1:33 pm
between when the tournament started, when there are all those worries, problems, behind the scenes. there was a bit of everything. tensions between the manager and the team. some of the best players were not part of the squad this year because of these issues. other people had no clue about it. we have to be conscious that women's football is not followed as much as men's football. it is not on daily headlines. many people were not even aware. people who were here today, i was asking about the controversy, people were like, what controversy? people worried about that, the fact this would effect performances, especially given that some of the best players would not be in this world cup, some did not even know about it.
1:34 pm
great stuff. we will let you get back to enjoying the atmosphere there. thousands and thousands of fans in the capital madrid, celebrating. we go live now to a spanish football journalist. how are you feeling now? i cannot believe it yet. not only because of how the matches went, but because of how the matches went, but because it has been a task year after what happened. losing against england in the euros. now we are winners of the world cup for the first time ever. spain are a great team and have a high ranking in world football. no
1:35 pm
one could ever rule them out. but people were talking at the beginning of this to an event about some of the problems in the squad, looking at usa, japan, australia, home advantage, england, lots of other teams. no one was focusing on spain as a team that could actually win it all, yet they have done it. yes. the only ones that think they could win was the players themselves. i did not even think they would reach the final. they are they would reach the final. they are the team that has played better overall. they started against japan. the netherlands.
1:36 pm
the netherlands. the players knew how to play their game. they were the best team in the tournament. others talk about the game. you could see that over the 90 minutes of the game. the short passing, the tackling rate, the way the controlled possession, will be familiar to football fans who are used to watching the men's spanish team. yes. they always play like this, not only the spanish women's team, but also barcelona, they do not know how to play if it is not like that. the important thing was to stop
1:37 pm
england's counterattacks. it was good to see this match, spain scored early that showed how they can construct the piece. what do you think of it this game as an advert for the game more broadly? finals, lots of people tuning in who do not followed so closely and have not been watching the other games. they were treated to quite a good spectacle? they were treated to quite a good sectacle? , ., they were treated to quite a good sectacle? , . , spectacle? yes. that might be something _ spectacle? yes. that might be something positive. _ something positive. 25% of people that go to spanish league matches. it reminds me of
1:38 pm
england's game last year. money, sponsorship, tv rights, all that depends on people watching, and you have had a great advert for the game. what about this spanish team, where can they go from here? now they will try for europe. they lost last year against england.
1:39 pm
thank you for coming on the programme. plenty more reaction to that world cup final later in the programme. 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've said, the idea of the luna—25 mission was to land a space craft on the south pole of the moon. this would have been the first
1:40 pm
time that it had happened. 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 only 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.
1:41 pm
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 thatjust as they were trying to shift the spacecraft into what's called a pre—landing orbit, there was some kind of communication problem and the latest announcement from the roscosmos, 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.
1:42 pm
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 a spacecraft for the first time on the south pole of the moon. their chandrayaan—3 spacecraft actually 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 that this isn't 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
1:43 pm
was for the united states during the great space race to the moon. the original space race of the 1960s. 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 earsaying, "if we allow our space station to go down, it is the end of russia." she was speaking, i think, 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, 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, i think, is a major blow, notjust for the russian space agency but for russia itself, and indeed for president
1:44 pm
vladimir putin. wildfires in canada are threatening tens of thousands of people in british columbia, which is now under a state of emergency. 30,000 people have been told to leave their homes, our correspondent peter bowes has this report. the intensity of the flames is terrifying. moving rapidly over a vast area — there are more than a thousand wildfires burning throughout canada. about a third of them are in british columbia, where 30,000 people have been told to leave their homes. another 36,000 have been warned they may have to evacuate at any moment. kelowna — a popular tourist destination about 180 miles east of vancouver — is on the edge of a huge inferno. the fire has already destroyed several homes in the smaller community of west kelowna, with embers from that blaze travelling in the wind over

a lake to ignite more structures. officials have urged the public to cancel all non—essential travel to the region. at this time, we are strongly recommending that people with plans to travel to fire—affected areas throughout the central interior and south east in the coming days to cancel those plans. we need tourists and travellers to take this situation as seriously as the residents of these areas do. to the north, yellowknife — the capital of canada's northwest territories — is now a ghost town. over two days, almost the entire population of 20,000 people were evacuated from their homes... ..leaving the city by road and air to escape a fire encroaching on their community. officials said it had been an extraordinary achievement to get everyone out.

1:47 pm
celebrations in madrid and in australia, where the games have been played. what about those england fans? our reporter has been in manchester all morning. a tough one to take. there has been a lot of disappointment here at astley and tyldesley fc in manchester. this is where england forward ella toone started her career. because of that a lot of people have a real connection to the lioness is. some of them have met ella. but yes, it was not the result that everyone here wanted. there were so many emotions going through their clubhouse. these young faces were smiling at some point, but mostly it was heartbreak. some people were actually in tears. they left the club house quite quickly after the end of the match. what has happened is quite a lot of people
1:48 pm
have come outside and started to play football. that is something that i want to talk to one of the coaches about here. there has been an impact, despite the loss for england, a lot of young girls still are out here playing. you are one of the coaches at the club. the lionesses have had a huge impact, significantly following the euros, since then we have 14 teams, from five teams one year ago. happy to be competing alongside the boys. some of the girls are better than the boys. tell us what the mood was like in the clubhouse? the

1:50 pm
people like ella toone to show what can be done. if ella can do it, coming from astley and tyldesley, there is no reason why you cannot do it. we have seen some quality players coming through. i am confident there will be two or three from the club that will play professionally. real positive impact at astley and tyldesley football club in manchester. disappointment of course, that's girls carrying on playing football, and will continue to do so here for the rest of the day. in madrid, a slightly different
1:51 pm
atmosphere, slightly livelier, as you can imagine. spain have one that women's world cup. whilst they celebrate, we are going to speak to the national football museum's director of content. we spoke before. you were full of hope. during, you were full of hope. after, theyjust could not quite do it, how are you feeling? disappointed. the atmosphere has been amazing. still full of hope. a setback today, but we have seen the incredible rise of women's football over the last few years, we celebrated here, we will continue to celebrated here, we will continue to celebrate it, there is a bright future, we will only see great
1:52 pm
things from now on. you cannot be dancing in the streets like those madrid fans, so you may as well take the positives from it. as part of the agony that england are such a good side, and with just that one goal, there was always hope? mary earps was an absolute superstar. kept us in that match until the very end. fantastic saves. 1-0 until the very end. fantastic saves. 1—0 is always painful. every mess, every moment, what if? todayit every moment, what if? today it was not to be. how does your organisation, and other organisations linked to football across england, how do you try it now and develop? for as there are so many incredible stories of women's football
1:53 pm

1:54 pm
did not find the goal. we did not stop fighting until the last second. it was close. thank you for talking to as. there we have it. spain have done it. they have won the women's world cup, 1—0, against england. it was a remarkable spectacle, in a remarkable spectacle, in a remarkable showcase, a great advert for the game. it could have gone either way. that first half goal from spain was enough. england hit the crossbar, england could not quite find that equaliser, but spain tickets, 1—0. celebrations in madrid. celebrations across spain.

the other world champions. hello there. well, plenty of sunshine set to continue across much of england and wales through sunday, but a fair weather cloud bubbling up. one or two showers certainly across northern parts of england. and it's a little more unsettled towards parts of northern ireland with some heavy showers here through the rest of today in towards western scotland as well. but eastern scotland having some sunshine too and some pleasant warmth around the moray firth. but the real heat is across parts of central and eastern england, 25 or 26 degrees. breezy though, in the northwest with those winds set to continue as we head into sunday evening with some cloud and shower outbreaks of rain working their way eastwards across scotland, parts of northern ireland, too. but the winds means temperatures
1:56 pm
here not falling particularly far, around about the mid teens in places. cooler, fresher, further south and east dry, some clear skies, but some areas of mist and fog and low cloud forming through parts of the south midlands in towards parts of southern england. for the week ahead, we've got low pressure anchored to the northwest, high pressure down towards the southeast. so that northwest—southeast split will likely persist for the next few days. and it means on monday after the early mist and fog in the south clears, it's a dry and fine day for much of england and wales. but further north and northwest, cloudier with some showers and then outbreaks of rain working across the highlands and islands of scotland in towards parts of the west of northern ireland. eastern scotland, though still dry with some sunshine and pleasantly warm. further south, though, once again we'll see temperatures reaching the mid—20s, maybe 26 degrees through parts of east anglia. looking ahead now towards tuesday, and once again, some showery activity across parts of scotland, in towards northern england, parts of north wales and northern ireland. but much of central, southern and eastern england is dry and fine.
1:57 pm
once again, any early morning mist and fog will soon lift and temperatures again mid—afternoon here in the mid—20s. now midweek, we start to see a change. we've got that high pressure still nearby, but a weather front bringing the chances some showery rain through parts of the midlands and wales. and you can see that there on the chart through wednesday. south of that band staying dry with some sunshine north of here. that familiar picture of bright spells and showers always focused across parts of the west and northwest. so on the outlook, you can see that for much of wales and england, it's dry and fine, turning unsettled later. further north, fresher with showers at times. that's the forecast for now.

2:00 pm
hello. spain have won the women's world cup final in sydney — beating england with a 1—0 lead, in what was a nail—biting final. it's a dissappointing defeat for the lionesses, who were tipped to take the trophy after a strong run in the tournament. the prince of wales has led the messages of support for the england squad saying "although it's the result none of us "wanted, lionesses, you have done yourselves and the nation proud". prime minister rishi sunak, who had earlier shared a photo as he watched the game, had this to say to the team: "you've "already secured your legacy as gamechangers, "we are all incredibly proud of you." and labour leader sir keir starmer described the defeat as "heartbreaking...this is just the beginning for the lionesses." but it is the end of a tournament which has ignited interest
