beth mead was named player of the tournament, after winning the golden boot award given to the tournament�*s top scorer. philip nedley, herfirst coach, gave his reaction to her performance oh, well, beth had lots of potential even at five or six years old. she used to... we were a bit hurt — we were a bit scared that she was going to get hurt, but she was, like, giving the boys just as much as she was getting, and she was an awesome player. lots of talent, lots of determination, and a great attitude, but such a lovely kid, such a lovely kid. and herfamily still live here in hinderwell. yeah, herfamily live on the high street, and all the family, her auntie and uncle is, they�*ve done so much for her, and, you know, this is for her, as well. what about the boost for the community? because it�*s just amazing to have such a top player from the area. well, we are only a tiny village amongst lots of tiny villages, and to have somebody actually winning the european championships is absolutely phenomenal. we are so proud of her. ballot papers are being delivered to conservative party members today, as they prepare to cast their vote on who they want to be the next party leader and prime minister. the final two candidates — rishi sunak and liz truss — have clashed over their differing policies on tax and tackling the cost of living. former chancellor mr sunak has unveiled a new pitch to party members calling for a four per cent reduction in income tax by the end of the next parliament whereas foreign secretary liz truss wants to cut tax immediately. we will be speaking to more people over the coming days to get reaction to that. we were also speaking to iain duncan smith, former party leader who is speaking to supporting this trust. the sucess of the lionesses last night proved that women�*s international football can attract huge audiences. but can that be repeated at club level? we can speak now to helen ward, captain of watford fc. she is also the record goal—scorer for wales. great for you tojoin great for you to join us. what did you think of last night�*s game, from one record goal—scorer to another? it was a great final, wasn�*t it? i think the tournament to serve those two teams to be in it, i think there were the best teams throughout, and it was as close as i expected it to be, at one stage it looked like germany might go on to nick the win, but they gathered themselves and went on to get that electric goal in extra time, and it was a fantastic spectacle for everybody, and the tournament as a whole has been wonderful to watch. ii tournament as a whole has been wonderful to watch.— tournament as a whole has been wonderful to watch. if you have been followini wonderful to watch. if you have been following women's _ wonderful to watch. if you have been following women's football _ wonderful to watch. if you have been following women's football you i wonderful to watch. if you have been| following women's football you would following women�*s football you would know that england always stood a good chance of lifting the trophy, like they did last night. but that is against the odds, isn�*t it? a lot of them have come through from grassroots football, having to scrape by, get the training, money, the support they need stop on those days open hours of today? i the support they need stop on those days open hours of today?— the support they need stop on those days open hours of today?

i hope so. they look to get to the top end of i they look to get to the top end of the game, theirjob now is to spread that further down. grassroots plays a huge role in all football, particularly women�*s football, so we need to keep investing in that, let it grow up the pyramid, and we will see results like last night. credits of the fa, they have invested a lot into that england team through the structures of the league, and it�*s all been planned that way, over the england team to go get the trophy. they had chances in the past where they�*ve been disappointing got over they�*ve been disappointing got over the line, but last night, they know how to win and they showed that last night, and it�*s been a combination of the lot of years of hard graft. for an eight—year—old watching that game last night, thinking, i want that, i want to be on that pitch, in my 205, what are the applicants to get from that thought to the actual moment they are playing for england? what do they have to do? what is the struggle? i what do they have to do? what is the stru~ ile? .. what do they have to do? what is the stru~le? .. v what do they have to do? what is the stru~le? ,, �*, struggle?

i think it's finding local teams, they are out there, i struggle? i think it's finding local teams, they are out there, but i struggle? i think it's finding local. teams, they are out there, but they are not necessarily pushed as much as boys are men�*s teams, so they are harder to find, even though they are there, so i think it�*s up to local clubs, big clubs, local fas, schools need to become part of normal p for girls, it can�*t be an anomaly that the school offers is same out of football for boys as they do for girls, and i think that is important moving forward, has to start at that part of the game, it�*s the eight—year—olds are nine—year—olds who want to get into football, finding those opportunities, because there is a drop—off in all sports, there is a drop—off in all sports, the opportunities are not there, i think it�*s really important that everybody now comes together to promote the game, promote the clubs, promote the game, promote the clubs, promote grassroots, elite football, promoter or, get out there because if people can�*t see that they can�*t be it, but now they�*ve all seen over the last few weeks, now they can see up the last few weeks, now they can see up for them to go out there. millions of indians still do not have tap water. women have to make back—breaking journeys to get water for the whole family. this daily hardship has meant that in some villages men are unable to find women willing to marry them. the bbc�*s divya arya travelled to uttar pradesh in central india to hear their stories. what do you call men who have tried to get married, but failed repeatedly? rejects, i�*m told. like bal govind. translation: i was 22 when the first marriage proposal came. i in total, five families came to meet my parents, but when they got to know of the water crisis here, they left. he is not alone. it�*s a growing list of single men. fetching water is considered women�*s work here, and men are unwilling to share the burden. translation: i have other work and she has different work. i she has to cook food, clean the house. i have to attend to the animals, farm and travel to attend social gatherings. these central indian plains used to be green, but after repeated droughts, the region has dried up. some women have got married here, but they say they wouldn�*t have if they had known about the water crisis. translation: there was a hand pump outside my home - in my maternal village, but now i have to drink this dirt. if i knew how bad things were, i wouldn�*t have agreed to the marriage. now the indian government plans to bring waterfrom nearby rivers to these villages. but similar schemes haven�*t worked in the past. how will this time be any different? the engineer struggles to explain. translation: we have assessed that if we take a certain amount of water, it will not lead to scarcity. if there wasn�*t enough water in the yamuna river, the scheme wouldn�*t have been sanctioned. meanwhile, this is the kind of water some villages are left with. buffalos bathe here, and some women too. there aren�*t many choices. thousands of people have been evacuated in northern california, as the state battles a second major wildfire this season. the mckinney fire started in the north, near the border with 0regon last friday and has spread rapidly to become the largest this year. it�*s already scorched tens of thousands of acres. 2000 residents have been forced to leave their homes, and dozens of trekkers on the pacific crest hiking trail have been evacuated to safety. no injuries have been reported so far. ballot papers are being delivered to conservative party members today, as they prepare to cast their vote on who they want to be the next party leader and prime minister. the final two candidates — rishi sunak and liz truss — have clashed over their differing policies on tax and tackling the cost of living. former chancellor mr sunak has unveiled a new pitch to party members calling for a 4% reduction in income tax by the end of the next parliament whereas foreign secretary liz truss wants to cut tax immediately. we can cross to westminster and our political correspondent ione wells. very clear differences between the two leaders, but one seems to be getting more support than the other. i think both camps have stressed that there are still people who are undecided, there are still members making up their minds about this as well, but certainly in the last couple of days liz truss has positioned herself as the frontrunner, she�*s been seen that way by colleagues in the conservative party with a number of quite high—profile in recent days ranging from ben wallace to tom tugendhat, so certainly she has real momentum in the last couple days, but both camps keen to stress that there are still lots of members making up their minds, both have been blitzing members around the country trying shore up support. certainly this next week is being seen as very crucial with lots of tory members expected to vote quite early as well. in terms of different policies as a result have been dished out over the last couple of days, they been competing for headlines, one of the key dividing lines has been over tax policy. liz truss has promised instant tax cuts, reversing the rise to national insurance, as well as the planned rise to corporation tax, as well. she is also said she would temporarily suspend green levies on energy bills. rishi sunak has, throughout this campaign, emphasised that such tax cuts would add to inflationary pressures at the moment, therefore risk interest rates and people�*s mortgages, as well, so he has been cautious, however, in the last couple of days been pressure for him to announce something to appeal to appeal to tory party members, given that he has been lagging a bit in those membership poles, and he has, as you say, but announced a new policy which is to cut the basic rate of income tax from 20% to 16% by the end of the next parliament. this trust�*s camp has accused him of you turning on this, some of her supporters arguing we need tax cuts now, but rishi sunak was not have said that it would be responsible. i want to cut tax by 20%, that's one of the _ want to cut tax by 20%, that's one of the most — want to cut tax by 20%, that's one of the most far—reaching cuts we have _ of the most far—reaching cuts we have seen. — of the most far—reaching cuts we have seen, will do it responsibly over— have seen, will do it responsibly over time, — have seen, will do it responsibly overtime, continuing have seen, will do it responsibly over time, continuing to reduce a borrowing — over time, continuing to reduce a borrowing and getting our businesses to invest _ borrowing and getting our businesses to invest more through the tax reforms — to invest more through the tax reforms i — to invest more through the tax reforms i will put in place. another interestini reforms i will put in place. another interesting development _ reforms i will put in place. another interesting development today i reforms i will put in place. another interesting development today is i interesting development today is seeing lisa nandyjoining seeing lisa nandy joining communication seeing lisa nandyjoining communication workers on strike on the picket linejust days communication workers on strike on the picket line just days after somebody, sam tarry, was fired for making comments on the picket line. a change of heart in labour?

i think labour have been keen _ a change of heart in labour? i think labour have been keen to - a change of heart in labour? i think labour have been keen to stress i a change of heart in labour? i think| labour have been keen to stress the difference in the two cases, sam tarry was sacked from his front bench role forjoining a picket line, but the time the labour leader keir starmer said it was because he did an interview from the picket line and, in keir starmer�*s works, made up labour policy on the hoof, tjy made up labour policy on the hoof, by calling on public sector pay to rise in line with inflation, which is not what the official labour party liners. the difference in this case seems to be that lisa nandy, on the other hand, labour say, was simply kind ofjoining constituents to show his solidarity and support for higher wages at the time when her constituents have been struggling with the cost of living. they stress that the circumstances are different, but i have been questions raised about what this means more generally for labour�*s policy, and whether front bench labour politicians and labour mps will still be frowned upon if they join striking workers on the front line. ., .. join striking workers on the front line. ., ~' ,, join striking workers on the front line. ., «i i. ., ., join striking workers on the front line. ., «i ., ., , ., the secret behind how our galaxy became home to 400 billion stars is being explored, in a new research project. an instrument has been installed on top of a mountain on the island of la palma, in the atlantic ocean, which will analyse the stars, to reconstruct how the milky way was formed. 0ur science correspondent, pallab ghosh has more. they shine in the night sky, but how did they get there? the answer is contained in the light they actually give off. gavin dalton has spent more than a decade developing an instrument to study the light from 5 million stars to reveal the secrets of how our galaxy was created. and now, it is ready to go. it is a fantastic achievement from a lot of people to make this happen and it is great to see it working. so the next step is the new adventure, it�*s brilliant. we�*ll learn about this really detailed structure. we�*ll learn about the dynamics and how the stars are moving around. and we�*ll learn about the evolutionary histories. 0ur galaxy was once a small collection of stars. it grew from the merger of other galaxies over billions of years, each collision leading to the creation of brand—new stars until it became the dense spiral swirl it is today. the new instrument can piece together exactly how this happened. by using optical fibres it is able to capture the light from 1,000 stars every hour, revealing the age and direction of each one. it tells scientists where they came from and where they will go next. whenever there is a new instrument or something big going on, there is all the things for what the instrument was designed. but then there is an enormous amount of things that we are going to discover that we still don�*t know because the universe is full of these surprises. so how does this instrument find out what stars are made of? scientists take starlight and pass it through a prism, splitting it into a rainbow spectrum. every element like hydrogen absorbs light in its own unique way, appearing as lines on the spectrum. different chemicals have their own characteristic bar code, allowing astronomers to work out what the star is made of. this telescope is just one of a dozen on the mountaintop, each one probing the skies in different ways. they can see much more of the cosmos than ever before. and the man in charge tells me that there is growing excitement about what lies ahead. we have been hearing for decades that we are in a golden era of astronomy. but what the future awaits is a lot more important. it�*s a combination of telescopes of different kinds, of different nationalities, and also tremendous computing power that allows us to process all of this information and give it to the astronomers, to the creative minds. the new telescopes are about to lift a veil on the cosmos. uncovering the deep secrets of our milky way by revealing the path of millions of stars in the night sky, it will give astronomers the big picture of how our galaxy came to be. joining me now is dr becky smethurst, an astrophysicist at the university of oxford. what a job you have, fantastic. is this going to make yourjob even easier? what does this do, how much of the this open up for people like you? i of the this open up for people like ou? ., �* ., ., of the this open up for people like ou? .,�* ,, ., ., you? i don't know about easier. it will iive you?

i don't know about easier. it will give us a lot more data i you? i don't know about easier. it will give us a lot more data to i you? i don't know about easier. it. will give us a lot more data to work with, and i guess that�*s the fun thing that we want, definitely. what�*s so special about this instrument that has been put on the back of this telescope, it records the lights essentially so that you can do the science, as there is so taxable, it has the fibres that are controlled by this one robot, and there�*s 1000 of these fibres, so even just writing the computer code that gets the positions of those fibres in the right place and not to collider is a feat in itself. you can use them, these fibres, to say, let�*s observe thousand stars at once, which is incredible, because with a normal telescope you can do one observation at one time and that�*s it, but these you can look at a thousand stars at once, or clump them together and say, let�*s observe a galaxy, with the more cramped together, something like that. that is what is so incredible about this. so, let me get this straight. basically it�*s like a mapping device, and it can analyse each star, the to travelling, the make—up, how it got there, and we are talking about a thousand stars in our, no wonder you are excited and apprehensive at the same time. there is a lot of data, isn�*t it? it there is a lot of data, isn't it? it is a lot, yeah, you get so much data, you can either think of it as like taking an image every single wavelength, or every single point getting one of these spectra raise where you split the light, no so much information contained in that it is incredible, you can see what stars are made of and say, ok, if these stars look like they�*re made of the same sort of things then you can see that they all form together in the same place, but maybe it wasn�*t in the milky way, maybe it wasn�*t in the milky way, maybe it was in another galaxy that then merged with the milky way, and so you start to piece together the history of the milky way over the past 13 odd billion years, which is so incredible to do, because you can such to think, how did it come together, how did the black hole at the very middle grow, so many questions it�*s going to be able to answerfor questions it�*s going to be able to answer for us, questions it�*s going to be able to answerfor us, but at questions it�*s going to be able to answer for us, but at the same time probably raise a whole range of new ones. �* probably raise a whole range of new ones. . ., . ., ., , . ones. and how much of a difference is that data — ones. and how much of a difference is that data going _ ones. and how much of a difference is that data going to _ ones. and how much of a difference is that data going to make - ones. and how much of a difference is that data going to make to i ones. and how much of a difference is that data going to make to us? i is that data going to make to us? how significant is it to find out how we were formed, how the stars were formed? what does that do for us here on out? would we get out of it? i know it�*s fascinating, but what we get out of it? well, they may have a really flashy telescope, but they had terrible wi—fi. we have lost doctor becky, there, buckley very excited about all that data, huge amounts of data which will be fascinating to see what that leads to. one of the latest developments regarding russia and ukraine in the last hour has been that russia has added 39 names to its list of british officials, politicians and journalists banned from entering the country. parts of england have had their driestjuly since records began according to provisional data from the met office. south—eastern central and 0ffice. south—eastern central and saw an average of only five millimetres of rain last month. england as a whole saw an the lowest figure of that month since 1935. is there any sign of rain? good afternoon. lots of dry, sunny weather out there again today in central and eastern areas, and now the statistics are in, it�*s been confirmed that parts ofjersey have had their driest july on record. the average is about 45 millimetres normally injuly. now, there is some rain on the way, some welcome rain, but it doesn�*t look as if it will affect the southern half of england, in particular. instead, we will see some heavier rain moving in across northern ireland into the west of scotland, western fringes of england and wales, later in the day. the best of the drier, sunnier weather will remain across central and eastern areas where it�*s warm, and it feels quite muggy, and actually we will start to increase the humidity more generally under the influence of these weather fronts. that�*s really the theme for the next two or three days. so, the heaviest rain pushing in through this evening and overnight, starting to sink a little bit further southwards. lots of local mist and hill fog around, and so drizzly, but it�*s unlikely we�*ll see much rain across south—eastern areas. but, for all parts, after the grass frost of last night in the glens of scotland, a far closer, warmer night for all, and a muggy day tomorrow, despite the passage of our weather front towards the south and the arrival of brighter skies and showers to the north, it remains warm and really quite muggy with those high dew points. it�*s really quite breezy, as well, through tonight and tomorrow. a little breezier than you�*d normally expect at this time of year, but it�*s not going to stop the temperatures from getting to 30, potentially, ahead of that weather front in south—eastern areas tomorrow, and a warmer day further north. so, athletics tomorrow and para—athletics, as well, it should be dry across the midlands area, as you can see, but by the evening and overnight the weather front might start to just bring a little bit of drizzly rain, low pressure still driving the weather, so still breezy and still showery across northern ireland, north—western scotland, in particular, but some good spells of sunshine elsewhere. this weather front might bring a few spots of drizzle to the south, but effectively it�*s a band of cloud, still very warm indeed and humid across many areas, starting to cool a little towards the north come wednesday, certainly by thursday we push that weatherfront away, we bring in a ridge of high pressure, change of wind direction, so that north—westerly will freshen the air a little bit, so by thursday and friday it will start to feel a bit more comfortable, notably for sleeping, for most. this is bbc news — i�*m chris rogers — the headlines... celebrations continue after england beat germany 2—1 to become champions of europe for the first time, in the most watched women�*s football game in uk television history. we said that we wanted to make our legacy about winning, and that is what we did. cheering. the moment football came home — it�*s the english game�*s first major international trophy since the men�*s side lifted the 1966 world cup. a man has appeared at lincoln crown court this afternoon, charged with murdering nine—year—old lilia valutyte, who was stabbed to death in boston, lincolnshire. the court of appeal is holding a last—minute hearing in the case of archie battersbee, hours before doctors are due to withdraw life support. the first ship carrying grain leaves the ukrainian port of 0desa under an agreement brokered by turkey. and scientists supercharge one of earth�*s most powerful telescopes with new technology that will reveal how our galaxy formed, in unprecedented detail. england�*s lionesses have been celebrating with thousands of fans at a massive party in trafalgar square, after their historic 2—1victory against germany last night. the title is england�*s first for more than 50 years, and the fa say the success will "turbo—charge" the women�*s game in this country. more than 17 million people watched the final of the euros on bbc one last night, making it the most watched programme of the year so far. in the past hour, the met police have said two people were arrested in wembley as part of the policing operation at the euro final. our sports correspondent natalie pirks reports. # sweet caroline...# these lionesses may be hoarse but they can still rule. the party has been going on for quite some time. last night in the dressing room... ..and even when gate—crashing their manager�*s press conference. # it�*s coming home...# but who can blame them after such a historic moment? sort of heavy—headed because the party didn�*t finish until the early hours of the morning so we have all had about two hours sleep but they are all very happy and elated, and sarina looks a bit worse for wear but they are very happy and i don�*t think they realise what they have done yet and i think it will take some time for them to realise the legacy they have created here. this will live long in the memory. not just for the players or the record european final crowd in the stadium, but also the record tv audience of more than 17 million who were drinking it all in. it had been a tense affair. england had started well but germany almost struck the first blow. in the second half it was time for a tried and tested formula, super subs ella toone and alessia russo on for their formidable double act. and when keira walsh found ella toone in acres with an inch—perfect pass, she took her shot. but this was germany and they wouldn�*t lie down. extra time loomed and nails were bitten — we had been here before with england. but this time it was different. commentator: it's in! the disbelief turned to joy as chloe kelly tore off her top recreating famous celebrations of yesteryear with pure unbridled joy. the final whistle seemed to take an age, but when it came, wembley erupted. it�*s all over! 56 years of hurt over, just like that. it�*s unbelievable, i�*m so proud of this group and i�*m proud to share the pitch with such an amazing bunch of girls, throughout the tournament we have all stuck together and it�*s about the wider team, the staff and players coming together to enjoy this moment. unbelievable. they stayed behind for an age to soak it all in. the fans too — no—one wanted this to end. today the party continued. ithink we have partied more than we have actually played football in the last 24 hours. cheering. but obviously incredible, to be able to share it with everybody who came to the game and around the country, we are very grateful for everyone's support. this may be the end of their tournament, but it�*s just the beginning of their journey. the last time england won a major trophy, the 1966 world cup, women were banned from playing competitive football in any form. sarina wiegman — the lionesses�* coach — said last night, "ww have changed society," and that her players had helped to alter perceptions of women beyond the pitch. 0ur sports correspondent jane dougall looks at what last night�*s win means for the future of the women�*s game. commentator: she sends it forward and jill scott is there, and _ ella toone. .. it�*s all over! 17.4 million people watched the lionesses�* historic win last night at wembley, but it has been an agonising journey to get here. the last time england were in a european final was 2009 when they lost to germany, and only 1.4 million people watched. jill scott was in that squad 13 years ago and says the progression has been incredible. today was just kind of like a fresh game. we know how well this team has been performing, you look at some of the performances throughout the tournament, millie bright, keira walsh, every single game so consistent, and it�*s an absolute pleasure to be around them and such an honour to be part of the squad. since then the women�*s game has become professional in england, providing a pathway for the likes of leah williamson. this is herfirst tournament as captain of the lionesses, and it could not have gone better. i don't really know what to say to that. when the winning goal went in, that is chloe�*s first international goal, as well, for england. about time, isn't it?! i didn't know she had scored, i saw her toe and turned round and gave alex a cuddle and i can't believe it. tell me about the crowd, did they help you through it? yeah, 100%, the roar as we went forward and we had the wind taken out of our sails, they built us up in the second half. that belief was ingrained in leah williamson. when she was young, her parents bought a stone at wembley, for her and her brother, and it reads, "leah and jacob, born to play football." before she had even pulled on an england strip, her fate was written into the structure of wembley. however, there is still an imbalance in opportunities for girls when it comes to access to football at schools. we need to make sure that there is commercial opportunities and sponsorship as well. so it all snowballs together, so when we get higher viewership that means there is more commercial opportunities for women in sport which means we can have that greater visibility, and also we should never underestimate the power of events like this inspiring future generations of the future sportswomen. it is an open goal to harness this success. young girls are watching. now is the time to capitalise. jane dougall, bbc news, wembley. joining me now is sophie page, secretery and a player intestate pay for women�*s football, but also a fantastic day for every five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, 11—year—old girl, because there is now hopefully are brighter and better and slightly easier future for them if they want to play football, whether grassroots or professional. in your experience, what needs to be done for this legacy really happen?- legacy really happen? yeah, listenini legacy really happen? yeah, listening to _ legacy really happen? yeah, listening to that _ legacy really happen? yeah, listening to that coverage i legacy really happen? yeah, i listening to that coverage again, i was getting goose bumps. i didn't even sleep that well because i was so buzzing, but in terms of what we need to do and capitalising on this, there is a law and ifeel like, i was speaking to some of the players who came, at wembley last night, we were watching it together, they were in tears because a lot of them, they love football and were really good when they were younger but they were stopped at a young age, whether due to the team is not continuing for their age group or not being pushed, one of our players, becky, loved playing football when she was young, captain of her school team, hated it i think, she had to travel everywhere for games and training, new coaches that took it seriously and pushed her to keep going, so she got to the point where she didn't feel like it was as poor for her or motivated, so there wasn't a chance of getting a job at the end of it, so for her being at wembley, she said, that was all she needed is a 13—year—old, that would have been the motivation for her to keep going. a lot of our players didn't have that. this is a huge moment. what you're saying, picking up on the few things there, this is not just about money and investment in sponsorship and opportunities and access to it is about attitudes to girls playing football. do you think thatis girls playing football. do you think that is now over, i do you think there's still a fight there? i that is now over, i do you think there's still a fight there? i think is still a fight, _ there's still a fight there? i think is still a fight, there _ there's still a fight there? i think is still a fight, there was - there's still a fight there? i think is still a fight, there was a - there's still a fight there? i think| is still a fight, there was a recent survey is cyclical percent of schools, i don't think that's enough, even if they offer it, going back to becky's example, i don't know if they are fully encouraged to keep it going and see it as something they should pursue. we have a lot of work to do but i do think it is even last night, since the lionesses win, we have had multiple messages from women and girls wanted tojoin our team and player grassroots, it shows you that when the code to do well, it trickles down to the grassroots level, amazing. —— when the lionesses do well. level, amazing. -- when the lionesses do well.— level, amazing. -- when the lionesses do well. the pressure is now on them _ lionesses do well. the pressure is now on them after— lionesses do well. the pressure is now on them after the _ lionesses do well. the pressure is | now on them after the celebrations to get in there, get into the schools, get into the collapse, and probably have serious talks with the fa about equality as well. we have seenin fa about equality as well. we have seen in america how women are getting paid the same as men now, do you think that is something that will happen here?

"we work in waters all over the world," aleksandr tells me. "we deal with pirates and other difficulties of the sea. "ukrainian sailors are not frightened by mines "or other challenges." the hope is that the razoni will be the first of many ships to make this journey in the coming days. for now, this is more symbolic than sizeable, but it�*s a start. russia has added 39 name to its list of officials banned from entering the country, among those blacklisted are labour party leader keir starmer, former prime minister david cameron, members of the house of lords and journalist including piers morgan and the bbc�*s huw edwards. the court of appeal is holding a last—minute hearing in the case of archie battersbee —— hours before doctors are due to withdraw life support. lawyers for the family have told the court that not postponing the book role of life support would breach international law, they turn to the un for that, and we are now hearing that the court of appeal has decided that the court of appeal has decided that the court of appeal has decided that the life—support machine does still need to be turned off, despite an appeal from the still need to be turned off, despite an appealfrom the un this still need to be turned off, despite an appeal from the un this ability committee. obviously our thoughts are with archie and his parents right now, the government has asked judges to consider that request from the un committee to keep treating the un committee to keep treating the 12—year—old while it examines the 12—year—old while it examines the case. let�*s get more detail on this, one of our news correspondents joins me now, you have been following this story. it did seem that the un intervention could give some way to archie park parents�* argument, it seems the lawyer saying the law is a law —— archie because my parents. it has just come through, i have some of the

act in the best interest of the child, that is the decision that they ultimately come to and that means that doctors sadly will withdraw life—support for archie battersbee eventually. his parents had asked the un to consider it under particular human rights articles, including the right to life and also write to ford equality, arguing he had been left disabled after he had those injuries, the un committee on the rights of persons with disabilities said it wanted time to consider that case but the court of appeal has said it is very clear, it is not foundation to uk law and therefore it says it is not appropriate to apply any kind of international law to it. ~ . ., ., to it. we have heard from the arents to it. we have heard from the parents so — to it. we have heard from the parents so

going to the high court, court of appeal to get that decision challenged, saying he simply hasn�*t been given the time he needs to heal, this only happened in april, that has always been there

wildfires. a record—breaking heatwave saw fires breaking out across london, putting the country�*s transport infrastructure at risk. the funeral has taken place of lord trimble — the former ulster unionist party leader and one of the key architects of the good friday agreement. lord trimble died last week at the age of 77. our ireland correspondent chris page reports from lisburn where the funeral took place earlier today. the funeral service here at harmony hill church, where david trimble was a member for many years, was a very dignified, moving, reflective occasion as you would expect for someone who was an internationally acclaimed peacemaker, winner of the nobel peace prize, former first minister of northern ireland, he was the first person to hold that post, after the power—sharing devolved government which he designed and crafted came into being in the late 1990s. part of the good friday agreement of which lord trimble was one of the key architects, that peace deal largely ended 30 years of political violence in this part of the uk. that agreement was his crowning achievement. there were people reflecting during the service, it was an agreement for which he faced very strong opposition from within unionism. some thought he made too many concessions to the ira and sinn fein, ultimately that led to an electoral decline for mr trimble and his party, but whenever you looked at the range of people from different backgrounds in that church today, from borisjohnson to his irish counterpart, to the former sinn fein leader gerry adams, to the current leader of the democratic unionist party, jeffrey donaldson, who was an opponent of the good friday agreement, you get a sense of the high esteem in which lord trimble has been held, and real sense of his contribution to history. a family friend, reverend charles mcmullen, a presbyterian clergyman, said history was set to be very kind to lord trimble after a life in which he faced relentless pressure. lord godson, anotherfamily friend, director of the think tank policy exchange, he wrote trimble�*s biography, said he was the most significant leader unionism had ever had since northern ireland was founded in 1921, he was the first unionist leader to have a global reputation, godson said. a few of the vips have left, borisjohnson departed about ten minutes ago, likewise the irish president, but a few members of the public have been staying here, a few hundred people gathered outside the church, members of the public listening to the service on loudspeakers, lord trimble�*s coffin remains in the church, his burial ceremony will take place here in lisburn, his home city, later this afternoon. it has been a day of intense personal sadness for lord trimble�*s family, his widow daphne, his four children who took part in his service, as this very public life has been commemorated today, has been remembered for those closest to lord trimble, it has been a chance to look back and remember what we heard of his family life, a very dedicated family man, dedicated to his children and to his grandchildren, and they will be the ones who feel his loss most intensely but you have got a real impression today of how lord trimble has left his mark, his indelible mark on northern ireland and the contribution he has made to the peace which has largely held since the good friday agreement which lord trimble crafted, signed back in 1998. researchers have begun a project to discover the origins of the stars we see in the night sky. they are using a new instrument, called weave, which has been installed on the william herschel telescope, high on a mountain top on the island of la palma — one of the canary islands. our science correspondent, pallab ghosh, has this report. they shine in the night sky, but how did they get there? the answer is contained in the light the stars actually give off. gavin dalton has spent more than a decade developing an instrument to study the light from 5 million stars — to reveal the secrets of how our galaxy was created — and now, it�*s ready to go. it�*s a fantastic achievement from a lot of people to make this happen, and it�*s great to see it working. so the next step is the new adventure, it�*s brilliant. we�*ll learn about this really detailed structure, we�*ll learn about the dynamics and how the stars are moving around, and we�*ll learn about the evolutionary histories. our galaxy was once a small collection of stars. it grew from the merger of other galaxies, over billions of years. each collision leading to the creation of brand—new stars, until it became the dense spiral swirl it is today. the new instrument can piece together exactly how this happened. by using optical fibres, it�*s able to capture the light from a thousand stars every hour, revealing the age and direction of each one. it tells scientists where they came from and where they will go next. whenever there is a new instrument or something big going on, there is all the things for what the instrument was designed, but then there is an enormous amount of things that we are going to discover that we still don't know, because the universe is full of these surprises. so how does this instrument find out what stars are made of? scientists take starlight and pass it through a prism, splitting it into a rainbow spectrum. every element, like hydrogen, absorbs light in its own unique way, appearing as lines on the spectrum. different chemicals have their own characteristic bar code, allowing astronomers to work out what the star is made of. the telescope is just one of a dozen on the mountaintop, each one probing the skies in different ways. they can see much more of the cosmos than ever before. the new telescopes are about to lift a veil on the cosmos, uncovering the deep secrets of our milky way. by revealing the path of millions of stars in the night sky, it�*ll give astronomers the big picture of how our galaxy came to be. pallab ghosh, bbc news, la palma. time for a look at the weather with helen. we knew it was going to be a dry july but the figures are rolling in and forjersey it has been confirmed, but the driestjuly on record, dating back to 1894, less than a millimetre of rain has fallen throughout the month ofjuly but not just the channel islands, across parts of southern england, central and southern england, east anglia, south—east also had the wettestjuly on record, some of those records dating back to 1836. we welcome back some reign of the atlantic but it is unlikely we will see much rain where we desperate need it, but many parts have had a dryjuly, you can see the rain coming across northern ireland, continuing this evening, heavy rain ushered in on a fairly brisk wind moving into western fringes of scotland, england and wales, head of that we have another warm day, temperatures into the mid 20s. without rain, also we will get more humidity. a really humid night in the south last night, we had a grass frost in the north, not tonight, we have all this rain coming in, heavy rain, appreciable rain, welcome rain getting into parts of northern england, wales, the midlands, but across the far south and south—east, probably less likely. temperatures 18 sulphate, the high humidity, lots of misty low cloud and hill folk art, different complexion to the weather. heavier bursts of rain initially then starts to peter out as it starts to sit across central areas, to the north with the breeze for cloud will break up, sunshine coming through, mostly in the west, sunshine for northern ireland and mostly dry in the south and east in east anglia. 29—30 here, warmer than today further north. an area of low pressure staying with us tomorrow night and into wednesday, still throwing showers into the north and still some rain on this when the front tomorrow night and into wednesday across central areas, but unlikely to get more than drizzly rain in the south, misty low cloud, showers follow. freshening by wednesday in the north, north—westerly wind, 27—28 in the south, two or three uncomfortable nights to come, warm days before finally the north—westerly rations everywhere up, becoming more bearable for sleeping but still little sign of any much—needed rain in the north or indeed further south, high pressure into the weekend for most of us. hello this is bbc news. the headlines: the court of appeal has refused to extend life support spree on tuesday for archie battersbee. celebrations continue after england beat germany 2—1 to become champions of europe for the first time, in the most watched women�*s football game in uk television history. a man has appeared at lincoln crown court this afternoon, charged with murdering nine—year—old lilia valutyte, who was stabbed to death in boston, lincolnshire. the first ship carrying grain leaves the ukrainian port of odesa under an agreement brokered by turkey. and scientists supercharge one of earth�*s most powerful telescopes with new technology that will reveal how our galaxy formed, in unprecedented detail. it's it�*s not just it�*s notjust the euros. let�*s cross to birmingham. good afternoon. england�*s golden games in the gymnastics continues to be a highlight of the commonwealths here in birmingham, not least because local boyjoe fraser has picked up his second. fraser�*s routine brought a score of 14.833, which nobody could match — not even defending champion rhys mcclenaghan from northern ireland, who won the silver. fraser has been recovering from a foot injury that has prevented him from doing some of the disciplines — but he�*ll go for a third gold in the rings later. it was courtney tulloch of england was the standout performance on the rings. the defending champion put in an outstanding display to get his second gold of the games. fraser himself finished in fourth position, but courtney tulloch with the gold in the rings in the last few moments england�*s georgia may fenton has won the women�*s uneven bars. also defending her title. score of 13.9 for her. she was in the team�*s success earlier in the week, it is her second gold of the games. georgia may fenton adding to the list of golden gymnasts for team england from the commonwealth games. add to that list jake jarman. he�*s become a triple commonwealth champion after his third title in the floor final. the 20—year—old gymnast blew the competition away, with england�*s giarnni regini—moran taking the bronze. jarman was also part of the team that won gold, while he also won the individual all—around event yesterday. i�*ll never get used to the feeling. it is really, i�*ll say it again, the atmosphere here is just amazing. it�*s something else. to be able to come out here and experience it every time, it�*s really special. it�*s a huge confidence booster no that everyone here is a supporting member of the gymnastics community, and it�*s amazing. there�*s also been a bronze for scotland�*s shannon archer in the women�*s vault final. it�*s team scotland�*s first ever medal in women�*s artistic gymastics. the event was won by georgia godwin of australia, claiming her second gold of the games. the action continues right now. it�*s the fourth and final day of track cycling action, which has been dramatic so far. these are the live pictures of the scratch race, the women�*s scratch race, ten kilometres, 40 laps, 26 of them to go, the likes of laura kenny for england all out on the track right now. a fairly simple bunch race, they go from start to finish, whoever wins wins the gold. that is to be decided in the next ten to 15 minutes or so. it�*s live on bbc one. earlier, the first gold of the 28 that�*ll be won on day four went to england�*s chris murray in the weightlifting. the four—time british champion won the men�*s 81 kilo category. he lifted a combined 325 kilograms across both clean and jerk and snatch — that�*s a games record, his clean and jerk alone was 181 kilograms, roughly the same weight as a car engine or male gorilla. a lot of people were supporting me for the first time at this competition, i had tried, the crowd was so loud i just tried to stay in my own head space, just lift the weights, but it was hard, you so after every lift i just had to celebrate with them, in my career when i�*ll have that noise they make much noise ever again, it was incredible. it�*s been intense afternoon in the final of the lawn bowls men�*s triples. england have won the gold medal, beating australia, who they led australia 8—o seven ends. the australians whittled the lead down, but england eventually held on to win the gold medal 14—12. guernsey meanwhile are assured of a first medal since 1994 after lucy beere reached the final of the women�*s singles. away from the commonwealth games, big news from the world of golf, team england have confirmed luke donald will be their new captain. the 44—year—old former world number one has replaced the man who was originally referred to him in the recruitment process, when the other man was stripped a fortnight ago. donald is the first englishman to lead europe since nick faldo

night and the fa says the success will "turbo charge" the women�*s game in this country. england forward beth. the legacy is what the conversation is about, how do we use this to continue to inspire girls? and i think it starts with investing in the programmes young, in schools, having accessibility to it. i was fortunate to attend a school that valued football, so i could do that, but i know that is not the story for many girls across the country even today. i think there definitely needs to be a joint effort making sure that we bring football to girls rather than girls having to seek it out. what is the problem? is it that some schools do not allow girls to play football officially, is it that there are not enough clubs, or not enough funding? and that is just grassroots — do those problems continue into semiprofessional and professional leagues? i think for any pyramid to work, if you think about football as a pyramid, it needs a strong base, we need to have so much interest at that lower level that feeds up to the top, so i do think there needs to be more schools engaged, more funding int
