f—16 fighter jets that will soon be heading to ukraine. you're watching bbc news and i am gareth barlow. we start in australia, where the spanish women's football team are celebrating, following their 1—0 victory over england in a gripping world cup final. there wasjubilation among the spanish players as they lifted the trophy — crowned champions for the first time. they were joined by spain's queen letizia, who was in sydney for the match with her teenage daughter. in spain itself, this was the reaction at the fanzone in madrid as the whistle was blown at full time. let's hear the thoughts of some of the spanish fans watching. translation: this is for women's football, for women's history. - they deserve it. we must keep pushing and giving visibility. translation: it's a double success.

we managed to be world champions, but this is going to motivate a lot of young women to play football and other sports. it's wonderful. translation: i've been playing football since i was little. - i feel like i was them. i wish i was there to celebrate. it's so exciting. the only goal of the game came from the spanish captain olga carmona, who slotted the winner past goalkeeper mary earps in the first half. it means england's wait to win a first women's world cup title goes on. in london, there were tears, hugs and disappointment for the lionesses, who were looking to become the first england senior side since the men's team in 1966 to win the world cup. in a statement, king charles said: "while i know how sore today's result must be, "let none of you feel defeated, for to have "reached the finals at all is an immense tribute to your skill, "determination and team spirit in the finest sporting tradition."

the tournament has broken attendance and tv records and raised hopes of a surge interest for the women's game around the world. and let's hearfrom the england coach, sarina wiegman: of course, everyone was very disappointed that we didn't win the game. on the other hand, i think we can be very proud of ourselves, only it doesn't feel that way at this moment. that takes a bit of time, because now, the disappointment is the most what you feel. but everything we have done, how we have grown into the tournament, the challenges we had before the tournament, during the tournament, how we have adapted to situations. and we have given everything what we could in this tournament, and also in this game. well, the bbc�*s shaimaa khalil was watching in sydney. spain's fans are still processing that momentous achievement by their team. i was looking at them as they watched la roja lift that world cup trophy, and you could see the emotions.

some had tears in their eyes. a little boy told me, "i just actually cannot believe "that this has happened." this is a team that has been through so much turmoil off the pitch. so much disagreement between coach and players, and yet, they've come through and gotten better in that tournament, and here they are, world champions. new world champions, that is. their name, a new name is now etched on that world cup trophy. this fan zone has been the hub of so many emotions throughout the tournament. huge heartbreaks, achievements, triumphs and celebrations, nail—biting penalty shoot—outs that we have lived through, upsets that nobody expected. often, the england fans were outnumbered here, but today, they actually had a strong presence. you could hear the cheers and the jeers for the lionesses. they leave here disappointed. this is not the night they wanted, and yet, they are very proud of their team.

this is a tournament that has changed the game for women's sport, and for women's football. you can see kids now with jerseys of the players. they have now become household names. and the hope is that this will now gain momentum for more investment in women's football and women's sport. it's spain's first women's world cup — joining only four other nations who've lifted the trophy, since the tournament began in 1991. jenny hill reports now from madrid. they dared to hope. and they got their dream. history made and a moment to savour. "we've won at last", he says. her words, history,

herwords, history, history, finally. well, you can seejust how thrilled they are. you know, there are so many young people here. and for many, this is a moment which they'll remember for the rest of their lives. even the queen of spain couldn't contain her excitement, celebrating with the squad. their victory — all the sweeter after months of a very public falling out between coach and players. and back home, this win matters. spain's football—mad, but the men tend to steal the show. translation: the women are as good as the men. i they make the same effort. we should give them more support. they give us the same joy. it's a beginning that we are winning. more people are interested. today's the day the women can finally get the sport

that they deserve. reveling in their triumph and hoping the spoils of victory extend far beyond the pitch. jenny hill, bbc news, madrid. earlier i spoke to our reporter, sergi forcada freixas, who was in the main square in madrid as the city reacts to the win. they have been celebrating for a few hours. just after the match, they started going through the streets of madrid with flags, the spanish flag, chanting and generally being happy. but the celebration has been kind of short, around two or three hours, more or less. now, things are back to normal. i'm here in plaza mayor, one of the most iconic squares in madrid and as you can see, people are going by with their normal lives. they want to celebrate more, and some of those who were departing earlier were already saying, "is there going to be any kind "of parade in the coming days?" first, the players have to come back here and we know that the squad is going to fly back from australia

in the coming hours, and we are being told there will be a celebration cake on board the plane and they will land in madrid on monday at 10pm. what is still to be confirmed is if there will be a parade on tuesday. local authorities have not said anything yet and they say they are looking into it but they have not confirmed it. in 2010, when the men's football team won the world cup, there was a parade. so, many here are expecting that there will be one in the coming days. you mention the celebrations lasted a couple of hours and have died down and have died down a bit, but talk to us about the interest throughout the tournament as a whole in spain. there has definitely been more interest than in previous world cups. one of the reasons probably is because spain has been advancing to the next phases, whereas as in the past, they were always out of the competition very early. people here are mostly tuning in and there have not been big gatherings. the final has obviously been

different, but up until the final, there were not big gatherings, as we have seen in england or in places in australia or new zealand, for example. here, people were mainly watching on tv at home and possibly with friends and family, but there were not large gatherings. one of the reasons may be the sun, because most of the matches were here in midday or at times of the day when it was really hot, so we haven't seen that. but there has been an interest and the media have been talking about it, and the question here that many have is, is this interest going to last? now that they are the world champions, is the coverage going to stay in the media? many hope this will be the case. ecuador is choosing a new president after a campaign marred by the assassination of one of the candidates.

the authorities have deployed more than 100,000 police and soldiers to protect the vote. our south america correspondent, katy watson, is in quito. kt. kt, we introduce there that 100,000 soldiers and police had been deployed to try to keep the peace. what has today been like so far? yes, i was talking to a kerneljust now, who said they had been deployed to voting centres from wednesday. normally, it would just be over the weekend, but they have had to beef up weekend, but they have had to beef up security. when we entered one of the voting centres, they were checking our bags, checking everybody coming in. so, certainly, there is that increased presence of police and military personnel here in quito. and on the coast, in places like esmeralda us and inquire a killer, certainly, there is even more security there, because those are some of the areas that have been more hits because of violence and increased organised crime over the

past four years. —— on the coast in guayaquil. so, that is something they are taking increasingly seriously on these polls today. polls close and a few hours time, and then the work begins for whoever is successful as a result of this election. considering the rise of violence, and the political assassinations, where there has not just been won, but several over the course of this campaign, is that the political will to get ecuador beyond the political situation it currently finds itself in?— finds itself in? well, it is a long rocess. finds itself in? well, it is a long process. first _ finds itself in? well, it is a long process. first of _ finds itself in? well, it is a long process. first of all, _ finds itself in? well, it is a long process. first of all, these - process. first of all, these elections are actually called early, after the current president dissolved the national assembly, because he tried to avoid an impeachment vote. so, the person who was voted in in these elections will actually only be rooting for 18 months, so very many people feel, what can be done in a time? these are actually the first round of elections, so it is looking unlikely that any candidate will win enough. they have to win either 50% of the

boat or 40% of the boat with a lead of 10%. boat or 40% of the boat with a lead of10%. -- boat or 40% of the boat with a lead of 10%. -- 50% of boat or 40% of the boat with a lead of 10%. —— 50% of the vote. so, speaking to people here, they don't expect this do not go through to a second round, so that would take place later in october. that means that there is a lot of doubts over how exactly things can be tackled when it comes to crime, given that for example, the drug cartels that seem to be so strong at the moment here in ecuador, people really doubting what politics can achieve. it certainly, speaking to those who had voted out there today, they feel they're doing this is very much part of their duty, and that is something they feel very strongly about, to try to make for a better ecuador. now, as you say, the president called this a snap election, to try to avoid impeachment. is there any indication as to what might happen with regards to that process? weill. with regards to that process? well, i mean everybody _ with regards to that process? well, i mean everybody is _ with regards to that process? well, i mean everybody is looking... - with regards to that process? -ii i mean everybody is looking... he is not standing, so the impeachment process has been pulled because he

dissolved the national assembly. so, moving on, it will be exactly what happens with the next president who takes office. i mean, it has been particularly messy politics over the last year or so. it has also been a very difficult few years for ecuador. it was hit very badly by the pandemic, corrupt politics over the pandemic, corrupt politics over the last few years. all of these things are added to the woes of ecuador. and, speaking to all of the candidates on the campaign trail, thatis candidates on the campaign trail, that is something they want to change. they also want to change, give more opportunities to ecuadorians, because one candidate i spoke to, explained that if you don't give opportunities to ecuadorians, that is basically giving easyjobs to the cartels, who can pay a great sum of money to be able to get people on their side, and that is something that ecuador is struggling with. trying to get people here opportunities and a dignified life.— people here opportunities and a dinified life. . . . dignified life. fantastic. thank you very much- —

a 10—year—old girl who was found dead in surrey in the south east of england was known to the authorities, the county council has confirmed. sara sharif�*s body was found at herfamily home in woking, in the early hours of 10th august. bbc news has been told to police teams in north punjab in pakistan have been looking for her father. surrey county council said it would work tightly to gain a full understanding of the situation. russia's luna 25 aircraft has crashed into the spinning out of orbit. earlier, it reported and and a normal situation as the spacecraft prepared for pre—landing orbits. luna 25 was scheduled to land at the south pole of the moon on the bbc�*s mulled wine and has been following the story from moscow. you might all we know is what roscosmos, the russian space agency said in that

yes, absolutely. ithink ukraine. —— has dwindled somewhat. yes, absolutely. i think russia was hoping that this mission, the luna 25, would re—establish russia's position as one of the world leaders in space travel, because after all, space exploration is what superpowers do, right? and vladimir putin very much sees himself, sees russia as a global superpower. but i think you are right that the russian space industry has been in decline for many years now. why is that? partly, it is because of western sanctions, right? western sanctions make it more difficult for the russian space programme to get spare parts, like electronics, semiconductors, and also, make it more difficult to work with international partners. but it also because more and more resources now because more and more resources how are because more and more resources now are being diverted away from the civilian space programme, and towards the military, and towards the war in ukraine. i’m towards the military, and towards the war in ukraine. i'm interested, considering — the war in ukraine. i'm interested, considering how _ the war in ukraine. i'm interested, considering how much _ the war in ukraine. i'm interested, considering how much of _ the war in ukraine. i'm interested, considering how much of a - the war in ukraine. i'm interested, | considering how much of a political event this is as well as a scientific one. how is this being

yeah. obviously disappointed for them. you could see in the tournament how much they adapted, how much they gave to make us proud. and they did. do you know, being runners up in a world cup, we've never got to a final before. and yes, we believed. we hoped, but today i think spain were deservedly the winners and theyjust controlled the game, especially in that first half where they did that damage. and i agree that we came back into it in the second half when we made those changes in that formation change. but we just didn't have enough couldn't make enough chances to really put the pressure on spain and the game kind of got a bit patchy with all the extra time and everything and delays but i'm just so proud of the team. i know what it feels like to feel despondent after being knocked out. i played in a euros final in 2009 and you dream big. but then once that settles and that disappointment of not getting that prize, which you worked so hard for in weeks to come, i think the team will realise that will ease and then they'll realise how proud they are and they've got a silver medal around their neck. but credit to spain. they deserved it today. and like you say, silver medal, they still did spectacularly well. they came second in the world cup.

i'm interested what you were saying there about the build up and coming away from a final. what is it like that almost wind down after such a big event? playing for weeks, preparing for months, if not years? what are these hours and days like for the players? it will be hard. even, i got to the quarter finals in a world cup, but it's that you feeljust empty for quite a few weeks afterwards because you've been preparing. that's been your focus. you played your season, but you know that world cup is at the end of the season. and when you're in that bubble, it's so intense. and obviously, to get all the way to the final with the extra kind of pressure and expectation, i suppose, nowadays on the team, even though i think they handled that brilliantly. you know, you want to go and achieve, you want to use that to get... i mean, they got so close. i remember it being almost like a month, maybe even longer. that kind of emptiness feeling stays in you. and that wasn't even when i got to a final. it was because that's the pinnacle. playing in a world cup

is what you dream of, and you've got to shift your focus very quickly. but sometimes that can be hard. but i'm just so proud of the players. i think they need to hold their head heads up high. they've made massive changes over the last year being euro champions to then get to a final. i mean, wow, that is an incredible achievement in itself. and just, today, just fell a little bit short. but yeah, credit to them. i'm proud of them. hugely so. it's not a bad sunday by any measure, let's be honest. and just briefly, how do the side now build on that success and take it forwards? well, they have to, you know, realise that they came so close and use that as fuel for their motivation in their next games as well as tournaments that come up. the olympics will be next for the team gb, but a lot of these players will be involved. but equally they've got players, three amazing players to come back into the squad in an england capacity. so to do what they did with so many changes to the squad as well, so many issues throughout the tournament. yeah, they've got to use that now. fuel it. and we've done well to get into a final.

now, use it as extra motivation to just make ourselves even better. as reservations to england and congratulations to spain. plenty more to come from me, gareth barlow. stay with us. hello there. we had some lovely spells of sunshine through much of england and wales on sunday, a little more cloud at times through scotland and northern ireland with a few showers. and as we head through the course of sunday evening and sunday night, some clear skies with light winds through england. we'll see some low cloud, mist and fog developing through southern counties. more of a wind around parts of west wales, in towards the west of scotland, northern ireland. and, actually, that means temperatures here holding in the mid—teens. cooler elsewhere, with light winds and clear skies. for the week ahead, we've got low pressure to the north—west, high pressure to the south—east,

and that set up sticking with us for a few days. what it means is that, actually, through parts of scotland and northern ireland, cloudier skies with some showers or rain at times. the driest, warmest weather likely through central and south—east england, and then a cooling trend for all by thursday and certainly friday. first thing on monday, we've got that mist and low cloud lifting fairly smartly and then plenty of sunshine for england and wales. a few showers at times across parts of wales and the north of england. through scotland and northern ireland, sunny spells and a few showers. more of a breeze here as well from the south or south—west and heavier rain pushing in towards the highlands and islands. in the best of the sunshine, though, through parts of central, southern and eastern england, temperatures reaching the mid—20s. cooler elsewhere. this is tuesday now, and some heavy downpours across parts of the west and north—west of scotland, with low pressure once again towards the far north and north—west. elsewhere, some sunshine, and in the best of the sunshine through parts of central and south—east england, reaching 25 degrees once again, but cooler elsewhere. and certainly looking ahead towards midweek now, we still have low pressure to the north, high pressure to the south—east, but this feature here bringing some showery outbreaks of rain through parts of wales

and into the midlands. if you're south of that line, still largely dry and fine, perhaps a few showers in towards east anglia. north of here, sunny spells and a number of showers, heaviest across parts of the west and north—west of scotland. temperatures again in the sunshine reaching the mid—20s, cooler and fresher elsewhere. more like mid to high teens, probably, at best. and for the end of the week, well, low pressure becoming the dominant feature across the uk, so staying unsettled across the north, drier in the south. but, actually, that warmer weather we've had being pushed back to the near continent. that's the forecast for now.

this is bbc news. the headlines: spanish football fans have been elevating their team —positive victory in the women's workup final in australia. they beat england 1—0 in australia. they beat england 1—0 in a closely fought final in sydney. it was a hugely disappointing result for england's lionesses, who were also hoping for their first—ever world cup win. m essa g es of messages of some of the half poured in for the messages of some of the half poured inforthe team. messages of some of the half poured in for the team. king charles said their place was set in the history books while rishi sunak described them as game changers. ecuador is choosing a new president after a campaign marred by violence,

including the assassination of one of the candidates. police have been deployed to safeguard the vote. the snap poll was called after the president... avoiding calls of being impeached. now in bbc news, it's sportsday. hello and welcome to sportsday. i'm hugh ferris. the headlines this evening: the lionesses' loss is spain's gain. it is they who are world cup winners. a 1—0 defeat in the final leaves england one game short of making history. i think we can be very proud of ourselves, only it doesn't feel that way at the moment. but here's an english woman who has been crowned champion of the world — katarina johnson—thompson wins britain's first gold in budapest.

also coming up on sportsday:
