6:03 am
# it's coming home, it's coming - home, it's coming home, it's coming! in the electric atmosphere of the national stadium, sarina wiegman had yet again put herfaith in an unchanged team. she predicted a physical match and she was spot—on. that should be a foul. one of them was. butjust when england thought they were in control, the best chance of the first half fell to germany. what a scramble! earps grabs, somehow england survive. the sight of mary earps smothering the ball was a welcome one. ten seconds of holding my breath there. the second half came and it was time to send on the super subs. could toone and russo make the difference again? a perfectly weighted pass found ella in acres and she knewjust what to do. ella toone is through here. ella toone for england! oh, yes! wembley erupted.
6:04 am
everyone was on their feet for this unbelievable piece of vision. we have lift off! but, come on, this is germany. did you think they would back down? england's goal was living a charmed life and that was their final warning as the deutsch express train kept on coming. equaliser for germany. extra time loomed. we'd all been here before. any mistake now would be punished, any goal could prove decisive. and england had a corner. cue pandemonium. another substitute, chloe kelly, battled back from injury to keep her euros dream alive. no wonder the top was off, swirled round and round in delight. a delirious wembley held its collective breath until the final whistle. it felt like an age. it's all over!
6:05 am
but, finally, the moment a nation had been waiting for arrived. it doesn't seem real. i'm absolutely buzzing my head off. best day of my life. centres toddle i can't even explain what it feels like. just look what it means to the players and what it means to the fans. for the generations that came before them and the generations that will come after them. it's impossible to overstate the impact of this win. the legacy of this tournament is the change in society, it is everything that we have done. we have brought everybody together, we have people at games. the legacy of this team is winners. and that is the start of the journey. as the players celebrated, there was a moment of reflection for the first coach in history to win the euros with
6:06 am
two different teams. i'm kissing this little armband that was my sister's and my sister passed away during our prep camps. and i really miss, because she was my mate. but i think she was here, i think she was on the crossbar. she would have been here. she went to every game. she would be really, really proud of me and i am really proud of her, too. the queen told the players their success goes beyond this trophy. the lionesses have set an example to the nation. nevertheless, there's a new name in the history books and it belongs to the hosts on the night football finally came home. natalie pirks, bbc news, wembley. it was so emotional watching. we will hear a lot about the legacy and what this will encourage other people to do. it is the theme of the morning about how transformational this could be for the sport. the change this hopefully will bring. the celebrations have continued on social media. the team's official account posted this picture of golden boot winner
6:07 am
beth mead surrounded by her trophies. and this picture was taken of beth's proud parents watching from inside wembley. look at them holding hands. the queen sent her message of congratulations, saying, "you have all set an example that will be an inspiration for girls and women today, and for future generations." the lionesses also had support from the men's team. here's mason mount and phil foden filming their reactions to that historic win. going nuts. let's take a look at how some of today's papers are reporting the historic victory. "history makers" is the mirror's headline above a picture of the team collecting the trophy. "no more years of hurt" says the metro in reference to a certain song you may have heard once or twice last night. the guardian looks to the future instead of the past — and calls the women game—changers
6:08 am
who mark a new era in english football. the daily star says england's lionesses were simply "roarsome". and if you're wondering how the german media cope with a rare footballing defeat — here's the website of de bild. it claims the referee missed a handball by captain leah williamson. the main headline reads, "even with video proof, we were robbed." so that is what it feels like. we know that feeling all too well. we know that feeling all too well. we will talk about the celebrations. john is in trafalgar square. i have a strange feeling it is going to get very busy and very loud. someone is still sticking the carpet down! iam
6:09 am
down! i am alone at the moment but it will not be the case at lunchtime with a celebration planned. this fan parker's been operational throughout the tournament. there will be a lot of fans on a first—come, first served, because the england team will be on that stage later and there will be a special programme on bbc one at 12:35pm. we will see the players arise before that. they will be on stage around 12:1i0pm today. 7000 fans will be allowed in later. tickets up for grabs on a first—come, first—served basis at 11am and you will get to enjoy it all over again. the tournament has been about the fans and achievements of the england side, it has united a nation. as far as the atmosphere in the stadiums, that was created by the stadiums, that was created by the fans and that was a special thing about the match yesterday.

6:21 am
truss hitting back accusing the former chancellor of flip—flop in, saying it is a u—turn and people cannot wait that long, they need tax cuts in seven weeks, not seven years. this does not change the fundamental approach from rishi sunak. he has argued inflation needs to be brought under control first before tax cuts are brought in. liz truss arguing immediate cuts are needed to get the economy growing more quickly. members can now vote, ballot papers will arrive from this morning and they can vote online, as well. several weeks to go and the candidates will cross the country trying to convince conservative party members they deserve their vote and there are hustings tonight in exeter. i vote and there are hustings tonight in exeter. ., , vote and there are hustings tonight in exeter. . , ., ., in exeter. i am sure we will hear a lot more about _ in exeter. i am sure we will hear a lot more about this. _ in exeter. i am sure we will hear a lot more about this. for— in exeter. i am sure we will hear a lot more about this. for now, - in exeter. i am sure we will hear a i lot more about this. for now, thank you. the court of appeal will hold a last—minute hearing today in the case of archie battersbee — just hours before doctors are due to withdraw his life support.
6:22 am
the 12—year—old was found unconscious at his home in southend nearly four months ago. o'clock this afternoon afterjudges upheld their decision. now, a united nations committee is asking the royal london hospital to keep treating archie while it examines the case. one of ukraine's richest businessmen has been killed along with his wife, during a russian attack on the southern city of mykolaiv. 0leksiy vadatursky and his wife died when a russian missile hit their home. he owned a large agricultural company that produced and exported grain. president volodymyr zelensky described his death as a great loss. motoring group the rac is urging the government to do more to help drivers with high fuel costs — accusing ministers of providing some of the least generous help in europe. petrol prices in the uk have hit record highs this year, partly down to russia's invasion of ukraine.
6:23 am
here's our business correspondent, marc ashdown. to motorists, it can sometimes feel like fuel prices go up like a rocket and come down like a feather. after the spring spike, they are now starting to come down, but could the government be doing more to help? research by the rac shows the 5p a litre cut in fuel duty in march is the second—lowest reduction compared to 13 european neighbours. fuel tax in portugal has been cut by the equivalent of 16p a litre. in italy, it's 21p, and in germany, 25p of tax on every litre has been scrapped. 45% of your fill—up is tax. this is why we wanted the government go further the government to go further to lower prices for drivers, because clearly it has scope. and, of course, it is benefiting incredibly from the vat take because the higher the wholesale price goes, the more vat the chancellor connects. retailers are already starting to make reductions.
6:24 am
on friday, asda led the way, cutting the price of unleaded by 5p and diesel by 3p at all 323 of its forecourts across the uk. others are already following. but it can't come soon enough for motorists. with wholesale prices steadily falling, prices at the pump should at the pump should follow, and the treasury says the recent fuel duty cut has already saved the average driver £100 a year. but with any holiday—makers driving on the continent this summer likely to pay 20p to 30p a litre less to fill up, returning home could be a shock. marc ashdown, bbc news. the actor nichelle nichols has died aged 89. she was best known for playing lieutenant uhura in star trek — and a particular catchphrase. alien frequencies open. sometimes i think if i here that word frequency
6:25 am
once more i will cry. she was one of the first black actors in the us to play an authority figure — and she was also among the first to portray an inter—racial kiss. she was later employed by nasa to encourage more women and african—americans to become astronauts. iam not i am not sure she was as keen on that kiss as he was. it takes you back. an incredible actor who changed lots of things during her time. actor who changed lots of things during hertime. no time actor who changed lots of things during her time. no time travel here. time to get the news where you are. good morning, i'm asad ahmad. so it's happened — andjust like 1966, it all happened at wembley. it's in! and as for the winning goal, it was scored by a west londoner
6:26 am
who was brought up not that far from wembley, in hanwell. chose kelly used to make two hour round trips as a teenager to go training at arsenal. before that, she was playing at queen's park rangers. honestly, it's amazing. thank you everyone that came out to support us. this is what dreams are made of as a young girl watching women's football. now this. wow, it's unbelievable. and as the goal went in, thousands of people in trafalgar square watching the game, celebrated. and there will be more celebrations in a few hours' time as the england squad — together with the trophy — head to trafalgar square early this afternoon. 7,000 fans will be allowed in the square to enjoy the spectacle. they'll will be allowed in, for free, on a first come, first served basis from 11am. if you want to head into town for that, orjust be a part of the atmosphere, i'll give you the latest tube situation after this. a short walk from trafalgar
6:27 am
square is the flagship store of greggs bakery. the reason it's in the news is that westminster council has refused it permission to start opening all night. the store in leicester square wanted to open 2a hours a day selling food and nonalcoholic drinks, but the council accepted police concerns that it would increase anti—social behaviour in the area. now the tube board. now the weather with rich davis. hello, good morning. it is a fairly cloudy start for many of us today, with the chance of a few showers about. things will probably stay dry as we head through the next few days or so. despite this front moving in, i think we're going to escape most of the wet weather, although it is going to be drawing in some rather humid air as we make your way through to tuesday and wednesday, too.
6:28 am
but for the here and now, quite overcast, as i say, through the course of this morning. we do have the chance maybe ofjust seeing one or two showers dotted about through the morning, perhaps into the early part of this afternoon. but by the mid part of the afternoon, it's looking a lot drier and brighter, with that sunshine returning. temperatures today could be up at 27 degrees celsius. so we hold on to those pretty warm conditions. through this evening, well, we'll hold on to the sunshine as well. some sunny spells for the early parts of the evening. 0vernight, it's staying largely dry, with some cloud beginning to build up again by the early hours of tomorrow morning. the temperatures not really dropping away too much at all, down to 16 at the lowest. so it is going to be quite a warm and muggy feel as we make our way into tuesday. through tomorrow, a pretty similar day. we'll have some cloud through the morning, but some sunshine by the afternoon. turning warmer as we head through this week. but more sunshine and cooler conditions by the end of this week. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. bye for now.

6:44 am
butjust ten weeks ago, he broke his foot. so where he'd push, instead, he faded. a different englishman pounced. james wilby wins gold! and that isjust a massive result in his life. james wilby took the chance and peaty missed a medal, but kept perspective. when it comes down to the race, sometimes it doesn't go to plan. but you know, that's a lack of training, as you said, lack of racing. i'm a fighter. and, you know, sometimes you have got to have these moments where... ...to keep on fighting, really. at the end of the day, we're both, you know, incredible racers. we all know what adam's capable of. and, you know, taking your opportunities, racing the best race you can on the night. but, yeah, i'm so happy, so thrilled. to win gold meant so much to england's alice tyne. the para—swimmer had her leg amputated in january. she did itjust to ease the pain she felt. now things were so different. and few have earned a medal quite like her.
6:45 am
i'vejust, you know, i've been learning to walk again, and i didn't even think i'd be able to race at the end of this season. but i'm so grateful that team england let me come here and race, and i... ..yeah, i'll try not to cry. i can't believe that i just won that. for the athletes and the nations, these games can change the mood. james ball had made a breakthrough. he'd won three silvers before. now in the tandem sprint, got his first gold. it was wales' first of these games too. at sutton park in triathlon, england were dominance. golds in the mixed relay and in two para—triathlons, where david ellis and katie crowhurst stayed in sync with their guides. they shared the spotlight. a place jake jarman's been thrust into. atjust 20, he's risen to it. it's a hugely impressive all—around performance by the 20—year—old.
6:46 am
jarman won all—around gold, then stood with his team—mates. james hall had been in pain, but got silver. it's why these are the friendly games, and forjarman, a first platform to make his name. joe lynskey, bbc news. one of the story to bring you up—to—date with. england cyclist matt walz has been released from hospital after he was involved in a nasty crash in which he and his bike flew into the crowd at the velodrome. he had stitches in his forehead and scrapes and bruises, but thankfully no major injuries. two spectators were treated at the scene. laura kenny said she had spoken to a husband jason in the aftermath of the incident saying she wasn't sure she wanted to carry on. she has called for bigger barriers or screens to be fitted in velodromes with riders reaching higher speeds. let's have a look at the medals table.
6:47 am
england are second with 11 gold medals, half of australia's telly. scotland are seventh. words are intent thanks to that gold medal from james wall in the velodrome. northern ireland joint 15th. fingers crossed for them today in the pommel horse. some sport away from the commonwealth games. celtic laid down in early as they begin the defence of their scottish premiership title with a 2—0 over aberdeen. look at this finish from charter. max verstappen will enjoy his summer holiday, after extending his formula one championship lead to 80 points by winning the hungarian grand prix. the dutchman produced one of the drives of his career to finish first after starting from tenth. poor strategy decisions saw the ferraris slip away, allowing lewis hamilton to finish second ahead of his mercedes team mate george russell, who'd started from pole.
6:48 am
england's cricketers lost their series deciding twenty20 match against south africa by 90 runs in southampton. back at the commonwealth games, they will be back on the bikes at the velodrome. adam peaty seeking redemption in the pool. and it is england against scotland in the semifinals of the bowls players at leamington spa. here the sport nearest to me, which i'm looking forward to as well, because the sun is coming up, you have got the beach volleyball. all the sand imported. afterwards it is going to be taken to the alexander stadium to become a permanent beach volleyball facility for everybody to use. we are hoping for everybody to use. we are hoping for beach weather today. micah, that is a good point. so we
6:49 am
find out if we have got it or not. carol is the weather. good morning. many of us will have sunshine today. at the moment of the temperature in birmingham is 13 degrees. it is a bit nippy in the highlands and around the trossachs. four to 5 degrees. as we push towards london, 18. and in manchester, only nine. the forecast for today is one of sunny spells for most of us. we do have some rain from the west later on. high pressure is in charge of the weather. it is a weak ridge. it is keeping things fairly settled. we have a clutch of fronts coming in from the south—west. they are going to introduce some rain and thicker cloud and strengthening winds. first thing this morning on the east, there is a fair bit of cloud. the odd shower. slowest here from east anglia. —— slowest duty. the rain

comes in from the west later in the afternoon as well as those strengthening winds. temperatures today could get up to 27 in the far south—east. 22 in newcastle and 20 across north—east scotland. forthe newcastle and 20 across north—east scotland. for the commonwealth games it is looking dry. look at the temperatures. 2a, 20 5 degrees, light breezes. through the evening and overnight period, the rain continues to merge quite quickly across the country. you can see the tail end of it bringing some rain into reasoning that, the midlands, into reasoning that, the midlands, into the south—west. it will be fairly murky in the south—west itself. but are dry with some clear spells in the south—east. it is going to feel quite muggy tonight as well despite the breeze. into tomorrow, we still have all of this mist and mark on the coasts and hills. we also still have the dregs of that weather front bringing some spots of rain across parts of the midlands, wales and eastern england
6:51 am
at times. to the north of that, a few showers in the north—west. if really breezy day. one thing worth noting is the direction of that breeze. it is coming in from the south—west, which is a one direction. that is reflected in the temperatures. 2a in aberdeen, 27 in london. it is going to be —— it is going to feel quite muggy. as we head from tuesday into wednesday, the weather front is still with us in the far south—east. another one coming on across the north west. it is going to be a windy day. through the day the wind direction is going to change. it will veer from a south—westerly two more of a north—westerly, which is a fresher direction. we are going to see a fair bit of cloud, some showery rain moving from the west to the east across scotland. the remains of that weather front in the far south—west. on either side of that we will see some sunshine. highest temperatures in the south at 28 or 29. 15 in
6:52 am
stornoway. thank you, carol. see you in half an hour. we should find out this month how much higher our energy bills will rise to in october. speculation is growing and there are fears about how people will cope. ben's here with the details. morning. the difficulty through all these price rises has been planning. knowing with certaintyjust how much more expensive things are going to cost. we should learn a bit more about gas and electricity bills this week. good morning. this is the figure now. just under £2000, if you are in a household using a typical amount of energy and you're on a default tariff paying by direct debit. when this came in on april 1st, it was a 54% increase. but the end is not in sight. the latest forecast from cornwall insight predicts that in october bills could rocket again
6:53 am
to over £3000. these energy experts will update that figure this week, and it could well go even higher. their forecast is usually a pretty good guide to what ofgem, the regulator, ends up doing. charities are worried. they say if this figure is right, it could push around 8.2 million people — or one in three british households — into energy poverty. that's when homes spend more than 10% of their total income on energy. that figure has been calculated after considering the impact of the £400 discount due to every household in the uk. that will start arriving in october, and there's extra cash for the most vulnerable. but is it enough? this could have massive implications for customers, particularly the poorest households. if they move towards a three month cap, it could be very likely that could happen as quickly as january and we could see significant increases in bills in
6:54 am
january again, in addition to october. this could be devastating for people and would happen most immediately after christmas. we are calling on the regulator to pause their reforms and perhaps implement them when there is slightly milder weather april onwards. the other thing we learn this week is just how often the price cap changes. at the moment it is every six months. but the regulator thinks every three months would be better. it would mean when the wholesale price does go down, our household bills would drop sooner. but that isn't expected to happen any time soon, so it could mean is anotherjump in our bills injanuary. the government told us... "while no government can control global gas prices, we are providing £37 billion of help for households, including the £400 discount on energy bills, and £1,200 of direct support for the most vulnerable households." we'd love to know your thoughts on this one. how is it affecting you? what are
6:55 am
you doing to try to save on your gas and electricity? get in touch. we will get the latest energy cap decision on august 26, a few weeks. it won't take effect until october. in normal times people may feel, you know what is coming. you might try to put something aside. at the moment people don't have it to put aside. it is the uncertainty, isn't it? that is the difficulty everybody has to face at any moment, which makes everything more stressful. and there is a lot of uncertainty because we don't know how much fuel prices could go up as well. a lot of pressure. thank you. we'll talk soon. pressure. thank ou. we'll talk soon. , ., thank you. we'll talk soon. everyone feelin: the thank you. we'll talk soon. everyone feeling the squeeze. _ thank you. we'll talk soon. everyone feeling the squeeze. back _ thank you. we'll talk soon. everyone feeling the squeeze. back caught i thank you. we'll talk soon. everyone feeling the squeeze. back caught the headlines at seven. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. time to get the news where you are. good morning from bbc london. so one big story dominating the entire nation today and it centres on wembley.
6:56 am
it's in! and that winning goal was scored by a west londoner who was brought—up not that from wembley — in hanwell. choe kelly used to make two—hour round trips as a teenager to go training at arsenal. before that, she was playing at queen's park rangers. it is amazing. thank you everyone that came out to support us. this is what dreams are made of as a young girl watching women's football. now this. wow, it's unbelievable. and as the goal went in, thousands of people in trafalgar square watching the game celebrated. and there will be more celebrations in a few hours as the england squad — together with the trophy — head to trafalgar square early this afternoon. 7,000 fans will be allowed in the square to enjoy the spectacle. they'll be allowed in for free on a first come, first served basis from 11am.
6:57 am
if you want to head into town for that orjust be a part of the atmosphere, i'll give you the latest tube situation after this. a short walk from trafalgar square is the flagship store of greggs bakery. the reason it's in the news is that westminster council has refused it permission to start opening all night. the store in leicester square wanted to open 2a hours a day selling food and non—alcoholic drinks, but the council accepted police concerns that it would increase anti—social behaviour in the area. now the tube board. there's a good service on the tubes this morning now the weather with rich davis. hello, good morning. it is a fairly cloudy start for many of us today, with the chance of a few showers about. things will probably stay dry as we head through the next few days or so. despite this front moving in, i think we're going to escape
6:58 am
most of the wet weather, although it is going to be drawing in some rather humid air as we make your way through to tuesday and wednesday, too. but for the here and now, quite overcast, as i say, through the course of this morning. we do have the chance maybe ofjust seeing one or two showers dotted about through the morning, perhaps into the early part of this afternoon. but by the mid part of the afternoon, it's looking a lot drier and brighter, with that sunshine returning. temperatures today could be up at 27 degrees celsius. so we hold on to those pretty warm conditions. through this evening, well, we'll hold on to the sunshine as well. some sunny spells for the early parts of the evening. overnight, it's staying largely dry, with some cloud beginning to build up again by the early hours of tomorrow morning. the temperatures not really dropping away too much at all, down to 16 at the lowest. so it is going to be quite a warm and muggy feel as we make our way into tuesday. through tomorrow, a pretty similar day. we'll have some cloud through the morning, but some sunshine by the afternoon. turning warmer as we head through this week. but more sunshine and cooler conditions by the end of this week.
6:59 am
7:00 am
with ben thompson and sally nugent. our headlines today. champions of europe. chloe kelly's goal well into extra time secured the victory over germany — and england's first major tournament success since 1966. # it's coming home! the celebrations spilled over into the post—match press conference. the party in the stadium was carried on across england — the delight of fans echoed by messages of congratulation from the queen, the prime minister and many more. it continues later with the team and thousands the team up on this stage and
7:01 am
thousands of fans reliving it later. 7000 will get the chance to see the england players on the stage later as part of a special celebration. in memory of singer tom parker from the wanted, who died of cancer — friends and familyjoin a charity walk to mark the star's 34th birthday. a big shock at the commonwealth games. world record—holder adam peaty is beaten into fourth place in the 100m breaststroke, won by fellow englishman james wilby. good morning, a cloudy start in the east with showers. that will move away and most will have a dry day with sunshine. until the cloud thickens and wind strengthens and the rain moves in from the west. all the rain moves in from the west. all the details throughout the programme. it's monday, the 1st of august. our main story. football has come home.
7:02 am
england's lionesses have made history in a dramatic win against old rivals germany in the european championship final. there were scenes ofjoy on and off the pitch, as a record—breaking 87,000 fans packed wembley stadium for the nail—biting game. it's the first major trophy for england since the men's world cup win in 1966. sports correspondent natalie pirks reports. commentator: the lionesses' first-ever major trophy. - they say the best things come to those who wait. england, european champions. and after waiting a lifetime, the lionesses were determined to enjoy it. from the glitter angels on the wembley turf to storming their manager's press conference. who can blame them for revelling in the moment? # it's coming home, it's coming i
7:03 am
home, it's coming home, it's coming! in the electric atmosphere of the national stadium, sarina wiegman had yet again put herfaith in an unchanged team. she predicted a physical match and she was spot—on. that should be a foul. one of them was. butjust when england thought they were in control, the best chance of the first half fell to germany. what a scramble! earps grabs, somehow england survive. the sight of mary earps smothering the ball was a welcome one. ten seconds of holding my breath there. the second half came and it was time to send on the super—subs. could toone and russo make the difference again? a perfectly weighted pass found ella in acres and she knewjust what to do. ella toone is through here. ella toone for england! oh, yes! wembley erupted.
7:04 am
everyone was on their feet for this unbelievable piece of vision. we have lift—off! but, come on, this is germany. did you think they would back down? england's goal was living a charmed life and that was their final warning as the deutsch express train kept on coming. equaliser for germany. extra time loomed. we'd all been here before. any mistake now would be punished, any goal could prove decisive. and england had a corner. cue pandemonium. another substitute, chloe kelly, had battled back from injury to keep her euros dream alive. no wonder the top was off, swirled round and round in delight. a delirious wembley held its collective breath until the final whistle. it felt like an age. it's all over! but, finally, the moment a nation had been waiting for arrived.
7:05 am
european champions for the very first time. it doesn't seem real. i'm absolutely buzzing my head off. best day of my life. i can't even explain what it feels like. just look what it means to the players and what it means to the fans. for the generations that came before them and the generations that will come after them. it's impossible to overstate the impact of this win. the legacy of this tournament is the change in society, it is everything that we have done. we have brought everybody together, we have got people at games. the legacy of this team and that is the start of the journey. as the players celebrated, there was a moment of reflection for the first coach in history to win the euros with two different teams. i'm kissing this little armband that was my sister's and my sister passed away during our prep camps.
7:06 am
and i really miss, because she was my mate. but i think she was here, i think she was on the crossbar. she would have been here. she went to every game. she would be really, really proud of me and i am really proud of her, too. the queen told the players their success goes beyond this trophy. the lionesses have set an example to the nation. nevertheless, there's a new name in the history books and it belongs to the hosts on the night football finally came home. natalie pirks, bbc news, wembley. all of those interviews on the pitch after the match are brilliant. so much reaction. we show you pictures of the players gate—crashing the press conference. this was them making their way through the stadium to get to the press room. ella toone — who came on as a sub to score
7:07 am
the team's first goal — posted this picture of her celebrating with the trophy. the actress miranda hart summed up on twitter what it means for future generations of female footballers, she said... they sing. all the classics. and the celebrations continued into the night. goalie mary earps shared this video of the antics on the team bus as the players made the most of their incredible victory. we are live outside the team hotel. there is not much happening currently, i wonder why? there is not much happening currently, iwonder why? a there is not much happening currently, i wonder why? a little bit early for them.
7:08 am
i wonder what time they went to bed. maybe an hour ago. maybe they are not in bed yet. the first major trophy since 1966. more party incoming because they go to trafalgar square today to celebrate. what will happen today? we were saying would it be another party in trafalgar square or is the party in trafalgar square or is the party continuing for the england team after last night. we saw pictures of them storming into the press conference and i imagine the party has carried on. this is where it will be out today with the england team on this stage. a huge party planned. we have music. the fans will be allowed in from around 11am and the tickets given on a first—come, first—served basis. the players on the stage around 12:30pm with a special show on bbc one. i am sure sweet caroline will be belting
7:09 am
out. free from desire. another song that has come out of this tournament. we saw so many great moments. lovely to see lucy bronze, head first into the confetti after lifting the trophy. the players have been ambassadors throughout the tournament. such a lovely moment, they showed humility when they won. they created a guard of honour for germany players as they went to collect their medals. aside from the players walking into the press conference where sarina wiegman was talking, another highlight was chloe kelly, trying to conduct her post match interview when she saw fellow players cheering and celebrating. and all she did, simply, a players cheering and celebrating. and allshe did, simply, a mic players cheering and celebrating.
7:10 am
and all she did, simply, a mic drop. chloe, what have you just done? filth. chloe, what have you 'ust done? 0h, m god. chloe, what have you 'ust done? oh, my god. look _ chloe, what have you 'ust done? oh, my god. looko— chloe, what have you just done? my god. look at them! it's chloe, what have you just done ?m my god. look at them! it's amazing. thank— my god. look at them! it's amazing. thank you _ my god. look at them! it's amazing. thank you everyone who came to support _ thank you everyone who came to support us — thank you everyone who came to support us. this is unreal. # sweet _ support us. this is unreal. # sweet caroline! you do not want to miss out on an opportunity to celebrate with friends and family and fans and this was the reaction of some of the fans after the historic win. commentator: a tournament that has smashed attendance _ records for the european championships. it will break another today. the biggest crowd at any euros final, male orfemale. oh, yes! oh, it's in! cheering.
7:11 am
i said from the beginning i had true faith in them. women's football now- is going to give an opportunity ifor a lot of young kids to havel a great future and a great time. we are only a tiny village amongst lots of tiny villages and to have somebody actually winning the european championships is absolutely phenomenal. # it's coming home, it's coming home. # it's coming. cheering. very happy that we won. excited and happy that england won. it isjust going to- bring so much light to the women's game. this is the best day ever. i am just so proud.

7:13 am
feel—good factor around the tournament that will continue later. studio: it is infectious. john, thanks. let's speak now to the chief executive of the football association, mark bullingham. about what it will mean for women's football. good morning. shall we put this into context. the last time england won major tournament, women were banned from playing football. not on your watch! but give us context about how far the game has come in the past years particularly. that was before i was born but the last years have been incredible. we have invested and the lionesses took their opportunity and produced something incredible and we are proud of them. it has been an amazing month and an amazing day yesterday.

and that winning goal was scored by a west londoner who was brought up not that far from wembley, in hanwell. chloe kelly used to make two hour round trips as a teenager to go training at arsenal. before that, she was playing at queen's park rangers. honestly, it's amazing. thank you everyone that came out to support us. this is what dreams are made of as a young girl watching women's football. now this. wow, it's unbelievable. and as the goal went in, thousands of people in trafalgar square watching the game, celebrated. and there will be more celebrations in a few hours' time as the england squad — together with the trophy — head to trafalgar square early this afternoon. 7,000 fans will be allowed in the square to enjoy the spectacle. they'll will be allowed in — for free — on a first come, first served basis from 11am. if you want to head into town for that, orjust be a part of the atmosphere, i'll give you the latest tube

situation after this. a short walk from trafalgar square is the flagship store of greggs bakery. the reason it's in the news is that westminster council has refused it permission to start opening all night. the store in leicester square wanted to open 2a hours a day, selling food and non—alcoholic drinks, but the council accepted police concerns that it would increase anti—social behaviour in the area. now the tube board. now the weather with rich davis. hello, good morning. it is a fairly cloudy start for many of us today, with the chance of a few showers about. things will probably stay dry as we head through the next few days or so. despite this front moving in, i think we're going to escape most of the wet weather,

although it is going to be drawing in some rather humid air as we make your way through to tuesday and wednesday, too. but for the here and now, quite overcast, as i say, through the course of this morning. we do have the chance maybe ofjust seeing one or two showers dotted about through the morning, perhaps into the early part of this afternoon. but by the mid part of the afternoon, it's looking a lot drier and brighter, with that sunshine returning. temperatures today could be up at 27 degrees celsius. so we hold on to those pretty warm conditions. through this evening, well, we'll hold on to the sunshine as well. some sunny spells for the early parts of the evening. overnight, it's staying largely dry, with some cloud beginning to build up again by the early hours of tomorrow morning. the temperatures not really dropping away too much at all, down to 16 at the lowest. so it is going to be quite a warm and muggy feel as we make our way into tuesday. through tomorrow, a pretty similar day. we'll have some cloud through the morning, but some sunshine by the afternoon. turning warmer as we head through this week. but more sunshine and cooler conditions by the end of this week. i'm back with the latest

7:48 am
i think is a family we didn't really realise, truly, until he died, how many people he inspired and all that kind of stuff. so, yeah, he was a genuine guy and, considering his status, had time for everyone. and here we are and everyone has turned up to this to show their support and love, really. bolton born and bred, tom left an impression on those he met from very early on. i met his parents and his family and knew them going right the way through school. and i taught lewis, his brother, as well. so i feel part of the community that would like to pay our respects. really good fun. a bit of a pain in the neck- in the classroom, but that was him and all the fun that he did. the wanted's success saw them gather fans from around the world. some of them made the journey to bolton to remember him. he always had time for you and always made the effort. he was incredible, he really was.
7:49 am
it is very bittersweet to be in his home town and the reason we are doing this walk, but it is just so lovely to see everyone come out for it, and everyone to be raising awareness and showing support for the family. two of his bandmates also took part to remember theirfriend and thank theirfans for their unwavering support. they have always been really loyal and it's just a testament to tarn and itjust shows how much love there still is for him. and we all miss him a lot. the walk passed through places that were special to tom and his family, including his school and church. it finished at the swan pub, where his music career first took off after winning a karaoke competition at the age of 16. i did have a little chat with tom — do you want to sort this weather out? and it has turned out glorious so yeah, it's been fantastic. so many people turned out, i can't believe it, really. yeah, it's been amazing. the only way to finish, following in tom's footsteps with a spot of karaoke at the swan. first to take the microphone,

7:56 am
games so far last night, he came fourth in the final of the 100 metres breaststroke as joe fourth in the final of the 100 metres breaststroke asjoe lynskey reports. here he is. in the life and times of adam peaty, one thing is constant. he hadn't lost a 100 metre breaststroke race for seven years, and halfway through this final, he was still on course. butjust ten weeks ago, he broke his foot. so where he'd push, instead, he faded. a different englishman pounced. james wilby wins gold! and that isjust a massive result in his life. james wilby took the chance and peaty missed a medal, but kept perspective. when it comes down to the race, sometimes it doesn't go to plan. but you know, that's a lack of training, as you said, lack of racing. i'm a fighter. and, you know, sometimes you have got to have these moments where... ...to keep on fighting, really. at the end of the day, we're both, you know, incredible racers. we all know what adam's capable of. and, you know, taking your opportunities, racing the best race you can on the night. but, yeah, i'm so
7:57 am
happy, so thrilled. to win gold meant so much to england's alice tyne. the para—swimmer had her leg amputated in january. she did itjust to ease the pain she felt. now things were so different. and few have earned a medal quite like her. i'vejust, you know, i've been learning to walk again, and i didn't even think i'd be able to race at the end of this season. but i'm so grateful that team england let me come here and race, and i... ..yeah, i'll try not to cry. i can't believe that i just won that. for the athletes and the nations, these games can change the mood. james ball had made a breakthrough. he'd won three silvers before. now in the tandem sprint, got his first gold. it was wales' first of these games too. at sutton park in triathlon, england were dominance. golds in the mixed relay and in two para—triathlons,

in the aftermath of the incident, saying she wasn't sure she wanted to carry on, and she's called for bigger barriers or screens to be fitted in velodromes, with riders reaching higher speeds. a look at the medals table to see how yesterday's results leave them. england into second. scotland are seventh with two gold medals so far. there's wales in 10th, thanks to that gold medal from james ball in the velodrome. northern ireland joint 15th. but that could change if rhys mclenahan can strike gold again. i don't want to jinx i don't want tojinx him. the first sport under way is the table tennis and medals will be handed out in the women's team event. wales can win the bronze, their team includes is—year—old anna hursey. this is her second commonwealth games. we featured her four years ago on the gold coast

their manager's press conference. who can blame them for revelling in the moment? # it's coming home, it's coming i home, it's coming home, it's coming! in the electric atmosphere of the national stadium, sarina wiegman had yet again put herfaith in an unchanged team. she predicted a physical match and she was spot—on. that should be a foul. one of them was. butjust when england thought they were in control, the best chance of the first half fell to germany. what a scramble! earps grabs, somehow england survive. the sight of mary earps smothering the ball was a welcome one. ten seconds of holding my breath there. the second half came and it was time to send on the super—subs. could toone and russo make the difference again? a perfectly weighted pass found ella in acres and she knewjust what to do. ella toone is through here.

8:17 am
tickets to the final and as we can show you now, it was a special day. i am not sure she slept much last night. who's going to win? england! is that tess from tv? yeah! _ tess, you're here! wahey! can you believe what the last few days have been like? crazy. they've been crazy. because i've been on a lot of phone calls, running around, jumping on the sofas, like, "yeah!" shall we get you ready for this game? yeah! come on, let's do it. let's go, come on. so, you got the face paint? yeah. you got the flag? yeah. how are the dance moves? # i'm feeling fine...#

8:22 am
living in the moment, being herself and finally, the dance moves. look what can happen when you are true to yourself. she did that in the stands after the semifinal win and i know tess, her mum and family will want me to say thank you to everyone involved, everyone on the programme for making her dreams come true and to alessia russo for giving her the shirt from the semifinal. we talk about legacy, herteam shirt from the semifinal. we talk about legacy, her team who tess plays for, they say they have received so many calls from young girls who want to play now. you talk about legacy, there it is. studio: john, great to hear, and thank you to you for guiding tess through the day yesterday. or did she guide you? her enthusiasm is infectious. it was amazing. we will be back with john later in the programme where he
8:23 am
is at trafalgar square where there will be a big party later on. the moral of the story, he more tess. and we could be more carol. good morning. some of us started on a sunny note as you can see from the picture. there is quite a bit of cloud around in southern, western and eastern areas. a lot of it will melt away. some of it currently producing showers. there will be dry weather and sunshine and in the afternoon, cloud will gather in the west and rain will arrive and the wind strength. in the sunshine in north—east scotland, we could have 20 degrees. maybe 27 in the south—east. this evening, we start on a dry note but the rain in the west will quickly push to the east and we will have a weather front trailing across northern england
8:24 am
into the midlands and wales. it will be a humid night. temperatures falling away to 10—18. tomorrow we have a weather front across parts of england and wales. as it moves south it will weaken. we do not expect rain where we need it in the far south—east. to the north, cloud, sunshine and showers in the north and west. a humid and breezy day with temperatures 15—27. wednesday, we still have the weather front across southern parts of england. spots of rain. not much if any getting to the south—east. move north and we see sunshine but in scotland and northern ireland, cloud and showers moving west to east followed by further showers and temperatures 15—29. again, it will feel humid.
8:25 am
a man will appear in court today, charged with the murder of nine—year—old lilia valutyte. lilia was stabbed to death in boston town centre on thursday. our reporterjessica lane is there for us this morning. we can see the flowers behind you. bring us up—to—date. lincolnshire police have charged 22—year—old deividas skebas from boston with murder. it is after nine—year—old lilia valutyte was found on fountain lane in the centre of town around 6:20pm on thursday with what police say is a suspected stab wound. she later died. police say the family are being supported by trained officers and their welfare is a priority for the force. police say following information supplied by the public and
8:26 am
intelligence armed officers made the arrest on saturday in central park around the corner from here and you can see the tributes brought down by people in boston over the weekend. teddy bears, flowers and candles. people coming together in memory of the nine—year—old. and the 22—year—old deividas skebas will appear at lincoln magistrates later today. the first ship carrying ukrainian grain has left the southern port city of odesa this morning — under a landmark deal with russia. it was loaded with 26,000 tonnes of corn and will sail to lebanon as part of a plan aimed at easing a global food crisis. our ukraine correspondentjames waterhouse is in odesa this morning. he is on the water. how significant is this moment? it is he is on the water. how significant is this moment?— is this moment? it is hugely significant- _ is this moment? it is hugely
8:27 am
significant. it _ is this moment? it is hugely significant. it is _ is this moment? it is hugely significant. it is a _ is this moment? it is hugely significant. it is a small - is this moment? it is hugely| significant. it is a small start is this moment? it is hugely - significant. it is a small start but vitally important. notjust to ukraine and its damaged economy, but to some of the poorest countries in the world that are some of the biggest grain customers. i do not know if you can see the vessel heading out with the corner. you might be able to see the white cranes on top of its lengthy hull. it is going along a route surrounded by dem. and we have seen demining along the path and there have been preparations. we have seen grain dust as the vessels are loaded. we cannot film the port because they are wary of the russians using the footage for potential air strikes. this is a big moment. it is the
8:28 am
first time these vessels have left ukraine since the 24th of february when the war broke out. people are not getting carried away because trust is rock bottom. the deal was signed on friday but the war remains active as ever. and this is a drop in the ocean if you compare it to the 5 million tonnes of grain ukraine was exporting every month before the conflict. there is a long way to go and it is hoped the deal will last four months. but still, a welcome sight.— the actor nichelle nichols has died aged 89. she was best known for playing lieutenant uhura in star trek — and a particular catchphrase. hailing frequencies open, sir. mr spock, sometimes, i think if i hear that word frequency once more, i'll cry.
8:29 am
she was one of the first black actors in the us to play an authority figure. and she was also among the first to portray an inter—racial kiss. she was later employed by nasa, to encourage more women and african—americans to become astronauts. an incredible career and hugely influential. we should find out this month how much higher our energy bills will rise to in october. speculation is growing and there are fears about how people will cope. ben's here with the details. what will happen? i know you cannot say exactly but what do we think will happen? this is the part of the problem. the difficulty through all these price rises has been knowing with certaintyjust how much more expensive things are going to get. this is the figure now. just under £2000
8:30 am
if you are in a household using a typical amount of energy and you're on a default tariff paying by direct debit. this was a 54% increase when it came in on the first of april. but the latest forecast from cornwall insight predicts that in october bills could rocket again to over £3000. this figure will be updated this week and it could go higher. their forecast is usually a pretty good guide to what ofgem — the regulator — ends up doing. charities say it could push around 8.2 million people — or one in three british households — into energy poverty. that's when homes spend more than 10% of their total income on energy. that figure has been calculated after considering the impact of the £400 discount due to every household in the uk. the other thing we will find out this week is just how often the price cap changes. it could go from every six months to three.
8:31 am
it would mean when the wholesale price does go down our bills would drop sooner. but that isn't expected to happen any time soon so it could mean anotherjump in our bills injanuary. meanwhile, the government told us, "we are providing £37 billion of help for households including the £400 discount on energy bills, and £1,200 of direct support for the most vulnerable households." we will not get the figure for the energy cap until the 26th of august and that will tell us what the average bill will go up to from october. thank you. we will continue the euros party in the next 45 minutes. time to get the news where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm asad ahmad.
8:32 am
so it's happened — and just like in 1966, it all happened at wembley. it's in! and that winning goal was scored by a west londoner who was brought up not that far from wembley, in hanwell. chloe kelly used to make two hour round trips as a teenager to go training at arsenal. before that, she was playing at queen's park rangers. honestly, it's amazing. thank you everyone that came out to support us. this is what dreams are made of as a young girl watching women's football. now this. wow, it's unbelievable. and as the goal went in, thousands of people in trafalgar square watching the game, celebrated. and there will be more celebrations in a few hours' time as the england squad — together with the trophy — head to trafalgar square early this afternoon. 7,000 fans will be allowed in the square to enjoy the spectacle. they'll will be allowed in — for free — on a first come,
8:33 am
first served basis, from 11am. if you want to head into town for that, orjust be a part of the atmosphere, i'll give you the latest tube situation after this. a short walk from trafalgar square is the flagship store of greggs bakery. the reason it's in the news is that westminster council has refused it permission to start opening all night. the store in leicester square wanted to open 2a hours a day, selling food and non—alcoholic drinks, but the council accepted police concerns that it would increase anti—social behaviour in the area. now the tube board. now the weather with rich davis. hello, good morning. it is a fairly cloudy start for many of us today, with the chance of a few showers about. things will probably stay dry as we head through the next few days or so. despite this front moving in,
8:34 am
i think we're going to escape most of the wet weather, although it is going to be drawing in some rather humid air as we make your way through to tuesday and wednesday, too. but for the here and now, quite overcast, as i say, through the course of this morning. we do have the chance maybe ofjust seeing one or two showers dotted about through the morning, perhaps into the early part of this afternoon. but by the mid part of the afternoon, it's looking a lot drier and brighter, with that sunshine returning. temperatures today could be up at 27 degrees celsius. so we hold on to those pretty warm conditions. through this evening, well, we'll hold on to the sunshine as well. some sunny spells for the early parts of the evening. overnight, it's staying largely dry, with some cloud beginning to build up again by the early hours of tomorrow morning. the temperatures not really dropping away too much at all, down to 16 at the lowest. so it is going to be quite a warm and muggy feel as we make our way into tuesday. through tomorrow, a pretty similar day. we'll have some cloud through the morning, but some sunshine by the afternoon. turning warmer as we head through this week. but more sunshine and cooler
8:35 am
conditions by the end of this week. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with ben thompson and sally nugent. we've been speaking all morning about that historic win by the lionesses last night. let's take a look at some of the celebrations on social media. the team's official account posted this picture of golden boot winner beth mead, surrounded by her mound of trophies. and this picture was taken of beth's proud parents watching from inside wembley. the queen sent her message of congratulations, saying, "you have all set an example that will be an inspiration for girls and women today, and for future generations."
8:36 am
the lionesses also had support from the men's team too. here's mason mount and phil foden filming their reactions to that historic win. it went crazy. what a moment. in a moment we'll speak tojohn watson who's in trafalgar square. but first, let'sjoin fiona lamdin, who's at blackburn rovers where three of the team started out. fi, i suspect you have a lot of very happy young footballers with you this morning? exactly. a week ago we said if they became _ exactly. a week ago we said if they became champions we would come back. yesterday. _ became champions we would come back. yesterday, when ella toone got that .oal yesterday, when ella toone got that goal we _ yesterday, when ella toone got that goal we texted to say we were coming back _

8:38 am
extra time. a bit nervous, but i think we can do it. i think they can do it. very nervous. it is germany. you are bound to feel the nerves. but fans were finally rewarded with a second goal from chloe kelly. it means everything. i am so proud of them. i can't say any more. i can't describe it, i can't explain it. it is coming home. history — football history. # football's coming home. i am choked up. i am absolutely buzzing at the same time. england, number one in europe. so happy. scared it was going to go to penalties? perfect timing. we brought it home at last. it is the ladies. come on, girls. we so deserved that.
