this is bbc news and welcome if you are watching here in the uk or around the globe. our top stories: the search for survivors of a plane crash in nepal has been called off for the night. at least 68 are now confirmed dead. everybody is confused because this pilot is one of the most experienced and well—respected pilots of nepal. police say they're working round the clock to find the gunmen behind yesterday's shooting in central london. a seven—year—old girl was left fighting for her life. at least 22 people killed and 72 injured during a missile strike on an apartment building in the eastern ukrainian city of dnipro.

labour leader sir keir starmer says he has "concerns" over the gender recognition legislation passed in scotland last month, as he considers 16—year—olds too young to change their legal gender. hello and welcome. at least 68 people have been killed after a passenger plane crashed in nepal. the yeti airlines flight came down close to the tourist town of pokhara. the search has now been called off for the night and will resume on monday in daylight. it's understood a number of foreign nationals are among the dead. caroline davies has the latest. and a warning — you may find some of the images distressing. believed to be the final moments before the crash, flying low and the sound of the impact. this video appeared on social media, reportedly showing the yeti flight.

shouting. at the site, chaos and confusion as smoke and flames engulf the charred crater where the plane crashed. this is only 1.5km from the flight�*s destination, pokhara airport. the crowds step around what's left — tangled metal and plastic. among the passengers, 53 were from nepal, five from india, four russians, two koreans and one passenger each from ireland, australia, argentina and france. the plane took off at 10.32 this morning from kathmandu. from the airport, prime minister pushpa kamal dahal said the incident was tragic. all forces have been deployed for rescue operations. the investigation is going on now and i've called an emergency cabinet meeting. nepal has some of the world's most remote and difficult runways, and weather conditions in the mountains can change suddenly.

there have previously been concerns about the safety of the country's carriers. the european union banned them from its airspace. the investigation into exactly what went wrong has onlyjust begun. caroline davies, bbc news. earlier, iasked bikram pandey kaaji, founderand president of �*nepal aviation�*, about what he thinks may have caused the crash. everybody is confused because this pilot is one of the most experienced and well—respected pilots of nepal, and he has, you know, thousands and thousands of successful flight records, to his merit. and the way everybody has seen today's crash as unthinkable because it was the third flight as for the news going around here. he flew seven o'clock this morning, then he went a second time, and it was on the third time. he was trying to take a big turn from the

old airport toward the new direction where he had to take a big turn around, so it must have been because of the wind, because pokhara has sometimes a changing wind pattern. sometimes it is a strong westerly wind, and sometimes a strong southerly wind. so we all think that since he was taking a long, big turn, maybe turning was not enough, or maybe while he was taking a turn, the aircraft already had a problem and it started to descend down and it started to, you know, kind of stall and fell in the ground, so that is what everybody is thinking. terry tozer is a former pilot and flying instructor. hejoins me now from sussex. thank you very much for your time today. you will have seen the footage that has emerged of the last moments of this flight. from that,

blue sky. there may have been some wind but i'm not sure if any of the normal things in a mountainous terrain would have been a factor. the man said earlierfrom the poll aviation that he had been there a couple of times already that day and would have been familiar with the airport and the conditions. it is perfectly possible that during this turn they had a problem which distracted them or cause to them handling problems, but the aircraft looks slow. the nose looks a bit high, and if it didn't have the flaps set, that is all a recipe for a stall, and at low level, they didn't have much time to recover. the questions raised after this crash about the amount of investment

in new aircraft in nepal — could that be an issue? i in new aircraft in nepal - could that be an issue?— in new aircraft in nepal - could that be an issue? i suppose it is alwa s that be an issue? i suppose it is always possible _ that be an issue? i suppose it is always possible that _ that be an issue? i suppose it is always possible that there - that be an issue? i suppose it is always possible that there was l that be an issue? i suppose it is| always possible that there was a sudden mechanicalfault with always possible that there was a sudden mechanical fault with the aircraft. it is a reliable aircraft. there are hundreds of them worldwide. they don't have any real issues. they have a good record. although i wouldn't want to point the finger at this particular crew, these type of accidents usually have a human element. it may have been prior to flight, it may have been the engineering, but it looks as if basically they got a bit slow and lost control of it. the reason why, of course, is the big question. thank you very much. at least 22 people have been killed and 72 injured after a missile destroyed an apartment building in the eastern ukrainian city of dnipro. a0 residents are still thought to be missing. our ukraine correspondentjames

waterhouse reports from kyiv. dnipro has learned to cope with constant threat. being 120 miles from the front line isn't enough to escape moments like this. the cause is obvious — the damage, plain to see — but what disappears immediately are entire lives. the rescue continued as flames were put out and night arrived, as well as the realisation of what had happened. translation: what have you done to my son? - you're evil! i curse you and future generations of your families. may you animals be cursed for the rest of your lives by everyone! there is anger, and occasional hope. shouting. is anyone alive, ask rescuers? answering shouts. "here, here," they shout,

the crane shut down. "lady, we can hear you," they say. today has brought more breakthroughs, but the number of dead will go up with time. dnipro is a reminder of how ordinary people can end up in harm's way, despite russia's likely target being nearby infrastructure. this was nevertheless an attack on the whole of the country. after a relative respite of two weeks, moscow has resumed its tactic of trying to deny ukrainians energy during the height of winter. there were blackouts across ukraine, including here in the western lviv region. in a sign of his unchanged position, the country's leader says russia can only be stopped on the battlefield. translation: it can and must be done on our land, _ in our sky, in our sea. what we do we need for this? the weapons which are in the depots of our partners, the ones

which our troops are waiting for. the rescue of a woman this morning brought more much—needed good news, against a backdrop of continued devastation. james waterhouse, bbc news, kyiv. here in the uk the metropolitan police says those behind yesterday's shooting in central london fired a shotgun from inside a moving car. it happened near euston station, outisde a church where a memorial service for a young woman and her mother had just taken place. a seven—year—old girl suffered life—threatening injuries and five other people were also hurt — superintendent jack rowlands gave an update on the investigation. the incident took place as mourners gathered outside the church following a funeral. we believe the suspects discharged a shotgun from a moving vehicle, which was a black toyota chr, likely a 2019 model or similar.

this was a shocking incident. the church's parish priest, fatherjeremy trood, was inside when the attack began and told us what happened. we had a memorial mass for two of our parishioners who died very tragically of natural causes in november. this was the opportunity for theirfamily and november. this was the opportunity for their family and friends to get together and celebrate their life and remember them, together and celebrate their life and rememberthem, mourn forthem, and rememberthem, mourn forthem, and above all pray for them. that mass had just ended and people were beginning to leave the church. i was still inside the church when suddenly there was this enormous bang, and people who were leaving the church just rushed back in and said there had been a shooting. certainly, it was a very strange, loud, prolonged noise that i heard. our correspondent at the scene matt graveling gave us an update of the situation.

we heard from the superintendent on the scene earlier today, the seven—year—old girl is in a stable but life—threatening condition. we will bring you information on that as soon as it comes, but with regard to this area, the cord and that was on this road by the church behind me has now been removed by police following the tragedy yesterday afternoon. still no idea of the motives of what led a car to drive by and then we believe shoot a shot gun and injure six women, four of them women, two of them young girls, a 12—year—old and a seven—year—old, and the seven—year—old is still in a critical condition in hospital. as you heard from police, there may be information they would like to hear from anyone who may have been a witness saw who knows anything about that car. they believe it is a 2019 black toyota chr vehicle. if you have any information about that, they would definitely like to hear

from you. with regard to the feeling in this community today, just a sense of disbelief because you heard there all about how this was a service of remembrance for a mother and her daughter who were big pillars of the community, we were told by the police who conducted their service, and peoplejust their service, and people just leaving their service, and peoplejust leaving here yesterday around one o'clock, about 300 people were leaving the church after paying their respects to the mother and her daughter when this happened. that is the latest information from here in houston, just a little down from the station, and we will bring you more of course as we have it. a woman who was an afghan mp until the taliban took over the country has been shot dead at her home in kabul. mursal nabizada had been a member of parliament until august 2021 and was killed alongside one of her bodyguards. the uk's opposition labour party leader sir keir starmer says he does not back 16—year—olds being able to change their legal gender. mr starmer said he had concerns

about legislation passed in the scottish parliament last month which simplifies the process for changing gender, including lowering the age to 16. the government in westminster is considering blocking the bill. here's 0ur political correspondent david wallace lockhart. what do we want? trans rights! when do we want them? now! members of the scottish parliament backed controversial legislation last month, making it easierfor someone to change their legal gender and lowering the age limit from 18 to 16. labour members at holyrood backed the changes, but this morning, the party's uk leader expressed reservations about the bill. i do have concerns about, one, the age of transition, reduced now to 16, and we've put amendments forward in relation to that, and also the primacy of the equality act. you would not agree you are old enough at the age of 16? no, i don't think you are. you don't think you are at 16. ok, that's clear. the uk government takes the same view. they could yet decide to block

the scottish legislation, and ministers are awaiting final legal advice. there are trans people who have suffered discrimination and want their rights respected, but, equally, i've listened very carefully to the concerns that many women have had about worries that they've got about risks to their safety. but another senior tory mp accused some colleagues of using the issue as a battering ram. my committee has taken private evidence from individuals, from trans people, and listening to their struggles, listening to the discrimination and the abuse that they have faced, i absolutely believe we have to make the process simpler and kinder, but i really fear the use of this as some sort of woke culture war to sow division. the leader of the snp, stephen flynn. - the snp�*s westminster leader has warned uk ministers not to block scotland's gender recognition reform bill. what we have is a right—wing

uk conservative government which is seeking to roll back on the democratic powers of the scottish parliament. that's an outrage, and the people that should be most outraged about that are the likes of the conservative and labour politicians who voted in favour of the grr, who must recognise the fact that this is the uk parliament overstepping massively. the scottish gender legislation had plenty of opponents on its parliamentary journey. the uk government blocking the bill would be a watershed moment in devolution�*s history. they have to make a decision by the middle of this week. david wallace lockhart, bbc news. hugh ferris has all the sport. arsenal have the chance to extend their premier league lead to eight points in the north london derby at spurs. points in the north london derby at surs. , . �* ., ~~' points in the north london derby at surs. , . �* ., ~~ ., spurs. they haven't won mike at the last eiuht spurs. they haven't won mike at the last eight attempts. _ spurs. they haven't won mike at the last eight attempts. they _ spurs. they haven't won mike at the last eight attempts. they have - spurs. they haven't won mike at the last eight attempts. they have a - last eight attempts. they have a pretty commanding 2—0 lead. heading towards half—time now. an own

goal... earlier, newcastle united went back up to third after beating fulham one nil with an 89th minute goalfrom alexander fulham one nil with an 89th minute goal from alexander isaac, the swedish striker�*s fought for his club. fulham had a penalty disallowed after it was kicked twice because the player slipped while taking it. a much needed win for chelsea and graham potter. can i have at scored the only goal of the game. meanwhile chelsea's january transfer window spending continues. and during their match agaisnt crystal palace they announced the signing of ukraine forward mykhailo mudryk from the fee is initially 62 million pounds the signing of ukraine forward mykhailo mudryk from shakhtar donetsk. the fee is initially 62 million pounds which could rise to nearly 90... and he's been at stamford bridge this afternoon... where he's agreed an 8 and a half year deal.

chelsea beat arsenal to the signing of the 22 year old who is their fifth new player in this transfer window. the first tennis grand slam of the year the australian open gets underway in just under eleven hours hours from now. novak djokovic returns to the tournament 12 months after being deported from australia because he hadn't been vaccinated against covid 19. the serb starts his bid for a tenth aussie open title on tuesday novak djokovic cancelled his practice session on sunday, perhaps a precautionary measure because in his own words he has been troubled by a left hamstring problem for the last ten days. it didn't stop him winning the title in adelaide last sunday and he is a clear favourite to win a tenth australian open title. he's had an excellent reception. the nasty ill feeling of 12 months ago seems to have melted away. if it won't be djokovic, we can't look past rafael nadal, surely. not in particularly good form, having only one like one match since last september's us open, but he had barely played in six months when he won in probably 12 months

ago. if it won't be them, who else can take advantage of the world number one? tsitsipas of greece, perhaps. casper ruud of norway would like his chances, as well as daniel medvedev of russia, who had a slightly disappointing last year. in the women's single, eva shri on tech is the one to beat again. she won two grand slam titles again last year but can she continue that momentum? you often get unpredictable results at the start of the grand slam season. there could be opposition from coco gauff of the united states, from jessica bigelow, another american who has already beaten sri on year. arsenal have taken that 2—0 lead

into half—time. that's all the sport for now. a british woman has died in an avalanche while trekking in the french alps. the accident happened on saturday on mont blanc's argentiere glacier. the woman, who was a5, was hiking with two other women at the time. a specialist mountain search and rescue team from chamonix was alerted but they were unable to save her. police have launched an investigation. the uk transport secretary mark harper says he hopes a deal can be reached soon between rail companies and unions to avoid further strike action. recent industrial action has causing mass disruption across the country. the minister added that there was still detail in negotiations that needed hammering out. i hope that there'll be a deal. i'm not going to put an artificial timetable on it. i think as soon as you start putting artificial deadlines on things, you tend to end up with a bad deal. but, look, i think both the companies and the rail unions are keen to reach an agreement, but we've got to see if they can hammer out the detail —

but that's for them to do. i facilitated an offer. i've brought the two sides together with the rail minister. he's been having regular meetings to make sure that we've got a good process, and it's for the two sides now to hammer out a deal and try and get somewhere where they can agree. more nurses will be asked to strike next month, in a dispute over pay. that's the warning from the royal college of nursing, which says the next set of strikes will include all eligible members in england for the first time, unless progress is made in negotiations by the end of the month. earlier alanjones, the industrial correspondent for pa, gave us this update. there are more meetings this week but this is a very slow train, if you like. there were meetings last week. there have been about 100 hours of talks last year and we're, kind of, not much furtherforward, to be honest. i mean, the only positive thing, if you'd like to say, is that no more strikes have been called yet in the unions have to give two weeks' notice

before there visit strike so there is definitely a window but having said that, the train drivers union, aslef, is having a meeting of its executive tomorrow. i'm pretty sure they're going to turn down the offer they've had and then it will be up to them if they draw to decide if they want to have more strikes are not so this dispute is definitely not over yet and, you know, the transport secretary has been facilitating meetings. he has been saying that for a while. yes, there are meetings, but there's definitely no breakthrough yet. looking at health and the nurses strike there is quite a lot of speculation, isn't there, that there is disagreement within government over the need to give nurses higher pay with of the health secretary is minded to support them in that cold. you know, that said, what you think�*s going to happen with the nhs, with nurses specifically? well, the rcn's got two days of strikes this week. the gmb union has got

a meeting tomorrow. they might well call strikes amongst their ambulance members. they are saying the next strike in february will be bigger than this week's strike and all of that, i think, shows just how frustrated the health unions are. thousands of people have taken to the streets in israel to protest against government plans to have more power over the justice system. the proposed changes would make it easier for parliament to overturn supreme court rulings. yolande knell reports. the biggest show of opposition yet to israel's most right—wing ever government. tens of thousands crammed into the heart of tel aviv on a soggy night, clutching israeli flags and umbrellas. they fear new laws will endanger democracy and civil rights. in an unusual move, even the country's top judge has warned against plans to change the justice system so that politicians can easily

overrule the supreme court. more to say here about it's really scary that i think it's going to, kind of, slowly disappear if we don't do anything. the government was elected in a democratic way but their actions now are not democratic because we have a situation between government and system ofjustice in israel that should be kept this way. many here accuse the prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, of turning on the courts because he himself remains on trialfor corruption, which he denies. it's just two weeks since israel's veteran leader returned to power with a coalition of ultranationalists and religious allies. they accuse the supreme court of overreach and elitism and say they have a public mandate for change. translation: two months ago, a massive demonstration - took place in israel.

the mother of all demonstrations. millions of people took to the streets to vote in the election. one of the main topics they have voted on was a reform in thejudicial system. israel is deeply divided politically and it's now locked in what its figurehead president calls an historic constitutional crisis which, he says, could tear the nation apart. chanting. with no sign the government will change its mind on its reforms, already more protests are planned. yolande knell, bbc news, jerusalem. a reminder of our top story: at least 68 people have been killed after a passenger plane crashed in nepal. the flight came down close to a tourist town. the search has been called off for the night and will resume on monday in daylight.

you can reach me on twitter — i'm @annitabbc. hello. much colder weather on the way for all of us in the week ahead. we have seen so much rain so far this january, it will become relatively drier but arctic ar plungers right —— arctic air plunges across the uk. snow is a possibility for some this week. despite things being relatively drier, we will be trying to pin down smaller weather systems like this one that will cross the channel tonight. tonight it looks pretty wet for southern counties of england, but also a difficult wintry mix, particularly towards the south—east towards the end of the night. there could be snow to start

off on monday and there could be a significant risk of ice. ice just about anywhere as we are expecting a widespread frost and snow showers will continue across northern scotland into monday as well. some parts of scotland will be freezing, everywhere else much chillier than of late. monday into tuesday, the same thing — a little weather feature developing within a bigger area of low pressure running the show. always difficult to pin down the smaller features. at the moment, the smaller features. at the moment, the potential for heavier, the smaller features. at the moment, the potentialfor heavier, more persistent snow somewhere across southern england. don't take that positioning literally. it is shifting from model to model. the smaller features don't really exist within this bigelow yet so it is hard to track them until they shape up. on wednesday, we are looking at this low in the north sea and whether it will drag any showers

into the east coast. for many in the week ahead, a lot of fine weather, with bright, crisp, blue skies off the frosty starts. at the end of the week, potentially we will look to the west for our weather systems come back in again, so the potential for things to turn to rain again by friday and for us to see temperatures going up a little as we approach next weekend. it will be cold but there will be frosty nights. look out for ice. bear with us for the detail on the snow.

this is bbc news, the headlines the search for survivors of a plane crash in nepal has been called off for the night. the aircraft was carrying seventy—two passengers, at least sixty—eight are now confirmed dead. a 7 year old girl has life threatening injuries after a suspected drive by shooting outside a memorial service in london. police have described it as �*shocking' and �*senseless�*. at least 22 people killed and 72 injured during a missile strike on an apartment building in the eastern ukrainian city of dnipro. the mayor of the city says there is little hope of finding more survivors. labour leader, sir keir starmer, says he has "concerns" over the gender recognition legislation passed in scotland last month, as he considers 16—year—olds too young to change their legal gender.

you're watching bbc news. now its time for we are england: england's next lionesses that's a great ball, just keep another two on it. keep your ball, maisie, keep your ball. when i played football, it was literally our life. | it really was an enjoyable time of my football career. -

one day, i'd love to play for england, it would be fantastic. we have to get this work done, we have to be right for that first game. good save, millie. come on. good, that's shot. it's football, it's my whole life, like, yeah. football is everything, yeah. one, two, three, four! cheering and shouting. it was amazing, the start

of the year, it was like a sense of adrenaline. over the years, you see how close they are getting and they've not quite got there to win that position. go, millie. go, girl. when i went to go first, first, that was celebrations all—round when they scored, coming back. that puts the nervous feeling back inside you. it was an amazing feeling, everyonejumped up, it was just amazing. it's a really exciting time and football, it opened so many doors for opportunities. everyone wants to be in women's football. i would say that seeing them when, the lionesses, was a massive - inspiration for everyone.

seeing the lionesses winning has showed the next generation - ithat we can do it and we can work. as hard as them and we can become just like them. # sweet caroline. ..# we've got training now with the girls, we're just getting ready for the last training session before the start of the season so it's the final session of preseason. it's the final tweaks to make sure we are for saturday. plenty of movement on the outside, ready to go. it's amateur football, it's for anybody of any ability. it's at the start of where anybody�*s

footballjourney begins. come on girls, ready, play. i think it's sitting right more than an all—time high where people are realising how good the girls can play and it's massive because more and more girls want to play football. right, walk in, girls. two weeks away. in fact, we can do bit away so we will have to get in fact, weekend a bit away so we will have to get this work done. we have to make sure it's right for the first game. what we can't afford to do is start the season really slow and start with a defeat or a draw. we need to get three points on the board straightaway. chloe, if you are heading into goal, into the box. the first game of the season is always dead important, it shows the opposition how well you have improved and it's so important to get the three points, because if you don't, you are always on the back foot for the rest of the season. when i was their age,

it was still more about form. it was still more about fun. the coaches were never really demanding of the players as i'm quite demanding and these girls have got big dreams because they got more opportunities now when it comes to training. i think there's quite a few of them who could go on and play professionally. myjob as a coach is to get the very best out of them. good one, chloe, good information and relaxing. good little spell. at school i always liked to play with the lads and it was always i had to get involved with them, it was awkward because there were no girls at that age. following, go. a kid might not have the best start or couldn't really come into the ball, it gives the chance for children, especially, to come and socialise with friends. it gives them something to believe in and feel part of. it's a great ball. just loving it too much. it's definitely somewhere where they feel like we will belong. exactly the same. these are under 15s.

i've had them since the under tens. we get on really well. we've had a lot of banter. they all go out socially. when it comes to training they are very competitive against each other and they want to win. individually, they want to win stop your always trying to get fast, individually, they want to win. your always trying to get fast, in play, your movement has to be right, your awareness has to be right. we are doing 3 v 3, free shot, working on attack and defend, maybe a hornet is a free contact, and we're trying the lines going forward. abby is the captain. abbey is the captain. when i was in school, i would always mess around with the lads and kick all about. with the lads and kick the ball about.

year 3 i was invited to a football party with some of the lads. the quarter was, like, running it, came at the end, saying she was actually quite good. she came along to my session. i remember thinking, wow, she's got really good potential and spoke to mum and mum said she had only be doing the odd training. i couldn't believe it. straightaway i just said, "i need to sign her." i need my little drill with the blue ones. once you get in weight, it's a bit hard but it can be tiring if you keep doing it but that's the fitness, keeping up with it. football became a big part of my life. i play centre midfield or maybe playing three in the middle, i will play cdm, the holder midfielder. i will come down and try to play at least once a week and keep it for training itself. you have the team practice because even when we will practice as a team, if you want to become

a better player yourself and step up and not just with teamwork, you should be doing it your own because it's what makes you stand out from other players. even if i'm just with a ball at my foot, it's what makes me happy, i enjoyjust anything to do with football really. abbey when she first came in, she never played for a team until now. she is completely gone up a few levels, worked hard and done extra sessions. my aim in football is to try and play professionally, that's what i want to do, i want to go as far as i possibly can with all and i know that's difficult but i would love to play and do that in the future, make it my full—time job. one day, i would love to play for england and evenjust playing in wembley or something, when you are playing for your country, is a great feeling. the lionesses are inspiring for me, it's a great feeling to know they came from this club.

this is a scrapbook of the memories from the mid—�*90s. that was advertising classes. these were all tournament day shots. there isjill scott, 200a. the girls who played for boldon, that would bejill, demi stokes and steph wharton. jill was about nine years old, she was great from the start. we always kept in touch. she became part of our family. i was proud for an england team to win a big tournament, it's what every footballer wants.

i think in the early days, we give the young girls the opportunity to play, the opportunity to be competitive. so, this is where the old youth centre used to be and this is where the girls first started playing. we're just going to do one more for the girls. having to use both feet.

i should do football with the kids in the club. two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. at the time there was no division for girls all, as there was no league. the faa didn't need to provide anything. the problem was boys wouldn't let them play, the attitude was the girls can't play football. girls, in here! you can't go in the cycle where the cones are. i would say the early �*90s it started taking off because it was set up on the back of the boys league so originally it was the boy �*s own league but with a girls section. and that was it. off you go. 11—bit space. well done, daisy. you're going to run in, anybody, change direction. as the leagues developed, they got more and more different age groups.

ijust wanted the girls to play football. kick your ball, maisie, kick your ball. and stop. 0bviously doing it for the young people but there is the social side of it as well, parents with family members. one big family. hello, you 0k? there you go. thank you. no worries at all. see you later. your right? congratulations.

my memory is we are just like a group of chavs to be honest, we used to play football in the back lanes. when we came together to play football it was like literally our life, it was a really enjoyable time of my football career. i think one of the main differences is that i can see more than one coach for the whole session. i think itjust used to be paul on his own, bless him, but obviously the detail that the girls go nowadays, the coaches are a lot more advance. we're just sort of thrown together and playing football like we were in the back lanes. it is crazy when i come back, obviously since playing for england you are recognised a little bit more and it is still a weird feeling because i'm still kind ofjust these girls but i've just grown up really, just not the game of football.

just love playing the game of football. hi, girls. it's always lovely to be back. do you want to pass it around? if i can't get any work, i think i can sell it for £1000 on ebay. laughs. pass it when you are done. how much of an influence did paul smith have on you, - on your grassroots career? to be honest, i don't think i would've gone on to play for england without paul, he actually used to drive us to training, he used to run the whole team. grassroots football, yes, they are really my happiest memories, getting up early on saturday, going to play football, travelling around with the girls, having a laugh, they are literally my happiest memories. did you have any doubts about if you are good enough to go up there and play?

i think i always doubted myself deep down, i always believed i was going to work hard, i was going to run the most they were my things, but as i got older and i was playing with these incredible players i always questioned, was a good enough to play with them? that's when i look at the gold medal, i know how much hard work has gone into that, and it was through that i got myself to that level so i definitely have doubts, it's like when people say do you get nervous before games? i was still nervous at 31, 32, 33. at the final of wembley, i was on the bench and i was so nervous! those things never go away. they are normal, really. i think of, like, the next level, what impact did that have on you? that whole tournament, i think i knew deep down it would be my last one so i think i kind of utilised every single moment, so the old trafford game, walking out in front of 70,000 people i was just taken aback

by the amount of support. if i could just put that feeling and a bottle and carry it around, yeah, it's incredible, i think it will be the best day of my life, i can't see anything else, but would definitely top that. keep working hard, keep helping each other as well, keep helping because at times you might need them and at other times they will need you. keep give working hard and thank you for your questions! boldon on three! one, two two, three! one, two, three! i loved it, she is massively inspiring. i love her! ijust love her. it was great to come and see the girls actually because it reminds us of me when i was that age with the badge on your chest and obviously the level has gone up a lot from when i was that age but it is so nice to speak to them, to hear theirjourneys but they sound like they really

want to learn, like they know what it takes to get to the top, they know it is going to be a long journey and a lot of hard work. i got hold of the age of nine i couldn't play with the boys anymore so i had to go and find a woman's team, a girls team and that is when i found boldon girls and paul smith and that is when i was so excited to find out and go from a boys team and i was like my wow! girls do play football and we can do this together! i think my role models were always like david beckham, stephen jerrara, male footballers because that is what i saw on tv but it is great now that the women's game, obviously it is more visible, it's more accessible. hopefully by winning this gold medal it will give girls a bit of bragging rights. if the boys though, girls can't play football, we can say,

well, there was the gamma wembley this year that was pretty good... it is good to reflect and say, look at how far we've come. obviously the structure now of the wsl, games being on tv, it is so much more visible but i think there is a whole other level that we can unlock. there is the under 15s team. there is the boldon and also the boldon all—stars which i play for. i met you through primary and then you through football. i feel like i trust you the same, like i have the same bond with you. my whole life has revolved around football. my whole life! i would say they are my best

friends, i have known leah for 1h years now, i met her in primary and i have known kyah... we have been really close in. 50 odd year ago, women are won't allow to play football entirely and i think there are like 50,000 people watching it at wembley that. the women had nothing to lose, like, they could go out there and they could put everything into it and if they lost, they lost, they had nothing to lose. i think they would have gotten so much hate for it. yes, like people saying, you couldn't do it, but they went and did it. that is what i want to be a part of. i have watched loads of videos and tik—toks of them, it is likely our family. it is like a family.

at the all—stars, we have three coaches. we have jamie who is my dad. me and my dad, i am not allowed to treat him different and me has to treat him different and he is not allowed to treat me different but he doesn't stick to that rule because he likes to be more angry at me. him and my mum both say it is because they one what is best for us but i don't believe them. two laps, girls! they are a bunch of rockets, live wires. they are just outgoing, fun, football is the lifeblood they are an absolutely outstanding bunch of girls who live for each other and the team. when you have possession of the ball, make a bid. the england women's team has just inspired so many girls to play football and it is brilliant that the girls football is getting more competitive, there is a lot more money in the men's game but hopefully that is where the women's game will get to and i am happy to be part of it,

getting girls playing football. i think the first game of the season is really important, we need a good first game to show that we have developed. we have put 100% in for that. 0k, girls, and you come. two there will be a lot of excitement from the girls but in the back of the heads they will have a little bit of nervousness because they have to show that we are still those top team. i don't think inaudible it should be a good game. it will start good. being captain, you have an important role. you have to keep the team going, yourself going, all of the others around you. i think there is always pressure and everything you do but the pressure can always drive you. lets have a good start of the day,

as a season, let's go show it in this game. come on, girls! whsitle the girls are always on fire, they are entertaining to watch, superb. they are doing well, theyjust need to go. they are all over them. i think it will be a goal just before halftime. i it is coming. applause. just scored, you? we have played really well, first time, the ball has gone down there, we have conceded but that is football. they will pull it back. go, move the ball as get across! just scored!

proud of her. them last 50 minutes is what we are about because we are now creating chances which is what we went during the first half. chances which is what we weren't during the first half. the subs will be coming on soon. let's give it a good go, 0k? right. i have hurt my hamstring, i had to come off with a hamstring. i think if you are going to be able to get back the way you were... you just have to do sit out for a while. sometimes it can be difficult, especially if you know you are having a bad game. sometimes you're like i can't really

keep going but you know you have to give them going. keeping yourself going as well. a lot of girls around you, you see them starting to talk and helping you on. as long as you try to keep yourself going, keep the girls go, everything will work out fine. that second half was a totally different level to how you started the first 30 minutes.

that is ours, that is what we can do! happy with the final score, couldn't really ask anything more, really, that is what you want. it was unbelievable, watching that, knowing you are a part of that whether you are on the pitch on it. be honest about it, i said this to you before, it was hurting you last night, you should have said i need to stop instead of pushing yourself, all right? get your head up, you? i think i'm on the right path. at the minute i'm getting the best coaching i could, possibly... especially from shannon, she is amazing. ijust need her to keep being abia not forget who she is, she needs to keep working hard because i no doubt that she cannot progress and play where she needs to be.

it would be an amazing feeling to be a professional footballer. having a stadium full of fans, the atmosphere you would get from it. i think it's a really difficult part to get there but i think if you put in the hard work then you'll be able reach it. i hope for the future, especially for my girls is just to progress the best they possibly can, and if they gave up i offered a good stamp on them to be the best that they can be. whether they still play football as a hobby, professional, ijust hope they keep loving the game and keep going with it.
