how do you feel that head coach shelley kerr is going to line 7 coach shelley kerr is going to line you match against jamaica, there were of huge defensive errors. what will she do today? i think the defensive errors we re do today? i think the defensive errors were made by players who would still be involved in the starting line—up, certainly keen players, and shelley's line—up against jamaica, it is quite an attacking midfield and i think that is something she's going to have changed tonight because you can't sit out against an england team and all attacking players, because they are so all attacking players, because they are so strong going forward. sol think they will be cautious in terms of how they will defend, take no chances, hopefully. shelley will have said to them, let's not make mistakes, and try and stay in the game for as long as possible. if they can stop england from scoring for a good spell in the game, then they have got dangerous players. and we knew that there were a few injury worries in the england camp, toni duggan does not start, she came up with a thigh injury t

and the wales women's tea m shelley kerr and the wales women's team managerjane ludlow.urse the majority of the honours have gone to people who are not in the public eye. the work in their communities across the country. people like this woman who has been made an 0be for her work campaigning against female genital mutilation. this will shine a spotlight on the work that campaigners like you do, is that a valuable thing?|j work that campaigners like you do, is that a valuable thing? i spoke up because i was hurt 20 years after i was subjected to fgm, girls in the uk were still at risk, and we have a decade between now and 2030 to make sure that we save the most vulnerable girls on the planet. the theme of improving the lives of others is also reflected in awards made to 15 foster carers including gordon and brenda potter who have looked after around 200 children over 43 years. something we have enjoyed doing for so long has actually won us there is award. i would hate never to have done it, i am very proud of the award, but i am glad i have done it. and tommy mcardle has

shelley kerr spoke to me yesterday and told me that 100% of her squad were fully fit. that the players put themselves under. in terms of end results, of course we are hoping to win the game. i think any footballer and any coach, you go into every game hoping to win it, and it's going to be a tough, tough match for us. so, jane, what has the atmosphere been like in the build—up to this huge match? in the centre of nice there has been something of an influx of british tourists. we have seen many of the england lioness is kits, and the scotla nd england lioness is kits, and the scotland national kits, too. a few kilts as well, i can confirm we have seen. and there is banter between the fans, not much animosity, a bit of ribbing, so the atmosphere has been lovely. lots of families come m, been lovely. lots of families come in, people bringing their daughters and sons to come and watch the women‘s game. and also, the capacity to night, we are told it is going to bea to night, we are told it is going to be a sell out in the stand in nice. we have turned the camera around awa

head coach shelley kerr has been speaking to the media.re the favourites, she knows there is no other option but a scotland victory if scotland are looking at staying here in france beyond the group stages. now, she also said that she had received words of encouragement from someone very special, sir alex ferguson. everyone knows sir alex, so i probably won't tell you every thing, because he did say that he was disappointed in some of the decisions of that have been made against us. he was very complimentary about the team. the determination, the stamina, and the togetherness, to finish so strongly in both games. he's watched both of them, he sent us a message before we came here. it's absolutely brilliant for myself, as a manager, and for him to contact me and also for the players, for him to pass on his best wishes, and he's going to be cheering at the game tomorrow night, so it's brilliant, great bit of support from an absolute legend. remember, it's two defeats from two for scotland so far, that defeat in nice to england and then the 2

jane dougall has spent some time with shelley kerr's squad.ssion in the tomorrow morning, they will fly from edinburgh airport for the first match against england on sunday, when i should 91, easily the most experienced member but you know how to pack for world cup? are you ready to pack for world cup? are you ready to go? i probably wont find out until actually get to france, but i've managed to get through this, but as long as i have my boots i think i'll be ok. we look at the scotla nd think i'll be ok. we look at the scotland squad, there's so many players. so many members, do you know if you're prepared? yes, it gives us more of an insight of who will be plank against, we've got just a case of getting the tactics and the team right on the day and obviously that is up to shelley and we trust everything that the staff have for us. steve clark popped his head around, how do you feel that that just how much head around, how do you feel that thatjust how much the game has evolved in this country? it certainly has come a small thing like that m

scotland may have lost to england on sunday, but head coach shelley kerr says she wants them to buildod second half performance in that game. they face another tough test tomorrow when they face japan, who drew with argentina in their opening match. i think ithink our i think our expectations are still the same. the target hasn't changed for us, i would still like to get out of the grip, and it's a different type of game. we are going to face a very competent japanese tea m to face a very competent japanese team that are technically very good players, professional and both infeed and movement are incredible said the grain plan changes a little bit in terms of how conduct that. said the grain plan changes a little bit in terms of how conduct thatlj think bit in terms of how conduct that.” think i've had a very strong year this year, they were at the cup and plate against type countries in the wild, had they been exceptionally well so i think it'll be naive to think that tomorrow will be easy. there wanted the best teens in the world. they deserve that recognition and you have to respec

acknowledged they we re but shelley kerr acknowledged they were not a team to be underestimatedt argentina. yes, it was a lacklustre performance, it finished 0—0, and also earlier this yeari finished 0—0, and also earlier this year i watched them at the shebelieves cup in america where they didn't play terribly well against america and didn't play terribly well against england, but the thing is, a lot of teams peaked during a world cup and shelley kerr acknowledged that could be the case. and also, don't forget that it is crucial for both teams to get a result out of this match this afternoon. scotland at the moment are bottom of their group. if they lose in this match this afternoon they could be looking at a journey home. but on the other hand, if they win and they take a very important result from this afternoon's match, then they could be on their way to getting out of the group stages for the first time ever. we will have to leave it there, but fascinating stuff, especially the insight into what they have been doing in their hideaway chateau, games like chicken run. jane do

saved and twice it was ordered to be retaken — and when converted — it shattered the dreams of shelley kerrer side. watching was jim lumsden. this was argentina's third world cup in scotland's first, but the competition looked to be growing on the scots. less than 20 minutes gone they were ahead. 1—0 at diabre, jan beatty their lead. they seized on any error, 3—0 scotland. but argentina wouldn't die. scotland had been coasting, but they began to fall apart as it was made at 3—2. then the va are drama. the penalty awarded to argentina. —— var. it was saved by lee alexander, but she was judged to have left alive. it was reta ken. judged to have left alive. it was retaken. this time no mistake, 3—3 result, scotland had blown it. they are on the plane home, argentina may follow. it is absolutely gutting. 0n it is absolutely gutting. on a positive note, the girls have been unbelievable. it has been such an incredible journey being here for the first time. i felt like we have well and truly and a place on the stage and will hopefully be back in four years‘ time. stage and will hopefully be back i

everybody including shelley kerr on the touchline was shouting for a penalty.t a few minutes before the end, scotla nd just a few minutes before the end, scotland managed to get that goal and it was erin cuthbert who pounced ona and it was erin cuthbert who pounced on a mistake from the japanese defender, passing it to cleland, who slotted it home. so, scotland did get their goal, there is some hope but it does not look terribly likely. they will need to go to paris and beat argentina. yeah, do you think shelley kerr and the coaching staff believe they can take those three points, but then of course they are also relying on other results elsewhere as well to get that best third placed finish? of course, on paper, argentina are 37th in the world, scotland are 20th in the fifa rankings so they were a lwa ys in the fifa rankings so they were always going into this tournament thinking that hopefully they would be able to beat argentina and try to get a better result against england andjapan. get a better result against england and japan. obviously that was not to b

also, they have a brand—new head coach in shelley kerr who has been credited with building a comprehensiveaching scotland to e 1—0 win over brazil, the first time any scotland squad has ever beaten brazil and also a narrow lo55 against the usa, ju5t 1-0. narrow lo55 against the usa, ju5t 1—0. don't forget, this is the old enemy, it's like a derby match which means on sunday anything could happen. if it doesn't you can see it on the bbc. jane, thank you. full coverage of the women's world cup on the bbc. amanda anisimova has become the youngest semifinali5t at the french open for 13 years and she beat defending champion, simona halep. it's not only a french open title that separates simona halep and amanda anisimova, there is also a decade between them. from the offset the unseeded american seem to take it in her stride, this is what a taste of things to come. she had never won a match at roland garros before this year but shots like this show why she was yet to drop a set. playing hard and deep, this wasjust teenage kicks. the youngster ran away with the first set 6—2 and she was running a

how does shelley kerr have to set up against them tonight?e are hoping that we start how we finished the last two mac games, argentina have surprised some and i am impressed how they set up defensively. we will need to see a different side of the game. a must win game for them. scotla nd game. a must win game for them. scotland i think it is key that we start the game well, we have the courage and get the ball wide and use the pace of our wide players and create hopefully get our better the ball and get down the players on the ball and get down the argentina defence. does she may be have to start with clare emslie? in the last game i think she was a mess. she had a great impact. she is a great player and not —— this.“ scotla nd a great player and not —— this.“ scotland beat argentina still looking at other results and the way it can be with scotland as well. we don't like depending on other people but do you think they can do it?|j think we can. we knew argentina was a must win game and i don't think anyone has changed, same situation. the fa

and its congratulations to their manager, shelley kerr, who's been made an mbe in the queen's honoursthere's coverage of today's matches across the bbc. germany against china kicks off at 2, live on bbc one, with the later games both on the red button and online. there's more on the bbc sport website, including the latest from the french open, with novak djokovic and dominic thiem into a fith set in their semifinal. but that's all from me for now. you can see more on all of today's stories on the bbc news channel. the next bulletin on bbc one is at 6.30. bye for now. you're watching the bbc news channel with shaun ley. it's now 17 minutes past one. as we've been hearing, famous names and members of the public have been honoured in this year's queen's birthday honours list. one of them is sir simon woolley, the co founder and director for operation black vote. he's been knighted for services to race equality. i spoke to him earlier and asked him for his reaction. it is truly an honour, i am deeply honoured. but it is a surprise, people get awards often for the kind of work you do preci

in the world cup for the first time, and they've shown a huge improvement under former defender shelley kerrnly a very different side to the one thrashed 6—0 by england at euro 2017. there is no doubt that there is certainly more pressure on england than there is on scotland. however the pressure that we have, will be pressure that players put themselves under. in terms of results, of course we are hoping to win the game. i think any footballer and any coach, you go into every game hoping to win it. it is going to be a tough match for us. india are well on top in their cricket world cup match against australia at the oval. having won the toss and chosen to bat, openers rohit sharma and shikhar dhawan put on 127 for the first wicket. india are now 225—2 after 38 overs. dominic thiem faces another really tough match today, in the final of the french open. after beating the world number one novak djokovic in five sets yesterday, he'll take on rafael nadal — with the 11—time champion playing on his favourite surface. it is incredible. it is something very special and difficult to explain. but he

manager shelley kerr was left bemoaning referreeing decisions throughout the tournament, after they gave lead in dramatic fashion against argentina in their final group game. they were given a warm welcome home. a valiant effort against argentina in the final. well, after scotland's world cup heartbreak, involving the video assistant referee, england midfielder karen carney has been standing up for the system which has seen a number of penalties being retaken. scotland fell foul of the rule, when lee alexander saved a penalty but var showed she'd come off her line before the ball was struck. argentina scored the retake, sending the scots home but carney can see it from the other side. i don't think people appreciate how difficult it is. it looks easy from 12 yards out and when you're under pressure and fatigued and there are thousands and millions of people watching at home, i don't think people appreciate the pressure that person is under so i don't think there's ever an easy time to take a penalty, even with what's going on at the moment, it's always difficult and it takes a big charac

golfing champion georgia hall has been made an mbe, as have the scottish women's team head coach shelley kerr women's team managerjane ludlow. but of course the majority of the honours have gone to people who are not in the public eye, for their work in communities across the country. people like nimco ali, who has been made an 0be for her work campaigning against female genital mutilation. i spoke up because i was hurt that 20 years after i was subjected to fgm, girls in the uk were still at risk, and now we have a decade between now and 2030 to make sure that we save the most vulnerable girls on the planet. 15 foster carers have been given mbes, including gordon and brenda potter. they have looked after hundreds of children. something we have enjoyed doing for so long has actually won us this award. i would hate never to have done it, i am very proud of the award, but i am glad i have done it. and liverpool street cleaner tommy mcardle has been given a british empire medal for services to the community. his reaction? wow! laughs. i didn't believe it at first, i thought the people in there w

next up for a shelley kerr's side are the 2011 champions japan, but after they laboured to a draw against minnows argentina, scotland will be hopeful. hope was distinctly lacking for thailand as they went up against the holders usa and were destroyed. 13—0 was the final score, a record win at a world cup. 0nce again in women's football it is america leading the way. now it is time for the weather. helen willetts is with me. still pretty grim for some people. absolutely, we need the rain but it is coming on at once, we have had a month of rain widely in the past few days but some areas in lincolnshire have had two months of rain, four inches have fallen in holbeach and there is more to come, numerous flood warnings are out at the moment, lots of standing water as well and this is how it looks, you can see the rain across scotland and northern ireland today, this drags the eye across the south and east and we have some storms across the channel. lots to talk about, especially if you are on the roads, there is standing water and river flood warnings, the met warnings. for the rest of the aft

shelley kerr watch that game and said, nothing changes, we need to beat argentina to give as a chance since the draw was made. scotland can still technically qualify, if they beat argentina and other results go their way. in each of the six groups the top two teams automatically qualify for the knockout stages, then four of the teams that finish in third place will go through. if scotland are to be one of those four teams then they at least need to beat argentina and hope that other teams do not do as well. if not, they are flying back to edinburghfar well. if not, they are flying back to edinburgh far faster than they thought. away from the women's world cup — derby county are talking to manager frank lampard about a new contract amid growing speculation that chelsea are about to approach him to replace outgoing boss maurizio sarri. chelsea are yet to make contact with derby about lampard, who is the overwhelming favourite to take over from juventus—bound sarri at stamford bridge. however, derby are keen for him to extend his current deal, which still has two years to run and have al

and no doubt the players have been offering congratulations, to their manager shelley kerr, who's been.b.e in the queen's honours list, for her services to football. eden hazard, has posted a letter to chelsea fans, on social media, saying leaving them, for real madrid, was the toughest decision of his career. he adds it has always been his dream to play for the spanish giants, since he was a boy, after chelsea confirmed they're agreed a deal, to sell him to the real, who haven't revealed the exact fee, but it could exceed £150 million. at the french open, dominic thiem now leads novak djokovic by two sets to one in their semifinal — there's text commentary on the bbc sport website. that's all the sport — now it's time for click. this week, a city brought to a stop by ransomware. going greener in india. electric whirring. and does the future of motorsport sound like this? electric whirring. formula e. the highest class of competition for electrically—powered racing cars. it is still very young, with its inaugural season taking place in 2014. but it's quickly becoming incredibly popular

shelley kerr, the head coach of scotland, the last time they played, scotland had a lot of injuries,y to their squad, but also under her, she has brought them along a lot more, they are playing better as a team, bonding better as a team, and she has brought in some players that she has played with herself throughout her career, she had 59 caps for scotland. and also, under her, scotland beat brazil 1—0 in april, that is the first time that any scottish team has ever beaten brazil, and just before christmas, they narrowly lost to the usai-o. so christmas, they narrowly lost to the usa 1-0. so it christmas, they narrowly lost to the usa 1—0. so it is a far improved scottish side that will meet england, and i don't think we will see a repeat of that 6—0 loss. however it will be in this magnificent stadium, they have finished watering the pitch, we did get a bit soaked earlier, but i can confirm they have stopped watering it and it is very lush and green. more than 36,000 people will be watching in the stands when they kick off in an hour and a half's time. thank you, jane. not long to g

shelley kerr saying not much really changes for her side but i guess they will need a better attacking they will need a better attacking performance, won't they? yes, i think that is something they? yes, i think that is something they will have to regroup and talk about. it seems that tonight erin cuthbert and claire ainslie were the only two players who managed to get behind the japan defence and they will have to try far harder than that against the argentinian defence. watching their game against japan, they just park defence. watching their game against japan, theyjust park the bus, they put as many players as they could behind the ball. i would imagine they are going to look for another draw because they are very aware that scotland have two losses now, they are bottom of the group, it will be very difficult for them to get any chance of getting through to the knockout stages, there is a slim chance mathematically, we won't go into it because it does depend on several other results but scotland looking again at another loss when theiraim at looking again at another loss when their

so far for shelley kerr's side it's been a case of too little, too late.lts go their way. even in the england and japan game when we were down 2—nil, i mean everyone saw those second halves were so much better. and, you know, we are not really sure why we end up in those positions and then finally upping our game. but hopefully it won't go that way, hopefully, you know, we know what we need to do and three points is the main focus. but argentina's players are not in any rush to go home either. few people gave them a chance in this tournament, but team spirit and some stern defence has given them a shot at the last 16. come this evening, if they win, scotland face a waiting game while england still have their eyes on the biggest catch of all. katie gornall, bbc news, nice. with more than 70 films to his name including "dangerous liasons", "the killing fields" and "con air", john malkovich is regarded as one america's most versatile actors. tonight, after a break of nearly 30 years, he returns to the west end for the world premiere of "bitter wheat", a new p

that shelley kerr is saying that they are very dangerous and do not expect anything less.ng at progression through the back door, through the third—place. remember four groups have a third place. four from six have a third—place. the way other results are going, it looks like scotland will need four points to qualify. before the competition started it seemed as if three would be good enough but now it looks they will need for so they will have to ta ke will need for so they will have to take something from japan. scotland, at the moment are on a high. it is the first world cup campaign. they will go into this game this evening with some confidence. great stuff and it does look beautiful behind you there. going through all the permutations and i think scotland can win today. they only need one point, technically, buti can win today. they only need one point, technically, but i think they prefer a victory. they are in a buoyant mood. such a beautiful view behind him. cobbled streets and a cafe behind him. the game between scotland and japan kicks off at 2 o‘clock and is live

next up for a shelley kerr's side are the 2011 champions japan, but after they laboured to a draw againstgainst the holders usa and were destroyed. 13—0 was the final score, a record win at a world cup. 0nce again in women's football it is america leading the way. now it is time for the weather. helen willetts is with me. still pretty grim for some people. absolutely, we need the rain but it is coming on at once, we have had a month of rain widely in the past few days but some areas in lincolnshire have had two months of rain, four inches have fallen in holbeach and there is more to come, numerous flood warnings are out at the moment, lots of standing water as well and this is how it looks, you can see the rain

scotland get their world cup campaign underway against england in nice tomorrow — and their manager shelley kerrtional team since 2017, and she's rewarded for her services to football. wales managerjayne ludlow has also been recognised, along with english golfer georgia hall. eden hazard said it was a "dream" to play for real madrid, after chelsea confirmed they're agreed a deal to sell him to the spanish side — real haven't revealed the exact fee but it could exceed £150 million pounds. the republic of ireland drew 1—all with denmark in their euro 2020 qualifier in copenhagen, shane duffy scoring the equaliser in the 85th minute. ireland are top of their group. as charlie mentioned in paris it is the women's final here today. johanna konta had a great chance to be in the final, but could not do it. despite leading in both sets, she was beaten by the czech teenager marketa vondrousova, who'll take on australia's ashley barty. rafael nadal‘s match against roger federer was interrupted by a clay "dust storm". but it didn't put off nadal, who won in straight sets to reach the final — he's one step

head coach shelley kerr revealed sir alex ferguson had been in touch with the squad to wish them luck both games. and it is absolutely brilliant for myself, as absolutely brilliant for myself, as a manager, and for him to contact me, and also for the players, for him to pass on his best wishes, and he is going to be tuning into the game. it was brilliant. a great bit of support from an absolute legend. england have already qualified for the last 16, so there's less riding on their match against japan tonight. but england know a win or a draw will see them finish top of the group and that could effect who they play in the knockouts. coming to this world cup, having beaten the likes of usa, france, germany now, we compete against them in every single game we play against the top teams, where no pushover, to think that shows now and we know we've got as good a chance as anyone to win any game that we come up against. well, england are used to playing japan at world cups — they've met each other at the last three tournaments, but the lionesses have very difficult memories of the last one

so far for shelley kerr's side, it has been a case of too little too late.n games, when we were down 2—0, eve ryo ne japan games, when we were down 2—0, everyone saw the second half was so much better and we are not sure why we end up in those positions and then finally not upping our game, but hopefully it won't go that way. hopefully we know what we need to do and three points as the main focus. but argentina's players aren't in any rush to go home either. a few people gave them a chance in this tournament but team spirit and some stern defence has given them a shot at the last 16. come this evening, if they win, scotland face our waiting game, while england still have their eyes on the biggest catch of all. so plenty of ways to stay up—to—date with both games, which get under way at the same time this evening. well, the other football tournament english players are involved in the summer was at the under 21 level in a men's game. england have a team packed full of potential for the future but they lost their first group match last night to — one against f

scotland head coach shelley kerr was quick to point the finger at what she called appalling decisionsmen's world cup last night. they needed to win against argentina to have any chance of reaching the last 15 and at 3—0 up of reaching the last 15 and at 3—0 up there was every chance they would do it. lee alexander thought she had saved that injury time penalty but she stepped off the line before the ball was kicked. 3—3, a heartbreak for scotland, the result left a bad taste in the mouth for the coach. we are all feeling hard done by. that spells in the game i thought we were great and we showed we were capable of doing ourfirst great and we showed we were capable of doing our first world cup great and we showed we were capable of doing ourfirst world cup but right now we are feeling a bit hard done by. decisions haven't gone in our favour through the tournament and we need to be mentally strong now. england were already through to the last 16, with three wins out of three, victory over japan the last 16, with three wins out of three, victory overjapan who beat them in the semifinals

it was a dreadful first half for shelley kerr's side, both goals in the first half.be slightly disappointed with that. as they needed a strong start, to have any hope against the 2011 world champions. japan's second came on a few minutes before half time. rachel corsie, scotland's captain, judged to have given away a penalty. yuika sugasawa stepped up to convert. let's take a look at the live action, from rennes. scotland with it all to do if they're avoid remaining bottom of group d, with little hope of making the stage. jamaica face italy at 5 and later, it's england against argentina. it's live on bbc one. england will be hoping to maintain their 100% record, with a win over a side 30 places below them. manager phil neville is looking forward to renewing one of football's great rivalries. what you've got with this game is the football history and rivalry. and i think that's... that's what we've got to handle. when the draw was made, the scotland—argentina games were games where you thought we've got to handle the occasion as well as the game, handle the emotion of

shelley kerr's side had room to improve and in the second half they had england scrambling. continuing development that they ran phil neville's side as close as they did. world cups are all about building momentum. england leave with the results they wanted, while scotland have a performance to give them hope. katie gornall, bbc news, in nice. and england and scotland's next fixtures are on friday this week, scotland play japan in the lunchtime game — coverage starts at 1.30pm on bbc one and bbc alba in scotland, and england face argentina later that day with live coverage also on bbc one from 7.30pm. there were two other matches in the women's world cup yesterday. cristiane scored a hat—trick as brazil beat jamaica 3—0 in grenoble to go top of group c. italy beat australia in the same group. england's men won the third place play—off match in the nations league, beating swizerland on penalties in portugal. goalkeeperjordan pickford was the star of the show. 0—0 after extra—time it went to a shoot—out and pickford scored one for his country. he then put his gloves back on an
