hello. we start in australia, where the spanish women's football team are celebrating, following their 1—0 victory over england in a gripping world cup final. there was jubilation among the spanish players as they lifted the trophy in sydney, crowned champions for the first time. cheering and applause in spain itself, this was the reaction at the fanzone in madrid as the whistle was blown at full—time. let's hear the thoughts of some of the spanish fans watching: translation: this is for women's football, for women's history. - they deserve it. we must keep pushing and giving visibility. translation: it's a double success. we managed to be world champions,

but this is going to motivate a lot of young women to play football and other sports. it's wonderful. translation: i've been playing football since i was little. - i feel like i was them. i wish i was there to celebrate. it's so exciting. the only goal of the game came from the spanish captain olga carmona. she slotted the winner past goalkeeper mary earps in the first half. it means england's wait to win a first women's world cup title goes on. in london there were tears, hugs and disappointment for the lionesses, who were looking to become the first england senior side since the men's team in 1966 to win the world cup. in a statement, king charles said... "while i know how sore today's result must be, let none of you feel defeated, for to have reached the finals at all is an immense tribute to your skill, determination and team spirit in the finest sporting tradition." the tournament has broken attendance and tv records and raised hopes

of a surge in interest for the women's game around the world. well, the bbc�*s shaimaa khalil was watching in sydney. spain's fans are still processing that momentous achievement by their team. i was looking at them as they watched la roja lift that world cup trophy, and you could see the emotions. some had tears in their eyes. a little boy told me, "i just actually cannot believe "that this has happened." this is a team that has been through so much turmoil off the pitch. so much disagreement between coach and players, and yet, they've come through and gotten better in that tournament, and here they are, world champions. new world champions, that is. their name, a new name is now etched on that world cup trophy. this fan zone has been the hub of so many emotions throughout the tournament. huge heartbreaks, achievements, triumphs and celebrations, nail—biting penalty shoot outs that we have lived through,

upsets that nobody expected. often, the england fans were outnumbered here, but today, they actually had a strong presence. you could hear the cheers and the jeers for the lionesses. they leave here disappointed. this is not the night they wanted, and yet, they are very proud of their team. this is a tournament that has changed the game for women's sport, and for women's football. you can see kids now with jerseys of the players. they have now become household names. and the hope is that this will now gain momentum for more investment in women's football and women's sport. live now to the bbc�*s sergi forcada freixas in madrid. it has been an immense day for spain. what has reaction been to this win? ., , spain. what has reaction been to this win? , ., spain. what has reaction been to this win? . , , ., ., .,

we want to see them and thank them for this achievement. essen we want to see them and thank them for this achievement.— for this achievement. even members of sain? for this achievement. even members of spain? royal— for this achievement. even members of spain? royal family _ for this achievement. even members of spain? royal family travelled - for this achievement. even members of spain? royal family travelled to l of spain? royal family travelled to australia and are able to witness that win? , ,, ., ,, that win? yes, the queen of spain and one of— that win? yes, the queen of spain and one of her— that win? yes, the queen of spain and one of her daughters - that win? yes, the queen of spain and one of her daughters were - that win? yes, the queen of spain l and one of her daughters were there and one of her daughters were there and one of the viral moments of this competition, at least for spanish viewers, was when queen leticia lifted the trophy, so we knew they were going to be there but celebrating after the victory, and the king was not there, the king of spain remained here, the same as the prime minister, because we are in the middle of a process of negotiations of creating the new government so they stayed here, but both of them still sent messages to the players, congratulating them for their success. the players, congratulating them for theirsuccess. i5 the players, congratulating them for their success. is it the players, congratulating them for their success.— their success. is it fair to say that this _ their success. is it fair to say that this tournament - their success. is it fair to say that this tournament has - their success. is it fair to say l

that this tournament has really transformed the view of women's football in spain?— football in spain? yes, a lot of --eole football in spain? yes, a lot of peeple tuning _ football in spain? yes, a lot of people tuning in, _ football in spain? yes, a lot of people tuning in, and - football in spain? yes, a lot of people tuning in, and if - football in spain? yes, a lot of people tuning in, and if you i football in spain? yes, a lot of. people tuning in, and if you check the ratings on spanish tv on the days when the matches were on, the ratings are incredible, so definitely people had an interest on those days and there was extensive coverage in the media. but i have to say, in the past two or three years there has been a change. possibly since some of the barcelona players had lots of success in the champions league, when alexia was chosen as the best player twice in the world and people are thinking maybe this is interesting and earlier today, when i was in one of the parties here in madrid, i was speaking to lots of young girls and they said they had been interested in playing football very recently, in the past couple of years, and that when they are in score there are also playing

football, it is not only boys any more and in some cases girls play football here as well.— football here as well. thanks very much for the _ football here as well. thanks very much for the moment. _ live now to semra hunter, a footballjournalist in barcelona, who we spoke to earlier today and was sceptical about spain's chances before the tournament began. of course, they have come out as the winners. i of course, they have come out as the winners. ., , ,. , of course, they have come out as the winners. , ,. , ., winners. i was very sceptical, and talkin: winners. i was very sceptical, and talking about _ winners. i was very sceptical, and talking about the _ winners. i was very sceptical, and talking about the crisis _ winners. i was very sceptical, and talking about the crisis that - winners. i was very sceptical, and talking about the crisis that sergi| talking about the crisis that sergi was talking about between the players and the federation and the coaching staff, it all has to do with the fallout that started from them being eliminated from the euro is against england, actually, and they said we need to improve things, we need to improve the quality of the set—up within the organisation as well so that we can achieve things. the attitude and the hunger has to be there to win things and they felt there was complacency, and so they ended up sending an e—mail,

15 of them, to the federation, publicly released parts of it, and they treated the players as though they treated the players as though they were children. it was very condescending, the toone that they used in terms of talking about them and saying theyjust wanted to get rid of the coach but that was not actually the case, they were asking for improvements in quality in terms of the overall project itself. better methods in training, better treatment when it came to injuries, they wanted better facilities overall. amongst other things. and so they have been negotiating for the past nine months and some players came back and featured in the world cup and went on to win this but 12 of them were left behind. so there are still very much this issue that is present and will have to be dealt with going forward, but i think a lot of us really did not think, because of what was happening and that it was so brutally open and public, a lot of people did not think they were going

to do very well. i have to say i am pleasantly surprised that they turned out to be wrong! and here we are, spain on top of the world once again. are, spain on top of the world once aaain. �* ,, , again. and in the end, spain 'ust -la ed a again. and in the end, spain 'ust played a betteri again. and in the end, spain 'ust played a better game i again. and in the end, spain 'ust played a better game than k again. and in the end, spain just i played a better game than england. they did, it is fair to say that on the day, spain with a better team between the sides, especially in the first—half, there were dominant and controlled the game and had possession, which is what would expect them to do, but they also pressed really well, they were able to put england to a stop whenever they tried to press and ironically, they tried to press and ironically, the goal came in the most sort of unexpected fashion, from a counterattack, which is what you thought england would have done, but they came with a game plan and had other weapons they could utilise and there were a few moments in the second half whenever there are changes made to the lionesses with lauren james changes made to the lionesses with laurenjames coming on, and there were a period where we thought

england might be able to get a foothold and when they were at their best, it was when spain got the penalty which unfortunately was missed because mary earps saved, she had a phenomenal game. on balance across the whole 90 minutes, plus extra time, we can say at least a day spain was the better team but you have to give so much credit to england, they had a wonderful world cup and i think the impact it has had on football back home as well really is something to be very proud of. , ., ., ,., really is something to be very proud of. , ., ., of. tell us more about the impact. how will this _ of. tell us more about the impact. how will this revolutionise - of. tell us more about the impact. how will this revolutionise the - of. tell us more about the impact. how will this revolutionise the way that people see women's football in spain? that people see women's football in sain? , ., , ., that people see women's football in sain? , ., ., , spain? this has to be a watershed moment, spain? this has to be a watershed moment. this _ spain? this has to be a watershed moment, this has _ spain? this has to be a watershed moment, this has to _ spain? this has to be a watershed moment, this has to be _ spain? this has to be a watershed moment, this has to be a - spain? this has to be a watershed moment, this has to be a turning | moment, this has to be a turning point, the time when we say, all right, we have to take this seriously. because of our societal issues where people still have not really accepted women playing football, playing professional football. so this has to be a moment where we say, ok, we're going to take this more seriously and invest

in the federation and invest in the clubs and have sponsors investing in football and broadcasters investing, the fans, everyone taking part in doing this in order to help the game grow. it has slowly started in the last five years or so, especially in barcelona, with the women's team being so successful. i think it is important to have the mentality shift within society as well and really accept that women can play football just as well as the really accept that women can play footballjust as well as the men and they can achieve things just as much as the men as well. and that we should see them as people who can be references within society and can be someone to look up to for these young boys and girls as they take up football going forwards. thank young boys and girls as they take up football going forwards.— football going forwards. thank you very much- — football going forwards. thank you very much- i'm _ football going forwards. thank you very much. i'm sure _ football going forwards. thank you very much. i'm sure you _ football going forwards. thank you very much. i'm sure you will- football going forwards. thank you very much. i'm sure you will be - very much. i'm sure you will be celebrating tonight! our reporter emily brown has spent the day at astley and tyldesley fc, where england player ella toone began her football career. well, i think it's been

a disappointing day here in manchester. as you mentioned, this is ella toone, england forward's former football club. this is where she started her journey, and i think because of that, a lot of young people here feel a personal connection to the lionesses. and they've had that real sense of heartbreak today. this is not the result they wanted. we were inside the clubhouse where they were screening the final and there were so many emotions going through the young fans, but when it ended in that defeat, people quickly left. they have come outside now and they are playing football, a lot of the young players. so that really shows the impact that the world cup has had on young people. i want to bring in a couple of big ella toone fans, and two players here. girls, how are you feeling after today? i think it is definitely a disappointment. there was a lot of emotion going on in the room throughout that game. i think we did the best we could. and i'm really proud of the lionesses and i am really proud of the team. to make to the world

cup final is amazing, so i think that we need to take that into account and be proud of how far they have made it, whether they win or lose. and how are you feeling? it is really disappointing. it's really heartbreaking. j because we have come so far. and to lose. but we have come on a lot and we played great. - we tried our best, so... and let's talk about ella toone. what do you think her performance has being like over the course of the world cup? i think at the start of the world cup, i don't think she was at her best. i think she had a few messy games to start. then in the china and the australia games, she really started to show herself, especially with that great goal in the last game. i think she has had a good game today. there were some things she could have done better, but

every person has improvements they can make. i think we need to take away what she did good from today, so do the team, and we need to work on our weaknesses. but we have done really well, so i'm really happy. and have there been any standout moments for you from the world cup? not really... when lauren james scored. she had some cracking goals. and what do you think the impact will be after the world cup? what do you think the lionesses�* impact has had on the club here? i think it has really impacted a lot of the girls in the - i’ooiti. and a lot of the girls in the club. i think it has shown how far women's football has come, and i— think it has made it a lot more realistic to have the dream ofl becoming a female footballer. brilliant. well, there you go. disappointment today, but overall

a sense of pride here for the lionesses in all that they've achieved in the world cup. let's look at some of the other news... ecuador is choosing a new president after a campaign marred by the assassination of one of the candidates. the authorities have deployed more than 100,000 police and soldiers to protect the vote. well, there is certainly a lot of concern over this vote. lots of ecuadorians i spoke to feeling nervous about going to cast their vote. but when we came here, there was an awful lot of security, police, military, checking our bags before we were allowed through. here in quito, it is not something people really thought of, in terms of security. of course, we saw with fernando villavicencio, the shooting of a candidate really shocked ecuadorians. even in a country that is used to, you know, growing cartel violence and growing organised crime, certainly, people coming

to vote were very nervous. but as you can see, there is an awful lot of people who are turning out to vote. this is the first round, and they are not expected... a candidate is not expected to win outright, and there will be a second round expected in october. and tell us a bit about the parties at play in this election. so, the front runner is luisa gonzalez, and she is a former protege of rafael correa, who has a mixed legacy. he lifted millions out of poverty, and was in power when there was a commodities boom, but there have been corruption scandals surrounding him, and he is now based in belgium. she is a candidate that people will both love and hate, if you like. but of course, this campaign has been upturned by the death of fernando villavicencio. people here have really started to think "what do i really want?" security and peace were concerns. this is a country that used to be very peaceful, but has seen, in recent years, a huge surge in violence.

but no question, all of the candidates have been talking about peace and security. there is also an indigenous environmentalist, there two businessmen. everybody here is talking about peace, security and jobs as well, because at the end of the day, everyone here is saying that people need jobs, people need health, education. without that, you're effectively giving people over to the cartels, because that is where people can make money, and that is something that really, every single candidate agrees on. the netherlands has committed to supplying its us—made f—16 fighterjets to ukraine — just days after the united states gave the green light. ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky visited the dutch air force base of eindhoven today — to inspect the fleet of f—igs. and in the past hour, he's arrived at an air force base in denmark, where he and ukraine's first lady were warmly greeted by the danish prime minister mette frederiksen. her office says the visit will see them discuss the start of ukrainian pilot training on f—igs. the us has agreed to allow the transfer of the fighter aircraft to kyiv from the netherlands and denmark — a long—standing

request from president zelensky. details of the delivery are yet to be unveiled — but the f—16s would boost ukraine's air power in its counteroffensive. well, president zelensky has hailed what he called the "historic�* decision to hand over the f—igs. translation: so, today, we were also talking about the widening _ of our defence and cooperation. so, the third point is definitely for us, the historical one, a powerful and motivational one, that is one more step to strengthen the air shield of ukraine f—16 aircrafts that we will use to keep russian terrorists away from ukrainian cities and villages. mark and i have agreed on the number of f—16s — and we can speak about that — that will be provided

to ukraine after our pilots and engineers have been trained. russia's luna—25 space craft has crashed into the moon after spinning into uncontrolled orbit. that's according to russia's space agency roscosmos. earlier it reported an "abnormal situation" as the spacecraft prepared for a pre—landing orbit. luna—25 was scheduled to land on the south pole of the moon on monday. the bbc�*s europe regional editor, paul moss, explained what went wrong. i think there are really two ways you can look at that question. first of all is the question of what went wrong in the last 2a hours. we know that the luna—25 was close to the end of its mission on reaching the moon. only yesterday, roscosmos, the russian space agency, was proudly sharing photos of the lunar surface taken by the spacecraft. as it prepared to move into what is called a pre—landing orbit, something seems to have gone wrong, perhaps with communications, and the spacecraft crashed into the moon, and there were rather

pithy words of roscosmos, saying that following a collision with the moon, luna—25 has ceased to exist. i think it is also going to be worth asking what went wrong in the longer term, because there has now been a commission of inquiry already launched by roscosmos. they will be looking at various possibilities that have been suggested. first of all, this mission was launched while russia was under sanctions, and it couldn't get hold of some of the western technology it usually uses. there were plenty of critics who said for that reason, the mission would always be difficult. but there is also an allegation that roscosmos has been underfunded recently, and specifically, the suggestion that russia is spending so much on its military because of the invasion of ukraine, that it hasn't diverted enough funds to roscosmos. if you don't mind me putting it crudely, the suggestion is they are so busy firing rockets at ukrainian civilians, they didn't divert enough attention to firing rockets at the moon. there has also been a suggestion, even in the russian state media, that roscosmos is riddled

with corruption, and that money that was supposed to be spent on that mission has, infact, ended up in private hands. as i say, roscosmos has launched a commission of inquiry, and whether they actually come up with the truth, truth that may be unpalatable to many within roscosmos, we will have to see. and of course, russia is not the only nation which is trying to soft land on the moon. india is, around about now, as well. yes, that is the extraordinary, what i gather really is a coincidence, that india is trying the same feat. it due to land its chandrayaan—3 spacecraft also on the south pole of the moon, probably on wednesday. i should say that india has actually tried this before, several years ago, and on that occasion, their craft crashed into the moon. an indication that this is no easy task. but if india were to succeed on wednesday, i think that heaps the humiliation on russia. russia, after all, has been in the space race

as the soviet union since the 19505. india — very much a newcomer to the space race. if they can succeed where russia failed, it really will emphasise quite what a disaster it has been both for scientists in russia, but also for russia's prestige, that the luna—25 has now crashed into the surface. wildfires in canada are threatening tens of thousands of people in british columbia, which is now under a state of emergency. 30,000 people have been told to leave their homes, with another 36,000 warned they may need to leave at any moment. our correspondent peter bowes has this report. oh, my god. the intensity of the flames is terrifying. moving rapidly over a vast area — there are more than a thousand wildfires burning throughout canada. about a third of them are in british columbia, where 30,000 people have been told to leave their homes. another 36,000 have been warned they may have to evacuate at any moment. kelowna — a popular tourist destination about 180

miles east of vancouver — is on the edge of a huge inferno. the fire has already destroyed several homes in the smaller community of west kelowna, with embers from that blaze travelling in the wind over a lake to ignite more structures. officials have urged the public to cancel all nonessential travel to the region. at this time, we are strongly recommending that people with plans to travel to fire—affected areas throughout the central interior and south east in the coming days, to cancel those plans. we need tourists and travellers to take this situation as seriously as the residents of these areas do. to the north, yellowknife — the capital of canada's northwest territories — is now a ghost town. over two days, almost the entire population of 20,000 people were evacuated from their homes...

..leaving the city by road and air to escape a fire encroaching on their community. officials said it had been an extraordinary achievement to get everyone out. the fire, caused by lightning a month ago, is still threatening the city — although cooler conditions have slowed its progress. but gusty winds are forecast, and officials fear they could further propel the fire towards the city boundaries. siren wails. this is an epic struggle for firefighters. reinforcements have been brought in from as far away as south africa, with local resources stretched to the limit. in a nation used to forest fires, this countrywide crisis has reached a level never seen before. peter bowes, bbc news. that's it for this half an hour, you

can find me on twitter. more of the rest of the news on the bbc news website. hello there. we had some lovely spells of sunshine through much of england and wales on sunday, a little more cloud at times through scotland and northern ireland with a few showers. and as we head through the course of sunday evening and sunday night, some clear skies with light winds through england. we'll see some low cloud, mist and fog developing through southern counties. more of a wind around parts of west wales, in towards the west of scotland, northern ireland. and, actually, that means temperatures here holding in the mid—teens. cooler elsewhere with light winds and clear skies. for the week ahead, we've got low pressure to the north—west, high pressure to the south—east, and that set up sticking with us for a few days. what it means is that, actually, through parts of scotland and northern ireland, cloudier skies with some showers or rain at times. the driest, warmest weather likely through central and south—east england,

if you're south of that line, still largely dry and fine, perhaps a few showers in towards east anglia. north of here, sunny spells and a number of showers, heaviest across parts of the west and north—west of scotland. temperatures again in the sunshine reaching the mid—20s, cooler and fresher elsewhere. more like mid to high teens, probably, at best. and for the end of the week, well, low pressure becoming the dominant feature across the uk, so staying unsettled across the north, drier in the south. but, actually, that warmer weather we've had being pushed back to the near continent. that's the forecast for now.
