COMMENTATOR: He's done it! A massive win for Sam Querrey. Massive shock

for Wimbledon. And Novak Djokovic, defending

champion, is out in one of the greatest upsets

in the tournament's history. The comic actress and writer,

Caroline Aherne, has died The star was best known for her chat

show host character Mrs Merton and for creating the TV

Sitcom The Royle Family. She'd faced several forms of cancer

dating back to her childhood - two years ago she announced

she was being treated Many tributes have been paid

to her tonight with colleagues and fellow comedians

describing her as a comic genius. Our correspondent David Sillito

takes a look back at her life. Ladies and gentlemen,

please welcome Debbie McGee. But what first, Debbie,

attracted you to the Mrs Merton's wig and glasses gave

Caroline Aherne the chance to ask the questions no-one else

would have dared to ask. Caroline Aherne had

a sharp comic brain. I once saw David Copperfield,

and he made the Statue of Liberty disappear,

and I've seen your Paul do the same And 20 years on, the success

of Gogglebox owed much BBC Two showed us some penguins

having a rough time in Patagonia. She'd started out performing

on the Manchester comedy circuits. If on Earth, you are ugly,

in Heaven, you will be beautiful, so it's great news for that girl

there in the front. Her character comedy

was perfect for The Fast Show. She won awards, but behind it

all were many troubles. She struggled with fame and had

a lifelong battle with cancer. My brother and I were born

with cancer of the eyes, the retina. And my mum told us only

special people get cancer. I must be very special,

because I've had it in my lungs How many times have you seen

me ringing anyone? Her masterpeiece, though,

was The Royle Family. That's all I wanted,

was it to be like Nigella's. Affectionate, funny

and often moving. Sue Johnston, who played her mum,

said she was devastated, She asked me to

promise her that her Caroline Aherne may

have had her struggles, The actress and writer

Caroline Aherne, who's The so-called Islamic State group

says it deliberately targeted foreigners in an attack on a cafe

in the Bangladeshi capital, 20 people were killed,

from countries including Six attackers also died -

one was arrested. The moment when Bangladeshi special

forces began storming the cafe. After a stand-off that lasted 12

hours they moved onto the roof of the building and then inside. As

shown in these pictures taken from a nearby apartment. Hello. GUNFIRE

This Japanese journalist was able to contact someone at the scene. Can

you hear the gunshots? Can you hear me? But it was clear something

terrifying was taking place. Some of the hostages were eventually rescued

but many others were not so lucky. Foreigners were isolated and then

singled out. TRANSLATION: During the operation we saved the lives of 13

people including one Japanese and two Sri Lankan citizens. Six of the

attackers were killed and one was arrested. After the operation when

we searched the building we found 20 dead, most killed mercilessly with

sharp weapons. The holy Artisan cafe and bakery is popular amongst

wealthy Bangladeshis and expats, many of them were dining last night

when the gunman stormed in. These policemen have taken up position

right across the street from where the attack took place. They've

cordoned it off, they are not letting anyone through, except for

people who live here. There is an air of tension. Apart from anything

else, there is a sense of utter disbelief at the nature of the

attack and the brutality of it. TRANSLATION: The way they have

carried out the killings cannot be tolerated. It shows signs of extreme

hatred, anger and killing sprees flowing through them. How can a

normal human being attack another in such a way? And that also in this

holy month of Ramadan? There has been a wave of recent killings in

Bangladesh blamed on local Islamists, but nothing quite on this

scale. Tonight this Muslim majority nation is trying to make sense of

what just happened. Sanjoy Majumder, BBC News,

Dhaka. Hillary Clinton, the frontrunner

to be the Democrats' candidate in the American presidential

election, has been interviewed by the FBI about her use

of a private email server Laura Bicker's in Washington -

give us the background - Laura what did Mrs Clinton do -

and why are the FBI interested? Hillary Clinton, 20 was Secretary of

State, used two e-mail accounts. One was a private home e-mail account.

It was unprotected. Critics say she may have put hundreds of classified

documents at risk. The FBI here at their headquarters are

investigating. This morning Hillary Clinton along with some -- went

voluntarily to be questioned. She's always said she's done nothing

wrong. Legally it is possible charges could be brought but experts

say it is unlikely. What the Clinton campaign will be looking out for is

they'll be looking for the political fallout of this questioning. What

they'll be looking for is the fact Hillary Clinton has put herself

forward as a safe, experienced pair of hands against a more outlandish,

controversial candidate in Donald Trump. Being questioned by the FBI

for three and a half hours does not help her case. Certainly in just a

few weeks she will be officially nominated as the Democratic

presidential nominee. She'll stand on that stage, might even be able to

put this behind her personally. But politically her opponents will make

the most of it every chance they get.

The streets of the capital thick with protesters,

good-natured but passionate and desperate to be heard.

Hands up everyone who wants to remain!

They had responded to a single invitation on social

It was a very slim majority, it potentially will give us serious

financial harm in the future, it could lead to the break-up

of the United Kingdom and it could rob so many opportunities

From Hyde Park, families, the young, those fearful

of the impact of Brexit, marched to Parliament Square.

They questioned the very validity of a referendum whose

What would you say to the 17 million who voted that Britain

A lot of people voted because they thought 350 million

Here at the heart of the rally, everyone is united about one thing -

that Britain has made the wrong decision to leave

But ask them what they want done next and there is a

corner, these men, one who voted Brexit, one who voted for Maine,

share a dim view of the protest. Meaney I don't respect people who

want to delete the vote because the vote is democratic. It's done now,

that's it, we're finished, you get this in London but you won't get it

up north, on the east coast in Barnsley, in Leeds, you won't get it

in Newcastle or Sunderland. Police have yet to confirm final numbers

but this is the biggest protest against the referendum outcome to

date. We'll have the football for you

shortly but first, a seismic shock at Wimbledon. Katherine Downes has

more. Wimbledon's been a-buzz this evening

after the greatest shock of the Championships so far -

the world number one and defending He was beaten in a rain-affected 4

sets that were strung out over 2 days - by the 28th seed,

Sam Querry from America. Defending champion, world

number one, and holder of all four grand slam titles,

knocked out of Wimbledon before Sam Querrey has always been

dangerous on grass, but beating It's incredible, especially to do it

here at Wimbledon, you know, the biggest tournament in the world,

and I'm just so ecstatic Congratulations to Sam,

he played a terrific match, he served very well,

as he usually does, I think that Djokovic trailed by

two sets overnight. He pulled one back, but the weather

turned, and so, too, the match. Djokovic's dreams of a calendar

grand slam crushed. We didn't see the best

of Novak Djokovic, either when he went down two sets and had

to sleep on that or when he came I know he won set number three

but he just didn't look himself. So with Djokovic out,

could Andy Murray take advantage? The world number two was up

against the little-known Australian John Millman

on centre court. He moved into the last 16

without cause for concern. Murray is now the highest seed left

in the draw with hopes raised Germany are through to

the semi-finals of the Euro 2016 in France, after beating Italy 6-5

on penalties. Germany went ahead first

with this from Mesut Ozil. But they didn't have

the lead for long. Italy struck back with a penalty

in the 78th minute, this by Leonardo Bonucci,

to equalise the game. The game was eventually

decided on penalties, with Yonas Hector scoring the winner

to secure the victory for Germany. Welsh football fans have been

celebrating their extraordinary win It means they'll now meet Portugal

in the semi finals of Euro 20-16. It's the first time they've been

in the last four of a major From Lille, Hywel Griffith

sent this report. Savouring every second

of their time in the sun, generations of Welsh fans will grow

up hearing about last night's For supporters who spent

decades facing failure, sometimes success can be

hard to take. The heart, the passion,

absolutely everything mixing In my wildest dreams I didn't think

we'd ever get to the quarterfinals, I was crying, I have to say,

very emotional night. Against the odds, Wales beat

a Belgian team ranked Many of these players have known

each other since boyhood. Now they've grown into a team that

even with a star like Gareth Bale has become far greater than the sum

of its parts. We can resist pressure when it's

on us, you get waves of attack, That's what you got to do,

good teams do that. Back home, the pride

is immeasurable. As is the optimism that

Wales could maybe go I thought they were not

going to go to the semifinals, If Leicester City can

the Premier League, Wales The way they played last night,

you know, they would have beaten any The next step is a journey to Lyon

where they will take on Portugal. Wales will arrive with two

of their players suspended But all those worries can

wait until next week. Now is the time to relish

success and dream that even Joe Root guided England to a 3-0

series win over Sri Lanka He hit 93 as England reached 324-7,

before eventually going on to complete a 122-run

victory in Cardiff. Lewis Hamilton will be on pole

for tomorrow's Austrian Grand Prix. The world champion beat Mercedes

team-mate Nico Rosberg by just over half a second during a rain-hit

qualifying session. A five-place grid penalty means

Rosberg will start seventh, with Niko Hulkenberg

and Jensen Button behind That is all the sport from

Wimbledon. Back to you, Kate. You can see more on all of today's

stories on the BBC News Channel. Good evening, lots of showers across

the country this Saturday but there was some sunshine, too. Most of the

showers tended to fade away. For many it's been a fine
