have beaten haiti, who were playing in the world cup for the first time. haiti produced a strong performance and the game was decided by a single goal. georgia stanway scoring from a twice taken penalty in the 29th minute. her first effort was saved, but var ordered it to be retaken as the keeper had moved off her line, but she made no mistake the second time. live now to angela walters in surrey. she's the head of girls football at beacon hill fc and she has some of her players with her. thanks so much forjoining us. take us through the game. i understand you watched it. what did you make of it? , ., . ., , you watched it. what did you make of it? , ., a a, , , it? yes, we watched it. it was very excitina. it? yes, we watched it. it was very exciting- the _ it? yes, we watched it. it was very exciting. the girls _ it? yes, we watched it. it was very exciting. the girls really _ it? yes, we watched it. it was very exciting. the girls really enjoyed i exciting. the girls really enjoyed it. a little bit disappointed with the scoreline, however haiti produced a very good performance out there. we think their keeper did very well in the game. obviously very well in the game. obviously very pleased that we have come away

think is a shame. we have got quite a lot of goalkeepers and our teams that would have liked to have bought those this time. but i think it will grow, the more women�*s football is publicised, and the more we see england win. i think it is definitely a growing sport for women and girls. aha, definitely a growing sport for women and uirls. �* ., ., ., ., definitely a growing sport for women anduirls. �* ., ., ., ., ., and girls. a lot to look forward to in the future, _ and girls. a lot to look forward to in the future, thanks _ and girls. a lot to look forward to in the future, thanks so - and girls. a lot to look forward to in the future, thanks so much - and girls. a lot to look forward to in the future, thanks so much for| in the future, thanks so much for speaking to us. angela walters, head of girls�* football. japan pulled off a dominant performance at their opening match of the tournament with a 5—0 win over debutants zambia. and earlier, defending champions the united states kicked off their campaign for an unprecedented third consecutive title with a 3—0 win over vietnam. sophia smith was their star — she scored the first goal in the 14th minute and added a second just before half time. lindsay horan got the third in the 77th minute.

it might even have been 4—0 but alex morgan missed a penalty in the first half whilst megan rapinoe came on in the second half to make her 200th appearance for the usa. live now to speak to lesley rider and emily anderson, co—founders of gal pal sports. welcome. i wonder if you could take us through the us game. it was quite exciting. it was a debut for vietnam. it exciting. it was a debut for vietnam-— exciting. it was a debut for vietnam. . , ., . ., ., vietnam. it was quite a coming out -a for vietnam. it was quite a coming out party for vietnam. _ vietnam. it was quite a coming out party for vietnam, as _ vietnam. it was quite a coming out party for vietnam, as well - vietnam. it was quite a coming out party for vietnam, as well as - vietnam. it was quite a coming out party for vietnam, as well as for i party for vietnam, as well as for sophia smith. it was great to see her get that first goal out of the way. her get that first goal out of the wa . , her get that first goal out of the wa , , ., , ., her get that first goal out of the wa. ., ,, her get that first goal out of the wa. , ., ,, ,, way. tell us about sophia smith. she is ruite a way. tell us about sophia smith. she is quite a young _ way. tell us about sophia smith. she is quite a young player, _ way. tell us about sophia smith. she is quite a young player, isn't - way. tell us about sophia smith. she is quite a young player, isn't she? i is quite a young player, isn�*t she? she is young, but she is extremely talented. eversince she is young, but she is extremely talented. ever since she got into our domestic league she has been on

worst—case scenarios. georgina rannard explains. sweltering temperatures in spain and dangerous wildfires in greece. millions have struggled through powerful heatwaves around the world in recent days. now scientists are poring over a run of climate records that have not only been broken, but smashed, and alarm bells are ringing. it�*s true to say that the models, the climate models that we have, do a very good job of predicting the climate system, but in the kind of larger scale. so, the fact that we�*re seeing the world warming because of greenhouse gases is not unexpected. but seeing some of these records being broken, you know, these marine heatwaves in the north atlantic, the severe decrease in antarctic sea ice was not expected, and is something that we�*re going to have to work to try and understand. and this is why they�*re worried. for decades, the global average temperature has been getting higher and higher.

then, injuly this year, it broke through 17 degrees for the first time. the record for the hottest day on earth fell notjust once, but three times in a week. and it�*s notjust the land that�*s hot. the oceans, which take up most of the world�*s heat, are seeing unprecedented temperatures. the north atlantic and seas off the uk coast are up to five degrees hotter than average. and there�*s another worrying abnormality. sea ice in the antarctic is extremely low for the time of year — 10% lower than usual. we know that the planet is warming because of greenhouse gases pumped into the atmosphere by humans burning oil, coal and gas. the world will also be hotter because of el nino, a powerful, naturally occurring weather pattern that started in june. but scientists say these records constantly being broken are not yet a sign that the climate is in collapse. they say there is time to use the solutions we have to keep the planet as liveable as possible. georgina rannard, bbc news.

in greece, the heatwave there is set to be longest in greece�*s history, according to the country�*s weather institute. it�*s currently facing its hottest july weekend in 50 years, with temperatures in some areas climbing to 45 celsius — that�*s 113 fahrenheit. our reporter azadeh moshiri is in lagonisi, southeast of athens, and sent us this update. it is extremely hot here in greece. you can tell by the heat around me, if you were here, you would feel it is scorching. it is making difficult to see right now, that is how bright the sun is. while that might be great for the beach—goers behind me, for greece, a country that has been battling wildfires throughout the week, it is particularly difficult and concerning. officials are still warning of a high risk of wildfires as they keep battling blazes. right now that wildfire is focused on the island of rhodes, and they are warning that the next few days could see the mainland have further flare—ups as well.

away from the wildfires themselves, the people in the city of athens, for example, they could be experiencing temperatures in the mid to high 40s, for six to seven days more. for people who work in the acropolis, that is unbearable. that is why archaeological sites like the acropolis are going to be shut between noon to 5:30pm, to protect the workers, as well as tourists. so, regionally, where are we looking? i know that greece has been struggling, but this has really been millions of people around the world have been struggling with the heat in the past few weeks. that�*s right, it has been affecting the northern hemisphere, the united states has really struggled. temperatures have been extremely high in the south in particular, in phoenix, arizona. they have been dealing with temperatures of around 43 celsius for three weeks.

they are warning that temperatures could reach 46 celsius in phoenix, arizona. that led to a dangerous scene where tanks exploded in a propane business that was near the airport. the fire captain there said that those tanks essentially became missiles. southern europe as a whole has been affected by the temperatures as well. staying with the climate. the number of people known to have died in recent flooding in south korea has risen to a7. last weekend, 13 people died in an underpass after they became trapped in vehicles as floodwaters poured into the tunnel. the heavy rain has also triggered landslides in some areas — with thousands of people displaced and many homes destroyed. preparations are underway for more monsoon rains expected this weekend. earlier, we spoke to yuna ku, who is a reporter with the bbc korean service in seoul. she told us more about the

preparations that are being made. you�*ll make the rescue team is still in search of missing people who have possibly been swept away. the emergency service confirmed 47 people dead and some people still missing, and some are still yet to return home. we are now seeing another monsoon period and local governments have been inspecting sites that are prone to floods, like riverside walkways and slopes and underpasses, and they are making sure that drainage facilities are operating properly. we can say that it is unprecedented, but we cannot be sure, because monsoon period has not officially ended. it is not raining in seoul right now, but people in the south—western regions

are already starting to see some drop since saturday morning. according to the state weather agency, more heavy rain is expected across the country, which could be up to 115 million metres, depending on the location. according to the agency report it showed that this year�*s monsoon period started onjune 25, and average precipitation was 591 millimetres as of last thursday. this is the highest number ever recorded within the same time period, which is more than twice the average. sir keir starmer has said that there was "something very wrong" when a labour party policy was on "each and every tory leaflet". it comes after labour was attacked during a by—election in borisjohnson�*s former constituency uxbridge and south ruislip, mayor sadiq khan�*s plan to expand a scheme to charge for the most polluting vehicles. he was speaking to the party�*s national policy forum

in nottingham. in an election, policy matters. we are doing something very wrong if policies put forward by the labour party end up on each and every tory leaflet. sir tony blair and sir keir starmer have led tributes to the former labour mp ann clwyd, who has died at the age of 86. she represented her constituency in south wales for 35 years, becoming the oldest woman to sit in the house of commons before standing down in 2019. the formerjournalist held a series of front bench posts in opposition including shadow welsh secretary and shadow international development secretary. she also campaigned to highlight the atrocities of saddam hussein against the iraqi kurds and was a strong supporter of the 2003 invasion of iraq.

thousands of rail workers are on strike again today in their row over pay and conditions. passengers are being warned to check before they travel as the getaway for the school summer holiday is likely to be disrupted by cancelled services. our correspondent noor nanji joins me now from paddington station in london. as you can see, the station here is pretty busy of the sort of numbers you might expect to see on a saturday afternoon. this is of course a very big weekend for travel, because you have the summer school holidays getting under way for millions of people in england and wales. but it is expected that the station will start to empty out over the day. that is because a lot of services are ending earlier than usual because of this rail strike. this strike is by members of the rmt union at 1a train companies. it is

the latest strike in a long—running dispute overjobs, pay and working conditions. it is a dispute that doesn�*t seem to have any clear end in sight. the rmt says its members have been angered by plans to close hundreds of ticket offices and england. added to that you also have the fact that today is the last day of the current overtime ban from members of the aslef union, that is train drivers. that is having an impact as well. the disruption will vary depending on where you are in the country. the advice is to check before you travel. elsewhere on the transport network, there is disruption are selected on the roads. the roads are usually busy, as it is the summer getaway. there will be more congestion as usual because people will be trying to avoid the trains because of the strikes. the airports as well are expecting some disruption. that is because there are a lot of people heading away. abta expects 2 million

holiday—makers will be heading overseas this weekend. last summer we had a lot of disruption at airlines and airports. a lot of that was to do with staff shortages. airports and airlines say they have taken steps airports and airlines say they have ta ken steps to airports and airlines say they have taken steps to minimise the disruption this time around, but there are still worries over things like congestion and european airspace. on top of that there will be scrutiny in the port of dover. that is because at easter we saw, and also in the summer, we saw long queues heading out of there. we have been told they could be waiting tax of up to two and a half hours. the advice remains to check before you travel, wherever you are trying to get away. travel, wherever you are trying to net awa . ., ~ travel, wherever you are trying to net awa. ., ~' ,, travel, wherever you are trying to retawa. ., ,, ,, travel, wherever you are trying to retawa. ., ,, ., , get away. thank you, speaking to us from paddington _ get away. thank you, speaking to us from paddington station. _ a major review of pregnancy loss services in england says women should have access to specialist miscarriage care 2a hours a day, seven days a week. it�*s estimated there are around 500 miscarriages every day in the uk,

but many women lose their babies at home, with very little support or pain relief. and a warning — there are some graphic descriptions of baby loss in?tulip mazumdar�*s report, which some viewers may find upsetting. rachel has been documenting her pregnancy journey on tiktok. she suffered four miscarriages. her second was particularly traumatic. it was, unfortunately, i believe, over a weekend period. and so, the advice i was really kind of given was, it seems like you�*re having another miscarriage, have plenty of bed rest, and take some pain relief if needed, and kind ofjust wait it out. at one point i went to the bathroom, and as i went and pulled down my underwear, my baby fully intact in its sac with a tiny little placenta, which was literally no bigger than a £2 coin, fell and sat into my underwear.

rachel�*s is sadly not an uncommon story, which is why the review is calling for a miscarriage helpline and 2a hour access to specialist early pregnancy units, developing a container to store the baby�*s remains if a loss happens at home, and support and advice offered after one miscarriage instead of three. 250,000 women a year experience a miscarriage. in a lot of cases, we can't prevent a miscarriage. but what we can do is try and make that process that women and their partners are going through less traumatic in order to limit the ongoing effects. another key recommendation in this review is to start offering certificates to parents whose babies die before 2a weeks. at the moment, some families are given little notes, like this one. but from october, the plan is to offer them an official government document to acknowledge their loss.

i want to see people stopping having to hit google to find out what care should i be receiving? where should i be going for support? this support should be easily available to every single person, and it should be offered to every person who is suffering. it�*s notjust the mother who�*s carrying the child. it needs to be also offered to their partner. the government says it�*s looking into all 70 recommendations and starting to take action on some of them. a year since her last miscarriage, rachel is now mum to baby thomas. i would love to tell him about the siblings he could have had. i want to educate him that pregnancy and creating life and children isn�*t as simple as getting that positive pregnancy test. and it�*s why i created my tiktok account, to support and make people aware of what can happen and make them not feel alone. tulip mazumdar, bbc news.

oscar—winning actorjamie foxx says he is on his way back and returning to work after being hospitalised earlier this year. in april, his daughter corrine foxx said he had experienced a "medical complication" but the family did not share details about his health issue. in an instagram post on saturday, foxx thanked his family for keeping details about his health "airtight". here�*s our reporter chi chi izundu for more on this. this is the first time we are really hearing from jamie foxx, since his hospitalisation back in april. we still don�*t know the details, and he wasn�*t explicit with the details in his instagram post, but he did thank his family and friends. he said it was his daughter and sister who saved his life, and that he is coming back to work. i went to hell and back and my road to recovery has had some potholes as well, but i am coming back and i am able to work so i want to thank

the people that let me work and i just want to say that i love everybody and all the love that i got, and i know they talk about people crying on videos, but i am not going to do a take 2, it is what it is. now you can see that jamie foxx was pretty emotional in that video on instagram. he didn�*t go into detail on what exactly is wrong with him, but he did state that his road to recovery had been littered with potholes and he was still trying to get better. he clarified that he is not blind, he is not paralysed, but he is still trying to get better. what we do know is that back in april, he was filming a movie for netflix, and then there were a raft of prayers and messages from other celebrities and his daughter, asking for prayers because he had medical complications. we still don�*t know what those medical complications are, and at the end of that video,

jamie actually states that he didn�*t want people to remember him with lots of tubes coming out of him whilst he didn�*t know whether he would make it. he specifically said that he wanted to be remembered for the jokes he cracks, the movies he makes, and the songs he sings. he iterated that he is on his way back. from monday, children aged ten and eleven will be able to use passport e—gates at the uk border. currently, twelve is the minimum age for using e—gates. the change follows successful trials at airports in london. more information on that all available on the bbc news website. stay with us here on bbc news.

hello. for many parts of the uk it has turned into a soggy saturday. not for everyone though. this was the scene earlier in the north—east of scotland. compare that with the scene in staffordshire, with the rain just hammering down, thanks to this area of cloud, this complex weather system moving its way across the uk. northern parts of scotland, sticking out into something drier and brighter, albeit with a strong chance of some showers a bit of rain in southern scotland, heavy rain at times for northern ireland and across england and wales. there will be some drier gaps in between the heavy downpours, quite windy in the south—west corner, temperatures suppressed, 16 to 19 degrees at best. through this evening and tonight, we will continue to see outbreaks outbreaks of rain coming and going across parts of england, wales,

northern ireland, perhaps into scotland. it will be misty and murky in places. temperature—wise, may be down to six or 7 degrees in some parts of northern scotland. more generally, ten to 16 degrees, and certainly mound where you keep and certainly mild where you keep the cloud and rain. into tomorrow, this area of low pressure continues to track slowly eastwards and this frontal system here will make for some quite heavy and persistent rain, especially across parts of northern england, into north wales as well. there could be enough rain to give rise to some localised flooding, particularly after what has been a soggy day today. it doesn�*t bode massively well for the cricket at old trafford. it may turn a little drier and brighter later on, but even if that happens, there is the chance for some pretty hefty showers. to the north and south of that rain band, we will see some spells of sunshine, but also some scattered showers, some heavy, possibly thundery, and the windiest weather on sunday likely to be across coastal parts of south—east england. a slightly warmer day, temperatures between 16 and 23 degrees. that is still no great shakes for this time of year.

as we move out of sunday and into monday, this frontal system should slip southwards. the area of low pressure moves away. that leaves us in quite a cool, northerly flow of air for the start of the new week. temperatures below par for the time of year, and actually, the week ahead remains unsettled and rather cool. goodbye for now.
