felt when germany equalised. talk us through this match, because to begin with, alex, that first half it was a little bit slow, a bit hesitant. understandably, they had got a long way to go? it understandably, they had got a long wa to no? . , , understandably, they had got a long wa toao? , understandably, they had got a long wa too? , , ., understandably, they had got a long wa to no? , , ., ., way to go? it was very cagey, no one wanted to give — way to go? it was very cagey, no one wanted to give advantage _ way to go? it was very cagey, no one wanted to give advantage to - way to go? it was very cagey, no one wanted to give advantage to the - wanted to give advantage to the other team. wanted to give advantage to the otherteam. for wanted to give advantage to the other team. for england, wanted to give advantage to the otherteam. for england, it wanted to give advantage to the other team. for england, it was a lot of pressure starting the match in the home country with a record attendance and playing against germany, who they have lost to more than any other nation and knowing what weight at the other end if you win, what could happen. then you had that amazing girl from ella toone and the incredible pass from keira walsh and she chipped the goalkeeper. before germany equalised, and chloe kelly coming on, who has had 11 months out with a serious knee injury and getting back into the squad in scoring the winner into the squad in scoring the winner in the final. into the squad in scoring the winner in the final-—

performance. sarina wiegman, he won in 2017 with holland, she has done it again with the lionesses. she didn't change the team wants during this tournament and they have repaid her confidence with the trophy. you are probably _ her confidence with the trophy. you are probably going to be surrounded by people. we have spoken to some german fans today, they are fairly sanguine about it, disappointed. but the fans we have spoken to, they have said the atmosphere was really friendly, even though it was fiercely competitive? it friendly, even though it was fiercely competitive? it was, you know what? _ fiercely competitive? it was, you know what? it _ fiercely competitive? it was, you know what? it had _ fiercely competitive? it was, you know what? it had a _ fiercely competitive? it was, you know what? it had a very - fiercely competitive? it was, you | know what? it had a very different vibe from normal football matches where you get lots of male fans, thatis where you get lots of male fans, that is what this tournament wanted, he wanted to a family friendly environment and i think they achieve that. they want to pass on the legacy to the next generation and who knows, we might go on and on as a force with england football. there were a few such german faces, but

they have won this competition ate out of the last ten times. as if you came down, they did congratulate us. this is england's time to shine now and we're going to make the most of it. a, and we're going to make the most of it. , ., and we're going to make the most of it. matt grayling, out on wembley wa , it. matt grayling, out on wembley way. thank _ it. matt grayling, out on wembley way. thank you — it. matt grayling, out on wembley way, thank you very _ it. matt grayling, out on wembley way, thank you very much. - it. matt grayling, out on wembley way, thank you very much. we - it. matt grayling, out on wembley| way, thank you very much. we can it. matt grayling, out on wembley - way, thank you very much. we can see the crowds making their way home. were not in a hurry to leave, alex, they wanted to savour the moment inside the stadium?— inside the stadium? definitely and seeint the inside the stadium? definitely and seeing the first _ inside the stadium? definitely and seeing the first trophy _ inside the stadium? definitely and seeing the first trophy lift - inside the stadium? definitely and seeing the first trophy lift for - inside the stadium? definitely and seeing the first trophy lift for an . seeing the first trophy lift for an england team in a major tournament for 56 years. hopefully they hope it is not as long as a next time, but it is a special moment and atmosphere.— it is a special moment and atmoshere. ., ., .,. atmosphere. you mention the fact that on social _ atmosphere. you mention the fact that on social media, _ atmosphere. you mention the fact that on social media, a _ atmosphere. you mention the fact that on social media, a lot - atmosphere. you mention the fact that on social media, a lot of - atmosphere. you mention the fact that on social media, a lot of the i that on social media, a lot of the mayo football players were sending messages of good luck, good will this morning, that has turned into lots of social media messages of congratulations. bittersweet, though, if you have been playing

she did, it was the right call. sue anstiss is the author of game on: the unstoppable rise of women's sport. she gave me her reaction as the players waited to lift the trophy. yeah, so elated, so elated, for them and the girls and everything that's gone before. i know others have said it, but, you know, all those women and men that work so hard, invested to make this happen today. so the "unstoppable rise" — they've won this piece of silverware, the first major one in 56 years. nobody can argue with that, and particularly when you think of the obstacles so many girls and women have to get over or around in order to be able to play. indeed, yeah. it is quite remarkable, really, for all that time that women weren't able to play, that they've made these incredible bounds. and i think it's kind of down to people now to go and, off the back of this, go and watch the wsl — it starts again in august — and to get out and support women's sport.

we've clearly seen how passionate we are about women's football, so people to show in action by going to watch more games next season. yeah, it would be nice, i think, wouldn't it, that some of the smaller clubs and the professional clubs, rather than just the national side, benefit from this? yeah, absolutely. so, the wsl clubs... i'm on the board of lewes fc, a club in the championship down on the south coast, who equally invest in their men's and women's team, the only club in the world to do so. so we're already getting people booking tickets to come along to ourfirst home game. so we're seeing the reaction right through the wsl to championship clubs too, which is fantastic. the queen has sent a message to the team. "my warmest congratulations, and those of my family, go to you all on winning the european women's football championships. it is a significant achievement for the entire team, including your support staff.

the championships and your performance in them have rightly won praise. however, your success goes far beyond the trophy you have so deservedly earned. you have all set an example that will be an inspiration for girls and women today, and for future generations. it is my hope that you will be as proud of the impact you have had on your sport as you are of the result today." we are going to speak to a couple of england fans in a moment, but first let's go to matt grayling he was out on wembley way. if let's go to matt grayling he was out on wembley way-— let's go to matt grayling he was out on wembley way. if you look behind me, the on wembley way. if you look behind me. they have _ on wembley way. if you look behind me, they have just _ on wembley way. if you look behind me, they have just as _ on wembley way. if you look behind me, they have just as reopened - me, they have just as reopened wembley way, so we need to go a bit to decide are else we will be trampled. i do have two england fans with me now, you havejust come out at the stadium, you play football, we had so much about this tournament, they want to inspire the nation, that is you guys, so talk to

0ur guestsjoining me tonight are the author and journalist rachel shabi and kate maltby, columnist at the i newspaper. a man has been charged with murdering a nine—year—old girl who was stabbed to death in a town centre. lilia valutyte was found with a stab wound in fountain lane in boston, lincolnshire, on thursday. she had reportedly been playing hula hoop with her younger sister in the street before being stabbed. lincolnshire police said lithuanian national deividas skebas, 22, had been charged with her murder and was due to appear before magistrates on monday. the prince of wales accepted a payment of £1 million from the family of 0sama bin laden according to a report in the sunday times. prince charles accepted the money from two of the infamous al-qaeda leader's half—brothers in 2013, two years after he was killed. 0ur royal correspondentjonny dymond says it doesn't appear that he's lincolnshire police said lithuanian

national deividas skebas, 22, the prince of wales accepted a payment of £1 million from the family of 0sama bin laden according to a report in the sunday times. prince charles accepted the money from two of the infamous al-qaeda leader's half—brothers in 2013, two years after he was killed. 0ur royal correspondentjonny dymond says it doesn't appear that he's done anything technically wrong. there are lots of good, ethical and logical explanations, legal explanations for what's going on. but it is not a good look for the heir to the throne. there's no doubt about that. the palace says this was a decade ago. all the necessary checks were made. you don't disown an entire family because of the actions of one son. and it disputes a lot of the detail in the newspaper stories today, but it does not dispute the donation. and when i asked a source at the palace if he thought that donation would have been made had they known it was going to be made public, there was a very long silence. there's been a drip, drip, drip of revelations about how the prince's charities have raised funds in the past, and it is a very unhappy backdrop to his work. the two candidates in the race to be the next leader of the conservative party —

and the next prime minister have promised changes to the nhs and the education system, ahead of the next phase of the contest. 0ur political correspondent, ione wells, told my colleague frankie mccamley more about this earlier. start with rishi sunak, he's pledged that he would introduce £10 fines for people who miss gp or hospital appointments more than once. now in terms of how this would work in practice, his team have said that it would be up to gp surgeries and hospital trusts to use their own discretion and decide if someone had a reasonable excuse or not to miss an appointment. but he argues that this policy would try and tackle some of those nhs backlogs by reducing the number of missed appointments. it has got some criticism though, both by liz truss' campaign but also by some gps as well who have said it would add more bureaucracy for gps and potentially hit more vulnerable patients more. now liz truss has also announced that she would like to reform the education system in england. she would want to move to a system where people applied to university after getting their qualifications rather than before? she's also had quite an intriguing policy which has got lots of pick up today saying that any student who gets the top grades would automatically be invited to interview at oxford or cambridge university. 0k, interesting.

and also today, we've seen further backing for liz truss. what does that mean for rishi sunak�*s campaign? that's right. so there was an intervention today by a former cabinet minister, the former northern ireland secretary, brandon lewis. he's said that he is going to back liz truss in this leadership contest and earlier he told the bbc some of the reasons behind that. i'm backing liz because she's somebody who gets things done. she's determined about delivering for the whole of the united kingdom. i've seen that working with her for northern ireland, her determination to make sure the whole of the united kingdom is whole and as a conservative unionist party leader, which the winner will be, i think that's hugely important. i've known liz a long time as norfolk mps and candidates, we've worked together and what i've consistently seen is someone who cares about her community, her country and her colleagues and wants to get things done. so i'm supporting liz because i think she can bring the party together. she's already got backing from all different parts of our great wide open tent of a party, and she gets things done. so that's the former northern ireland secretary brandon lewis saying why he's backing liz truss now.

he was a bit critical of rishi sunak, claiming earlier when he endorsed liz truss that rishi sunak had potentially put up barriers towards plans to override part of the northern ireland protocol, part of that brexit deal signed with the eu. now rishi sunak�*s camp have strongly denied that, saying that rishi sunak has pledged to continue with those plans if the eu doesn't negotiate new arrangements to try and sort out some of the issues with trade between great britain and northern ireland that that protocol has caused. now both camps, obviously, as we've discussed this weekend, pushing out lots of policy announcements to try and woo over members. and that's really because ballots go out to conservative party members tomorrow. and there is an expectation that while this campaign is going to go on for weeks to come, next week is really crucial, with lots of members expected to vote quite early. the chair of the public inquiry investigating the post office scandal has called for the process of compensation for victims to be sped up. more than 600 subpostmasters were given criminal convictions when a faulty it system made it look

like money was missing from their branches — 81 people have now had their convictions quashed. 0ur consumer affairs correspondent 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 sub—postmasters like richard to cover what looked like shortfalls at branches, leaving people financially ruined. imprisoned while pregnant, seema lost her home too. she has been cleared for a year but hasn't got a settlement from the post office yet. no money can replace what damage has been done by the post office to us. but at least we would be able to have a life together back home, where we are supposed to be. sharon was a sub—postmaster 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 and say, i got compensation because they did me wrong. what does the post office feel 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 thousands of applications for compensation, that they did not have enough staff processing the claims, that they have just been dealing with simple refunds first and that hundreds of victims have not yet received an initial offer of compensation. they have supported... the pressure from the inquiry seemed to be working. in parliament, there was good news for 500 sub—postmasters who have been excluded from full compensation. postmasters will be contacted in the coming weeks to submit an application, after which we aim to distribute the funds within a few weeks of receiving that application.

but since the cabinet reshuffle, a few weeks ago, there is now a new minister in charge. jane hunt says she is keen to press on but refused an interview with me about the issue of compensation. in what has now become a scandal within a scandal, victims are running out of money and time, as the rather complicated compensation process grinds slowly on. colletta smith, bbc news. the city of mykolaiv in the south of ukraine has come under sustained attack from russian missiles overnight. the city's mayor said it was probably the heaviest bombardment since the start of the invasion in february. among the casualties is one of ukraine's richest businessmen. ukrainian media say he was killed along with his wife when a missile hit their home overnight. search and rescue crews continue to look for survivors in the us state of kentucky, where record flooding has wiped out entire communities.

at least 26 people have died — although the state's governor warned the number could rise. president biden has declared the floods "a major disaster" — and there's a warning of more rain today. 0ur north america correspondent peter bowes has the latest. flowing water, powerful enough to sweep away entire homes. torrential rain has wreaked havoc. some areas received more than 20 centimetres in a 24—hour period. swollen streams and mudslides have torn through several communities with devastating results. people's lost their homes, can't get to theirjobs. i mean, it's devastating. this is probably the worst devastating i have ever seen. some areas are difficult for rescuers to reach because local roads have been badly damaged and are impassable. cars engulfed in the muddy waters. there is widespread poverty in the affected areas. making matters worse, tens of thousands of people are now without electricity.

the biggest concern is the many people who are still missing. we continue to pray for the families that have suffered an unfathomable loss, some having lost almost everyone in their household. this is still an emergency situation. we are in search—and—rescue mode. again that count will continue to go up. we don't lose this many people in flooding. this is a real tough one. rescuers fear the search for survivors and bodies could last several weeks. scenes like this are becoming more familiar. this part of kentucky has had flash floods before but nothing on this scale. we didn't have no time to get nothing out of my little apartment in the basement. i lost everything, twice. this makes twice that i've lost everything. and i ain't the only one. we're going to have to have some help, more than what they brung

in here the last flood.
