sport and for a full round—up, from the bbc sport centre, here's tolson. hello from the bbc sport centre. saudi arabian side al hilal are understood to have been given permission to talk to kylian mbappe, after reportedly making a world record bid of over $330 million for the paris st—germain forward. the 2a year old france captain only has a year remaining on his contract and french footballjournalist robin biner thinks it may happen. enough to consider the money that's in bold and the fact that psg want mbappe for the club. the fact that mbappe for the club. the fact that mbappe is quite happy to leave in 2024, obviously wants to move to madrid ultimately. were talking about a one—year deal. there is

every chance given the money involved, we're talking perhaps a's salary, cbs reporting 700 million euros per year. that's going to be hard for mbappe to turn down. but you're talking about that sort money you're talking about that sort money you have to give the chance that he will accept an offer. trevor francis, the footballer who became britain's first million—pound player, has died as the age of 69. the former england striker, broke the record with his move from birmingham city to brian clough�*s nottingham forest in 1979. he went on to win back to back european cups with forest and played for his country 52 times. his family say he died of a heart attack at his apartment in spain on monday. now to the women's world cup in australia and new zealand — brazil had a comfortable win in their opening match, beating debutants, panama, 4—0 in adelaide. ary borges was the star of the show scoring a hat—trick. the pick of the four brazillian goals though was the third,

scored by bia zaneratto, but the beautiful backheel to set it up came from borges. that puts them top of group f ahead of france and jamaica who have a point a—piece. germany began their world cup campaign in style with a 6—0 win in melbourne, beating another team making a first up appearance in morocco. alexandra popp scored twice in the first half as the germans completely dominated the match. they continued to cause problems after the break, as lea schuller completed the rout following two own goals from morocco. the win puts them top of group h on three points, with rivals colombia and south korea to play their opener in sydney on tuesday. translation: this match was really important to us. it was great to start this way, it gave us a lot of confidence. we had a good flow of the game and played calmly. 0f the game and played calmly. of course not everything went ultimately, that would be too much to ask in the first bag but how we

play today, how we create opportunities, that gives us a lot of confidence for the rest of the tournament. translation: as it stands we came across_ translation: as it stands we came across a _ translation: as it stands we came across a team today who is superior to our— across a team today who is superior to our own. — across a team today who is superior to our own, david and goliath. they had something today that we didn't. unfortunately, we made mistakes, we came across _ unfortunately, we made mistakes, we came across a better team so maybe it went _ came across a better team so maybe it went without saying that we were probably— it went without saying that we were probably going to lose. however, we didn't_ probably going to lose. however, we didn't need _ probably going to lose. however, we didn't need to concede six goals. elsewhere italy scraped past argentina, winning 1—0 in auckland. striker cristiana girelli came off the bench to head the 87th—minute winner. it looked like it was going to be a frustrating day for the italians who had two goals chalked off for offside offences. now to cricket where england have named an unchanged 14 man squad for the fifth and final ashes test match against australia starting at the 0val on thursday. england will be hoping to win the match and draw the series 2—all after being frustrated by the weather in the fourth match at old trafford. england were on top after three days

before rain scuppered their hopes of a victory, meaning australia retain the ashes. germany's liane lippert won the sprint for the line as she claimed victory on the second stage of the tour de france femmes. in a rainswept finale 25 year old lippert came through to take the win while belgium's lotte kopecky retained the overall race lead by 49 seconds with six stages remaining. and that's all the sport for now. we ta ke we take you straight to israel. live pictures are extraordinary scenes after tel aviv protesters out on the streets. we have been seeing some firefighters there to help small fires with up we've seen confrontations with security. 0fficials by the look of it have areas, plenty of anger from these protesters. the reason, the

government has passed into law its first planet change to the court system, basically changing the so—called reasonable bill which removes the supreme court's power to cancel government decisions it deems unreasonable. these protesters that we see now view this as government overreach. they say this is a step too far, it's eroding the checks and balances system in israel. and the conflict here between those protesters and the government is plunging israel some say into one of the most serious domestic crisis in its history effectively. these protests have a just been taking place today or yesterday, these have been every weekend sense pretty much the bidding of the year. totalling hundreds of thousands of protesters out in that time. it has been an

extraordinary standoff fundamentally, these protesters have failed in their bid to stop this first stage of change in the legislation. the prime minister benjamin yet net two netanyahu has been heavily criticised for these changes in his view his government is acting democratically. he is saying the supreme court and the judiciary has overreached its true role and therefore these changes are necessary. his critics fundamentally disagree with him on that. we're keeping across these live pictures from tel aviv. as we get more details about what is going on and what their plans are in the hours ahead we will head straight back there. george alagiah, one of the bbc�*s most highly—respected, and much—loved presenters, has died. he was 67 — and he'd been living with bowel cancer since 2014. george died at home

with his family today — nine years after being diagnosed with bowel cancer. george won many awards in a hugely successful career which took him from southern africa to many other parts of the world. the bbc�*s director general, tim davie, described him as "one of the best and bravestjournalists of his generation". but above all he was a very fine human being — as his friend and colleague allan little now reports. three, two, one... go tape. at six o'clock — the ground war on iraq has begun. millions knew him as the face of the six 0'clock news... good evening and welcome to the six o'clock news. ..and for his calm, unflappable authority. good evening and welcome to the bbc�*s news at six. he was born in sri lanka in 1955 to christian tamil parents. as a child the family moved to ghana. this is the road... and he was swept up in the early optimism of a young nation newly independent of british colonial rule.

we knew that africa was going to be united and that ghana, this country, was going to be at the centre of it, and i think that was a kind of dream. at 11 he was a migrant again, this time to england, where his parents enrolled him in a portsmouth boarding school. here, though there was some racism, he learned to adapt to a new culture and to thrive. at durham university he met his wife frances. i think when we got married, we were aware of a sort of meeting of cultures. you can see that in the wedding photos. we've got two sons, adam and matthew. in a turbulent and often dangerous working life, she and their two boys were the still and unwavering centre of his existence — his solid ground. and welcome to the rainbow nation. forjust over a year now, south africa has been my base as the bbc�*s africa correspondent. i knew george as a foreign correspondent.

we worked together in africa, the continent whose fate ran through his life like a thread through cloth. so, this is where... your house? hey? oh, it's nice, it's nice. i thought of him as a kind of mentor, i was inspired by his example. he was brave, calm and kind. ok, you get the water from here and do that. i admired his gift for reaching into the hearts of those caught up in war or natural disaster. winning their trust, even at the worst moments of their lives. in a refugee camp in eastern zaire, hundreds were dying every day of preventable illness. i asked her what she wanted from life. "a job," she said, "so i can look after little petty." in somalia he met a woman whose ten—year—old daughter had just died. his own children were about the same age. it seemed wrong to be there at what should have been a moment of private grief. she said it was all right if it might help to save her other daughter. i haven't the heart

to count and it doesn't really matter... there were moments when he crossed the line between merely witnessing and actively intervening in the pain of others. we took those we could manage to the french military hospital, at times like this it's impossible not to cross the line that divides us, the observers, and those we observe. the rwandese translator we worked with then, seth ngarambe, told us his tutsi wife had been murdered by hutu extremists. but he was later accused of complicity in her murder and jailed. george wanted to know the truth, however painful, and went to find him in prison. the nature of their reunion, the power of it, says something profound about the george we knew and his extraordinary talent. you're looking well, you're looking better than i thought. yes. hey? seth, can we go and talk somewhere? it's wonderful. he even charmed men at the heart of sierra leone's normally secretive diamond trading business. this is the biggest you've seen all day and... the world of the so—called

blood diamond. this is something to write home about? no, this is about $2,000, $2,500. so you're in the clear? in ghana, he went back to his old school. somewhere in here is me. go on, yes... well done! he would later say that he was destined to spend his adult life in africa dispelling the dream he had nurtured so carefully as a child. he was injohannesburg in the mandela years, a time of bright promise, mandela in his �*70s was about to remarry. and now, sir, the future, you're a man in love? it is a wonderful moment for me, as anybody else, to be in love. when he returned to the uk he brought to the studio a wealth of wisdom and experience gathered over years on the road. though in the seconds before his first six o'clock news,

there was some trepidation. at six o'clock, these are tonight's top stories... he was diagnosed with cancer in 2014. after a gruelling round of treatment and multiple operations, he couldn't wait to be back in the tumult of the newsroom. he was deeply moved by messages of support and affection sent in by countless viewers he would never meet. and on his first day back made this a small concession. and i just want to say it's...good to be back with you. off—screen, george was funny, clever, a generous and confiding friend and full of energetic hope. there was something infectious about his optimism. you always walked away from time with george feeling better about the human race and the world in general. and that's the bbc�*s news at six. the migrant boy whose family left sri lanka with nothing found his home in a changing britain and he took this country to his heart. it's goodbye, the news continues, though, here on bbc one... i watched george for years up close and thought this of him —

that people wanted to tell him their story because, in hisjournalism, they saw the outstretched hand of a shared humanity and of solidarity. remembering our colleague george alagiah. monday marks 100 days since the war in sudan started. 20 years on from darfur�*s genocide, it's that same region that is seeing the most casualties today. human rights groups have called it an ethnic cleansing.the para—military rapid support forces — rsf — has been fighting the sudanese army in khartoum since mid april. joining me now is ted chaiban, deputy executive director at humanitarian action and supply operations at unicef. thank you so much for coming on the program. so the worlds attention

inevitably focuses elsewhere. we all remember the news footage when it all started. can you bring us up to date what is happening there now, what of the impacts? 10c! date what is happening there now, what of the impacts?— date what is happening there now, what of the impacts? 100 days into this conflict — what of the impacts? 100 days into this conflict in _ what of the impacts? 100 days into this conflict in sudan, _ what of the impacts? 100 days into this conflict in sudan, what - what of the impacts? 100 days into this conflict in sudan, what has - this conflict in sudan, what has happened to children and their families is on imaginable. 24 million are in need of assistance, that's 14 million children in need of dire support since the beginning of dire support since the beginning of the conflict for hundred and 35 children have been killed. more than 2000 have been wounded. that's only what's reported. the actual numbers are much higher. it is a severe violation, a killing or injuring of a child every hourfor100 days. it a child every hour for 100 days. it is an extraordinary set of numbers. what is the kind of support that is most needed?— what is the kind of support that is most needed? . . , ., most needed? unicef and partners on the round most needed? unicef and partners on the ground are _

of the world's most elegant birds. wildlife presenter bill 0ddie brought them to our tv screens from spain. now they're in kent. a pair arrived from africa back in the spring, and now four chicks have fledged on marshland. the site has been designed for wading birds that might be moving north. more than 600 acres of former arable farmland transformed over the past five years into a wildlife haven. the werth marshes site is among a number of places the rspb have been preparing for new arrivals making space for nature as our climate changes. for more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news website. you're live with bbc news. twitter has launched its new logo, replacing the iconic blue bird with a white x on a black background as the elon musk—owned company moves

toward rebranding as x. musk had already named twitter�*s parent company the x corporation and has said his takeover of the social media giant was "an accelerant to creating x, the everything app". musk had previously said he wanted to create a super—app modeled on china's wechat, a social media platform that also offers messaging and mobile payments. what on earth is going on here? let's hear from social media commentator and ceo of battenhall communication agency, drew benvie. thank you for coming on the program. what is going on, why has he ditched the logo that we've all known for years and replace it with an exquisite back that's the big question. exquisite back that's the big cuestion. , , ., question. many brands would their riaht question. many brands would their ri . ht arm question. many brands would their right arm for— question. many brands would their right arm for an _ question. many brands would their right arm for an identity _ question. many brands would their right arm for an identity that - right arm for an identity that doesn't even need a word for anybody to know what it means. there's a lot of love for twitter as it was with logo itself is a note thing. this

has been a long time coming —— well—known thing. evidence buying twitter back in november elon musk has been talking about this idea for the brand x. it goes a lot further back the neck of the way back to 1999 when the way back to 1999 when elon musk originally launched or merged x with paypal. this is 25 years in the building. surprisingly a bit rushed out, overnight on a sunday night. a bit rushed out, overnight on a sunday night-— a bit rushed out, overnight on a sunda niuht. ,, . . ., , sunday night. strange. what is the reaction been? _ sunday night. strange. what is the reaction been? been _ sunday night. strange. what is the reaction been? been quite - sunday night. strange. what is the reaction been? been quite bad - sunday night. strange. what is the reaction been? been quite bad sol reaction been? been quite bad so far. reaction been? been quite bad so far- those — reaction been? been quite bad so far. those who _ reaction been? been quite bad so far. those who like _ reaction been? been quite bad so far. those who like twitter - reaction been? been quite bad so far. those who like twitter as - reaction been? been quite bad so far. those who like twitter as it i far. those who like twitter as it was i suppose don't like change. the logo and the brand itself as well as being rushed out it's quite dark, quite dystopian, not what many people want from a social network. especially not twitter. many are asking for greater safety on twitter, something that has been declining over the months, according to many. this paints the picture of

something, we talked earlier about innovation in that ceo and owner are talking about new features launching rapidly. what we've seen is rapidly launched features don't work properly and the not keeping people safe with him is not been received too well so far.— too well so far. what about this idea of this _ too well so far. what about this idea of this everything - too well so far. what about this idea of this everything at? - too well so far. what about this idea of this everything at? they too well so far. what about this - idea of this everything at? they are moving away from just text, video and social messages back and forth and social messages back and forth and posting tweets, it's about everything from you can make payments to each other, by things, what is this all about was that in some parts of the world this concept of super app is quite common. but not of super app is quite common. emit not everywhere. the everything out but not everywhere. you got in china we chop and singapore, you do a lot of things in 1—out becomes feature—rich for the camps feature rich was a pain meds as a shopping also. it's quite hard to compete on so many different levels with so many different types of apps. for twitter to beat social net works has been hard enough. to be payment

absent shopping apps is going to be quite a mountain to climb. interesting. is this another sign that twitter is on the way out? i feel like a, i'm talking to you every week and were always talking about twitter. it's strange way doing something right. is this nearing the end? i doing something right. is this nearing the end?— doing something right. is this nearing the end? doing something right. is this nearin: the end? ~ ., nearing the end? i think we need to look beyond — nearing the end? i think we need to look beyond twitter. _ nearing the end? i think we need to look beyond twitter. everyone's - look beyond twitter. everyone's talking about instagram st quitter competitor but what's been rumbling under is a bigger app than all of them, tick tock which launched what it calls text approach, which is pretty much twitter. it launched a month and a half ago and officially launched it to day. i think what's going on here is actually a big war for simple social networking and save social networking. and twitter is failing to keep up the pace with him is doing things like changing the brink changing the name when it's bigger competitors are actually

offering a quicker, better service places like threads and tiktok tx post seem to be winning the race. interesting. great to hearfrom post seem to be winning the race. interesting. great to hear from you as always. thank you for coming on the program. let's talk about two movies that got the world's attention at the box office this past weekend. barbie and 0ppenheimer delivered the strongest opening weekend at the box office this year. the barbenheimer phenomenon. there was a huge marketing blitz from toymaker mattel and warner bros, the barbie film was always expected to do well. globally its estimated to have made around $337 million during its opening weekend. in north america, barbie made $155 million alone, which makes it the fourth—highest grossing film debut ever in north america. it's only behind two instalments of the avengers franchise and a star wars film. 0ppenheimer also delivered, it made $174 million worldwide,

which was much higher than expected. larushka ivan—zadeh, who is a film critic. the amount of publicity, we were talking about these films, especially barbie for what felt like forever. it seems to have work, everyone went out and watch them. yes and they're still going out to watch. 0n the train earlier i can hear everybody say which when you can see paris, got off the train and saw two people walking towards me and hot pink track suits allah barbie. it is become a phenomenon. what's genius about it is this hasn't happened before we you've got two really big movies coming up against each other. it doesn't happen often but it has happened before in 2080 christopher nolan film dark knight up against mama mia. cash 2008. the genius this time

is they've got a name for it. barbenheimer, the fact that they've come up for a name seems to have bathed in a crucialfactor and get everyone talking about it, that's the new thing almost rather than have two blockbusters going head—to—head. have two blockbusters going head-to-head._ have two blockbusters going head-to-head. ., ., ., ., head-to-head. you got to have the social media _ head-to-head. you got to have the social media meme. _ head-to-head. you got to have the social media meme. what - head-to-head. you got to have the social media meme. what about i head-to-head. you got to have the i social media meme. what about now? people have actually seen the film. we were talking about it a month before without people having seen it. have you seen it, is it good? i've seen it, you say it like... i see both. the winner really out of this as well is cinemas obviously, this as well is cinemas obviously, this is great news for them are audiences. both these films are top—quality films. they are both films are extraordinary and they challenge and redefine what a blockbuster would be. you might think you know what the barbie movie is going to be but it's got this very genius and clever feminist spin on barbie, which perhaps audiences

will be expecting. and 0ppenheim are about christopher and nolan, about the father of the atomic bomb, that's not what you expect from a summer blockbuster. 0ften that's not what you expect from a summer blockbuster. often comes in with dunkirk, the world war ii which you might think, all this sounds fun. light, easy watch in the summer to watch something about nuclear war. but it's an absolutely staggering watch. the audiences of the winners here.— staggering watch. the audiences of the winners here. great to have you on. thank the winners here. great to have you on- thank you _ the winners here. great to have you on. thank you so _ the winners here. great to have you on. thank you so much. _ the winners here. great to have you on. thank you so much. absolutely| on. thank you so much. absolutely fascinating topic. i have to confess, i was working this weekend so i haven't seen either. i will go out and see them on your recommendation. thank you very much for that. i will be back in a couple of minutes. i am i will be back in a couple of minutes. iam lewis i will be back in a couple of minutes. i am lewis vaughanjones, this is bbc news. hello. southern parts of europe are still baking in that heatwave, whereas in our neck of the woods

the weather is the exact opposite, it's changeable, it's rainy. it's on the cool side and the outlook remains the same for the rest ofjuly and also into august. unsettled with rain at times, frequent showers and, in fact, large weather systems being spawned by the fairly strong jet stream across the atlantic, and here is the animation over the next five days or so. the forecast showing that meandering jet stream, and meandering jet stream is an indication of these low pressures being spawned across the atlantic. now, the jet stream has crucially been to the south of us, which means that that cooler air has been often invading us from the northern climes, whereas in the south, we've got the heat. and indeed, on tuesday, sicily may once again hit 47 celsius, we had that on monday. this could happen again on tuesday. we could even nudge up to around 48 celsius, which would come close to the all—time european temperature record — the maximum. let's have a look at the weather across our part of the world for the next few hours. satellite picture showing a fair

amount of cloud across the uk. it's been a showery day for many of us, and this is the case through tonight. there will be clear spells around here and there, but frequent showers crossing parts of northern and central scotland, and there will be showers elsewhere out towards the southwest. the early morning temperatures around 8—11 celsius. so the forecast for tuesday then shows a fair amount of bright weather or first thing, even some decent lengthy spells of sunshine, but then the clouds will once again bubble up in this unstable air mass, and we will see showers forming, heaviest of which should occur across these more eastern and northeastern parts of the country. i think the best of the weather will be the further west you are, and certainly closer to the coast. temperatures 17—21 celsius. now, here's another weather map, a different look with the pressure lines there, the isobars, and at low pressure approaching us, our neck of the woods, on wednesday. now, early in the day, i think there will be some sunshine around, but through the afternoon, this weather front will spread

across the country. initially, it will turn wet in northern ireland and these western fringes of the uk, but come the evening hours, i think all of us will have least some rain. here's the outlook for the week ahead and into the weekend, very little change, unsettled, temperatures below average.

hello, i'm lewis vaughanjones. you're watching the context on bbc news. you come across a scene,

well, like this. it's still smouldering. that, of course, was someone's livelihood completely destroyed. this is where there were sunbeds. two buses arrived and there was a scramble. there was women, children, screaming their lungs out. it was just horrific. the foreign office advice is to stick very close i to your tour company. they are the people, - the tour operators, who know best what you should do. 0n the greek island of rhodes the fires are still burning and extra flights are trying to get people out. we'll look at the emergency operation and the damage that's being done. also in the programme. in israel the mass protests haven't worked. the parliament passes

a controversial bill to limit the power of the courts.
