David Cameron faces MPs for the first time | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
saying the country should come together. | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
He tells Parliament that breaking away from the EU | :00:11. | :00:12. | |
will be challenging - and offers a vision of the future | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
As we proceed with implementing this decision, and facing the challenges | :00:16. | :00:21. | |
that it will undoubtedly bring, I believe that we should hold fast | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
to a vision of Britain that wants to be respected abroad, | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
tolerant at home, engaged in the world. | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
The pound plummets in a day of financial volatility - | :00:34. | :00:35. | |
and that's despite the Chancellor's reassurances. | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
It will not be plain sailing in the days ahead, | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
but let me be clear - you should not | :00:43. | :00:44. | |
Now more than 30 top Labour MPs say Jeremy Corbyn is not up | :00:45. | :00:52. | |
to leading the party - but he says this is not | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
Our country is divided, and the country will thank neither | :00:55. | :01:01. | |
the benches in front of me, nor those behind, for indulging | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
in internal factioning manoeuvring at this time. | :01:06. | :01:11. | |
Fears of a rise in hate crimes since the Leave campaign | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
won the referendum - we tell one Polish family's story. | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
Can the team do the same against Iceland? | :01:21. | :01:28. | |
And coming up in the sport on BBC News: | :01:29. | :01:30. | |
We'll have the latest from Wimbledon, as Novak Djokovic | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six. | :01:34. | :02:01. | |
Speaking to MPs for the first time since the EU referendum | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
David Cameron has sought to end any argument over its validity. | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
He told a packed House of Commons that there could be no | :02:10. | :02:11. | |
He said a new government unit had already been set up to co-ordinate | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
the complex process of establishing Britain's position before talks | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
Our political editor, Laura Kuenssberg, reports, | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
as Parliament begins to discuss the next step in Britain's | :02:26. | :02:27. | |
In a Mac any regrets? Regrets. Might he have a few, after a referendum he | :02:28. | :02:48. | |
never thought he'd lose, and on the way to give a statement he never | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
thought he'd have to make. David Cameron will not make many more | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
journeys like this in the prime ministerial jaguars. Statement, the | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
Prime Minister. One of his last statements coincided with the first | :03:02. | :03:10. | |
of a Labour MP, and with a party in turmoil, he couldn't resist a gag. | :03:11. | :03:17. | |
Let me welcome the member for tooting to her place. I'd advise her | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
to keep her mobile phone on. She might be in the Shadow Cabinet by | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
the end of the day! And I thought I was having a bad day! But what has | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
happened really isn't a laughing matter. The British people have | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
voted to leave the European Union. It wasn't the result I wanted, nor | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
the outcome I thought was best for the country I love. There can be no | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
doubt about the result. I don't take back what I said about the risks. It | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
is going to be difficult, but I am clear that the decision must be | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
accepted and the process of implementing the decision in the | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
best possible way must now begin. At formal talks will only start once | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
he's been replaced. He condemned an apparent rise in racist abuse since | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
the result, and urged the company -- the country to come together after | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
this bitter campaign. We should hold fast to do a vision of Britain that | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
wants to be tolerant at home, engaged in the world and working | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
with our international partners to advance the security and prosperity | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
of our nation for years to come. I will continue to fight for these | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
things. I commend this statement to the house. But the Labour leader, | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
under huge pressure himself, can them to the campaign. It is the | :04:33. | :04:41. | |
issue of trust and the tenor in the referendum campaign was | :04:42. | :04:42. | |
disheartening. Half-truths and untruths were an -- were told. Many | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
key leaves figures spent the weekend is tensing themselves from these. | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
And with Scotland having chosen to stay in, the SNP warned they will | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
not put up with the result. We will stay a European country. If that | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
means we have to have an independence referendum to protect | :05:04. | :05:10. | |
Scotland's bites, then so be it. Boris Johnson didn't show. There was | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
some parading of the victory, but concern to. Voters of the United | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
Kingdom have demonstrated the value of that great principle, the | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
principle of democracy for which people fought and died. He is | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
leaving a dangerous political vacuum. Can I urge him to look at | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
much broader arrangements to build a wider consensus? The referendum has | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
changed everything for the Tories. Once the air apparent, but George | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
Osborne almost seem to find it hard to meet the Ibis morning. I fully | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
accept the result of the referendum and will do everything I can to make | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
it work for Britain. There have been questions about the future of the | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
Conservative Party and I will address my role in that in the | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
coming days. That wasn't much of a guide to coming next, because it | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
will be the next Prime Minister's priorities that will set the terms. | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
The Tories must now decide who will make it to number ten. Could this | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
relatively new face, Stephen Crabb, be the one? This isn't just about | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
party unity, it is about national unity. So the race to Downing Street | :06:24. | :06:30. | |
is on. The Home Secretary is almost just as certain to want this to be | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
her new home. One of those who persuaded you to choose out will not | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
run. He will back him instead. Boris Johnson, right now the favourite. | :06:41. | :06:47. | |
But there was a long way to go. Project we are not quite sure what | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
next is under way. The future Tory leader, the next Prime Minister, | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
will move in here by September the 2nd. Who that will be is a strangely | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
not the biggest question that we face. | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
First thing this morning, George Osborne broke his three-day | :07:03. | :07:04. | |
silence to try to reassure the markets - saying the UK economy | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
was strong enough to face the challenges ahead. | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
But that didn't stop a day of volatility. | :07:11. | :07:12. | |
The pound plummeted to a 31-year low against the dollar. | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
Banking, airline and property shares were all hit. | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
But the former Bank of England Governor, | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
Mervyn King, urged calm, telling the BBC that people | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
shouldn't be "particularly worried" by markets moving up and down. | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
Here's our Economics Editor, Kamal Ahmed. | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
The Chancellor emerged after three days of silence to insist it wasn't | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
a told you so moment. Good morning, everyone. It was a time for | :07:42. | :07:48. | |
reassurance. George Osborne said the UK economy was strong, and with the | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
pound falling and share prices tumbling, the government was ready | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
to do what ever it takes to stabilise the markets. It will not | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
be plain sailing in the days ahead, but let me be clear - you should not | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
underestimate our resolve. We were prepared for the unexpected, and we | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
are equipped for what ever happens. But surely this was the man who was | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
predicting economic chaos, who said two weeks ago Britain would need an | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
emergency budget. Those plans have now been shelved. Can you tell us a | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
bit about your position? Did you consider resigning? If not, why not? | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
I have an important job to do, which is, as Chancellor, to speak to | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
international investors, to speak to my counterparts, to do what I can to | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
stabilise the British economy. That is what people would expect of their | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
Chancellor, and that is what I am 100% focused on. It has been another | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
day of turmoil, as fears of Brexit seized the markets. The pound sank | :08:54. | :09:01. | |
by 3.4%, to $1.32, its lowest for 30 years. That is good for Expo is, bad | :09:02. | :09:08. | |
for holiday makers and inflation. -- good for exports. The FT-SE index of | :09:09. | :09:14. | |
major companies in Britain fell by 7%, as investors worried about | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
uncertainty. And look at the value of those angling stocks. RBS, which | :09:18. | :09:25. | |
we own a chunk of, down 15%. Barclays, down 18%. These share | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
prices are seen as a bellwether of the state of the economy. When you | :09:31. | :09:36. | |
have a move like last Friday after the Brexit, this thing is not going | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
away any time soon. With all the uncertainty around, these things | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
could be volatile, more to the downside it feels at the moment, but | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
we are probably going to see some positive days in there as well. A | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
view shared, in part, by this man, Mervyn King, former governor of the | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
Bank of England. He accused the government of peddling fear, saying | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
warnings of gloom had been overdone. Markets move up and down. We don't | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
know yet where they will find their level. The whole aspect of quality | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
that he is a trial and error process. We need a bit of calm now. | :10:14. | :10:23. | |
There is no need for us to panic. Investors are watching the | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
Chancellor closely, looking for signs that someone, somewhere, has a | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
plan. Tonight, one of the major credit rating agency downgraded the | :10:32. | :10:38. | |
UK economy. Tomorrow, businesses are set to express their concerns. | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
Tensions in the market are not going anywhere soon. | :10:42. | :10:43. | |
Volatility in the financial markets was matched by another day | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
of political upheaval in the Labour Party. | :10:47. | :10:47. | |
The embattled leader, Jeremy Corbyn, faced more | :10:48. | :10:49. | |
front bench resignations - he's now lost 34 members | :10:50. | :10:51. | |
of his senior team over the last 24 hours. | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
Even his deputy has told him he'd lost the confidence | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
But Mr Corbyn insists he's not going anywhere - | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
as our Deputy Political Editor, John Pienaar, reports. | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
The pressure's impossible, surely, and it's getting worse. | :11:06. | :11:15. | |
He is at war with his own MPs, and it's a war he means to win. | :11:16. | :11:22. | |
More Shadow Cabinet ministers walked out than stayed behind. | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
Some say this war could break Labour for good, including one some hope | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
may challenge for the leadership, though she's not saying. | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
Look, I don't think today is about any potential | :11:36. | :11:38. | |
I think Jeremy, really, in the best interests of the party, | :11:39. | :11:46. | |
And we don't serve our party, or the interests of some | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
of the poorest people in our country and in our local communities, | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
by being a Labour Party that can't win an election. | :11:55. | :11:56. | |
You're finding this very difficult? | :11:57. | :11:57. | |
I feel I've served in the best way I can, and today, I had to go. | :11:58. | :12:05. | |
Rising stars, previously loyal, have risen in revolt too. | :12:06. | :12:12. | |
I think we need to go and have the leadership election | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
that has now become inevitable, that none of us wanted, | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
and that, frankly, in my view, we shouldn't be having, | :12:19. | :12:20. | |
and I think we need to use this time to unite, and to look | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
outwards to the country, and I think the only place that | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
I can realistically do that from is the back benches. | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
It feels that the collision between the people who are seeking | :12:33. | :12:34. | |
to get rid of Jeremy Corbyn and the people who are | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
trying to stick in there, in Jeremy Corbyn's team, | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
If the Labour family does break up, some on the leader's side are saying | :12:43. | :12:49. | |
Our country is divided, and the country will thank neither | :12:50. | :12:56. | |
the benches in front of me, nor those behind, for indulging | :12:57. | :12:59. | |
in internal factioning manoeuvring at this time. | :13:00. | :13:08. | |
The bitter blame game just gets worse. | :13:09. | :13:10. | |
Alan Johnson, who campaigned for a vote to stay in the EU, | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
has now accused his leader of failing to help | :13:14. | :13:15. | |
He's even claimed it felt as if Team Corbyn | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
was working against the rest of the party. | :13:21. | :13:23. | |
Among grassroots members here in Lancaster, Mr Corbyn's | :13:24. | :13:25. | |
It's not that Jeremy Corbyn's out of touch with the Labour Party | :13:26. | :13:33. | |
or the electorate, it's the fact that these MPs who have resigned | :13:34. | :13:35. | |
are actually out of touch with the Labour Party | :13:36. | :13:37. | |
He's here to stay, and I really hope that we all get together, | :13:38. | :13:40. | |
a vote of confidence Jeremy Corbyn could lose. | :13:41. | :13:46. | |
A challenge looks inevitable, but Team Corbyn are talking of winning. | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
And then, as one of them put it, making the rebels' worst | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
More power for ordinary members, allowing local parties to sack | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
Outside, people may feel they have bigger worries, | :13:58. | :14:03. | |
but this is a fight only one side can win. | :14:04. | :14:06. | |
The others face being carted off to irrelevance, | :14:07. | :14:09. | |
In a moment, we'll get the latest from our Political Editor Laura | :14:10. | :14:17. | |
Kuenssberg in Westminster, but first, let's go to our | :14:18. | :14:19. | |
correspondent Jenny Hill in Berlin, where the leaders of Germany, | :14:20. | :14:22. | |
France and Italy are meeting to discuss their response | :14:23. | :14:25. | |
Have we got a better idea on how EU leaders are going to deal with this? | :14:26. | :14:42. | |
Officially today, the language was conciliatory, the three leaders said | :14:43. | :14:45. | |
in effect they are in limbo, there is not much they can do, not even | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
start informal talks with Downing Street until it triggers Article 50, | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
the mechanism by which Britain begins to negotiate its way out of | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
the EU. Angela Merkel has said she understands the British Government | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
may need some time to analyse its current situation. But don't be | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
fooled by the gentle tone. The indication we are getting here from | :15:08. | :15:10. | |
senior MPs is that Germany at least is planning to come down pretty hard | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
on Britain. There is a reason for that. There is a widespread fear | :15:15. | :15:21. | |
here that any concessions to the UK could encourage other Eurosceptic | :15:22. | :15:24. | |
member states to head for the exit door. I think that fear is perhaps | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
what partially brought those three leaders here today, the leaders of | :15:30. | :15:32. | |
France, Germany and Italy. They have got different ideas about how they | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
would like to deal with Britain and how they see Europe's future without | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
it. Today, we saw them here during those talks in an almost convincing | :15:42. | :15:43. | |
display of unity. Laura, an extraordinary | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
day in Westminster. That's right. At the moment, when it | :15:49. | :16:01. | |
feels the country risks skidding on the ice, and at the moment when the | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
public might want to see strong, solid leadership, it is in short | :16:07. | :16:09. | |
supply. On the Tory side, what we are starting to see is rival | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
contenders for the leadership size each other up. They have to decide | :16:14. | :16:18. | |
who will actually run to be our next Prime Minister in the next couple of | :16:19. | :16:21. | |
days. On the Labour side, you have a leader who is refusing to budge, | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
despite the fact that nearly 40 - yes, 40 - of his senior team have | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
gone public to say he is not up to the job. And just down the road from | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
me, you have 1,000 left-wing demonstrators saying that Corbyn has | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
to stay. Inside the Houses of Parliament, MPs are shouting at each | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
other with them calling on Jeremy Corbyn to go and to go quickly. | :16:45. | :16:49. | |
Right at this moment, the biggest political junction we have seen for | :16:50. | :16:54. | |
decades, we have the party of Government on the hunt for a new | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
political leader and the main party of opposition, whose job it is to | :16:59. | :17:02. | |
hold them to account, with a leader who many of his MPs believes | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
authority has gone missing. Laura, Jenny, thank you both. | :17:08. | :17:10. | |
David Cameron tells MPs it's now time to implement the EU referendum | :17:11. | :17:17. | |
And still to come - aces trump British wildcard | :17:18. | :17:24. | |
James Ward as Novak Djokovic begins the defence of his Wimbledon title. | :17:25. | :17:31. | |
In sport, England prepare for their biggest match | :17:32. | :17:32. | |
Beat Iceland tonight, and Roy Hodgson's side will face | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
Politicians, from all sides, have condemned an apparent upsurge | :17:38. | :17:55. | |
in cases of racism directed at migrants, following | :17:56. | :17:58. | |
David Cameron said the Government would not "tolerate intolerence". | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
A national online police site has seen a 57% increase in hate crimes, | :18:04. | :18:06. | |
since last week's vote - compared to last month - | :18:07. | :18:09. | |
although the numbers of cases overall are still said to be small. | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
Our home affairs correspondent, Dominic Casciani, reports. | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
An 11-year-old boy who found a message of hate. | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
This is one of the cards that Matthaus found on his way to school | :18:22. | :18:24. | |
on Friday just hours after the referendum | :18:25. | :18:26. | |
He is Polish and has been living with his family | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
His father Tomek works long hours in a local factory, | :18:32. | :18:37. | |
so how did they feel when they read the card? | :18:38. | :18:40. | |
That's rude because I'm Polish and... | :18:41. | :18:46. | |
It's horrible because I live in this country, pay taxes, pay everything, | :18:47. | :18:55. | |
My home is now in this country, not Poland. | :18:56. | :19:03. | |
My neighbours are Polish, they are lovely, they don't | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
deserve something like that through the door. | :19:08. | :19:10. | |
It's not that I don't agree with it but there | :19:11. | :19:13. | |
The referendum was about the big questions and for many voters | :19:14. | :19:20. | |
that was about who controls immigration, but for a minority | :19:21. | :19:23. | |
that was an excuse to play on fears and encourage hate. | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
Graffiti on the Polish Cultural Centre in London, | :19:29. | :19:31. | |
another example of the hate many Poles predicted the | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
The campaign unleashed a lot of negative things towards Poles | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
in the UK and London, despite the massive economic | :19:40. | :19:41. | |
contribution they have to the British economy, | :19:42. | :19:44. | |
so there's a lot of worry in the community about the fact | :19:45. | :19:46. | |
that these sort of attacks may get repeated in the next | :19:47. | :19:49. | |
Police chiefs say that since Friday there has been a 57% rise | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
in the hate crimes reported to a national hotline in England, | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
Wales and Northern Ireland compared with the same three days last month, | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
but the overall figures are still relatively small, | :20:02. | :20:03. | |
Yet social media has been awash with claims of racist incidents. | :20:04. | :20:10. | |
A patient in hospital insulting a Sikh member of staff, | :20:11. | :20:13. | |
a white supremacist taunt and many reports of Muslims being abused. | :20:14. | :20:20. | |
The question now is whether this incident was a blip, | :20:21. | :20:23. | |
police have seen similar spikes amid moments of national tension, | :20:24. | :20:26. | |
or is it a sign of a more worrying long-term trend? | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
One of the founder members of the controversial | :20:31. | :20:37. | |
Paedophile Information Exchange - set up in the 1970s | :20:38. | :20:39. | |
to campaign for a lowering of the age of consent - | :20:40. | :20:41. | |
has been jailed for sexually abusing teenage boys. | :20:42. | :20:43. | |
Douglas Slade was found guilty of multiple serious sexual assaults | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
against teenagers in Bristol, as Dan Johnson reports. | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
Under arrest and being deported from the Philippines, | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
Douglas Slade finally forced to answer for his abuse in Britain. | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
He showed me what I thought was affection. | :21:01. | :21:04. | |
Robert was a runaway 15-year-old needing somewhere to stay. | :21:05. | :21:07. | |
He invited me up to what he called the captain's cabin | :21:08. | :21:14. | |
In all, five men recalled how as boys they were offered days out | :21:15. | :21:21. | |
The court heard he ran a paedophile helpline offering advice to other | :21:22. | :21:30. | |
men, and boys were passed around, too. | :21:31. | :21:34. | |
On the right is Slade's friend, Christopher Skeaping. | :21:35. | :21:37. | |
He was found guilty of indecent assault. | :21:38. | :21:40. | |
And look at this, Slade and Skeaping exposed 40 years ago. | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
In a recent police interview Slade was asked about a group called | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
At that time, I didn't know what a paedophile was. | :21:49. | :21:54. | |
I thought it was somebody that rode a bike. | :21:55. | :21:56. | |
I mean, they talked about changing the law and reducing | :21:57. | :22:00. | |
He was repeatedly accused of molesting children | :22:01. | :22:11. | |
He openly boasted about paying officials to drop charges. | :22:12. | :22:19. | |
These men have made a career out of it. | :22:20. | :22:21. | |
They have been doing it for their lives and how they have | :22:22. | :22:24. | |
They have taken away an innocence that is not an adult's to take away. | :22:25. | :22:29. | |
Other victims gave statements to the court. | :22:30. | :22:31. | |
One wrote: "He is an evil coward who has shown no remorse." | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
Another said: "Slade's actions will go with me to the grave." | :22:37. | :22:39. | |
50 years of abuse have at last caught up with Douglas Slade. | :22:40. | :22:44. | |
He will be sentenced for his crimes on Friday. | :22:45. | :22:47. | |

Two children remain in a serious condition in hospital | :22:52. | :22:56. | |
after yesterday's rollercoaster crash at a theme park in Motherwell. | :22:57. | :22:58. | |
A 12-year-old boy has chest, abdominal and leg injuries | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
and an 11-year-old boy suffered serious arm and hand injuries. | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
In total, six others remain in hospital. | :23:07. | :23:09. | |

Well, in just over half an hour's time, England expects | :23:14. | :23:19. | |
as Roy Hodgson's team take on Iceland for a place | :23:20. | :23:22. | |
Our sports editor, Dan Roan, is there for us this evening. | :23:23. | :23:35. | |
There is no doubt that we have reached the business end of Euro | :23:36. | :23:41. | |
2016. The holders, Spain, were knocked out in the last hour by | :23:42. | :23:46. | |
Italy, 2-0 the score. There is a huge amount of at stake now for | :23:47. | :23:49. | |
these England players you can see behind me. They are seeking their | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
first knockout win in a major tournament in ten years. There is | :23:55. | :23:59. | |
also a lot riding on this for the manager as well. It is simple - if | :24:00. | :24:04. | |
England lose, he will be out of a job if the unthinkable happens | :24:05. | :24:08. | |
against a team who are the smallest nation ever to reach a major | :24:09. | :24:16. | |
competition. Iceland are unbeaten here and they have great | :24:17. | :24:20. | |
organisation, a great team spirit and 30,000 travelling fans in | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
support that equate to 10% of the entire population of that country. | :24:26. | :24:29. | |
England should be confident, they should win, but all the pressure is | :24:30. | :24:36. | |
on them. They have brought back in Raheem Sterling, he is back in, one | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
of six changes that Roy Hodgson has made for the second game in a row. | :24:41. | :24:47. | |
They are seeking the goals that have so far eluded them. If they can | :24:48. | :24:51. | |
score and win, they be in the quarterfinals, alongside Wales and | :24:52. | :24:54. | |
they will look forward to a tie against France later this week, the | :24:55. | :24:55. | |
hosts. Thank you. Wimbledon got under way today | :24:56. | :24:58. | |
but with Andy Murray not playing until until tomorrow it was chance | :24:59. | :25:00. | |
for Britain's other Eight in all were in action, | :25:01. | :25:02. | |
including James Ward, who faced the daunting prospect | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
of playing the defending champion Joe Wilson reports from | :25:08. | :25:10. | |
the All England Club. Enter the invincible, | :25:11. | :25:15. | |
well when it is Novak Djokovic mere defending champion | :25:16. | :25:18. | |
doesn't seem enough. From first berry to the last | :25:19. | :25:21. | |
straw, he is expected First set, a bagel, | :25:22. | :25:24. | |
the tennis term for a zero, Second set, 40 minutes on court, | :25:25. | :25:28. | |
and Ward won a game. Don't sit down, next game Ward broke | :25:29. | :25:40. | |
the Djokovic serve, took him all the way | :25:41. | :25:42. | |
to a tie-break which Djokovic won. And Ward lost in three sets | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
but he kept the match on court for over two hours, | :25:48. | :25:49. | |
gave Djokovic a challenge, and not In total, there were eight British | :25:50. | :25:52. | |
singles players in action for the crowd to enjoy | :25:53. | :25:59. | |
on the first day of Wimbledon. Kyle Edmund, British number three, | :26:00. | :26:02. | |
lost in three, to a Frenchman ranked Naomi Broady, gone in straight sets | :26:03. | :26:08. | |
to a higher ranked Marcus Willis, world | :26:09. | :26:16. | |
ranking 772, on fire. "Shoes off if you love Willis" | :26:17. | :26:26. | |
they sang, soulfully. Last year, Willis | :26:27. | :26:34. | |
almost quit tennis. Next round he could play Federer, | :26:35. | :26:37. | |
if they let him go. Time for a look at the weather | :26:38. | :26:42. | |
with Louise Lear. Not a bad start for Wimbledon. Not a | :26:43. | :26:57. | |
bad start for most of us. Just take a look at Weston-super-Mare this | :26:58. | :27:00. | |
afternoon. Hardly a cloud in the sky. It is a changeable story. There | :27:01. | :27:05. | |
will be some sunshine, but from Thursday, it will feel fresher and | :27:06. | :27:09. | |
there will be some rain at times. This has been the story today, just | :27:10. | :27:13. | |
a peppering of cloud, particularly the further north and west you go. | :27:14. | :27:16. | |
That's brought a scattering of showers. Chiefly along west-facing | :27:17. | :27:21. | |
coasts of Scotland, but we could see one or two sharper ones into | :27:22. | :27:24. | |
north-west England over the next hour or so. Those showers may keep | :27:25. | :27:30. | |
going here overnight. It will be a fresher night to come before the | :27:31. | :27:34. | |
rain arrives into the south-west. After a dry start, across central | :27:35. | :27:39. | |
and eastern areas, the rain moves in to the south-west. Some of it will | :27:40. | :27:43. | |
be heavy during the early morning rush hour. | :27:44. | :27:48. | |
It will be fairly showery in nature across Scotland and Northern | :27:49. | :27:51. | |
Ireland. Temperatures a bit more subdued. A similar story for | :27:52. | :27:57. | |
Northern England. The rain will be heavy and persistent across central | :27:58. | :28:01. | |
and southern areas of Wales. It won't arrive in the London area | :28:02. | :28:05. | |
until the early evening rush hour. At the same time, it will brighten | :28:06. | :28:10. | |
up down to the south-west. That does mean there is a potential for some | :28:11. | :28:14. | |
rain to interrupt play on the outer courts at Wimbledon through the | :28:15. | :28:18. | |
latter stages of tomorrow. It rattles away quickly, that rain. A | :28:19. | :28:22. | |
chilly start to Wednesday morning, but almost a repeat performance. Dry | :28:23. | :28:27. | |
and sunny in the east before the rain moves in to the south and west. | :28:28. | :28:31. | |
Some of it heavy and persistent and a fresher feel in the north. | :28:32. | :28:38. | |
