Hi, I'm Hayley with your Newsround update. Coming up:

0:00:110:00:13

England head home from the World Cup

0:00:130:00:14

after a goalless draw against Costa Rica.

0:00:140:00:16

The rare birds that could be making a comeback.

0:00:160:00:18

And the boy sneaking a cheeky selfie with the Queen.

0:00:180:00:23

The first American troops have arrived in Iraq to help the

0:00:250:00:28

country's army in the fight against Sunni Islamist militants, ISIS.

0:00:280:00:33

Nearly half of the 300 special operations soldiers promised by

0:00:330:00:36

President Obama are in the capital, Baghdad, or on the front lines, with

0:00:360:00:39

the rest expected within days. The American government says they are

0:00:390:00:42

not there to get directly involved with the fighting but will offer

0:00:420:00:45

advice and are setting up a joint command centre in Baghdad.

0:00:450:00:51

A massive court case into whether staff at the News of the World paper

0:00:510:00:55

were guilty of phone hacking which started in 2011 ended yesterday with

0:00:550:01:00

the paper's old editor Andy Coulson being found guilty. Here's Jenny.

0:01:000:01:04

It all started at the News of the World. Reporters at the newspaper

0:01:050:01:09

were accused of listening in to people's phone messages to get

0:01:090:01:13

exclusive stories. They targeted celebrities, the Royal family, and

0:01:130:01:16

even ordinary people, including the parents of missing schoolgirl, Milly

0:01:160:01:19

Dowler, who were desperately trying to find their daughter. Hacking

0:01:190:01:23

forums is against the law and after several accusations were made, the

0:01:230:01:26

paper was shut down. Bosses and reporters from the News of the World

0:01:260:01:32

were then put on trial to find out who knew what was going on.

0:01:320:01:36

Yesterday, Andy Coulson, who was the editor of the newspaper when some of

0:01:360:01:39

the hacking took place, was found guilty of conspiring to hack phones.

0:01:390:01:45

Mr Coulson also used to work as the press spokesman for the Prime

0:01:450:01:50

Minister, David Cameron. He was criticised for hiring him at the

0:01:500:01:53

time and yesterday apologised.

0:01:530:01:56

I was always clear that I was giving someone a second chance. He had

0:01:560:02:00

resigned from the News of the World because of what happened there, the

0:02:000:02:04

bad things that had happened there. I accepted his assurances,

0:02:040:02:06

I gave him a job. It was a second chance. It turns out to be a bad

0:02:060:02:10

decision and I am extremely sorry about that.

0:02:100:02:13

Andy Coulson's boss at the company that the newspaper, Rebekah Brooks,

0:02:130:02:18

was also on trial. But she was cleared of all the charges on

0:02:180:02:21

Tuesday, along with four other people, after the paper was closed

0:02:210:02:24

down. The government launched a big enquiry to decide whether newspapers

0:02:240:02:27

needed new rules and should be monitored more closely. Some

0:02:270:02:29

newspapers said that was too much interference. But celebrities

0:02:290:02:31

affected say more needs to be done to make sure

0:02:310:02:33

nothing like this ever happens again.

0:02:330:02:42

FIFA, the company in charge of world football, is investigating Luis

0:02:450:02:47

Suarez after he was accused of biting an Italian player during a

0:02:470:02:52

World Cup game yesterday. This is the moment Suarez clashed with

0:02:520:02:56

Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini. The referee didn't take any action

0:02:560:03:01

at the time. Suarez has been banned twice before for biting, while

0:03:010:03:04

playing for Ajax and his current club Liverpool, and if the

0:03:040:03:07

accusations are true, he could be banned for two years.

0:03:070:03:10

England's World Cup journey ended last night with a draw against Costa

0:03:100:03:13

Rica. Manager Roy Hodgson had mixed things up, making nine changes to

0:03:130:03:16

his squad, but it wasn't enough to win - there wasn't a single goal,

0:03:160:03:19

and England ducked out of the World Cup with a 0-0 draw.

0:03:190:03:27

It's day three of Wimbledon and BBC tennis correspondent Russell Fuller

0:03:270:03:30

has been busy doing his homework - we've put together his top tips for

0:03:300:03:33

who he thinks might win the competition this year.

0:03:330:03:35

Hello, Newsround. I'm Russell Fuller, BBC tennis correspondent.

0:03:350:03:37

Here is who I think might just win Wimbledon this year...

0:03:370:03:42

Why shouldn't Andy Murray win the men's singles title again? He will

0:03:460:03:49

never be under as much pressure as he was 12 months ago, becoming the

0:03:490:03:53

first British man to win the singles at Wimbledon for 77 years. And there

0:03:530:03:56

have been signs of the last few weeks, after his back surgery in

0:03:560:03:59

September, that he is starting to return to his best form.

0:03:590:04:04

Rafa Nadal is the other man I tip to go well at Wimbledon. Last year, in

0:04:050:04:09

one of the biggest upset in modern tennis history, he lost in the very

0:04:090:04:12

first round to a Belgian player called Steve Darcis. Nadal struggles

0:04:120:04:15

with his knees. And a lower bouncing ball on the grass means that those

0:04:150:04:18

knees are put under great strain. If he can conquer that,

0:04:180:04:21

he's a champion never to be underestimated.

0:04:210:04:26

Serena Williams has to start as the favourite for the women's singles,

0:04:310:04:35

or the ladies' singles, as they like to call it at Wimbledon. She has

0:04:350:04:38

been the finest female player of the 21st-century, but has not want

0:04:380:04:41

either of the two big events, the grandslam events in Australia and

0:04:410:04:44

France, so far this year. So just maybe, it is her turn.

0:04:440:04:51

If you are looking for one of the younger players to come through,

0:04:510:04:54

then the best of the bunch is Eugenie Bouchard. She's just 20,

0:04:540:04:57

she's from Canada, and she has reached the semifinals of both the

0:04:570:05:00

Australian Open and French Open this year. And worryingly, for the rest

0:05:000:05:03

of the field, she says grass is her favourite surface.

0:05:030:05:08

And to find out all about Wimbledon, including how the scoring works,

0:05:090:05:11

head over to the Newsround website for our guide to the tournament.

0:05:110:05:16

One of the world's rarest birds could be rearing its head again as a

0:05:180:05:22

hand-reared spoon-billed sandpiper has survived travelling five

0:05:220:05:24

thousand miles from Russia to Asia and back. It's thought there are

0:05:240:05:27

less than 100 left in the wild. Experts had to wait two years to see

0:05:270:05:31

if she would make it back from her travels and it's hoped that they

0:05:310:05:34

will start breeding soon.

0:05:340:05:40

The Queen's face is on money, stamps, and plenty of royal

0:05:400:05:43

portraits - but it's not every day she features in a selfie. Her

0:05:430:05:46

Majesty was on a tour of a market in Belfast, Northern Ireland, when an

0:05:460:05:49

enthusiastic boy leant in to take a royal selfie.

0:05:490:05:51

Smartphone? More like smart-throne!

0:05:510:05:56

That's all from me, Newsround's back at 4:20pm. Bye!
