It was a crazy game We had to fight all the occasion, the team, everything against us We found a way After defeating Mexico, England catch their breath and turned their thoughts to Saturday's quarter final against Norway. Buckingham Palace says Prince Harry won't be staying there during his visit, momoments after he announced that he would because he left it too late to accept their invitation Senior doctors in England vote to go on strike and a row about their pay Sky buys ITV's media and entertainment divisions and promises hit shows will remain free to watch. for now And we just burst into tears when we saw it, we just couldn't believe it. it was like a miracle because it's so desperately needed for the church anonymous donation of gold coins to help a fourteenth century church President Trump has confirmed he called the head of FIFA Jannian Fatino To get him to review the suspension given to the U.S striker for Lan Balligan. He described the decision to send the player off as horrible said he didn't think the tackle was a foul and described the referee responsible as a little bit suspect. although he admitted not knowing what a red card was The President's intervention has been met with condemnation Belgium, who' play the USA later tonight called it astonishing been told, they cannot appeal the ruling European foootball's governing body UEFA said it left the integrity of the game at stake from Washington, Nedatofq reports There is you The number twenty United States Committee S The red card given to the US. team's top scorer on Thursday was controversial from the start. But it has gone from a question of whether it was overly harsh to a row over favoritism and allegations of political interference after Falloren Balligan's automatic one game ban was suspended for one year At the World Cup, there is no appeals process. eleven other players have missed a game after receiving red cards. In the Oval Office today, President Trump confirmed he had intervened. mister Trump said he did call up FIFAs presresident Gianni Infantino to request a review. I don't believe he made the decision. I think it was a committee that made the decision And they made the right decision because number one, it wasn't a foul. And you want to see a game with your best players. You don't want to say How would you feel if I took Uh, you know, we take, uh messy out. L, you know, he ran into somebody or we took Ronaldo, Ronaldo. You bumked into somebody We're going to take you out of a game. He's great Well Harry Kane There have long been concerns that the US and FIFA presidents were too close for comfort, appearing regularly together and lavishing praise on one another Worries about how far mister Infantino could go to please mister Trump were heightened after he personally invented a FIFA Peace Prize to award to the U. S. president, who had been overlooked after campaigning to win the Nobel Peace Prize. The former England captain, Wayne Rooney was among those who didn't hold back his criticism of FIFA's suspension of the Rd card. I think it's an absolute disgrace. Infantino He should be ashamed of this because I think for the sportsmanship of this game is in question here. In a statement, mister Infantino confirmed the call with the US president, but insisted the decision was made by FIFA's independent judicial bodies. Still, the Royal Belgium Football Association said regardless of the outcome of the match today, they would continue to fight in defense of the fundamental principles of ethics Thomas Tuchel also expressed concern the ruling sets a dangerous precedent. He questioned how the rule change now affects the availability of England's defender, Jerale KQuana after his red card. Where does he start and where does his end now Can we overturn it or not overturn it is not something what is going on? Pople seek to pursue because like you say, there's surely a chance. Where do you draw the line? Yeah, where to draw the line? This is the question that I ask, I have no answer to that With the rules now up in the air, this controversy could seriously damage feelings about this World Cup. It's emerged the government stepped in to discourage FIFA from bringing forward the start of England's game against Mexico to allow the team more time to adapt to the high altitude of Mexico cities as Teca Stadium It's understood the government used diplomatic channels to oppose moving kickoff from one o'clock this morning England's three two victory will see them play Norway next sports correspondent Andy Swiss was watching A referee goes to his whistle The greatest results In England's World Cup history. As some of their players collapsed to the ground in exhaustion and dlation, England could finally celebrate a truly heroic victory Everything has seemed against them, the altitude, the majority of the supporters, and a red card for Geral KQwanza at the start of the second half. But after two goals from Jude Bellingham had initially put them in control, they clung on thanks to the gutsiest of defensive displays For Captain Harry Cane, who'd just been singing Wonder Wall with England's supporters Losing his voice was a small price to pay. It's a crazy game had We had to fight He has to fine somethingic Yeah I's been sitting there, I can't really talk occasion, the team, everything against us We found England have now returned to their base in Kansas to start preparing for their quarter fininal against Norway, a side which includes Erling Haand, one of the game's most prolific strikers But England should now be full of confidence, according to their former captain, Alan Sheerer But this was a standout performance. This is a performance that can carry them forward. can give them belief in the hope that they can achieve something in this competition England seemed likely to be without midfielder Jordan Henderson. He injured his wrist after falling over an advertising hoarding during the celebrations But despite that setback, England's World Cup hopes are very much on course Bellingham found himself at odds with the government when he told children to stay off school if they'd stayed up to watch the match He was also asked if he had a message for older supporters who filled pubs across the country as they watched Have another shot and text your bosses to say you're not coming in tomorrow. That's about it. Correspondent, Lauren Moss has been finding out if fans took heed of his advice. They have it come They might leave it late but they. It may have been a delayed start in Mexico City due to the weather, but in England the pubs were packed, and even a two AM kickoff didn't stop the party O the final whistle came scenes of jubilation Shouting, smoke and a sea of red, white and blue these fans in Manchester kept the faith. This was the hottest everents about last. It's com The hospitality industry also has reason to celebrate. The Chain Marsds, which kept four hundred and fifty of its pubs open, said it sold over one hundred twenty thousand drinks between eleven PM and five AM But for some, it was a school night These children at Malmsbury Church of England Primary School in Wiltshire watched from seven AM in real time without knowing the score. ith our friends, it's really fun to just mess around and watch This f was so For oothers who stayed up, heading into the office this morning wasn't easy. These commuters at London's King Cross station said it was worth it. It relief that England got through of course, but just really tired and we were just still ready to go to sleep. I actually went to bed, woke up and then went back to bed. so yeah it was intense England's ten PM kickoff against Norway on Saturday is a slightly more civilized time The fans will hope the celebrations unfold the same Prince Harry will not be staying at Buckingham Palace while in the UK this week, despite his team announcing earlier that he would Royal sources say the Duke of Sussex was told on Saturday that he'd not given enough notice of his plans personers for Prince Harry said that he confirmed in time and was disappointed that the offer of accommodation had been withdrawn More details from our correspondent, Ellie Price. Even if you are the king's son, you still have to send a formal RSVP if you're invited to stay at a royal residence In Buckingham Palace's version of Eents, the Duke initially turned down on Saturday the offer of accommodation for him and his family, who were no longer coming to London, before changing his mind later that day and asking to stay himself. Roral sources say by then it was too late to make arrangements and provide staffing It's also understood there were concerns about Harry staying in the palace when a high court judgment is expected to be published tomorrow in his longstanding legal battle against associated newspapers, and how that might call into question the king's constitutional duty of neutrality in such matters But a spokesperson for the Duke of Sussex described the situation differently claiming Buckingham Palace had withdrawn at the last minute, an offer that had been formally accepted and said the timing of the court case was already known last week Prince Harry is understood to be staying privately with his security team It makes for a difficult start for a trip that is expected to include a meeting between the king and his son whose relationship is already, at best, strained Senior doctors in England have voted to take strike action as part of a dispute over pay More than three quarters of consultants who were members of the British Medical Association, backed taking industrial action No strike dates have yet been confirmed Last week, after a three year dispute, resident doctors in England accepted a new pay and jobs deal Our health editor Hugh Pim reports One doctor's dispute over pay may be settled just a week later, another has flared up Senior medics in England who are consultants have voted for industrial action, including the possibility of strikes. seventy six percent who are members of the Union the BMA voted in favour on a turnout of fifty two percent They argue that even after pay rises of four percent last year and three point five percent this year, their wages are twenty five percent lower than in two thousand eight after allowing for inflation Basic salary starts at around one hundred ten thousand pounds a year Specialist doctors who've chosen not to pursue careers as consultants also voted for action but failed to hit the fifty percent turnout threshold required by law The BMA has not yet set strike dates for consultants and has called for talks with the Secretary of State James Murray Department of Health said consultants were some of the highest paid public sector staff And there was no justification for strikes that would cause disruption to patients and the NHS Reform UK's Treasury spokesperson, Robert Genrick, says the party will focus on things the public actually cares about Rather than allegations, its leader Nigel Farage broke parliamentary rules The Sunday Times reported that he did not declare benefits provided to him before he became an MP by an ally who had once been convicted of fraud in the United States Mr. Farage has insisted he's not broken any rules Speaking outside Reform's headquarters in London, Mrter Jenrick told reporters he was getting on with his job Were just going to focus of what the public and should care about Britain's broken, they want real change and they do not care about the misinformation being put about by labour and conservatives and their proxies in the media The boss of Sky says that viewers won't need to have a paid subscription to watch popular ITV shows like Coronation Street or I'm a celebrity until at least twenty thirty four after it acquired the broadcaster It believes the one point six billion pound deal to buy ITV's media and entertainment arms will help both firms compete with online streaming giants like Netflix, as our business editor Simon Jack reports MyTV produces some of Britain's most loved television programs In the modern media jungle, bigigger is better, hence this union. poss of Sky Danis Strong said viewer favorites would not disappear behind a paywall, at least for now. If viewers still love Coronation Street in ten years time, and I imagine they will, then we'll be negotiating with ITV studios to make sure that ITV remains the home of Coronation Street, and we would love for it to remain free to air. It's really hard to predict ten years away though we've got a five year deal for all of the content that consumers love And we'll start renegotiating those deals closer to the time. Sky is big in sport, and the company suggested some of that paid for content and some drama may be shown free as a taster on ITV platforms Only a few years ago, a merger between the UK's biggest free to air commercial broadcaster and the UK's biggest pay TV company would have been unthinkable on competition grounds But the way we consume TV and video is changing, with giants like YouTube and Netflix hoovering up our screen hours, and that trend is even more pronounced among younger audiences The ITV boss Carolyn McCall said this deal was essential to secure a competitive future for UK commercial broadcasting. We will be able to compete with the global streamers which have incredibly deep pockets in order to compete Sky and I toV coming together very complelentary businesses you get everything from free to air to a high premium subscription That gives you far more ammunition if you like to compete. ITV's television production business will remain a separate independent company with a five year contract to make programs for the merged company and others ITV News is produced under a contract with ITN, which runs till twenty thirty one, and Sky promise they will remain editorially distinct But both bosses admit there will be some duplication across some business areas reggulators and the government will want to take a long hard look at what this means for competition for advertisers and for viewers You're listening to the sixix o'clock newews on BBC Radio four The main news so far President Trump confirms he called the head of FIFA to get a red card on a U. S. striker reviewed Prince Harry is told he can't stay at Buckingham Palace because he didn't accept the invitation soon enough Still to come, we'll catch up with the British wild card playing on Wimbledon's centre court. Things are feeling a little less human these days, aren't they But isn't the whole point of progress to make things more human That's why, at TD, when we design a product, whether it's getting you paid early or making debit card replacement easy, we ask one simple question. How does this help people That's how we're making banking more simple, more seamless, and more intuitive But most importantly, that's how TD is making banking more human. Think about it When it comes to your own food, you can walk into a restaurant, see what's being made, and know exactly what you're getting Dog food, most brands keep that completely hidden just food for dogs does the opposite They've built their entire brand around open kitchens. You can actually walk in and watch them prepare your dog's meals with real human grade ingredients like chicken, beef, carrots, and peas cooked right there in front of you. No mystery, no behind the scenes you're not allowed to see This kind of transparency is rare in the pet food world And it's a big reason they've become the number one vet recommended fresh dog food, earning trust from pet parents who want to feel confident in what they're feeding. When a brand is willing to show you exactly how your dog's food is made, it says a lot about the care, quality, and standards behind every meal they produce.

The ship was taking part in NATO's Arctic sentry program aimed at detering Russian aggression in the high North and also perhaps, subtly deterring President Trump from renewing his designs on taking over Greenland A further challenge at this summit will be how Europe can rearm fast enough while America is becoming ever less committed to defending it President Trump has reignited his online feud with Italy's Prime Minister, Georgia Mali He posted a dotored image showing Ms Maloney seemingly gazing at him with the caption restraining order needed The two leaders fell out on social media last month after mister Trump claimed that Miss Maloney had asked for a picture with him over and over Georgeia Maloney has not responded to Donald Trump's most recent post, but has previously criticized the president for his constant unprovoked attacks A sea of people filled Central Tehran today to observe the slow procession of the coffin containing the bodies of the late Supreme leadeer, Ali Khamanayi and several family members who were killed on the first day of the U.S Israeli war with Iran It's day four of the six day funeral event for the former leader Our correspondent Lise Dusette is there, reporting on condition that none of her material is used on the BBC's Persian serervice Th these restrictions apply to other international media Early this morning in Tehran, the funeral Cortes started inching its way on a route through the center of this city.
