huge cheering here when... both teams are confident. both teams can read each other very well. it's very fast pace. i must tell you, england fans were outnumbered the last time they were playing austria, right now they were playing austria, right now they have made their voices heard here and i'm sure in the stadium as well. —— in australia. i here and i'm sure in the stadium as well. -- in australia.— well. -- in australia. i don't know which screen _ well. -- in australia. i don't know which screen to _ well. -- in australia. i don't know which screen to look— well. -- in australia. i don't know which screen to look at. - well. -- in australia. i don't know which screen to look at. tells - well. -- in australia. i don't know. which screen to look at. tells about the rivalry about these two sides. that met before haven't they? filth. that met before haven't they? 0h, es, i that met before haven't they? oh, yes. i think — that met before haven't they? oh, yes, i think there _ that met before haven't they? oh, yes, i think there is _ that met before haven't they? oi yes, i think there is rivalry, but these are two sides that have great back stories to get to this moment. they have overcome many obstacles. england, overcome injury, lori and james being suspended, the nail—biting penalty shoot—out with nigeria. and have a look at spain.

my nigeria. and have a look at spain. my god! this is a team full of talent and football and pace and speed, but they have been having their own battles with their own coach who comes on the screen every now and again. there has been so much internal turmoil between the coach and some of the best players and yet they have managed to put that aside and put on a great show and get to this final. both teams have already made histories because they have both reached the final, but only one can go home with a new name etched on the world cup trophy. thank you very much indeed. will let you get on being in the of it and keeping your eye on the game. that is exactly what i'm doing. 50 both teams — on the hunt for that world cup crown — lionel messi knows that feeling, having done it with argentina, at the men's final last year... he's back to winning trophies with mls side inter miami. messi has been scoring for fun, since moving to miami, including this opener in their leagues cup final against nashville — the game went to penalties, which miami won — meaning messi becomes the most decorated

footballer of all time with 44 trophies. a wimbledon final rematch is taking place at the cincinnati open later, after novak djokovic defeated alexander zverev in the semi—finals on saturday. the 36—year—old overcame zverev 7—6, 7—5 in a battle at the baseline, under the lights at the atp masters 1000 event where the 23—time major champion djokovic will next clash against world number one carlos alcaraz for a fourth time. alcaraz beat djokovic at swi9 last month, in a five—set thriller. the spaniard also defends his us open title later in august. and the world athletics championships continue today — day two under way in budapest. six more gold medals up for grabs today. events already under way including the heptathlon. you can keep across all the action on the bbc sport website. and that's all the sport for now. still 0—0 in the england, spain match. we will keep you up—to—date with that throughout the day, undoubtedly. great stuff, thank you for that. undoubtedly. great stuff, thank you forthat. in undoubtedly. great stuff, thank you for that. in other news... russia's luna—25 space craft has

crashed into the moon after it spun into uncontrolled orbit. this is according to russia's space agency — earlier it reported an "abnormal situation" that occurred to the spacecraft when it was preparing for a pre—landing orbit. luna—25 was scheduled to land on the south pole of the moon tomorrow. the bbc�*s europe regional editor, paul moss has this update. it's important to understand what this mission was hoping to achieve. as you said, the idea of the luna—25 mission was to land a space craft on the south pole of the moon for the first time. this was important for two reasons. first of all, scientifically it was very interesting. what the russians were hoping to do was to detect ice or water on the moon, which would be very important if there was ever to be a permanent moon base. however, this project was also all about prestige and that's

why this latest development is so important. russia launched this space mission in the midst of sanctions and acknowledged it couldn't get some of the technical parts it would normally need for a space mission. they went ahead anyway and at the time of the launch, there were critics who said, well, they thought they had a 50—50 chance of success. if russia successfully landed this spacecraft on the south pole of the moon, it would be able to say, look, you sanction us and still we are able to manage this extraordinary technical achievement. instead, it appears the luna spacecraft has crashed, that's what tass, the russian news agency, has said. i do think that is not going to do anything for russia's sense of prestige at the moment. we don't know exactly what happened, but it was certainly very close to the moon when things were going right. only on saturday, the russian space agency was showing off about the success of the mission. it showed some photographs from the spacecraft of a crater on the moon.

it was crowing about how it had already been able to analyse some of the chemistry of the lunar surface. and then a few hours later, we were told that just as they were trying to shift the spacecraft into a pre—landing orbit, there was some kind of communication problem and the latest announcement from the russian space agency has said pretty bluntly, "as a result of a collision with the surface of the moon, "the space spacecraft no longer exists." that's pretty final and fundamental, i guess. but it's not the only country with a rocket on its way to the moon's south pole. this is the most extraordinary thing about this mission and indeed the development we have just heard about. at the same time, india is trying to achieve exactly the same feat. landing spacecraft for the first time on the south pole of the moon. their chandrayaan—3 spacecraft took off after the russian one

did and was expected to land on wednesday. there was clearly a race going on and it now looks like the indians have far more chance of winning that race. i should say that india's space agency tried this mission before and their rocket crashed on that occasion which shows its not an easy mission to achieve. but it is also noteworthy that the original space race was the united states versus the soviet union — this time it's been russia versus india. i cannot overstate how important space is for russia's sense of prestige. i would argue even more than it was for the united states during the great space race to the moon. the original space race of the 19605. i happened to be in moscow when the space agency announced they were going to allow the mir spaceship to crash to earth and there was a furious demonstration outside the agency building in moscow. i had a woman screaming in my ear

saying if we allow our space station to go down, it's the end of russia. she was speaking for many in terms of russia's sense of its abilities, prestige, the fact that russia sent the first man into space, yuri gagarin. the fact that russia, but many people often don't realise this, russia actually had the first spacecraft to land on the moon in 1959, an unmanned spacecraft. they were desperately hoping to bring back to life that early sense of russian achievement in space and so today's news is a major blow, notjust for the russian space agency but for russia itself, and indeed for president vladimir putin. i think paulfor that. i think paul for that. let's take you back to the women's world cup final that is under way right now. millions are watching around the world. especially here in england. this is south london, croydon, a fans own there. people are watching on the big screens. —— a fan zone.

it is still 0—0, but there have been some big chances. england have hit the crossbar in the last few minutes as we take a look at the live scenes in newcastle with glorious sunshine. we are also inside manchester. that is ella toone's old club and planting new footballers inspired by her and her efforts in this world cup. spain have also come close, a very, very good chance. it has been pretty back and forth. in madrid, a huge match in spain too. going into the world cup, there were plenty who didn't think spain would perform at the biggest stage because of the internal problems in the camp. there were disagreements. so, for spain to have performed as well as this and

get to the final, is a big achievement for them. they have played good football along the way. so far, they have not been able to break down england. it is 0—0. this is bbc news. hello there. the weather's a lot quieter today than what we had yesterday. of course, storm betty brought disruption from heavy rain, damaging winds across western parts of the uk. today, the winds will be lighter, still quite fresh across the northwest of the uk. and we'll see a mixture of sunshine and just a few showers, a lot of places staying dry. now, this is the pressure set up. even for the next few days, lower pressure towards the northwest, higher pressure over the near continent. so the further south and east that you are across the country, the better chance of you staying dry, seeing the sunshine and it will feel warmer. lighter winds here as well. more of a breeze for western scotland, northern ireland where we will see most of the showers, but the odd shower may develop elsewhere. pretty light and isolated. you'll be unlucky if you catch one. most places will stay dry.

top temperatures again, 25, maybe 26 celsius across southern and eastern areas. high teens, low 20s, further north and west. now, as you move out of sunday and into monday, a similar story once again, high pressure to the southeast, low pressure to the northwest. if anything, on monday, this area of low pressure will encroach in a little bit further to scotland and northern ireland. so after a fine start with some sunshine and a few showers, we could see areas of rain pushing into western scotland. some of it could be heavy at times, stronger winds. but eastern scotland, most of england and wales, bar the odd shower, it should be mostly dry again with the best of the sunshine in southern and eastern parts — we could be up to 26, maybe 27 celsius in the warmest spots. for tuesday, bits of cloud to begin with, some mist and murk, particularly in the south. a few showers could push into the southwest. otherwise, most of england and wales should be dry again. most of the showers should be across scotland and northern ireland. but even here, there'll be some good sunny spells at times, but the winds fresher in the north than they'll be further south. another warm day to come

across southern and eastern areas. now from midweek, it looks like we'll start to see some changes. weather fronts start to gang up on us and push right across the country. so we'll start to see some showers, some of them heavy and thundery across southern areas by the end of the week, and also by the end of the week, low pressure takes over, we start to see our winds switch to a north—north—westerly direction. and so you can see the red and orange colours ebbing away back to the near continent. so it will be turning fresher for all areas. so a warm start across the south and the east of the country, in particular, further showers in the north and the west. then all areas start to turn cooler and breezier with showers by the end of the week.

this is bbc news, the headlines. the match is under way — spain are playing england — both trying to win the women's world cup final. scenes of devastation, as wildfires continue to rage across canada, and the western province of british columbia goes under a state of emergency. and the uk's doctors' union is calling for hospital managers to be regulated in a similar way to medical staff — following the conviction of serial—killer nurse, lucy letby.

it is spain who take the early advantage. they have nudged ahead, 1-0, with advantage. they have nudged ahead, i—0, with eagle in minute. it came from a crossfield ball, and a strike into the bottom corner. you can see some of the fans cheering there, in madrid, a great goal, a great finish, and a great celebration from so many fans packed in watching there. that will be
