their campaigns including spain including why they are one of the favourites to win the trophy. this is not the team spain thought it would represent them at the world cup last september, 15 players rebelled againstjorge and only three are in the squad now. but chaos behind that was not apparent on the stage, spain outclassed costa rica and their defender into an accident. one of the surviving rebels is also one of the best players in the world. that is why just two minutes later. spain at 80% of this match but it all the damage in a six minute window in the game was shut and locked by gonzales. from wellington to melbourne where the dar was checking for a penalty against nigeria and group b it was given in the score was 0—0 and christine sinclair was trying to

become the first player to score in six world cups. stopping history and perhaps more importantly a canadian victory. a match of huge significance for the philippines and the world cup debut, big moment for trade by a slight touch, costing them a penalty against switzerland. something of a mood chiller because once ramona had scored, this was to control and adding a second. victory in one of the worlds southernmost towns and things for the swiss looking up. you can follow all of the community and you can check out all that and more on the website. amsterdam has banned cruise ships from the city centre. it's part of the dutch capital's latest attempts to limit visitor numbers and curb pollution. the city council said the ships weren't in line with its sustainable ambitions. a 2021 study of one big cruise ship found that it had produced
8:35 pm
the same levels of nitrogen oxides — in one day — as 30,000 trucks. this has sparked a lot of discussion about the ways in which we travel — so we had a look at one popular route to compare the co2 emissions. this is paris to amsterdam — the flight emits ten times more co2 than the train. and — more than one million people fly the route every year. well, for more on this, let's speak to faraz khan who has formed a company which helps businesses become more sustainable. thank you. what you think of this [an to thank you. what you think of this plan to ban _ thank you. what you think of this plan to ban cruise _ thank you. what you think of this plan to ban cruise ships? - thank you. what you think of this| plan to ban cruise ships? frankly, thank you. what you think of this i plan to ban cruise ships? frankly, i recounise plan to ban cruise ships? frankly, i recognise the _ plan to ban cruise ships? frankly, i recognise the issues _ plan to ban cruise ships? frankly, i recognise the issues and _

newly released figures on royal finances have reveleaed a surge in revenues for the past year. one report by the new york times finding a boost coming from property now owned on behalf of the king. he papers' investigation has found the king made $34 million from rising rents of properties in his portolio — known as the duchy of lancaster. the duchy is passed down from monarch to monarch and covers more than 18,000 hectares of land — in areas such as lancashire and yorkshire, including the historic knaresborough castle, as well as property in central london. the times reports king charles s private income from the duchy was £26.2 million, about £2 million more than queen elizabeth's was. the duchy of lancaster is not the king or royal family's only source of income — there is also the sovereign grant — which is the annually paid taxpayer—funded settlement. well i'm nowjoined byjand bradley from the new york times

in a 2p and that that she said that with this it is led to values and increasing commercial properties and all in all, the accounts showed that child seems to whether the financial crisis that so many ordinary people did pretty well and the profits were up did pretty well and the profits were up in the revenues are up and more significantly, the private income which of the royals have is also up. and the increase in rent, i think you mentioned it there, but the reason is, refurbishment to the properties themselves in an era of inflation with costs of everything going up and so, theyjust passed those costs on. i do going up and so, they 'ust passed those costs omh going up and so, they 'ust passed those costs on. i do not know how lona the those costs on. i do not know how long the expense _ those costs on. i do not know how long the expense centura - those costs on. i do not know how long the expense centura printed| those costs on. i do not know how i long the expense centura printed but it's been a long time for me and for the landlord reason in putting up

8:43 pm
into a sleepy, landed gentry estate into his portfolio and showed how business savvy and driven he was. the other big sum of money is linked to the public taxpayer grant that the royals get. that is called the crown estate and that is basically national property portfolio that belongs to the state but also the sovereign owns it in a way that holds the crowd it is not entitled to make profit from that but making money from that and the percentage of profit the crown the state makes is handed over to the government and the government, and return gives the royals a taxpayer—funded grant, the sovereign grant exchange of yesterday, the government announced that the annual payment he gives the royals will drop from 25% i2% of
8:44 pm
these profits that the king hands over from the crown estate. so, fans of the king walk and this is a set of the king walk and this is a set of generosity and the king social awareness in light of the ongoing cost—of—living crisis and anyone who looks at the numbers closely will note a couple of things. the first is that the sum for the sovereign grant for £86 million will remain the same and that is because of a huge profit but the estate is made from offshore wind farms and secondly, this percentage taking the number down from the original amount of the royals are meant to get from this government grant and it's only temporarily of 25% instead of 15% to help govern repairs and as the guardian reported communion with the temporary freeze or drop of the percentage of times the money, charles is still in line for
8:45 pm
mesentery rights by 2025 when the government is set to increase the payment from 86,000,200 £25 million. to be fair to the royals, this money cannot be spent on anything, it is not private income, it is carefully accounted into mardi gras expenses. the official duties —— on official expenses. the official duties -- on official menses-— the official duties -- on official exenses. ., ., ., ., , ., expenses. from a real family to reporting? _ expenses. from a real family to reporting? at — expenses. from a real family to reporting? at buckingham - expenses. from a real family to i reporting? at buckingham palace, they declined _ reporting? at buckingham palace, they declined to _ reporting? at buckingham palace, they declined to comment - reporting? at buckingham palace, they declined to comment in - reporting? at buckingham palace, they declined to comment in the l they declined to comment in the duchy of lancaster pointed to their press release where it had made its profits from and had taken some money from rent values increasing in refurbishment and things like that. thank you so much for coming on the programme and tucking us through that. —— talking us through that.

hello. don't expect it to look or feel much like summer. this weekend the weather is looking decidedly unsettled. it will feel rather cool. it will often be windy and there will be some outbreaks of rain at times. how much rain? well, this chart shows how much we're expecting to accumulate over the next few days. the wettest places are likely to be across northern ireland, parts of wales, and perhaps most especially across the north of england, but most places getting at least a dose of wet weather thanks to this frontal system pushing its way in from the west. quite a complex frontal system. there will be various pulses of heavy rain running along it as it slides its way eastwards. moving its way into the picture, certainly, as we go on through tonight. will stay mostly dry, i think, down towards the south east of england and also in the north of scotland. and here with clear skies overhead, it is actually going to get quite chilly like the last few nights.
8:57 pm
temperatures in some spots down to three orfour degrees, but milder further south underneath the influence of the areas of cloud, the outbreaks of rain, with this wriggling frontal system continuing to move its way through. so a really soggy saturday in prospect across parts of northern ireland. northern england looking very, very wet indeed. that rain getting up into southern and maybe central parts of scotland, wales, the south west of england. towards the south east corner, rain not arriving until quite late in the day, but for southern areas it will turn quite windy. in fact, for southern and western coast we could see gusts of a0 to maybe 50 mph in the most exposed spots. temperatures just 15—19 degrees. northern scotland always seeing the best of the brightness, albeit with one or two showers. saturday evening, well, a bit of a wash—out for many, staying driest once again in the north of scotland. and as we move on into sunday, well, this area of low pressure just continues to track its way eastwards. now, this frontal system will tend to clear away,
8:58 pm
but this one here is set to hang back on sunday. so across parts of southern scotland, northern ireland, north wales and north midlands, but most especially northern england, it looks like we will see rain continuing to pile up. elsewhere, sunny spells and scattered showers and temperatures between 16—22 degrees. so many places a little below par at this point injuly. and no big change into next week. more rain at times, some drier interludes, yes, and it will stay fairly cool.
