i'm martine croxall live here at wembley. the headlines at 3pm: just two hours to go — before england's lionesses try and make history — taking on germany in the final of the european championship. every little girl now can see that women can be successful, that you can do what you really love. i'm frankie mccamley in the studio — the other headlines this hour... the office of the prince of wales has insisted that all rules were followed when the prince's charitable fund took a donation of a millon pounds from the bin laden family of saudi arabia.

just days before ballot papers arrive with tory members — rihsi sunak and liz truss set out new promises on health and education. the chair of the public inquiry investigating the post office scandal has called for the process of compensation for victims to be sped up. hello and welcome to wembley where we are just a couple of hours away from the kick—off between england and germany in the women's european championships. of course germany have won against england many, many more times. but in this competition

england have scored 20 goals and they have only conceded one. there is no doubt that they will have the home advantage here, we have seen the last few hours thousands and thousands of people walking down wembley way, heading towards the stadium. the atmosphere is like that of a carnival or a fair, everyone is hoping for a really good match and they do want england to win. joe lynskey looks ahead. five wins down. goes for goal! oh, my word! one more match to go. through the month ofjuly there's been new memories and new faces. now at the end of it, england want the trophy at wembley, but they face the team, who at the euros, are the experts. there's been 12 of these tournaments, germany have won eight of them

and they've not lost a final. one was in england in 2005 and four years later, against them. chance for six. six scored by germany. england have never won it but their coach has and since sarina wiegman took charge in september, they are unbeaten. she feels herjob is notjust to win, it's to make a difference. we want to inspire the nation, we want everyone to be proud of us and i think we've already accomplished that. and yes, every little girl now can see that women can be successful, that you can do what you really love and that makes a difference and that will, hopefully, change society in a positive way. the crescendo is building, the country is watching. good luck for the semifinal, we're all behind you. you have been magnificent. you all should be so proud of yourselves. we are proud of you. everything you're doing is so empowering for young girls out there. we are all absolutely captivated. in an open letter, the prime minister told the team

that whatever happens at wembley, the pitches and playgrounds and parks of this country will be filled as never before with girls and women who know football is notjust for boys, it really is for everyone. we have to fight every day and we fight for those little girls every single day we step out onto a pitch and make ourselves visible, so this could have been a tournament that could have been a real pressurised situation for us. in actualfact, we have come together, we've brought the nation together and all we feel from them is love and support. there is no pressure which is a lot to say, so thank you. every seat at wembley sold. a nation's been inspired. at the end of the lionesses' greatest month, there is one more match left to win. joe lynskey, bbc news. joining me now is sports minister, nigel huddlestone.

of future sportswomen. irate this in aspiring future generations of future sportswomen.— this in aspiring future generations of future sportswomen. we have been seeinr so of future sportswomen. we have been seeing so many _ of future sportswomen. we have been seeing so many families _ of future sportswomen. we have been seeing so many families going - of future sportswomen. we have been seeing so many families going along l seeing so many families going along wembley way, lots of children, lots of little girls all very excited. how important is it that you are feeding that progress from the grassroots level?— grassroots level? absolutely - ivotal. grassroots level? absolutely pivotal- we _ grassroots level? absolutely pivotal. we have _ grassroots level? absolutely pivotal. we have had - grassroots level? absolutely pivotal. we have had more l grassroots level? absolutely i pivotal. we have had more than grassroots level? absolutely - pivotal. we have had more than half a million tickets that have been sold, more than half of that is women. at about 100,000 children. predominately girls and it's fantastic to see, it feels very different walking through that crown. but we need to make sure there is that grassroots support as well, so it does mean further investment in grocery facilities. we are putting about 230 million into grassroots facilities that would disproportionately benefit women because one of the problems we have is that sports facilities already booked out by men whose have them weeks, sometimes months and years in advance. then the women's teams come and say, great work and we play? 0pening and say, great work and we play? opening up school facilities as well, so we're making that change so

first time in a very time indeed. thank you very much. looks like the sun is shining on you in sheffield, just like it is here in wembley. a few hours ago there was a steady trickle of those early arrivals coming to the stadium. now, if we look along wembley way it is a real wave of people. this is what 87,000 people looks like. our sports reporter alex howell is here from bbc sport. going into this tournament, how fancy it with the england team?— england team? things were going well, england team? things were going well. sarina _ england team? things were going well, sarina wiegman _ england team? things were going well, sarina wiegman had - england team? things were going well, sarina wiegman had come i england team? things were going i well, sarina wiegman had come in. england team? things were going - well, sarina wiegman had come in. 11 wins in a row, then you think a home tournament is it going to be a help or hindrance. and they have really risen to the occasion, haven't they? i keep referring back to that first match at old trafford and the pressure of the crowd, 68,000. i think under the manager, she is very calm and measured and she has been

able to put that across to the play—offs. this is theirfirst able to put that across to the play—offs. this is their first major final since 2009 when they did play germany and they did lose. they have actually lost to germany more than any other nation, but they did play them and :. serena is going to have to tell them to forget all of that history isn't she? it weighs heavily on the men's game the fact that germany is that one rival that is so tricky to beat. what is it that she has done with the team, do you think that has made them so successful? i think it's because everyone knows theirjobs, she names the team in just under an hour and names the same line—up, then the same starting 11 all the way through, from group stages to final that will make the first coach, male or female to do that in major championships. every player knows what they have to do. and even when it is going against them, when they were losing against spain they put millie up front. in

the name or on their super sub russo. everyone knows what their roles are. and when you're playing to a plan the players seem to like it. �* ., _, , , it. and of course there is the olden it. and of course there is the golden itoot _ it. and of course there is the golden boot award _ it. and of course there is the golden boot award to - it. and of course there is the golden boot award to be - it. and of course there is the - golden boot award to be handed out today. who are the frontrunners for that? 50 today. who are the frontrunners for that? y ., ., today. who are the frontrunners for that? _, ., ~ today. who are the frontrunners for that? ., ~ ~ ., ., that? so you have beth mead for the lionesses, that? so you have beth mead for the lionesses. she _ that? so you have beth mead for the lionesses, she is _ that? so you have beth mead for the lionesses, she is on _ that? so you have beth mead for the lionesses, she is on six _ that? so you have beth mead for the lionesses, she is on six goals. - that? so you have beth mead for the lionesses, she is on six goals. i - lionesses, she is on six goals. i think she scored four hat tricks in the last nine months. herform has been really incredible. and then on the other side of the giant many you have alexandra popp and what is incredible about her story is that she didn't start on the first game of the tournament, she hadn't played in euros before she is 31. she came off the bench and at first match and when she scored there was a massive outpouring of emotion. she was punching the ground because she missed the last two competitions because of injury. so this is her real big chance. she may not have

even played many games because the player who started that game was first choice. and alexandra popp is coming and taken a chance and run it. she would like to say that both players, both six goals, both in the final. he was a —— i think the person who wins the boot will probably leave the trophy. i think even people _ probably leave the trophy. i think even people who _ probably leave the trophy. i think even people who are _ probably leave the trophy. i think even people who are not - probably leave the trophy. i think even people who are not that - even people who are not that bothered about the sport tuned in to watch an occasion such as this. but how does this success there, whether it is england or germany, how does it is england or germany, how does it benefit the clubs? those community groups that are playing football, how does it trickle down? it is about access. it's a whole thing of you if you can't see it you can't be it. we have children coming into this game who have probably never fought about football, we are seeing the women's team play in a national stadium in front of a sold—out crowd, setting a record for the biggest ever european final in

history. i think it is that really, we have seen a lot of people speak about the access to sport. if you have more people who are playing the sport, the sport is going to grow. and this is only going to increase the interest. players that have got targets to increase access for girls to play football within school. because at the moment it is well under and they're because at the moment it is well underand they're aiming because at the moment it is well under and they're aiming to get 75% of children with the chance to even play the game. bud of children with the chance to even play the game-— of children with the chance to even play the game. and we were talking a few minutes — play the game. and we were talking a few minutes to _ play the game. and we were talking a few minutes to go _ play the game. and we were talking a few minutes to go to _ play the game. and we were talking a few minutes to go to the _ play the game. and we were talking a few minutes to go to the sports - few minutes to go to the sports minister and he is that the government realises that they need money. to improve those venues and to improve the chaining, the referee and the coaching. because at the moment so much of it happens because of volunteers. moment so much of it happens because of volunteers— of volunteers. literally, because of that. if of volunteers. literally, because of that- if we — of volunteers. literally, because of that. if we think _ of volunteers. literally, because of that. if we think about _ of volunteers. literally, because of that. if we think about when - of volunteers. literally, because of that. if we think about when it - that. if we think about when it started for the women's game, the national team essential contacts in the investment now and the professional game. we can see the progression. i've been a game recently at the players union which represents all the players globally and it is about that money coming in

and it is about that money coming in and the opportunity to play games. so is there is a real disparity in the number of minutes the teams play, the players play. the teams that came to the semifinal, three out of four of them have made the most games a season. so it seems like it needs to level the playing field, and if you have access to games it leads to success. absolutely. you are going to keep an eye on that all team line—up. more sport is of course happening today, letsjoin my sport is of course happening today, lets join my colleague for the rest of the sport. he was at the commonwealth games in birmingham. good afternoon. one of the major stories at the commonwealth games today actually comes from one of the venues outside of the host city... at the velodrome in london where a serious crash led to the early session of the track cycling being abandoned. laura scott is at the lee valley velopark and can tell us more.

exactly, this was a horrific incident in the second qualifying in the men's scratch race, it was towards the end of the race that there was a multi—rider crash which ended with england's matt walls being catapulted over the barriers and into the stands with his bike. there was silence the velodrome a huge sense of shock at what had happened. and it took 1t0 minutes of matt walls being treated in the stands, screens but around them. there are also spectators being treated for injuries and shock as well. young children were very close to where he came over barriers. we now know that matt walls is alert and talking and that he and two other cyclists including matt bostock have been taken to hospital. this was a freak accident i've spoken to people and it's highly unusualfor a ride it out spoken to people and it's highly unusual for a ride it out you spoken to people and it's highly unusualfor a ride it out you leave the track. and whilst it was deeply shocking and concerning there's already a sense of the afternoon

session gets a way that it could have been much worse.- session gets a way that it could have been much worse. thank you very much indeed- — well away from those worrying scenes at the velodrome... england have won three gold medals on day three. the first came in the gymnastics. indeed the first of the two individual all around finals has brought a gold and silver for england in the men's event. jake jarman and james hall were the top two qualifiers and had a battle throughout... but it was jarman just 20 years old who came out on top for his second gold of the games with hall overcoming an ankle injury he said gave him 'immense pain' to win a second commonwealth silver in a row in this event. i don't usually get like it but i got a little bit emotional to be honest, it's quite overwhelming all the support of the crowd. i couldn't have asked for a better experience in a better composition. competing with james, you know, he has been through it. he is inspirational to

watch and get through. especially those last two pieces i don't how he did it. success too for the english para triathletes with a gold from each of the men's and women's events. dave ellis delivered on his status as the pre—race favourite. winning gold with his guide luke pollard. ellis is a four time world champion and took a lead on the bike that nobody could match. in the toyko paralympics he had to withdraw after his bike chain broke shortly afterwards they were followed home by katie crowhurst who claimed the title in the women's event along with her guide jessica fullagar. it was a gold that took england above new zealand into second in the medals table. northern ireland's chloe maccombe and guide catherine sands took silver. it is amazing, i would have do it without the home crowd and she has been amazing the whole race and training. everyone has been amazing. it has just been a really amazing

colletta smith, reports. delight at the court of appeal as the record is set straight. after all this time now the weight has been lifted. but this court victory isn't the end of the road. the post office took hundreds of thousands of pounds from subpostmasters like richard to cover what looked like shortfalls at branches, leaving people financially ruined. imprisoned while pregnant, seema lost her home too. she's been cleared for a year, but hasn't got a settlement from the post office yet. no money can replace whatever damage been done by post office to us, but at least we were able to put our life together, back home like we know where we're supposed to be. sharon was a subpostmaster in sunderland, accused of theft by the post office and only survived thanks to money from her family. i want my life back. i want to be able to walk about and hold my head up and say aye. finally no. they appeared me.

i got compensation because they did me wrong. what's the post office knew about that? the chair of the public inquiry into this scandal was so concerned about slow progress around compensation that he held the post office's feet to the fire in a special hearing. the post office have been forced to admit to this inquiry that they hadn't expected the thousands of applications for compensation, that they didn't have enough staff processing the claims that they've just been dealing with the simple refunds first, and that hundreds of victims haven't yet received an initial offer of compensation they have supported. pressure from the inquiry seemed to be working in parliament. there was good news for 500 subpostmasters who've been excluded from full compensation. postmasters will be contacted in the coming weeks to submit an application after which we aim to distribute the distribute the funds within a few weeks of receiving that application. but since the cabinet reshuffle a few weeks ago, there's now a new minister in charge. jane hunt says she's keen to press

on, but refused an interview with me about the issue of compensation in what's now become a scandal. within a scandal, victims are running out of money and time, while the complicated compensation process grinds slowly on. colletta smith, bbc news. 0ne one of the major stories at the commonwealth games today actually comes from one of the venues commonwealth games today actually comes from one of the venue of the city at the velodrome in london, where a serious crash led to the early session of the track cycling being abandoned. laura scott is at the velodrome in east london and can tell us more. talk us through what happened here. well, this was in the _ through what happened here. well, this was in the second _ through what happened here. -ii this was in the second qualifying heat of the men's scratch race. it was a truly horrific incident. there were a few laps of the race to go where there was a multi—rider crash at the end of the velodrome opposite where i am standing. it caused a

really loud bang and ended with england's mr wall is being catapulted over the barriers and into the stands with his bike. there was then silence here in the velodrome, as people were so shocked at what they had seen. matt walls ended up being treated in the stands for a0 minutes, ended up being treated in the stands forlto minutes, paramedics ended up being treated in the stands for a0 minutes, paramedics put up screens around him and organisers ended up banning the morning session and clearing the velodrome. there were also members of the public being treated for injuries and several of them, including young children, were visibly shocked. we know matt walls alert and talking and to other cyclists, including the isle of man's matt were sent to hospital. this was a freak accident, i am told by jason hospital. this was a freak accident, i am told byjason kenny it is highly unusualfor i am told byjason kenny it is highly unusual for cyclists to actually leave the track and whilst it was deeply shocking and concerning, i think there is a sense here is the afternoon session gets under way that it could have been much worse. under way that it could have been much worse-— under way that it could have been much worse. ., ,, i. ., ., ., much worse. thank you, laura scott, re ”ortin much worse. thank you, laura scott, reporting from _ much worse. thank you, laura scott, reporting from the _ much worse. thank you, laura scott, reporting from the velodrome - much worse. thank you, laura scott, reporting from the velodrome in - reporting from the velodrome in

time for venues you are. it has been a while since i have beenin it has been a while since i have been in one of these. it hasn't been in action for years, so you must have been about 12. you can really see how things have changed over time. one things have changed over time. one thing that is changing is the way we pay for transport. many of us are ditching tickets. ——... i never carry cash, but one day i went to the shop for this and didn't have it on, it was so embarrassing, but if

you use it on the bus or the london underground that is so embarrassing. things might get easier, with smart ticketing... one thing that's changing is the way we pay for public transport. many of us are ditching paper money and tickets and instead using smartphones or, like you, smartwatches to pay for our journey. i never carry cash but one time i went to pay for this at a shop and i didn't have it on. it was a bare wrist, so embarrassing. 0rfor the bus or london underground, it's easy. things might get easier with smart ticketing, which would spell the end for ticket barriers. instead, sensors will talk to an app which tracks your journey and automatically charges you. 0ne system using bluetooth beacons is already active in genoa and paul carter has been to take a look. 0ur cities are changing. and so the way we we navigate them is changing too. in many major cities around the world, technology being used for integrated fares and ticketing across modes of transport are now commonplace. but making such multimodal systems truly frictionless by removing the need to buy

tickets is taking things to the next level. and in the northern italian city of genoa, they are doing just that. in some instances, quite literally. in partnership with hitachi rail, the city is piloting a new system to allow seamless, hands—free payment and ticketing. all from a smartphone. the system works across the city's very networks including buses, subways, public lifts, and water buses. it's a unique city when it comes to the geography. we have the sea and we have mountains. we have up and down hills, we have elevators, whatever, so inside of the offer of the main operator, at least seven or eight means of transportation. that's really something unique. normally you have either bus, tram underground, that's it. you have literally everything from boats to elevators.

so we thought that if we managed to connect the city, which is really complex geography and landscape, we can scale up as much as we want. it uses bluetooth beacons placed throughout the city which automatically detect the journey a passenger makes and what mode of transport they use. it's pretty easy. we cover all stops of buses, underground, elevators, furniculars, track rails of the city, we equip them with bluetooth sensors and each and every mobile telephone nowadays is fitted with a bluetooth antenna and this communicates throughout the app to the sensor and localises the position of the travellers in association with a particular stop or a means of transportation. what you have to do is literally know where you want to go and board the means of transportation you want,

change intermodally between, i don't know, underground and buses and furniculars and at the end of the day, it calculates the best possible fare for the segment you travelled on. in addition to public transport, the app is also integrated with genoa's car sharing service. e—scooters and parking can be booked for through the app. as well as benefits to passengers, systems like this benefit the transport providers. the data collected can be used to calculate congestion and even emissions, allowing companies to dynamically adapt their services. passengers also have access to arrival times and even how crowded a bus or subway train maybe. the man responsible for public transport in genoa thinks this isjust the beginning. we only want to be on the leading edge of technology, trying

to understand what will be happening not next year, by the next three years, because you need time to get ready for technology. i think that the future, the public will ask for a lot of transformation, technology will be much more important. so i think the future with public transport 0n demand service will be much more important. so i think the future with public transport and new technology like electric, like driverless cars, so i think the future of transport will be a future of big technology change. the 360pass app and smart mobility system deployed in genoa is currently in trial but discussions are taking place with other cities around the world to expand its use further. perhaps one day hop on, hop off really will be the transport of the future.

there are lots of incredibly dangerous workplaces and a drilling rig is probably one of them. we've just had a talk with the safety manager who has pointed out everything on board that could potentially explode, and the only way to get people in when you are hundreds of miles away at sea is via a helicopter to do an inspection. so using robotics to monitor the space and keep an eye on things could be a solution. this particular rig in norway has been parked up for refurbishment so the robots can be put through their paces and get some practice in. this robot, known as weik, is making a 3—d map of the whole rig, a bit like a google street view. why is it called weik? weik — weik is a norwegian word which means to wake and watch. wake and watch, ok, so it's like a waking watch. when no—one's on the rig, weik is going around? exactly.

it is not producing live footage of the rig, so what would someone want a street view of this kind of environment for? it can be used on shore, so if you plan to do maintenance. it can take images every hour, for instance. there's a lot of information to gather. of course, for a human, it is easy to make mistakes. the robot can handle it much more easily. all this data allows the company running at the robots, cognite, to build a digital twin, a full, virtual 3—d model of the rig. that map allows the robots to run autonomously, and the images taken can be compared over time to see if something has changed and might need repair. it's very different to how things currently work. at the moment, i think it is every two years that we do a complete ex inspection of all the explosion—proof electrical boxes on the drill floor or various parts of the rig. if you had a robot on board, you could be doing heat tracing each month.

you could be doing ex inspection whenever you choose, in fact. and doing a full inspection means looking very closely in some very hard—to—reach places. as you can see on this rig back here, we have a very high drilling tower. you typically need to inspect that pretty often to look for loose bolts and things like that. the drone can do that with a remote control. it is very easy to do that. we can automate them by using our software. we also get the images in precisely the same location as the last time so it is very easy to see things happening over time. mapping is one thing but the robots also provide important safety functions. in the case of an explosion in a given area, we may not want to put personnel in that area, so we could send in the robot in that case to take readings. and down into the depths of the rig, the star of the show is being put through its paces as a safety inspector.

what spot is doing is doing a mission autonomously, which means that it is navigating an inspection round and gathering the data we are basically most interested in. and this is one of the rooms that allen said could be explosive. how confident are you that spot is not going to bump into anything? we are quite confident about that because it has a really good track record. also, it also has sensors mounted to it so that it can sniff any potential explosive gas the area, and whenever it detects some gas, it will immediately shut off its motors. and spot has stopped here at this control panel. what is going on here? what we can see here is lots of valves and a lot of gauges. what spot is doing is taking images of this instrument panel so that we can digitise this highly kind of analogue instrument. we are comparing it, making sure that everything

we see out here corresponds with what we have in the control system. so, if one of these levers is in the wrong position, spot will know? yes. aren't there already digital sensors in a place like this? surely you can get digital readings from... yeah. not necessarily from everything. there is lots of analogue instruments, such as this instrumentation panel right here. this is quite an old asset. why would you not 'ust instal , ., ., why would you notjust install cctv in every room and have a fixed camera on this rig? so, typically, we are seeing that fixing all cctv cameras, fixing lots of sensors, it's actually really, really expensive, and if you were to mount hundreds of different high—quality sensors all around the facility that would be a waste when you can mount one piece of sensors on a mobile robot that can gather all the data you are interested in. i guess this is also a lot more fun. yeah, definitely is.

until i visited this rig, i did not really appreciate how dangerous a workplace like this really could be, and while oil rigs could be coming to the end of their lives, using robots could help reduce the human cost of working on industrial sites like this in the meantime, although it does make the place a little lonelier for the handful of humans left behind. that was chris. in norway with... checks notes. another dog. that was the short version of click. the rest of it in the long version will be waiting for you on bbc iplayer.— you on bbc iplayer. that's it from us, we'll you on bbc iplayer. that's it from us. we'll be _ you on bbc iplayer. that's it from us, we'll be back— you on bbc iplayer. that's it from us, we'll be back next _ you on bbc iplayer. that's it from us, we'll be back next week, - us, we'll be back next week, goodbye.

hello there. if you've been keeping a close eye on weather for the week ahead, just recently, the trend remains the same, quiet into next weekend, but there will be a little bit of showery rain before that. we saw signs of that on sunday. cloudy skies across england and wales bringing rain, but clear blue sky and sunshine for much of scotland and northern ireland throughout the day. and you can see that quite clearly from space on the satellite picture where the best of the breaks were. i just want to point out this massive cloud as well out in the atlantic on sunday. by monday that's going to drift towards us and it will gradually start to bring some rain with it by the end of play. but before all that, we might start off a little on the cloudy side through lincolnshire, east anglia, south—east england. eventually that cloud and a few isolated showers melting away, lots of sunshine. but out to the west, that weather front starting to arrive. by the end of the afternoon.

it will bring some rain into northern ireland. so highs of 19 here, but still quite warm and humid across the south—east, despite that early cloud temperatures peaking at 27 celsius. so we're likely to see that rain spreading its way east through monday evening and overnight, turning quite showery. but there'll still be some heavier bursts. but you will notice once again, no significant rains south of the m4 corridor. so as we go into tuesday, it's a very messy story. there's going to be a lot of cloud around. there'll be outbreaks of showery rain from time to time, always really across england, wales and into scotland and northern ireland, never really across the far south here, temperatures will stay into the high 20s. that's 80 fahrenheit, but a little bit warmer with the south—westerly flow into eastern scotland. now, we haven't seen that much in the way of rain so far for the commonwealth games. there is the potential maybe for some rain to cause some interruptions perhaps during the day on wednesday. but it is a brief spell of interruptions really, because this weather front

here moving through cold front, it sinks south once again. it is going to weaken off. so obviously the commonwealth games around the birmingham area, so a few showers here. but look what happens as it pushes into east anglia and southeast england. don't expect any significant rain for the gardens yet again and temperatures may well peak once again into the high 20s. now, as we move towards the middle part of the week, we are likely to see this area of high pressure building. the wind direction swings around to more of a north westerly, a cooler flow that's going to continue to push in some sharper showers across the far north—west of scotland as well. and the best of the warmth will once again be in the south—east, not quite as warm, 25 degrees, 77 fahrenheit as we head into the weekend. we've still got high pressure and we've still got the winds coming in from a north—westerly direction on the whole. so the high pressure means a lot of dry weather to look out for, but those temperatures will be a little bit fresher than they have been just recently. more cloud into the far north in here. temperatures mid mid teens, perhaps 20 to 21t celsius

across england and wales. here, still dry, settled and sunny further ahead. the high will tend to slowly build in from the west. the position of where the high is sitting could be interesting in terms of the temperatures because obviously if we start to pick up more of a southerly flow, then those temperatures may well rise once again. but on the whole, the words haven't changed — dry for many. yes, some rain around in the north, a little bit cooler. the only exception perhaps is the far south—east. we might still tap into some of that warmth coming in from europe. take care.
