i think it's given us way more, like, visibility. there's going to be a world stage and there's going be men and women on it with skateboards. suddenly, everyone started to care more. we can't be ignored now. competition — it's, like, when i win, ifeel great, and when i lose, i don't, you know? and then i say, like, "why am i doing this to myself?" but, you know, i do it all over again because there must be some part of me that really wants that. good luck to her. that is it from me. you can reach me on twitter — i'm @lvaughanjones this is bbc news, bye—bye. hello. after another fairly warm and mostly dry day on friday, things are now changing with the weather. we've got some heavy showers and some thunderstorms moving their way in from the south—west and through the course of the weekend, it's going to turn cooler and fresher with some downpours for some places, particularly towards the south. that's down to the fact that this area of low pressure is pushing its way in, and that's going to generate some really heavy downpour

us air strikes had to be employed last night to support government efforts in herat — that's despite the fact that around 95% of american forces have now been withdrawn from afghanistan. you've got tens of thousands of people who are actively being displaced by this fighting right now, and that's adding to around 300,000 or so who were already displaced even a number of weeks ago. a number of other afghans, many other afghans, are planning, or at least considering what their options are, when it comes to leaving the country. i've been looking at social media groups set up by people smugglers, offering routes out through iran and into turkey. the people smugglers who are operating those groups are really being inundated with requests by people. the passport office here in kabul recently has seen large queues, as well, many people going there trying to renew their documents in order to apply for legal reasons to get to apply for legal visas to get out of afghanistan. the fear that many people have is that at the end of august, when the international military mission in afghanistan form

at the end of this, one of us is going to be really sad. and i want it to be you. it is now a tense countdown for england fans, as they manage the nerves and the hope ahead of kick—off tomorrow night. daniella ralph, bbc news. olly foster has been watching england's final training session at st george's park. it's a momentous occasion. are they ready? they say they are and the first thing that impressed me when we were allowed in for the first 15 minutes down there on the sir bobby charlton pitch, echoes of 1966 all around the place, wasjust pitch, echoes of 1966 all around the place, was just the pitch, echoes of 1966 all around the place, wasjust the happiness, the smiling faces, the laughter even from gareth southgate. but they have been getting down to some very serious business preparing for the italians. but how can they not enjoy this moment? just one more sleep before a major championship final. it has not been perfect because we also noticed very early on that he is very recognisable, that bleached blonde hair we saw, phil foden actually missed this fina

but on the whole, it's a fine day for most of us. and then from thursday onwards, we are expecting that high pressure to build right across the country. the winds will fall light. and given some sunshine, we'll see those temperatures recovering. in fact, we're expecting the mid—20s quite widely across the uk, but it really does depend where the winds going to be blowing from. for example, if it's coming in from the north, the north sea coasts could be a little bit chilly, but further inland, certainly around 25 or so. so here's the outlook, with monday and those showers there, maybe even one or two thunderstorms in the southeast, and then a steady climb in the temperatures as we head towards the weekend. that's it from me. bye—bye. this is bbc news, the headlines: footballs fans across italy are celebrating in the streets after the team won the euro 2020 championship in a hard—fought match against england in london. the game finished 1—1 after extra time but england crumbled during the penalties as their last three penalty ta

director mark archer seems more interested in the characters than the process they are songwriting, using candid interviews with individual bandmembers. they won't be able to repeat any of that. you hear talk of love and loss contrast with footage of them messing about on stage, play fighting and indulging in antics to crude to describe here. white privilege. perhaps it is this very contrast that has attracted such an ardent fan base of women and men. they are called the af gang and they share their feelings and secrets with each other as well as their idles fandom. it felt like i really belonged to something. while it is far from a perfect music doc, this is an entertaining and thought—provoking study of modern manhood in all its excess and fragility. it is in cinemas now. pads for lady boss, the jackie collins story. girls, when they leave for school, should be taught that in life they can do anything for them i really have a strong belief women can do anything. girls can do anything. that was her motto. girls can do anything. women can do anything. as much as she said that that every

i could not stop using the substances that i was using, which i was on... i was an intravenous drug user, on heroin and crack. i couldn't stop. my addiction was escalating, which had a really bad impact on my mental health. she'd ended up — in her words — committing more and more crimes. when i went to prison, i was relieved. i thought, "oh, my god, thank god! i've been given the opportunity to be removed from my life and possibly have this period of time where i'm away from that," and i had every determination to get my life back together. she'd hoped for support and treatment. their solution to my mental health was to put me on really quite huge anti—psychotic medication that would, you know, knock out an elephant. this stuff is, like, seriously strong, and i'm sure that it was to keep me calm, and i... that wasn't a solution. and she called for far greater support for women in prison, saying many were "victims". when i'm treated like i am worthy and i'm not dictated by this stigma and stereotype and ball—and—chain of my past, actually, i have a

it told us... wallbox, based in spain, didn't reply to us, but they did tell ken's team that they had fixed the online problems. time to see if the units are safe. retesting took place this week and suggests most of the problems in both chargers have been fixed, but ken says owners still need to take action. check for updates, solve the problem. the wallbox charger uses hardware that isn't secure enough. there's really nothing you can do to make it completely secure. so unless wallbox have found a way of fixing that, which would be beyond me, i'd suggest perhaps supergluing the box cover in so hackers can't take the top off. and what of the approval they had to be sold in the uk by the department of transport and the government grants handed out to help sell them? the department did not comment on the security issues we raised, but said... it's worth noting that all smart home chargers will still be usable if you just want to plug your car in. but when it comes to security when using them with a ph

we do advise you to wear your masks... 0ur visitors are telling us they want us to be cautious. they want to remain careful and they want us to look after them. so for us, it's notjust freedom day, it's... well, we don't like that phrase, it's still being very considerate and careful of the health of the people who work here and our visitors. 0n the main tourist route close to york station, for the second half ofjuly it is not busy. domestic tourists are not making up for missing the international ones, mainly from the us and china. hello. morning. new cafes continue to focus on takeaway business. we are here at last, we are open. bring on the tourists, bring on the crowds. so we're still waiting for the crowds to to come back, to be honest? very much so, yeah. you can tell the tourists have not arrived yet. the international tourists, that is. better news around the corner, the reopening has helped this newly refurbished hotel to get fully booked out by domestic tourists. if not now, when? but now the issue is about much—needed staff being told to isolate by the covid app. th

however, it does restore yet more freedom to all of us. indeed, it is worth emphasising that we are no longer in lockdown — nothing like it. life is much more normal than at any time since the start of this pandemic. but the gradual approach we are taking means that sensible precautions will remain in place to limit transmission while we make even more progress on vaccination. we have to make progress back to normality. the public have done what was expected of them, now it's time for this snp government to deliver and hold up their end of the bargain. so it's welcome that scotland will move to level zero next week with some minor modifications and that self—isolation rules for people travelling will be relaxed. labour said the scottish government should listen to the world health organization and speed up the administration of the second dose of the vaccine. many countries across the world are administering the second dose of the vaccine after four weeks. and we know from the data that the significant protection you get to the delta v

then into the weekend, low pressure takes over, it becomes more unsettled for all of us. and you can see it moving here from the southwest. could bring a spell of more prolonged rain across england and wales on saturday. further north could see some heavy, slow moving showers. into sunday, it looks like the whole of the uk will see a mixture of sunny spells and heavy, perhaps thundery showers. so temperature—wise, because there will be more cloud around and showers, not quite as warm as how we've ended the week — temperatures ranging from high teens to the low 20s. the minister defended the government's position. welcome to bbc news. our top stories: three years after he was sent to prison for sexual assault the american entertainer bill cosby has his conviction overturned. the era of china being bullied is over. the chinese president makes an impassioned speech as they celebrate their centenary. dozens of canadians die in north america's heatwave. president biden says the climate threat is now critical. and we look at the legacy of former us defense secretary donald

his hollywood feature debut, the forever purge begins withjuan and adela crossing the border into the us, starting new lives in texas away from murderous drug cartels. on the eve of the fascistic new founding fathers�* annual purge, the couple take refuge in a migrant shelter, knowing that they'll be targets for attack. but even after the 12—hour curfew, the killing continues, led by white supremacists worshiping guns, sedition and segregation. you don't have to be a political scientist to appreciate that there's a thin line between the satirical horrors of the forever purge and real—life news reports of the recent violent assault on the american capitol by a group that included neo—nazis. as with all effective dystopian fiction, the future is now. the message may not be subtle, but the film is an effectively blunt tool — a mainstream exploitation vehicle designed to entertain while ensuring that no one leaves the theatre without realising what it was all about. plaudits are due to ana de la reguera, who played a key role in zack snyder's zombie romp, army of the dead, and who

talk us through the process. we have a team around the world that collects plastics from waterways, rivers, the ocean, and we send the plastic bottles out to certified partners, where they transform this waste into pellets. the pellets will then be made into materials we can make the clothes from. do you think you will impact others in the fashion industry, because the fashion industry is a big polluter, isn't it? tt a big polluter, isn't it? it is, a big polluter, isn't it? tit is, because plastic is almost everywhere. whatever you are wearing, plastic is everywhere, and unfortunately it will be everywhere for a long time. shall everywhere for a long time. all riuht. everywhere for a long time. all right. sorry to interrupt you, but we are out of time. this is unfortunate, but thank you for joining us, and thank you to your company. have a good day, see you soon. we're still in the middle of this heatwave, or actually just past it. some thunderstorms on the way too in the coming days, which should break the heat

my mum used to cook food, and he used to complain that we smelled of onions. but we left the area, he would eat curry every day, he'd come and knock on my mum's door. we couldn't get a job anywhere, them days, you know, so we created our own industry. we created our own product that we could sell to make a living out of it. that's how i see it. today, we're at altab ali park, which is a park in memory of altab ali, who was a bangladeshi man murdered by three racist individuals back in 1978. the british bangladeshi community ended up protesting in thousands. it's through the sacrifices and perseverance of the older generation that we can...not live perfect lives, but live a much more comfortable life. altab ali park is in the east london constituency of bethnal green and bow, an area represented by mp rushanara ali. she was the first ever british bangladeshi mp elected to the uk parliament. when political leaders amplify tensions, when they fail to show courage and leadership and stand up in the face of division and hatred, then we send the wrong message. you m

that's allowing us to go ahead. keir starmer said a high infection rate could mean millions of people being "pinged" to self—isolate. the financial times estimates this morning that that could be around 2 million people per week. the mail says 3.5 million people a week. eitherway, it's a massive number. it means huge disruption to families and businesses just as the summer holidays begin. borisjohnson said the government would be moving away from self—isolation towards testing and he accused keir starmer of "trying to have it both ways". on monday, he seems to say he was in favour of opening up onjuly the 19th. now he is saying it's reckless. which is it, mr speaker? maybe i can help a little. just to remind us that it's . prime minister's questions. if we want opposition . questions, we will need to change who's standing up. a labour mp reminded the prime minister of the human cost of the pandemic. my grandmother, whom i love dearly, was lying on her hospital deathbed, and none of us were allowed to be there to

yes, it is very different from what all of us had imagined, but let us cherish this moment. finally we are all here together. in a ceremony that lasted almost four hours, the olympic flag arrived and was raised. the traditional anthem of the games, the backdrop, before the pictograms that represent each sport were given a unique and mesmerising twist. after a torch relay that has already spent much of its journey away from the public, the flame arrived. the final torchbearer — japanese tennis star naomi osaka, given the honour of climbing the steps of the symbolic mount fuji stage to light the cauldron. fuelled by hydrogen for the first time, in a bid to hold a more environmentally friendly olympics. if this didn't help get the hosts behind the event, nothing would. at long last, and despite such controversy, the games have begun. dan roan, bbc news, tokyo. public opinion injapan has been firmly against the olympics going ahead because of covid. under 25% of the population are fully vaccinated and cases are rising sharply, with more than 3000 a day now. many japanese are f

most of us mid to high 20s. friday still a very warm day, would not necessarily class it as a very hot day but warm enough, temperatures into the mid or high 20s to my notice and blue, some rain here and thunderstorms brewing just to the southwest of us. and this is an area of low pressure which will drag in fresh or atlantic air and push which will drag in fresh or atlantic airand push the which will drag in fresh or atlantic air and push the hot air towards more eastern parts of europe. this can be very slow moving thunderstorms and they can bring an awful lot of rainfall in a short space of time and that's to come this weekend, saturday and sunday especially across the southern half of the uk. something to bear in mind.

land, we have the suicide squad, the latest addition to the dc extended universe which previously gave us the dismal suicide squad, to which this stand—alone sequel — whatever that means — adds an all—important definite article. it's all about the "the". margo robbie's harley quinn is back, alongside the likes of idris elba's bloodsport and john cena's peacemaker, all part of a ragtag team sent in by tough—as—nails viola davis to do battle with project starfish, a project that does exactly what it says on the tin. really. uh-huh. written and directed byjames gunn, the suicide squad is notable primarily for the fact that sylvester stallone voicing a talking shark doesn't even come close to being the most bonkers thing on screen. hand! yes, that is your hand. very good. we're all going to die. i hope so. well, this is a world in which a giant weasel is just another passenger on the plane and polka—dot man, a character who shoots polka—dots and whom gunn himself called the dumbest dc character of all time, gets ample tragicomic screen time. the result is a huge splurge of pos

the recent report doesn't require us to accept the reality of alien visitation, but it does require us to take ufos seriously. but first, the political fallout from matt hancock's resignation as health secretary. he left the government 2a hours after downing street said the prime minister had accepted his apology for breaking social distancing guidelines and considered the matter closed. as you may have heard, cctv cameras captured matt hancock kissing his adviser in his private ministerial office. now, don't worry — we're not going to show the video, but his resignation offered open goalfor the labour leader, sir keir starmer. why didn't the prime minister sack the former health secretary on friday morning? mrspeaker, we had... i read the story in common with you and everybody else on friday. we had a new health secretary in place by saturday. keir starmer said it mattered because millions of people had followed the rules matt hancock had drawn up. on may the 5th, the day before that video was filmed, ollie bibby, a 27—year—old man from essex, died of leukaemia. he'd spent seven

translation: then they put us on the bus and took us - to a military port, then put us in boats. it was around 8pm. there were police wearing dark blue and commandos covering their faces with masks. i could only see the eyes. they were armed with weapons. then we arrived as a location at around quarter past midnight. they put us all in one boat. after that, we realised we were in regional turkish waters. najma says they were then transferred to dinghies with no engines and allowed to drift before being eventually picked up by the turkish coast guard. since these scenes six years ago, sentiment has hardened against migrants in europe. and the eu is accused of turning a blind eye to abuses because greece is keeping migrants out. some boats from the eu's own border agency are even accused of helping with pushbacks. but now a top eu official has told the bbc pushbacks defy its core values and must stop. i think these are violations of our fundamental european values. and when we are protecting our borders, we are protecting our values. and that's why we can't see violations of fundam

and then, tomorrow, a pretty cloudy day for many of us — in the morning at least, to start with. then the sunny spells develop, but also the showers, and some of them will be heavy. you can see here in the east of the country and the north, some thunderstorms there, too. showers also breaking out across the south. the best of the weather, i suspect, in the north—west of the country, parts of northern ireland, south—western and western scotland and also cornwall, devon and southern wales shouldn't do too bad on saturday. here's a look at sunday's weather map. the weather still coming in from the north. we have a weather front crossing the country. that is expected to bring showers to more southern areas of the uk on sunday. they should be more confined towards the very far south towards the end of the day. that's how the day starts, so a little on the chilly side in some areas. those northerly winds, feels quite nippy along the north sea coast, could even be around 14—15 degrees during the daytime. best spots, i think, in southern wales, maybe northern ireland again, but i t

people rushed to us. to tell us their stories. it�*s nearly impossible to count how many they�*ve lost. she said six of her family were killed a few weeks ago. including her husband and four sons. we couldn�*t even identify their remains, she told us. the caliban had entered our home and was shooting at government forces. then a government plane dropped a bomb on our house. war is devastating people across the country as the taliban gained more territory every day in foreign forces leave. her husband and three children were killed when and three children were killed when a mortar hit their home. i am numb with grief, every day i cry thinking of them, she told us. i am alone, i have nothing. she is malnourished, she said. her other son barely speaks. he has shrapnel injuries and struggles to walk. they are among hundreds here who have had to run for their lives more than once. we went where they fled from, we saw signs of battle and evidence that a part of the city is no longer under the control of the soldiers. this is a pos

and it's actually quite simple to use. first you point your phone at something — like my cat, here, neo. you press search, and then the app asks google assistant what the object is. it tells me he's a black cat, and, funnily enough, being a black cat, he might actually be good luck. i didn't know that. the lens app in can translate text, tell you where to buy a shirt, and even cheat on your homework. the app's computer vision is pretty accurate. and lens is impressing in other unique ways — what i'll do to test this out is take a picture of this view in front of me, zoom in a little bit, get past the trees, and there we go, the london skyline. and a lot is going on, here. what lens is doing is that it's tapping into google earth's representation of the planet, pinpointing my location, matching the angle, and identifying the skyline from where i am. our mission is like, how do you get closer to how to people naturally think about asking questions, so that we can answer them as, you know, as seamlessly as possible, witho

at the peak of us involvement over 100,000 us and nato troops passed through it. by friday — the troops were gone. according to afghan officials they left in the middle of the night — deserting this huge compound and passing control of security to afghan forces. that was on friday, then on tuesday, the us said 90% of troops were gone. so the afghan military is now in sole charge of security across the country. the task is enormous and the taliban is gaining ground at rapid pace. injust over 2 months the taliban has taken at least 150 out of a21 districts across afghanistan. and they're moving from rural areas into major cities. yesterday the taliban launched its most brazen attack since the us stepped up its withdrawal of troops — entering a key city in the northwest and taking government buildings. the assault continued today. 3s this was inside qala—e—naw city in badghis state today. thousands are reportedly fleeing their homes. and these are afghan troops inside the city. afghan's special forces say they have so far fended off the attack — however t
