7:05 pm
give testimony in his trial. we have seen on the campaign trail he has toyed with the idea of possibly pardoning those folks, because his idea that it wasn't a crime, but that remains to be seen. calvin, are the american _ that remains to be seen. calvin, are the american people _ that remains to be seen. calvin, are the american people watching - that remains to be seen. calvin, are| the american people watching these trials carefully? i the american people watching these trials carefully?— trials carefully? i think this particular— trials carefully? i think this particular sentence - trials carefully? i think this particular sentence they i trials carefully? i think this l particular sentence they will, enrique tario being former the head of proud boys. i think most americans believe that what happened on january americans believe that what happened onjanuary six was a crime and was not something to be repeated, but there have been so many people charged and so many trials, so many verdicts, so many sentencing, it all seems to blend together. however, i think more americans will start to pay more attention as donald trump's trial in connection with the event starts very soon. find trial in connection with the event starts very soon.— starts very soon. and you know, based on _ starts very soon. and you know, based on what _ starts very soon. and you know, based on what we've _ starts very soon. and you know, based on what we've seen i starts very soon. and you know, based on what we've seen overl starts very soon. and you know, i based on what we've seen over the last few years, american politics has always been polarised and divisive, but it feels particularly

7:17 pm
england's celebrated chalk streams. here we are, welcome to the river lav as we called it. rob, a retired business man, is notjoking. there would be no river lav without the discharges from the next door sewage plant. we had untreated sewage coming out here. last march, rob found and filmed its bill during dry and filmed a spill during dry weather. illegal under environmental law. much to his annoyance, the company involved, southern water, only received a warning from the environment agency. they treat it as a one—off, absolutely, whereas it had probably been going for three to four months. it is a scandal. so how common are dry spells? to find out, the bbc requested details from 09
7:18 pm
to find out, the bbc requested details from all nine english water companies. three of the largest complied, providing us with a huge amount of data. we then cross—referenced that with rainfall, and found what looks an early a00 sewage spills, lasting thousands of hours, that started during dry weather. many of the water companies, like southern water, say ground water leaking into cracked pipes is behind some of the spills. thames water apologised, while wessex told us there were flaws in their own data. there should never be a dry spill, and any suggestion that there has been one should be investigated fully by the environment agency. the environment agency is a regulator, the only people who do the detailed investigation and understanding. but the environment agency has endured years of cuts. this man has worked at the regulator for two decades, and told us it no longer had enough resources or experienced staff. it is quite simple. we are doing less and less,
7:19 pm
and therefore the potential is there for more to get by us. this ea official told us morale was good and that they were investing in digital monitoring of water quality. it is the water companies' job not to pollute our environment. you are not regulating it very well, are you, because the spills are still taking place? in the last eight years alonewe have brought many prosecutions with fines totalling £150 million. since prosecution, the water companies have paid out millions of pounds in dividends, stopping the sewage spills will cost many billions more. jonah fisher, bbc news. will be speaking live about this later, focusing on water issues. parking now to the crisis engulfing the management of spain's women's

football team. the country's football federation has sacked jorge vilda the coach of its world cup winning women's team. he is considered a close ally of luis rubiales, the suspended president of the federation who has been under fire for kissing playerjenni hermoso on the lips without her consent as the team celebrated winning the tournament. it has named montse tome to replace him. she will be the first ever female coach of the national team. live now to barcelona and sports journalist gemma soler. whojoins us who joins us live now. whojoins us live now. emma, i mean to say that the last couple of weeks has been dramatic, is an understatement.- has been dramatic, is an understatement. , :, , , understatement. yes absolutely, dramatic, and _ understatement. yes absolutely, dramatic, and at _ understatement. yes absolutely, dramatic, and at the _ understatement. yes absolutely, dramatic, and at the same i understatement. yes absolutely, dramatic, and at the same time | understatement. yes absolutely, l dramatic, and at the same time we were expecting this decision, it's coming a little bit too late and it's at least curious, we can say that, at this point timbuktu has been fired and the president of the
7:21 pm
federation has been suspended. he could be back on charge, that is probably the most crazy thing that is happening now in spain. we were expecting this decision, this firing of vilda, because the spanish fa need to take action to put distance, to prove that they want to change the directions of how things were done before the 10 one years. so many reasons in the past to fire him and probably nowjust after to be able to win the first ever world cup for spain, he was part of the standing ovation as you mentioned he was part of the closest allies to 10 one and he had no players to call for september nationally because they all resign until they see changes in the spanish fa, so the

7:25 pm
from the fate of rubiales, so lots of assessment there, stay with us, we've got lots more coming up in the next edition. hello there. it was another hot day today, particularly across central and southern parts of the uk. it looks like temperatures will build further over the next few days. the peak of the heat wednesday and thursday and will also see the humidity increasing as well. and that's going to make it feel a bit more uncomfortable, both day and night. 0ur area of high pressure sitting over scandinavia is drawing up the heat from the near continent. low pressure sits out towards the west. we're drawing this heat up from france, mainly where we're seeing some pretty high temperatures at the moment. now, as we head through the evening and overnight period, it looks like more extensive low cloud, mist and fog will roll into parts of eastern scotland, eastern england, maybe around the irish sea coast as well. elsewhere, it's going to be largely
7:26 pm
clear and dry and quite a muggy night developing particularly towards southern counties. wednesday then we start off with an early mist and fog. low cloud across eastern areas will tend to burn back to the coast. it could linger across some eastern coast of scotland, but it's a dry, sunny day for most of us, and a hot one. england and wales high 20s widely could be up to 32 celsius or so across the south—east. mid 20s there for scotland, northern ireland. as you move through wednesday night, there's a chance we could see some showers and thunderstorms moving through central and western areas, though most places will stay dry again with clear skies. but it's going to be a warm and a muggy night. pretty uncomfortable for sleeping across parts of england and wales. into thursday, then, a bit of a difference. we will see the chance of further thundery showers out towards western areas in response to the high humidity. but i think for most thursday it's going to be another dry and sunny warm with temperatures again reaching the 30 celsius mark one with temperatures again reaching the 30 celsius mark
7:27 pm
or so across southern areas, but again, mid to high 20s, widely across england and wales. friday, a similar story, a bit of a misty start, that mist melting away quickly and then it's going to be dry. plenty of sunshine again. chance of some thundery showers out west, particularly for northern ireland. but again, you can see it's going to be another hot day, high 20s for many, again, 30s or low 30s across some south—eastern areas. into the weekend, low pressure starts to edge in a bit closer to the uk, so destabilises the atmosphere for northern and western areas. so this is where we'd like to see the temperatures start falling, increasing chance of showers or thunderstorms, but it stays hot and sunny for most of england and wales this weekend. it's not until we get into next week, things start to cool down.
