us. —— it was not a night full sleep. an inquiry report has criticised the london borough of lambeth for allowing the abuse of hundreds of children in its homes for decades. the independent inquiry into child sexual abuse has been investigating allegations dating back as far as the 1970s. it said it was hard to comprehend the cruelty that was inflicted, and officials left children to cope with trauma on their own. lambeth council has apologised to victims. our correspondent, tom symonds, has been looking at the findings. tom, thank you for being with us. this was abuse on staggering scale, not just this was abuse on staggering scale, notjust in terms the amount of time that this was over, but the number of children involved, hundreds. absolutely. the independent enquiry into child sexual abuse, and very wide—ranging public enquiry, has been going for years now and has produced a whole load of reports and this is one of the most scathing. this is one of the biggest past sexual abuse

stay with us for that. strategistjoe tanner. stay with us forthat. now, before that, let's go to the bbc sports centre. good evening. as we've been hearing the news,. england manager gareth southgate has hit out at the racist abuse suffered by some of the england players after last night's defeat to italy, in the european championship final. southgate was speaking to the media this morning — after his side lost on penalties — three black players — marcus rashford, jadon sancho, and bukayo saka were targeted online over missing penalties. he said the players should hold their heads high — and the abuse cannot be tolerated. for some of them to be abused is unforgivable, really. i know a lot of that has come from abroad, people that track those things have been able to explain that. but not all of it. it is just not what we stand for, we, i think, have been a beacon of light in bringing people together and people being able to relate to the national team, and the national teams stands for everybody. the fa will conduct a full review after a larg

sarah, tell us a bit more about what happened to the us gymnast? good morning from tokyo. it was really amazing as all eyes were on the american superstar simone biles. she was going in that team event in the gymnastics. she did vault as the first piece of apparatus she was doing and was unhappy with it. afterwards she left the arena for a while and we were wondering what was going on. she did reappear and did seem to have her armed guards on what suggesting she would take part in the next event but however we send out a statement from the us gymnastics saying she would not compete in the rest of the event. now she has been afterwards since then, saying she needed to protect her mental health and she did not quite feel at the races within her performance and the fall and wanted to protect yourself and i think it's a really interesting discussion point for sports and athletes of the moment because we are so used to hearing about athletes getting their physical injuries but this was something that the mobile said is more prevalent in sport now and that she really wanted to p

stay with us on bbc news. we have lots more to come including — conventional training methods are often impossible, proven over the last year, so we are meeting the athletes preparing for the olympic games any which way they can. after months of talks and missed deadlines, a deal has been struck to keep greece within the eurozone. the immediate prospect of greece going bust in the worst crisis to hit the eurozone has been averted. emergency services across central europe are stepping up their efforts to contain the worst floods this century. nearly 100 people have been killed. broadway is traditionally. called the great white way by americans but tonight. — it's completely blacked out. it's a timely reminder to all americans - of the problems that the energy crisisj has brought to them. leaders meet in paris for a summit on pollution, inflation and third world debt. this morning, theyjoined the revolution celebrations for a show of military might on the champs—elysees. wildlife officials in australia hav

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

we are used to the cold, to be honest with you, and we are not used to these high temperatures. it is a very challenging time for those who are living on the streets, who are homeless, and people are volunteering, giving out water and pizza, and also the city of edmonton has opened recreation centres, libraries, places for people to cool down in air conditioning. and in terms of the fires, we are seeing pictures now ofjust one of them, and the intense smoke that is billowing across large parts of canada, and ijust wonder how bad things are, in terms of those fires, where you are. have you heard anything about that? so, at the moment, everyone is concentrating on british columbia because there are all these active fires that are happening there. different communities are being evacuated. in edmonton, what is happening in is the safety minister has announced there will be a basic set up here so that firefighters can have a place to have a bit of relief, there can be aviation resources available, and if there are more people who have to be evacuated, they would come to edmonton, wh
