12:42 pm
goal. 85 minutes gone. it is an entry right now. there will be five minutes of ordinary time, plus injury time. all in the need to do is get a single goal to take the game to extra time, but at the moment if they do not score, they will lose the world cup final, and it will be spain's. that thought will be sitting heavy in the hearts of minds of those fans in northumberland. we shall see. the last few minutes of football left stop there has been a pause for an injury. that time will be added on after normal time. we would be back with sport and

football later. the british medical association is calling for hospital managers to be regulated in a similar way to medical staff — following the case of the serial—killer nurse lucy letby. she was found guilty of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder six more. there are concerns that nhs bosses failed to respond adequately when questions about letby�*s conduct were raised. simonjones reports. the smiling nurse who was a killer of babies she was supposed to be caring for. this is the moment lucy letby was arrested. the british medical association says her crimes have shocked the nation, and something similar must never be allowed to happen again. consultants at the countess of chester hospital say senior managers ignored their repeated warnings about letby for many
12:44 pm
months, despite hospital bosses claiming there was a culture of listening. it was secretive, it was judgemental. there was no credibility given to our opinions. and from january 2017, it was intimidating. bullying to a certain extent. the consultants who raised concerns at one point even had to send letby an apology letter, against their wishes, for any stress and upset she may have experienced due to their comments. they also feared being reported to the general medical council when they continued to push for the police to be brought in. the gmc regulates doctors and has the power to strike them off. the british medical association is now calling for similar regulation for non—clinical hospital managers so they can face the same rigorous scrutiny as doctors. if there was the duty of care

12:48 pm
these screens are showing the match with a bit of a delay, many people are checking what is going on through their phones. whenever there is a crucial moment, such as deciding over the penalty, you see lots of people in the audience checking their phones first and then looking at the screen. what an extraordinary time, what an amazing place to be, to be watching that. there is still time for england to get an equaliser. yes. that is their worry. that is why i am saying that some of them would be very happy with this result, because if england scored, it would be a different story, equalising, possibly extra time. that is why for some of then this is just going to slow. they would rather get their match finished. but every time there is a good
12:49 pm
occasion for spain they are chanting, achieving their national team, waving their flags, chanting, achieving their national team, waving theirflags, notjust waiting for the final whistle. a good chance for spain, a good save from the england keeper. that keeps the score at 1—0 spain. spain are still on the attack. this is not what england want at all. spain can feel pretty happy, whatever the result, within a minute have performed in this final. yes. i was speaking to someone here in the crowd, seeing that they were very happy on how that match has been, especially the first half. they had confidence in the team, they were expecting england to have scored by now. pleased with the

12:53 pm
minutes or so injury time left. spain are in possession, spain are on the attack, spain are dominating. spain look at the moment is to be taking that world cup trophy home. you can see those fans firmly parked in their seats, just a few minutes left of this final. the weather has been glorious there all day. england now have the ball, they have possession, they are not far from spain's penalty box. wishful thinking they are, hoping england can convert this chance. but there is still time. how are the fans are feeling in grimsby? pretty emotional. they are still dreaming. some of them still believe that football is coming home.
12:54 pm
there is still a few minutes left. plenty of fingernails will be bitten. plenty of very tense bases across england, spain, and around the world. as for the actual match itself, 75,784 people inside stadium australia to watch that final, a huge number of people have been watching the games they are throughout the last month. there have been many more watching on tv screens around the world. no difference right now. the last few minutes of this match. those england fans will be hoping that the team will be in a very different situation with just a few minutes left. sadly for them, there is about
12:55 pm
four minutes left, four minutes to try and change this game. for minutes to get a goal. england came into this game as favourites, no doubt about that, a great team, a great record, great manager, great team spirit, but they have not been able to score that crucial goal. there is still time but spain now have a corner. spain in injury time have a corner. spain in injury time have had pretty much most of the possession. they have been in control, not wanting that would have wanted at all. spain have hit the post. they have gone close. england did hit the crossbar in the first half, but spain have performed brilliantly, played some great football, scored a great goal. at the moment that one single goal may be enough. let as go live to sydney. just a
12:56 pm
couple of minutes left. just a couple of minutes left. i am keeping an eye on that clock add on that big screen and also on the fans. you can feel the spirit stamp on it now among the england fans, some of them just looking at the screen, hoping the team is able to turn this around in the last few minutes. they are almost in disbelief that it can end for them that way. they have performed really well in that game, they have defended well. they have been pressing as match as the code. mary earps has had two brilliant saves in the last few minutes. huge cheers from the england fans. they have not been able to score that he to put them back in the game. you could feel the mood change meant mary earps perceives that penalty. you could also feel the relief when she received another one from spain. but
12:57 pm
what the needs now, they need an equaliser, and they need another goal, and time is not on their side. fans have told me how proud they are of this team, but spain's fans they are on the edge, the note they are a few minutes away from a world cup glory. in that tournament started very few people expected spain to be in that position. look at where spain were before this tournament started. they were in disarray. some of the best players in the world is not being picked, not going, rifts between management, team, it did not look good at all. now, at less than three minutes away from lifting the world cup trophy. an extraordinary turnaround in the duration of the tournament. in the last few minutes we have seen a corner from in the last few minutes we have seen a cornerfrom spain. they went close. they could have scored, they
12:58 pm
could have sealed it, but they did not. in the last two minutes england still have a chance. there will be england fans are still believing. this is what the cheers that i was hearing, they are hoping that i was hearing, they are hoping that that final press is going to go their way, and go there team's way, we talked about spain's internal turmoil, the fact that this is a team that has been through their first quarterfinals, first semifinals, first finals, they have not progressed so deep in any tournament in any women's world cup as far as they have this time. they are on the verge of winning the women's world cup final. but england have overcome suspension and injuries to players, nail—biting penalty shoot—out. there is another
12:59 pm
press from spain. and they werejust press from spain. and they were just hoping that this would be the time. both fans are proud of the teams. both fans are just looking at that clock. england's fans are hoping there will be enough time for them to be back in the game. spain's supporters wanting this time to go as fast as it could so they could finally celebrate. it has been nail—biting. everybody is on edge at the moment as we go into those last minutes. history has already been made. those two teams are in the finals for the first time. but only one can take away that trophy, lift that trophy, have a new name etched on it. it looks like it is going to be spain, unless england is miraculously i3 13 minutes of injury time, it has been spain on the attack. it has
1:00 pm
been spain on the attack. it has been a very impressive display, especially at the end of this game from spain. and england, as is so often the way, just gave away a follow. you see it so often in big games like this. frustration from the england players. cannot get the ball back, they know they are close to going out. they know they are close to losing, but there is one last attack. the ball has crossed into the box. spain kicked it away and they survive, just. a couple of minutes to go now. spans there in south london, they are still hoping, still cheering, they know technically, they can still do it. there is a spain player who is down and injured at the moment. this is a picture from grimsby in england. a good attack from england, but to be honest, it has been mostly spain and the last 20 minutes or so. it has
