with an hour gone, it was an audacious chip by manchester united's ella toone, an absolute belter that broke the deadlock, sending fans in central london wild. but less than 20 minutes later, germany's lina magull slotted it home, taking it to extra time. england needed to regroup. then came super sub chloe kelly, at first missing then blasting in herfirst international goal and the one that landed it for england. her celebration earned her a booking, no doubt worth it as it looks set to become one of the most iconic images of modern women's sport, encompassing this epic win months after recovering from an acute knee injury. chanting. after many years of hurt, the relief was palpable. all tournament, we've had so much support from our friends, and it's really

elections in august 2023 the speaker of the us house of representatives, nancy pelosi, is beginning a tour of asia — with no mention of a possible visit to taiwan. there has been intense speculation that she may visit the self—ruled island. taiwan is claimed by china — which has warned of "serious consequences" if she goes there. at least 28 people are now known to have died in severe flooding in the us state of kentucky. storms have pounded the east of the state and the governor said he expected the number of fatalities to rise. more heavy rain is expected on tuesday. thousands of people in northern california have been evacuated as fast—moving wildfires destroyed homes. the mckinney fire near the border with oregon has already scorched tens of thousands of acres and fire officials have said none of it has been contained. no injuries have been reported so far.

one of the ukraine's most prominent businessmen, whose company is responsible for much of the infrastructure for its grain exports, has been killed in a russian missile strike. an adviser to president zelensky said he believed 0leksiy vadatursky was deliberately targeted when his home was hit in the southern city of mykolayiv. it's a city which lies on the main route to the black sea port of 0desa, and mykolayiv has been bombarded frequently by russia, but saturday night's strikes were sustained and intense. 0ur correspondent, andrew harding, saw it happen. the end of a punishing night in mykolaiv. the heaviest bombardment yet for this key front—line city. a few missiles appeared to be hitting deliberate targets but mostly, this was the usual

random russian blitz. cluster bombs and cruise missiles in residential neighbourhoods. mykolaiv�*s hospitals filling up, the city's defenders standing firm. i think everybody get used to the war. we are sad about our victims and the injured people but we are full of will to win and to fight. and that fight is escalating. ukraine has begun attacking these strategic bridges to trap russian forces and pave the way for a counteroffensive towards the crimean peninsula. but for now, many civilians in mykolaiv are still staying put, queueing stoically for drinking water and somehow, living with unbearable risk. how do you get used to this? as shocking as these scenes are, the fact is they've become essentially a daily

routine here in mykolaiv. and every night, thousands of people go to sleep wondering whether this time, the rockets, the missiles, the cluster bombs will hit their building. last night, two rockets landed outside the yakovenko's apartment. an air raid siren saved their lives, prodding them to move away from the windows. but 0lga is struggling. "how can we survive this?," she wonders. "we can't afford to move somewhere safer." instead, they patch things up and brace themselves for another unpredictable night. andrew harding, bbc news, in mykolaiv. there are fears more parts of the huge grain silos in beirut port which fell down on sunday could collapse imminently. the silos were badly damaged in a deadly explosion two years ago. officials have warned the public to stay well clear of the port in beirut

as wendy urquhart reports. this is the moment part of the 48—metre high structure hit the ground, causing a huge dust cloud that spread to 1,500 metres from the port of beirut. translation: | live in front of the silos, | and we were on the balcony, when suddenly parts collapsed, and the thick dust cover the area. but thank god we were not affected, as the wind was blowing from the other direction. the silos caught fire nearly three weeks ago, afterfermenting grain ignited in the searing heat of summer, and since then, helicopters have been buzzing back and forth, dropping dry powderfrom on high, in a bid to douse the flames. the accident happened almost exactly two years after the silos were severely damaged, in a deadly chemical explosion that killed 200 people, and injured at least 6000 others.

in april, the government ordered the demolition of what is left of the silos, but that plan was shelved, after relatives of those who perished called for them to be preserved as a memorial to loved ones, which didn't go down well with some. translation: | think i it is a pity if they are not demolished completely, as they might hurt someone in the future if other bits collapsed, and from the smoke from the fermented grains. the silos contain 3000 tonnes of wheat and corn, and experts say removing it could bring the whole lot down. the army has been put on standby, in case they do collapse, and anyone considering travelling in the vicinity is advised to wear a mask, just in case this happens all over again. wendy urquhart, bbc news. stay with us on bbc news, still to come: a look at the legacy of the former star trek star, nichelle nichols, best known
