they'll go from the calm of repino to the frenzy of the calm of repino to the frenzy of the world cup and then it is the final preparations for the match which is a 7pm kick—off against tunisia against tunisia. tunisia only conceded four goals in qualifying and they went nine games unbeaten recently until losing to spain in a pretournament warm up, only edged out in the final minute. england are young and an inexperienced squad, hoping to make an impact. today there are three matches including germany against mexico and the favourites brazil against switzerland. the focus for us and many people watching is england. you can see more on all of today's stories on the bbc news channel. the next news on bbc one is at 18:40 — bye for now. hello. you're watching the bbc news channel. campaigners are calling for medicinal cannabis to be made legally available in the uk, after the home secretary intervened to help a 12—year—old suffering from epilepsy. sajid javid granted billy caldwell the right to use cannabis oil, after he was admitted to hospital with extreme seizures. billy's mother says

england returning to their repino training base this morning, their world cup campaign up and runningave left it late but harry kane's dramatic stoppage time header in volgograd last night secured a first opening—match victory at the tournament since 2006. substitute marcus rashford had helped regain the initiative for england when he came on in the second half. and today the manchester united striker told me just how much the result meant. it's unbelievable and i think when you score, there's nothing that really matches scoring a late winner. i think the fans all can sense that and we definitely sense that on the pitch. england were back training today, knowing that a win against panama in their next match on sunday should be enough to secure a place in the knockout stage of the tournament. this youthful, developing squad came to russia as something of an unknown quantity, but having proved they have what it takes to succeed at this level, last night's victory felt like an important first step in england's recovery after so many failures at recent major tournaments. if you don't win

our sports editor dan roan reports from repino.rning to begin preparations for a match that this time they know they can't afford to lose. after two opening wins, a much weakened side faltered against belgium in kaliningrad last night and they now have just four days to regroup before the first knockout match, against colombia. so, how far could they go? i think for us to get to the semis would be a massive achievement. it's possible, as we saw in this tournament, people can beat anybody. so it is a possibility, but realistically i think they would do very well to get that far. commentator: barely come on, and it's in! england may be in the kinder half of the draw, but tuesday's opponents colombia represent a stern challenge, quarterfinalists at the last world cup. the south americans are also one of the best supported teams here in russia. i have heard that we are like 30,000 fans in russia, so that's incredible. it's better that we have england in the next round than belgium. i guess both are going to make a great game and i hope

they've made the almost 600—mile journey from their training base in repino on the gulf of finland, tots correspondent natalie pirks is at the stadium for us, and natalie it's going to be a hot one? yes, incredibly hard and incredibly loud. three hours to go until kick—off and england fans are starting to arrive and the flags are going up. let me show you around this beautiful stadium, 45 —— 45,000 seats, built for £700 million, and these transparent panels light up at night, which is beautiful. but that is making it incredibly hot. it is about 31 degrees but pitch side is even hotter. gareth southgate said that wouldn't affect the players. there are no physiological benefits to training in the heat so they carried on training in repino yesterday, 12 or 13 degrees cooler than this. it is hot to work in and it will be even hotter to play in. we know that dele alli is injured and ruben loftus—cheek will take his place in midfield. the big decision for gareth southgate was that the jo blair raheem sterling. no goals in 21 games for england. —— the big decision was to play raheem sterling.

after two days of rest and recovery, england were training again today at their base in repino garethn yesterday following that shoulder dislocation. only dele alli was missing from the session. he has this high strain that he is nursing, he was doing a bit of training away from the group on his todd indoors, as they look to see if you will be fit for the match against penna —— panama on sunday. this has everybody talking, steve holland, karen southgate's assistant. it's an old one, wafting around a team sheet, everybodyjump to conclusions. it looks as though dele alli is not in contention for the panama game. it also seems to say that he and raheem sterling will be out with rashford coming in. i will be revealed, the players will probably say they have up anything, but everyone is getting hot under the collar by steve holland's team sheets. that is the latest from russia here, a dark day for argentina. let's head back to tim now in salford for the rest of the day's sport. another one day international, another victory for england's cricketers as they won the fourth match of the serie

they trained in repino. they are quite happy that they will be ready for kick—off.'ll play tonight. we know dele's not going to play but a decision to make up front? well, i think the big issue was whether raheem sterling would be dropped and instead marcus rashford would start. raheem sterling has not scored in 21 games for england. i just hope you can hear this. marcus rashford has also made a big contribution in the game against costa rica when he started. he got a man of the match performance. we understand that raheem sterling will keep his place but i think that is gareth southgate keeping faith with the team that has got them this far. ruben loftus—cheek should start ahead of dele alli because he is injured. gareth southgate was upbeat yesterday in his press conference. it is clear whose side is a very positive mood. history is not the important thing for this team. they have an opportunity to create their own history, and they should be excited about that. you know, they're a young team that are going to get better and better. i really enjoy working with all

from repino, here's our sports correspondent david ornstein. england arrived back here to their hotel at 4:30am and today has been all about rest and recovery. they will return to training tomorrow ahead of travelling to moscow on monday for their match against colombia on tuesday evening. we know the outcome of their group, if they had won it they would have finished top and being in potentially the far tougher half of the draw, facing a number of former champions to win the competition. as it happens, they have a potentially kinder path towards the final if they are to get there. if they were beat colombia, then they will go on to the quarterfinals next saturday against sweden or switzerland. win that and they would be in a semifinal against spain or denmark and i do not think it is even worth talking about the final at this point. chris waddle thinks england have a glorious opportunity, but they should not underestimate colombia. they will be thinking we can go to the semi—finals here. before you hit, they are all hard games, but before you

gareth southgate showed his hand in training — a session which took place behind closed doors in repinoence, something evident from manchester city's fabian delph who spoke to the media earlier today. we area we are a close, close bunch but once training starts, it is fiery, very spicy. the intensity is there and people are not afraid to dig people out. nothing is ever personal. that is what i have found with this squad, nothing is personal. if someone has something to say, as long as it is constructive criticism, people take it on the chin. england's cricketers have gone 2—0 up in theirfive match one—day series with australia after a 38 run win in cardiff. in a rain—interrupted match england made 342—8 from their 50 overs. jason roy hit 120 and jos butler made an unbeaten 91. shaun marsh scored a fine 131 for the aussies but they were eventually dismissed with 17 balls remaining. the third match is in nottingham on tuesday. england have lost a fifth rugby international in a row for the first time in four years after again squandering an early lead against south africa. last week it was
