you have got through the pyrenees. a high—altitude test awaited the contenders for the yellow jersey. still a few twists and turns in a race of the speed of the climbs left quite a few behind. britain's adam yates had covid in the build—up to the race and was struggling with sickness, he would drop to ninth place overall. tadej pogacar, the whitejersey was yet again the man most likely to challenge for the race lead. he is over two minutes behind in the standings, he set a pace that left garrett thomas behind, almost in a world of his own. the welshman lost two minutes on the leading pair while riding a wave from those behind him, increasingly likely to finish third, the best of the rest.

try as he might, he could only gain on the yellow jersey right at the very end. winning this stage the defending champions the four seconds he needed, minutes, he's running out of time, he wants to knock vinego off his perch. british runnerjake wightman woke up in the united states on wednesday as a world champion after he produced a brilliant performance to win gold in the 1500 metres. wightman, who finished 10th in the olympic final, managed to overtake the favourite and olympic champion jakob ingerbritsen, on the final bend, to take the title, and become the first british man to win gold in the event since steve cram in 1983. he was running a bit fair, that's the main thing, we could not see any of the screens, any of the gaps in the race or any coverage like that. i wasjust hoping i had done enough to hang on and i kept expecting jacob or someone else to come past. it was only when i crossed the line that i realised i think i have

done something here, what has happened because mankind have i miscounted the laps. have i missed somebody crossing the line? so, yeah, it's still very much going to take a while settle in. it really is an incredible story and it was a true family affair inside the stadium last night. these are the pictures of jake's dad geoff who was calling the race and as he crossed the line he said "that's my son and i coach him, and he's the world champion." i have been doing sportsday since he was about 11, my wife was his pe teacher, we had taken it to slightly bigger stadia, slightly bigger crowds, slightly bigger metals, to come through and win a global title here of all places, the main thing, he made up for the olympics. you only get one shot in four years at that, and winning year in a year where there is three championships will be the only real consolation for that. very proud. and england, scotland and wales will once again combine to form great britain men's and women's teams for the 2023 world sevens series. amid funding cuts, the sides previously competed as gb in 2021,

in preparation for the tokyo olympic games. a statement from the three unions described a "new era" and explained teams would still separate for commonwealth games and sevens world cups. for more on that, of course, england going through to the euro semifinals with that 2—1win over spain. you can add to the bbc sport website. but that is all your sport for now. hello. despite the fact things have turned a bit cooler during the last 36 hours, things are still pretty mild out there as we start thursday morning. quite a muggy feel across some central, eastern parts of england with temperatures still around 16 or 17 degrees. out to the north and west, though, where things are fresher and brighter, we begin the day with some sunny spells. only one or two showers here and there through the day.

the bulk of england, maybe even south—east scotland predominantly cloudy away from the southwest, and that cloud could be thick enough for some light rain or drizzle. temperatures down again on what we saw through wednesday, but still above average for this stage injuly across the south. closer to the average the further north we go and pleasant enough when the sun is out. as we go into the evening, the cloud will be in place, but through the night, we start to see a few more showers developed around it and drift away northwards. on friday, some of those showers could be that bit heavier, greater chance of getting wet for some, even the odd rumble of thunder, flash of lightning. more rain at times to the north and west of the country this weekend. further south and east, dry, but a bit of warmth returns again.
