to the regime you know. we will hear all about that and the african leaders summit that is under way in st. petersburg. before that we are going to check on the sport put up at the sport centre tonight, mark edwards. hello, christian. we've had ourfirst major shock at the women's world cup — and it leaves the co—hosts — and one of the pre—tournament dark horses — australia, staring elimination in the face. that's after they lost to nigeria — a team ranked 30 places below them. however, it was australia who took the lead through former west ham midfielder emily van egmond with a smart finish. but nigeria fought back — scoring three goals of their own. asisat oshoala with what proved to be the winner in a 3—2 victory. australia face the olympic champions canada in theirfinal match —

knowing they'll need to avoid defeat to stand a chance of reaching the last 16. but what a day for nigerian football. i'm good to give kudos to my team—mates for the they play their heart out. no one knows what this team is made. we only have to come to the field and show ourselves like i said earlier, this team has a lot to offer. everyone in the world has seen that today. everyone in the world has seen that today. a surprise result too for the defending champions, the usa. they were held to a 1—1 draw by the netherlands — their opponents in 2019 final. despite 16 wins in a row, the top ranked side in the world needed their captain lindsay horan to dig out a point which keeps them top of their group, just ahead of the dutch on goal difference. portugal sit third in that group — just a point further back. they beat vietnam 2—0 — telma encarnasao with portugal's opener. it means a win against usa in their final group match

would put them through and knock the defending champions out. it would appear to be advantage australia — after the opening day of the fifth and final ashes test against england. england had looked in control early on — but suffered a batting collapse — losing three wickets for 11 runs to fall from 62 without loss to 73—3. harry brook was england's star man with the bat — star man with the bat scoring 85 offjust 91 balls to try and wrestle back momentum, but a second batting collapse saw australia seize the initiative, bowling england out for 283. the tourists closed on 61 for one — 222 runs behind. the tours closing 61. two points behind. i the tours closing 61. two points behind. ~' ., ., , , . ., , behind. i think we got a respectable total there- — behind. i think we got a respectable total there- i _ behind. i think we got a respectable total there. i think _ behind. i think we got a respectable total there. i think we _ behind. i think we got a respectable total there. i think we got _ behind. i think we got a respectable total there. i think we got a - behind. i think we got a respectable total there. i think we got a few- total there. i think we got a few more than we were expecting. i think they bolt quite well. they had a decent day in the end as well. what decent day in the end as well. what about conditions, _ decent day in the end as well. what about conditions, did _ decent day in the end as well. what about conditions, did you feel you're in for a big task was that it was tough to start with.—

at the top of the leaderboard. home favourite celine boutier is one of her closest competitors — she's part of a group of four golfers on five under par. belgium's lotta kopecky is closing in on herfirst major cycling tour title as she continues to lead the tour de france femmes with three stages to go. kopecky finished fourth on stage five, 32 seconds behind the leader ricarda bauernfeind who attacked with 36km to go — and managed to race clear to win her first tour stage. kopecky keeps the yellowjersey with a lead of 43 seconds overall. and that's all the sport for now. soldiers in the west african country of niger have taken over the presidential palace in the capital niamey and announced a coup on national tv.

they said they had dissolved the country s constitution, suspended all institutions and have temporarily closed the nation's borders. niger 5 president mohamed bazoum has is being held by the presidential guard. the man leading the coup is col maj amadou abdramane. translation: this day, - july 23rd 2023, we, the defence and security forces, meeting within the national council for the safeguard of the homeland, have decided to put an end to the regime you know. this follows the continuing deterioration of the security situation, and poor economic and social governance. mr bazoum's whereabouts are yet unclear but in a statement on twitter on thursday morning he said the "hard—won gains will be safeguarded" and that nigeriens who love democracy will see to it. the president continues to be supported by the white house, who have expressed their concerns. we have watched this with deep concern, peter. we certainly condemn any effort to detain or to subvert the functioning of niger's democratically elected government.

we are still gathering facts here. and that government, as you know, is led by president bazoum. we specifically urge the elements of the presidential guard to release him from detention and to refrain from any violence. this further complicates western efforts to restore stability to the west african region known as the sahel. when neighbouring mali chose to partner up with russia's wagner group in place of the french government, paris moved its centre of operations in the region to niger. the governments in burkina faso, central african republic and mali have all decided they would rather work with russia's wagner mercenaries than any western force. the timing is interesting because it comes as african leaders gather in st petersburg for a summit with vladimir putin, and just a day after a parliamentary report here in the uk concluded that british efforts to counter wagner and its influence in africa were underwelming in the extreme . one man who provided evidence for that report is christopher steele, former head of the

russia desk at mi6. also with us is our russia editor steve rosenberg who has been watching the summit in st petersburg for us. i think there's a bit of a vacuum in the darkest parts of africa we've had the cartoon, the foreign aid marchers for not .7% of gdp was cut by the government a couple of years ago. despite the manifesto commitments. i think also there's a sense that perhaps we ignored the region where the greatest instability is at the moment. we are seeing some of that play out for that we have the events in sudan earlier and now we've got what's happening in nigeria. the earlier and now we've got what's happening in nigeria.— earlier and now we've got what's happening in nigeria. the role that it's -la ed happening in nigeria. the role that it's played in _ happening in nigeria. the role that it's played in nigeria _ happening in nigeria. the role that it's played in nigeria from - happening in nigeria. the role that it's played in nigeria from the - it's played in nigeria from the so—called enablers, the likes of the united arab emirates, india, what we don't often look at is how they enable the wegner group for that why not and why do we avoid any criticism? i

today. it's a smaller group of african leaders that have come. will they be preoccupied with macro choose return to the compton and or are there concerns in other directions?— are there concerns in other directions? . . ., �* ~ directions? -- wagner. i don't think ou will directions? -- wagner. i don't think you will be — directions? -- wagner. i don't think you will be talking _ directions? -- wagner. i don't think you will be talking publicly - directions? -- wagner. i don't think you will be talking publicly about. you will be talking publicly about wagheh — you will be talking publicly about wagner. certainly publicly food security— wagner. certainly publicly food security or food insecurity is being talked _ security or food insecurity is being talked about. obviously food prices are a _ talked about. obviously food prices are a concern to african leaders. after— are a concern to african leaders. after russia's full—scale invasion of ukraine — after russia's full—scale invasion of ukraine in february of last year. the black— of ukraine in february of last year. the black sea grain deal that the un managed _ the black sea grain deal that the un managed to broker did stabilise food prices _ managed to broker did stabilise food prices for— managed to broker did stabilise food prices for a _ managed to broker did stabilise food prices for a year or so. of course russia _ prices for a year or so. of course russia recently pulled out that deals — russia recently pulled out that deals with that is a big concern to many— deals with that is a big concern to many of— deals with that is a big concern to many of the african leaders. they will be _ many of the african leaders. they will be talking about at this summit _ will be talking about at this summit. vladimir putin came up to dayahd_ summit. vladimir putin came up to day and told african leaders again, it's hot— day and told african leaders again, it's not russia's fault. you know,

roger— it's not russia's fault. you know, roger weht— it's not russia's fault. you know, roger went into this grain deal in good _ roger went into this grain deal in good faith— roger went into this grain deal in good faith and what was promised to russia _ good faith and what was promised to russia in_ good faith and what was promised to russia in return was not carried out, _ russia in return was not carried out, there _ russia in return was not carried out, there was no help he said in helping _ out, there was no help he said in helping to export russian grain and russian _ helping to export russian grain and russian fertilisers so russia pulled out of— russian fertilisers so russia pulled out of the — russian fertilisers so russia pulled out of the deal. and he offered to provide _ out of the deal. and he offered to provide free grain to six african countries _ provide free grain to six african countries. so that was his sort of pr performance today at the summit. but wagner overshadows the summit. extraordinarily today we see a picture on the sidelines shaking the hand of an african leader. it’s hand of an african leader. it's amazing- _ hand of an african leader. it's amazing- he _ hand of an african leader. it's amazing. he wasn't mentioned at the summit— amazing. he wasn't mentioned at the summit publicly but that one photograph shaking hands with in it for show— photograph shaking hands with in it for show from the central african republic— for show from the central african republic taken within st. petersburg hotel is _ republic taken within st. petersburg hotel is quite extraordinary. when you think— hotel is quite extraordinary. when you think thatjust hotel is quite extraordinary. when you think that just over a hotel is quite extraordinary. when you think thatjust over a month

think they are now settling down to a calmer approach with up this evening actually a lot of the operations that wagner is been involved in abroad and particularly involved in abroad and particularly in africa will carry as before. all the main leaders of wagner is such that they are still in place. so it is utterly bizarre. it does suggest that putin has a use of prigozhin, that putin has a use of prigozhin, that prigozhin maybe it knows a lot about putin which putin does not want to become public. what i think is really significant is in the last year or so prigozhin has become a real hate figure amongst the elite in russia. in trying to sort of take over the black economy of st. petersburg and topple the government last autumn. the fact that putin is indulging him in this way it will go

now, on the earlier satellite picture, you can see we've had quite a lot of cloud, but some big breaks, some spells of sunshine. and thenjust behind me, this little swirl of clouds, that's the centre of an area of low pressure which will be pushing eastwards, bringing unsettled conditions for the next few days. in the short term, we keep quite a lot of cloud, mist and murk, some bits and pieces of rain overnight, although signs of some clearer skies edging in from the west. temperatures between 11 and 16 degrees. so, anotherfairly warm and muggy start to friday morning. so, for friday, quite a lot of cloud around across the eastern half of the uk to start. this band of rain moving very slowly across orkney and towards shetland. and later in the day, we will see this band of showers pushing in towards northern ireland. but in between, a bit more in the way of sunshine, just one or two showers here and there and temperatures between 17 and 2a degrees. so i think there is just the chance of catching a shower at the oval for the ashes test match, and the increasing chance of showers as we head into the weekend. and that is because low

pressure is going to be in charge of our weather. now, we've had low pressure with us for the last couple of weekends, and here we go again. now, around this area of low pressure, it's not going to be raining all the time, but there will be quite a few showers. on saturday, those showers most likely to affect parts of northern ireland and scotland, where some could be heavy and perhaps thundery. some showers for england and wales, perhaps not as many, spells of sunshine in between. it's going to be quite a breezy day and a fresher—feeling day as well. temperatures north to south, 15 to 22 degrees. and then we get into sunday, sunshine and showers again. the showers perhaps focused across parts of northern england, down into east anglia. some more rain later in the day into northern ireland. across central and southern parts of the uk, it is going to be an unusually windy day for the time of year. nothing exceptional, nothing extreme, butjust unusually breezy for a late july day. and quite cool as well — 15 to 21 degrees. so, to sum things up, for the weekend, we will see a mix of sunny spells and showers, some of the showers will be heavy. it will be quite breezy and feeling rather cool for the time of year.
