and it was no goal. it was better after the break with introductions of youngsters kobbie mainoo and cole palmer, but england again seemed flat. they still qualify top of their group, but for their manager, who even had a few beer cups thrown at him, it didn't feel like it. i understand it, i'm not going to back away from it. but it is creating an unusual environment to operate in. i've not seen any other team qualify and receive similar. another difficult night for england, then, and another frustrating one for theirfans. they now head to gelsenkirchen on sunday for their first knockout match. unless they improve, it might be their last. andy swiss, bbc news, cologne. it is one of the best third—placed teams that england will now face on sunday in gelsenkirchen and we will know tonight when the group games this evening come to a conclusion, who that will be. worth pointing out it could be belgium, the netherlands, but it's fair to say the draw, despite england's slightly below—par performances is opening up for them. on the other side of the draw, you've got france, spain, portugal. so, there is this feeling that if england can find some form and improve their performances, then there's still a strong chance that they could progress through the knockouts. but it has been a very strange feeling amongst the england supporters here and it appears at the moment they are in two camps — those who feel there is plenty to feel positive about, they are through to the last 16 after topping the group, and those who feel that the booing and the frustration is simply part of it and they feel it's right and fair that they can air their frustrations inside the stadium, as they did last night. but you feel that if england can just get that one good performance, then it will kind of unite the fan base behind this team. but at the moment they have not been able to produce that as of yet. let's bring you some breaking news. this is in regards to the constance martin and mark gordon trial. we now are hearing that constance martin and mark gordon will face a retrial, possibly at some point next year. now, just to remind you, last week a jury now, just to remind you, last week a jury failed to reach a verdict on some of the charges pertaining to the death of their baby, victoria. we can now report that they have been found guilty on a number of other charges, we were not allowed to report that previously. i want to bring in daniel sanford outside of the court. fill us in on what we are hearing about this case and what this means going forward. because re ”ortin this means going forward. because reporting restrictions _ this means going forward. because reporting restrictions that - this means going forward. because reporting restrictions that were - reporting restrictions that were imposed in the end of may, i have now been lifted, we cannot now tell the public for the first time that a jury the public for the first time that a jury here at the end of may found constance martin and mark gordon guilty of concealing the birth of a child and perverting the course of justice. thejudge had imposed reporting restrictions on those verdicts because the jury was still considering other charges. thejury was discharged last wednesday, having failed to reach a verdict on other charges. as a result of that, there was a pause where the prosecution considered what they were going to do. they have decided, it was announced today, to go ahead with a retrial. thejudge it was announced today, to go ahead with a retrial. the judge said it was announced today, to go ahead with a retrial. thejudge said he would schedule that retrial for march next year. they will look at possible other dates, but most likely it will be in march next year. and he lifted the restrictions that prevented us reporting those guilty verdicts on concealing the birth of a child and perverting the course ofjustice. viewers may remember that constance martin and mark gordon first came to public attention injanuary last year, when there was a national manhunt for them after a baby placenta was found in the back of the burnt out car near bolton in manchester. it was a very public manhunt with the police making public appeal. eventually, constance marten and mark gordon were found in brighton on the 27th of february last year. but there was no sign of the newborn baby and that baby, who had been called victoria, was unfortunately found dead in a shedin was unfortunately found dead in a shed in brighton on march the 1st last year. so, constance marten and mark gordon went on trial injanuary this year, charged with gross negligence, manslaughter, causing or allowing the death of a child, child cruelty, concealing the birth of a child, and perverting the course of justice. that trial got very badly delayed because of things lake of fire here. that is how we have reached where we are today with a retrial next march and us being able to report those two verdicts, concealing the birth of a child and perverting the course ofjustice, both of those guilty. perverting the course of 'ustice, both of those guilty._ perverting the course of 'ustice, both of those guilty. thank you very much indeed- _ both of those guilty. thank you very much indeed. now _ both of those guilty. thank you very much indeed. now back— both of those guilty. thank you very

story. the wikileaks founder has landed back in australia after a legal battle lasting many years. he had earlier in the day pleaded guilty to one charge pertaining to espionage in a pacific island, us territory in the northern mariana islands. bringing a years long case to an end. there you have the moment that mr assange stepped off the private jet and was greeted at not only byjournalists and other members of the staff at the airport, but also by his wife and other members of his family. this case, as i mentioned come out with ongoing for many years. he was incarcerated for many years. he was incarcerated for seven years, stuck in the ecuadorian embassy in london and then he was arrested and spent a few years in prison as well. let's cross live and speak to geoffrey robertson, human rights lawyer. thank you forjoining us, i know that you have acted for mr assange in the past. if i can ask you for your reaction to this news... i was very pleased _ your reaction to this news... i

information that he —— thatis published information that he —— that is of public importance. he went through a sharad in an obscure island that nobody had ever heard of. which turns out to have been in americanjurisdiction. thejudge, by american jurisdiction. the judge, by arrangement americanjurisdiction. thejudge, by arrangement and sent him to prison for a time which he had already served. thejudge, interestingly, found that he had not caused physical harm to anyone. and so much for the claims that lives were put at stake by his work... but he is now free and he is probably, in fact, i think he is appearing with the australian prime minister telling his story. he pleaded guilty, of course, as part of the deal. but it was a charade, because in the view of many lawyers, he is not guilty at all. of the crime that, the one crime that he was required to plead guilty to. because he was covered by the first amendment. now, that is the great constitutional law in america which frees the press to do its duty investigating matters of public interest. that was the law under which the obama administration thought that he could not be prosecuted and should not be, because his stories had been running the new york times. the trump administration lawyers took a different view, they claimed the first amendment only protects american journalists and not australians or british... and this was the point that the english courts leaped upon and said, proved that he was not going to be discriminated against under american prosecutors seeking his extradition could not come up with an answer. it will perhaps be answered one day, although i think he knows that the pentagon received as a result of having to settle this case will deter them from putting other journalists in peril. if

repeat cooper eight and this is a process. —— he needs to recuperate. i ask you to please give us space, privacy, to find our place. to let our family be a family before he can speak again at a time of his choosing. i think it is important to recognise that his relief and the breakthrough in the negotiations came at a time when there had been a breakthrough in the legal case in the uk in the extradition, where the high court had allowed permission to appeal. there was a court date set for the ninth and 10th ofjuly, an upcoming court date in whichjulian would be able to raise the first amendment argument at the high court. it is in this context that things timely finally started to move. i think it revealed — finally started to move. i think it revealed how uncomfortable the united states government is is in fact of having these arguments aired because the fact is that this case is an attack on journalism, it is an attack on the public�*s right to know and should never have been brought. he should never have spent a single day in prison. today we celebrate because today he is free. cheering and applause we will take ten minutes of questions, address them to the individual—

says it still wants to build a new electric furnace, with promises of financial help from all main political parties, although a deal has not yet been signed off. wyre davies reports. the steelworks at port talbot dominate the landscape. in an increasingly post—industrial world, a throwback to an era when steel and coal were king. 20,000 people used to work here. the ovens which turn coal into coke have already fired their last, and the two huge blast furnaces will soon fall silent. the consequence of losing £1 million a day, says tata steel — which has owned the site since 2007. we are haemorrhaging cash. and it's not because of the lack of efforts of the people or the amount of money that we are spending. it's simply because we have a set of assets which are end—of—life. we've got to act now in order to make sure that you have a business in the near future. ajob here is no longer a job for life. owen is the third generation of his family to work at port talbot — and perhaps the last. i'm training to become an operator on the full furnace. when my two years is up, i will be on a full—time role. obviously, with all this news, i am not sure what's going to happen then. there have been a lot of rumours, a lot of murmurs. you can imagine in a place like this with 3000 jobs on the line. there has been a steelworks here since before the war, since the '20s and '30s. and since that one went up after the second world war, port talbot has become steel, and steel has become port talbot. research we have commissioned suggests that with the knock—on effects of so manyjob losses in coming months, £200 million a year in local wages could disappear. that is £200 million a year gone from the local economy. until those people find newjobs or other employment comes in. in the same way as the miners' strike and the end of the era for the valleys, this is the end of an era for industrial south wales. not everything is closing at port talbot. imported steel will still be rolled here, and if a £500 million deal with the current conservative government is signed off, a green electric arc furnace will be built on the site. labour says it would offer a better deal — without giving details. but successive administrations have been accused of failing to plan for change. we have gotjust one or two green steel projects in the pipeline, - europe has around 40. and it is notjust europe. china, the us, the rest- of the world is also looking at the future of steel. the uk can't really. afford to stand still. the rest of the world is moving and unless we move with it, i unfortunately there might be some more job losses _ the uk is playing catch up. on the surrounding hills, the kind of green energy that could be powering new industries, including well—paid jobs in green steel. but what role will port talbot play in that bright new future? wyre davies, bbc news, port talbot. and you can see , town of steel — bbc wales investigates, on the iplayer. specially trained dogs have joined the search for the missing british teenagerjay slater on the spanish island of tenerife. the 19—year—old from lancashire has been missing for 10 days after attending a music festival with friends. his family have travelled to the island tojoin the search. our correspondent fiona trott is in tenerife and told us how the search was going. i stopped one of the guardia civil yesterday evening because we want to try and get a sense of how many police officers were working on this, because when we had been up on the mountain and of course, this is important because that's where jay's last known phone signal was traced, they told us that around that village of masca, which is about 20 kilometres square, there would be around 20 or 30 police officers working there at any one time. now, this is important because we're trying to get an understanding of how they were operating, because when we have been there in recent days, the search hadn't seem as concentrated as it had before. but it is a vast area. so we wanted to know if the searches had been scaled back or moved elsewhere. we wanted to know exactly how they were covering it because that national park area is vast. so when we spoke to the police about that on the telephone, they explained to us that, no, the searches had not been scaled back. and as you mentioned, specially trained sniffer dogs were arriving from madrid that are used to working in very large areas. we saw them arrive yesterday afternoon working alongside mountain rescue teams. so in terms of numbers, including those specialists, the police officers, the fire brigade, too. it's difficult for us to know how many numbers are working on this at the moment, but certainly it looks like they're working in different ways. the gates of worthy farm have opened to more than 200,000 festivalgoers as this year's glastonbury gets under way. one of the most famous music festivals, headliners include dua lipa, coldplay and country music legend shania twain — who's been speaking to our entertainment correspondent colin patterson. # let's go, girls #. long before taylor swift, there was another female country singer who went pop and became a phenomenon. # i'm going out tonight. # i'm feeling all right. # gonna let it all hang out. shania twain's late '90s album come on over is one of the top—ten global best sellers of all time. this weekend, she follows the likes of lionel richie, dolly parton and kylie minogue by playing glastonbury�*s sunday teatime legends slot. i'm a little overwhelmed. so many stories, so many exciting, um, so much anticipation. bring my wellies. and now i'm thinking about which wellies should i bring? i've got several pairs at home. should i buy new ones? have you got rhinestone on your wellies? i don't, i don't. should i get some rhinestones? # ok, so you're brad pitt. # that don't impress me much. people who come to watch the legends, a lot of them will wear fancy dress of the act. ok, yeah. so let's go through some of the iconic shania looks. that don't impress me much? anything in leopard print and any colour of leopard print. pink, blue, green, black and white or a classic, you know,. it can be a scarf, a hat, sunglasses, leopard—print socks. although i wouldn't see your socks. that's probably not a good idea. gloves. that one's easy. # oh, oh, oh, totally crazy #. man! i feel like a woman. veil and top hat and the sun — is that going to work? a top hat would work. yeah. why not? right? you should bring a hat anyway. why not a top hat? and why not a top hat that, like, pops up so that it doesn't take up any space when you're not wearing it? i mean, they've got those. orjust a black tie over any white t shirt works. pick one more shania outfit you'd like to see there in the crowd. denim on denim. any denim on denim. that works. that's the any man of mine video. denim on denim. # any man of mine better walk the line... when were you last in a tent? did you camp? are you a camper? i'm a big camper. right. i've done a lot of camping. i've done a lot of spending time out in the bush. what's your best putting—up—a—tent tip? sss... best putting—up. .. you know what? i believe in pop—up tents. all right — ease. honestly, out of all the camping i've done... don't be a hero. just... just get a pop—up! just something big enough to sleep in. that's my... that's my thing, you know? bring a plastic sheet so you can put it over the tent in case it rains. and bring lots of extra socks. # cos i wanna hear you. # wanna be near you. and glastonbury is on a farm. i believe you can talk to animals. explain about this. i love horses. mm—hm. i love all animals. but i'm going to go, obviously, see if there's a horse around i can borrow. maybe i can go riding. that would be awesome. would you bring a horse onto the stage? i could bring a horse to the stage! i don't know if i'm even allowed to do that. i'd have to find out... if it's allowed, i'll do it. i'd love to ride a horse to the stage. that might determine what i wear on the stage! # you're still the one i run to. # the one i belong to. # you're still the one i want for life... and finally, what kind of show are you going to deliver in the legends slot? i'd love to be able to...sing with everyone... ..sing along and be a part of the journey of the crowd. so i'm going to do everything familiar. i want to do the hits. i want to do what they know. shania twain, thank you very much for giving us your glastonbury preview to bbc breakfast. thank you so much. now another problem for boeing's starliner spacecraft which was due to return to earth tomorrow. it's been delayed while engineers try to get to the bottom of helium leaks found in the vessel. the capsule has been beset by problems since its launch earlier this month — with its astronauts stuck, waiting to return to earth. our science correspondent pallab ghosh has more. four, three, two, one. ignition. boeing's starliner set off to the international space station at the beginning of this month. it went up with engineers knowing that there was a small leak of helium gas in the propulsion system. they didn't think it was a problem. starliner holding steady in the 10m hold point. but during the flight, four more small helium leaks were identified. starliner at one—and—a—half metres away. just before docking with the space station, five manoeuvering thrusters failed, four of which restarted. the astronauts — suni williams, followed eventually by butch wilmore — were welcomed by the crew on the space station. lots of cheering here in the room. they were supposed to have stayed forjust eight days, but they're still on board as engineers find out what might have gone wrong with the helium leaks and thrusters. the problems we've seen in the last few weeks are not the kind of problems that we anticipated to be facing on the mission at this stage. so the whole point about this was putting astronauts in the loop of controlling a spacecraft, see how the spacecraft performs, all that kind of stuff. instead, we do seem to be dealing with rather more fundamental issues that really should have been ironed out by now. yeah, ijust want to say a big thanks to family and friends who've lived this. nasa has stressed that the astronauts are safe. they're not stranded and could come back on starliner if there's an emergency. but they want to get to the bottom of the problems before they bring butch and suni home. the root cause of the problem is not understood, or it's not been announced that it's understood. and so they're having to make a judgment about calling the return based on incomplete information. if you don't really understand the cause of any one failure, then you can't say for sure whether you've got a systematic problem that will affect both your prime system and your back—up and any further back—ups. nasa says it'll bejuly at the earliest before any return to earth. but when starliner comes back, questions will be asked about whether it should have been launched, knowing there was a small helium leak. pallab ghosh, bbc news. you're watching bbc news. now it's time for a look at the
