:06:36. > :06:39.period of political and economic uncertainty Mark Carney sought to
:06:40. > :06:44.reassure. Yes, tough economic times might be ahead but the bank has a
:06:45. > :06:48.plan. By promoting monetary and financial stability the bank and
:06:49. > :06:51.help facilitate these decisions, smooth the necessary economic
:06:52. > :06:55.adjustments and help UK households and businesses sees new opportunity
:06:56. > :07:00.for that we have a clear plan, we are rapidly putting its main
:07:01. > :07:05.elements in place and it's working. So what does the governor believed
:07:06. > :07:09.the post Brexit economy looks like? He warned today about the high
:07:10. > :07:12.levels of debt carried by some consumers, saying that everyone
:07:13. > :07:16.should be prudent. He said there were concerns about the property
:07:17. > :07:22.market, both commercial where prices might fall and domestic. To help,
:07:23. > :07:27.the governor pushed for up to ?150 billion of new lending by banks by
:07:28. > :07:30.relaxing regulations. The banks and building societies are up and
:07:31. > :07:36.running, they are open. Credit is available for people who want it. We
:07:37. > :07:40.have reinforced that today and that will help this adjustment, without
:07:41. > :07:43.question. It's going to dampen, it's going to caution, it's going to make
:07:44. > :07:50.it better than it otherwise would be. We are in a very different world
:07:51. > :07:54.than we were in 2007- 08. Around the table today the chief executives of
:07:55. > :07:58.some of Britain's biggest banks meeting the Chancellor, more
:07:59. > :08:02.reassurance. We created a system whereby the next time we had a
:08:03. > :08:06.challenging economic environment our banks were part of the solution to
:08:07. > :08:10.the problem rather than the problem. The Bank of England has been able to
:08:11. > :08:15.free up additional lending capacity for the banks. It is a precarious
:08:16. > :08:19.time, and the house to vote as here in south London and across the
:08:20. > :08:24.country, the worry is price could come under pressure. Any help is
:08:25. > :08:27.gratefully received. It's really uncharted waters, so it's a very
:08:28. > :08:32.difficult one to call. But I think people just need to remain resilient
:08:33. > :08:36.and confident. I think the sun has risen 12 time since the Brexit vote
:08:37. > :08:41.and will continue to rise, let's stay positive and keep Britain
:08:42. > :08:44.building. There has been a subtle change of tone from the governor of
:08:45. > :08:47.the Bank of England. Before the referendum you would have struggled
:08:48. > :08:53.to hear the word positive fall from Mark Carney's lips but he did use
:08:54. > :08:57.the word today, at least about some of the economic indicators post the
:08:58. > :09:15.big vote. Why is that? Because Mark Carney says he
:09:16. > :09:17.wants to offer reassurance, reassurance to consumers,
:09:18. > :09:19.reassurance to businesses, the two big drivers of the UK economy.
:09:20. > :09:22.Uncertainty still stalks the city, the pound is falling again and two

:21:55. > :21:59.They're also the first British nation to make it to this stage
:22:00. > :22:01.of a major championship for 20 years.
:22:02. > :22:10.I've lost count in the last couple of weeks how many Welsh supporters
:22:11. > :22:15.have told me that the 58-year wait to be in a major tournament has
:22:16. > :22:20.suddenly become worth it. Perennial pessimists have become optimists.
:22:21. > :22:22.There is real belief that Wales can achieve another first, reach their
:22:23. > :22:24.first final. All that stands in their way is tomorrow night's game
:22:25. > :22:27.against Portugal. Some just aren't old enough

:22:42. > :22:44.been done in the last 60 years, Wales have found their feet just
:22:45. > :22:48.as others have floundered. But after elation, expectation that
:22:49. > :22:55.needs to be managed. We go into this game
:22:56. > :22:57.as the underdogs. Portugal have been in seven
:22:58. > :23:02.semifinals in big tournaments. Wales know that an opportunity
:23:03. > :23:15.of a lifetime awaits, one will miss his own brother's
:23:16. > :23:17.wedding to play here. Another has postponed his own
:23:18. > :23:20.wedding this weekend just For the players, it's
:23:21. > :23:24.about keeping both feet firmly on the ground,
:23:25. > :23:26.not thinking beyond But, back home, everyone
:23:27. > :23:30.seems to believe. I think they've got
:23:31. > :23:33.a very good chance. Everybody will be keeping
:23:34. > :23:36.their fingers crossed. Back in Swansea, there's already
:23:37. > :23:38.talk of reaching the final. Get past Portugal, anything
:23:39. > :23:41.can happen after that. I think we should do well
:23:42. > :23:47.on Wednesday, up against Portugal. To do that, Wales will need
:23:48. > :23:51.to silence the headline-grabber, One former manager warns
:23:52. > :23:56.he must be contained. It may be his moment,
:23:57. > :23:58.because he is capable of going to up there,
:23:59. > :24:01.where no other player can get to. There's no doubt about that,
:24:02. > :24:09.they have a big chance. Whatever happens here will be
:24:10. > :24:12.a moment of history. Air traffic control strikes
:24:13. > :24:14.threatened to delay some fans, but no-one will want
:24:15. > :24:25.to miss this party. It's a Nasa spacecraft called Juno,
:24:26. > :24:28.and this morning, there were cheers as it finally entered the orbit
:24:29. > :24:31.of the largest planet The probe was launched
:24:32. > :24:36.five years ago. It has travelled 1.7 billion miles
:24:37. > :24:38.to reach its destination. It's hoped that Juno's 20-month
:24:39. > :24:41.mission will give us a better understanding
:24:42. > :24:43.of this mysterious planet. From mission control
:24:44. > :24:46.in California, here's our science A tense wait at Mission control
:24:47. > :24:54.to learn the fate of Nasa's After more than a decade's worth

:25:11. > :25:12.Juno is the closest we've Nasa's Juno spacecraft
:25:13. > :25:24.blasted off in 2011. We prepared a contingency
:25:25. > :25:29.communications procedure. Over the next 20 months,
:25:30. > :25:42.Juno will complete 37 orbits. It will give us our best overviews
:25:43. > :25:45.of the giant red spot, a vast storm that's raged
:25:46. > :25:48.for hundreds of years, and it will peer beneath
:25:49. > :25:52.the planet's thick swirl of clouds Jupiter is so massive that 1000
:25:53. > :26:03.earths could sit inside it. And, as it spins every ten hours,
:26:04. > :26:08.it takes everything with it. It's an incredible environment,
:26:09. > :26:11.huge storms on its surface. And Juno is going to
:26:12. > :26:15.unlock its secrets. Jupiter has just lit up
:26:16. > :26:18.with a spectacular aurora. Next month, the data
:26:19. > :26:21.begins to pour back, Time for a look at the weather.
:26:22. > :26:41.Here's Matt Taylor. It may be early July, but the summer
:26:42. > :26:46.duvets may face a test tonight. That's even after a day like this
:26:47. > :26:50.across much of the UK. But in Scotland, lashing it down there, and
:26:51. > :26:54.those heavy showers and thunder storms are now, at last, starting to
:26:55. > :26:58.ease away, pushing into the North Sea. Some sunshine in between the
:26:59. > :27:01.showers. They continue to push away through the first part of the night.
:27:02. > :27:07.Maybe affecting north-east England for a time. Clear skies and light
:27:08. > :27:10.winds tonight. It's early July but a noticeable chill in the air. In the
:27:11. > :27:15.city centres temperatures to around 10 or 11 degrees. In the countryside
:27:16. > :27:19.as low as three or four Celsius for a time during the morning. If you're
:27:20. > :27:26.up early tomorrow, might be a slight chill in the air. Quickly warming
:27:27. > :27:31.under sunny skies. Plenty of sunshine first thing. Cloud
:27:32. > :27:33.increases in the west. Damp and drizzly for a time late morning
:27:34. > :27:35.Northern Ireland spreading into western Scotland later.
:27:36. > :27:40.South-westerly winds starting to push in by the end of the day. It's
:27:41. > :27:44.going to feel warmer even with more cloud around. More cloud still as we
:27:45. > :27:46.go through Wednesday night into Thursday, bringing damp conditions
:27:47. > :27:49.to Scotland and Northern Ireland and northern England and north and west
:27:50. > :27:52.Wales. It's a one-night chill. Milder conditions to take us through
:27:53. > :27:57.tomorrow night into Thursday, temperatures for some still in the
:27:58. > :28:01.mid-teens. But Thursday, we're stuck with this weather front through the
:28:02. > :28:07.central swathe of the UK. Could be a bit further north, further south,
:28:08. > :28:10.but occasional rain especially on western facing hills. Sunshine to
:28:11. > :28:16.the north of it. 20 Celsius in eastern Scotland. 23 towards the
:28:17. > :28:17.south-east and those south-westerly winds bringing humid air. Things get
:28:18. > :28:24.more humid into Friday. Let's go back to the main story and
:28:25. > :28:27.the race to become the next Prime Minister and Conservative Party
:28:28. > :28:31.leader. Our political editor is in Westminster, where the first round
:28:32. > :28:36.votes are being counted. They are. MPs have just filed into a room up
:28:37. > :28:38.there to hear the result. We are expecting it in the next few
:28:39. > :28:42.minutes. The question tonight isn't so much who's going to be first.
:28:43. > :28:46.That's nearly inevitably going to be Theresa May in the first round. The
:28:47. > :28:51.question is, who will drop out of the race and where will their
:28:52. > :28:54.supporters go? Feels all a bit obscure, tucked away here in the
:28:55. > :28:56.corridors of power in the heart of the House of Commons, but remember,
:28:57. > :28:59.this isn't just the race for Tory leader, it's our next Prime
:29:00. > :29:03.Minister. It matters to us all. Thank you. We
:29:04. > :29:10.will bring you that result on the BBC News channel as soon as we get
:29:11. > :29:11.it. That's all from the news at Six. Gob from me. We -- goodbye
