IT'S MIDDAY ` NEW ZEALAND PUTS PEN TO PAPER FOR A NEW TRADE DEAL WITH EUROPE. WHAT IT MEANS FOR LOCAL BUSINESSES. THOUSANDS OF PASSENGERS BLINDSIDED AS BUS DRIVERS IN AUCKLAND TAKE INDUSTRIAL ACTION. COULD THERE BE MORE TO COME? PLUS ` OFFENSIVE OR JUST A BIT CRINGEY? SPAIN'S FOOTBALLERS COP FLACK FOR THEIR ATTEMPT AT THE HAKA. CAPTIONS BY SEAN LYDIARD AND COURTNEY SOLE. CAPTIONS WERE MADE WITH THE SUPPORT OF NZ ON AIR. WWW.ABLE.CO.NZ COPYRIGHT ABLE 2023 KIA ORA GOOD AFTERNOON ` A WHAKATAU WILL BE HELD THIS AFTERNOON, AHEAD OF THE TRIAL FOR THE FATAL ERUPTION ON WHAKAARI WHITE ISLAND WHICH GETS UNDERWAY TOMORROW. IT COMES AFTER THREE MORE DEFENDANTS PLEADED GUILTY ON FRIDAY, LEAVING JUST SIX OF THE 13 PARTIES INITIALLY CHARGED TO FACE COURT. THE CHARGES ONLY RELATE TO EVENTS BEFORE THE ERUPTION. 22 PEOPLE DIED AS A RESULT OF THE ERUPTION, AND 25 OTHERS INJURED. PROCEEDINGS IN COURT BEGIN TOMORROW AND THE TRIAL IS EXPECTED TO LAST MONTHS. HUGE EXPORT SAVINGS ARE ON THE WAY, WITH NEW ZEALAND CONFIRMING A FREE TRADE AGREEMENT WITH THE EUROPEAN UNION. PRIME MINISTER CHRIS HIPKINS SAYS IT'S A BIG DAY FOR AOTEAROA, WITH SOME MILLION DOLLAR BENEFITS. JESSICA SWAN HAS THE DETAILS. THIS WAS THE MOMENT PEN WAS FINALLY PUT TO PAPER. THE DOCUMENT STRENGTHENS THE PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN AOTEAROA AND THE EUROPEAN UNION'S 27 NATIONS, AND UNLOCKS $1.8 BILLION OF EXPORTS TO THE EU. WHEN THIS DEAL COMES INTO FORCE, $100 MILLION OF TARIFFS WILL BE REMOVED FROM NEW ZEALAND'S EXISTING EXPORTS. THAT'S REALLY GOOD NEWS FOR OUR EXPORTING COMPANIES. JACINDA ARDERN FLEW TO EUROPE TO CONFIRM THE AGREEMENTS LAST YEAR. AFTER INTENSE NEGOTIATIONS, IT WAS ALL FINALISED IN BRUSSELS OVERNIGHT, OPENING MORE DOORS WITH THE WORLD'S THIRD BIGGEST TRADING MARKET. DESPITE BEING A WORLD APART, WE HAVE SO MUCH IN COMMON. WE ARE TWO ROBUST DEMOCRACIES WITH THE SAME VIEW OF THE WORLD AND THE SAME UNDERSTANDING OF OUR RESPONSIBILITIES. WE'RE A SMALL TRADING COUNTRY DOWN IN THE BOTTOM CORNER OF THE WORLD. WE'VE GOT TO KEEP GOOD RELATIONSHIPS GOING SO THAT WE CAN GET ACCESS TO EXPORT MARKETS, SO THAT NEW ZEALAND CAN CONTINUE TO THRIVE ECONOMICALLY. OUR MEAT AND DAIRY INDUSTRIES HAVE EXPRESSED THEIR DISAPPOINTMENT, WHILE OTHERS HAVE ALREADY WELCOMED THE CHANGE, SUCH AS THE WINE, ONION AND KIWIFRUIT INDUSTRIES. THERE WILL ALWAYS BE SCEPTICS AND I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IN PARTICULAR, NEW ZEALAND BEEF AND DAIRY PRODUCERS WOULD HAVE HOPED FOR MORE ACCESS. WHAT CAN I SAY? OUR FARMERS WOULD HAVE HOPED FOR LESS. AND I BELIEVE WE'VE STRUCK THE RIGHT BALANCE IN THE INTERESTS OF BOTH SIDES. THE FIRST TRADE AGREEMENT THAT WE ENTERED INTO NEGOTIATIONS UNDER OUR NEW TRADE FOR ALL PROGRAM. IT MEANS THAT WE'VE INCLUDED THINGS LIKE ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY WITHIN IT. WE'VE INCLUDED THE EXISTING RIGHTS OF INDIGENOUS NEW ZEALANDERS ARE PROTECTED UNDER IT. IT'S AN OVERALL A GOOD DEAL. THE DEAL STILL NEEDS TO BE RATIFIED IN THE EUROPEAN AND NEW ZEALAND PARLIAMENTS. JESSICA SWAN ONE NEWS. WITH CONSECUTIVE HIKES SINCE OCTOBER 2021, ALL EYES WILL BE ON THE OFFICIAL CASH RATE ANNOUNCEMENT THIS WEEK. THE O.C.R CURRENTLY SITS AT 5.5%. AT THE LAST ANNOUNCEMENT, THE RESERVE BANK SAID IT WOULD LIKELY BE THE FINAL HIKE. BUT BUSINESS DESKS' FRANCES COOK SAYS THAT DESPITE INTEREST RATES EXPECTED TO GO UNCHANGED, PAIN IS STILL ON THE WAY. WHEN YOU HAVE INTEREST RATES HIKES, IT IS LIKE A SLOW-MOVING FREIGHT TRAIN ` IT TAKES A WHILE TO GET GOING, IT ALSO TAKES A WHILE TO STOP. SO THE IMPACT OF INTEREST RATE CHANGES ARE OFTEN FELT, SORT OF, 18 MONTHS AFTER THEY START. WHICH IS (CHUCKLES) ABOUT NOW. FRANCES COOK SAYS WE HAVEN'T SEEN AS MUCH PAIN IT IMPACTS AS MORTGAGES, IT ALSO IMPACTS EMPLOYMENT, ALL OF THOSE REALLY IMPORTANT THINGS. FRANCES COOK SAYS WE HAVEN'T SEEN AS MUCH PAIN BECAUSE THE EMPLOYMENT RATE REMAINS HIGH. SUPERMARKET SUPPLIER COSTS ARE CONTINUING TO CLIMB YEAR ON YEAR WITH AN 8.3% INCREASE COMPARED TO JUNE 2022. THE INFOMETRICS 'GROCERY SUPPLIER COST INDEX' MEASURES WHAT SUPERMARKETS PAY FOR GOODS. THE BIGGEST INCREASES WERE FOR BAKERY ITEMS, CHILLED FOODS LIKE DAIRY AND CHILLED MEATS, AS WELL AS GRAINS, CHIPS AND NOODLE ITEMS. THE GOOD NEWS ` IT'S A 0.5% DECREASE COMPARED TO MAY THIS YEAR. AUCKLAND BUS DRIVERS ARE CURRENTLY IN MEDIATION TALKS FOLLOWING STRIKE ACTION THIS MORNING. SCHOOL HOLIDAYS MINIMISED THE IMPACT ON COMMUTERS, BUT WITH UNAVOIDABLE CANCELLATIONS AND DELAYS, AUCKLAND TRANSPORT HAS COME UNDER FIRE FOR GIVING LITTLE NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC. TESSA PARKER HAS MORE. IT WAS A QUIET MORNING AT THE ONEHUNGA STATION, WITH FEW PASSENGERS PATIENTLY WAITING FOR BUSES THAT NEVER ARRIVED. I'LL BE LATE TO WORK BY AROUND 20 MINUTES. I JUST SAW THE SIGN ` THERE'S GONNA BE DELAYS. I CAME THIS MORNING WHEN I WAS WAITING FOR THE BUS AND THEN I SAW 'STRIKE TODAY'. COMMUTERS INITIALLY UNAWARE OF THE DISRUPTION, WITH AUCKLAND TRANSPORT ONLY ADVISING THE PUBLIC ABOUT INDUSTRIAL ACTION LAST NIGHT. WE WERE TOLD THERE WOULD BE STRIKE ACTION AND GOT DETAILS OVER WEEKEND. WE WEREN'T SURE WHAT SERVICES WOULD BE IMPACTED OR HOW LONG IT WOULD BE. THAT'S NOT QUIRE CORRECT. WE OFFERED TO GO TO MEDIATION THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY, AND LEGALLY WE HAVE TO GIVE NOTICE TO PRECISE NATURE OF STORAGE. THEY WERE GIVEN PRECISE INFORMATION ON FRIDAY. AND LEGALLY WE HAVE TO GIVE NOTICE TO PRECISE NATURE OF STORAGE. THEY WERE GIVEN PRECISE INFORMATION ON FRIDAY. 700 DAILY TRIPS WERE AFFECTED BY THIS MORNING'S STRIKE ACTION, AUCKLAND TRANSPORT SAYS 48 ROUTES SAW CANCELLATIONS, AND TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PASSENGERS EXPERIENCED DISRUPTION. IT'S NOT AN UNUSUAL EXPERIENCE FOR AUCKLAND'S COMMUTERS ` THE CITY'S PUBLIC TRANSPORT NETWORK ONLY RECENTLY GETTING ON TOP OF A BUS DRIVER SHORTAGE. IT'S BEEN A FRUSTRATING FEW MONTHS THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY CANCELLATIONS, SO MANY TIMES. UNIONISED DRIVERS FOR NZ BUS ARRIVED AT DEPOT'S THIS MORNING ` SIGNING IN, BUT REFUSING TO WORK FOR THE FIRST HOUR OF THEIR SHIFT, HOPING TO REACH A PAY LEVEL EQUAL WITH COLLEAGUES IN OTHER CENTRES. WE VE PUT FORWARD FORMULA TO GET US TO $30 EARLY NEXT YEAR AND WE HOPE MEDIATION COMPANY CALLED THIS MORNING WILL HELP US GET TO THAT STAGE. WE'VE SEEN SEVERAL PAY INCREASES OVER LAST YEAR. WE RE WORKING WITH OPERATORS TO REACH AVERAGE OF 30. AUCKLAND DRIVERS ARE CURRENTLY ON JUST UNDER $27 AN HOUR, SOMETHING THIS COMMUTER HOPES WILL CHANGE SOON. IF EVERYONE GOT $30 AN HOUR, WE WOULDN'T BE HERE WOULD WE? EVERYONE HOPEFUL A RESOLUTION WILL BE REACHED SOON, WITH MORNING STRIKES PLANNED TO CONTINUE IF MEDIATION TALKS FAIL TODAY. TESS PARKER, 1 NEWS. TO SOME BREAKING NEWS NOW ` WAITEMATA POLICE ARE SEEKING THE PUBLIC'S ASSISTANCE WITH A KIDNAPPING IT'S CURRENTLY INVESTIGATING. ENQUIRIES HAVE BEEN UNDERWAY SINCE A MISSING PERSON'S REPORTED WAS FILED ON THE 27TH OF JUNE. POLICE HAVE ESTABLISHED THE VICTIM WAS TAKEN BY A GROUP OF OFFENDERS IN BIRKENHEAD A WEEK PRIOR BEFORE THEY ESCAPED ON JULY 6TH. THEY'RE NOW SEEKING THE WHEREABOUTS OF CARLOS HARRIS (33) WITH A WARRANT FOR HIS ARREST IN CONNECTION TO THE KIDNAPPING. MAORI COMMUNITIES ARE 'BEARING THE BURDEN' FROM THE 'TOUGH ON CRIME' RHETORIC, WHICH ONE JUSTICE ADVOCATE BELIEVES HAS ONLY INCREASED COMMUNITY HARM. THE ORGANISATION 'PEOPLE AGAINST PRISONS AOTEAROA' IS CALLING FOR AN END TO MISLEADING MESSAGING AROUND CRIME AND JUSTICE. AWATEA MITA BELIEVES NON-CUSTODIAL ALTERNATIVES ARE GAINING GLOBAL RECOGNITION, BUT MUST BE SUPPORTED BY PROVIDING COMMUNITIES WITH APPROPRIATE RESOURCES. THE PRISONS THAT WE HAVE ` WHERE WE HAVE OVER-CROWDING, LACK OF ADEQUATE STAFF, POOR GOVERNANCE, PEOPLE WHERE THERE'S A LACK OF ACCESS TO BASIC NECESSITIES ` THAT'S WHEN WE GET THINGS LIKE GANG COMMUNITIES, VIOLENCE AND CORRUPTION. AWATEA MITA SAYS THE ACT PARTY'S SUGGESTION OF LOWERING THE AGE TO BE TRIED AS AN ADULT ONLY ADDS FUEL TO THE FIRE. BUT THE PARTY'S DEPUTY LEADER BROOKE VAN VELDEN SAYS A CLEAR SIGNAL NEEDS TO BE SENT THAT CRIME IS NOT OK. ACT AND NATIONAL REDUCED THE AGE ` SO PUTTING 17-YEAR-OLDS BEFORE THE YOUTH COURT RATHER THAN THE ADULT COURT ` BACK IN 2016. THAT WAS WRONG. WHAT WE'VE ACTUALLY SEEN IS THAT GIVING MORE CRIMINALS KINDNESS AND MORE PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY HASN'T WORKED. THE PRISON POPULATION HAS DECREASED SLIGHTLY, BUT AN INCREASE IN REMANDED PRISONERS IS DRIVING THE OVERALL INCARCERATION NUMBERS UP. JAPAN'S PLAN TO RELEASE CONTAMINATED WASTEWATER INTO THE PACIFIC HAS SPARKED PROTESTS IN SOUTH KOREA. HUNDREDS HAVE TAKEN TO THE STREETS IN SEOUL OVER TOKYO'S PLAN TO DISCHARGE TREATED RADIOACTIVE WATER FROM ITS TSUNAMI-HIT FUKUSHIMA POWER PLANT. IT COMES AFTER THE U.N. NUCLEAR WATCHDOG GAVE THE PLAN ITS TICK OF APPROVAL, CONCLUDING THE RELEASE WOULD HAVE A NEGLIGIBLE EFFECT ON THE ENVIRONMENT. BUT CONCERNS AMONG EXPERTS ARE STILL HIGH. DUMPING INTO THE OCEAN MORE THAN A MILLION TONS OF WATER, FOR AT LEAST THREE DECADES ` IF IT'S NOT THE WORST OPTION I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU'D DEFINE A 'WORST OPTION'. THE SADDEST PART FOR ME IS NOT THAT, IT'S THAT THE I.A.A HAS ABDICATED ITS RESPONSIBILITIES TOWARDS IT'S MEMBERS AND OTHER COUNTRIES IN THE PACIFIC REGION ` THAT'S WHAT I'M REALLY UPSET ABOUT. ATOMIC ENERGY AGENCY CHIEF RAFAEL GROSSI WILL BE IN NEW ZEALAND TODAY. A BBC PRESENTER ACCUSED OF PAYING A TEENAGER MORE THAN $70,000 FOR SEXUALLY EXPLICIT PHOTOS HAS BEEN SUSPENDED. THE BROADCASTER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ALLEGATIONS BACK IN MAY AND IS NOW INVESTIGATING ALL CLAIMS AFTER NEW INFORMATION CAME TO LIGHT LAST WEEK. THE PRESENTER HAS NOT BEEN NAMED. THE BBC'S KATIE RAZZALL HAS MORE. FOR THE BEST PART OF 48 HOURS, THE BBC HAS BEEN SPLASHED ACROSS MANY OF THE FRONT PAGES. TODAY WAS AN ATTEMPT TO PROVE IT HADN'T BEEN SLOW TO ACT IN THE FACE OF A SERIOUS COMPLAINT, AN EFFORT TO TAKE CONTROL OF THE NARRATIVE. THIS AFTERNOON, THE BBC ANNOUNCED IT HAS SUSPENDED THE STILL UNNAMED PRESENTER AT THE HEART OF THE ALLEGATIONS AND ALSO CONTACTED THE POLICE. IT SAID IN A STATEMENT. THOSE NEW ALLEGATIONS, THE DEVASTATING STORY IN THE SUN NEWSPAPER YESTERDAY THAT A MALE PRESENTER HAD PAID AN INDIVIDUAL �35,000 OVER THREE YEARS IN RETURN FOR SEXUALLY EXPLICIT IMAGES, BEGINNING WHEN THAT PERSON WAS 17, A POSSIBLE CRIMINAL OFFENCE. TODAY'S NEWSPAPER HAD NEW ALLEGATIONS ABOUT THE BBC STAR DESCRIBED AS KNOWN TO MILLIONS, THAT HE STRIPPED TO HIS UNDERPANTS IN A VIDEO CALL WITH THE YOUNG PERSON. THE CULTURE SECRETARY HELD TALKS WITH THE DIRECTOR GENERAL, TIM DAVIE, SOON AFTER AND CAME AWAY APPARENTLY REASSURED THAT THE BBC IS INVESTIGATING SWIFTLY AND SENSITIVELY AND SHOULD, SHE SAID, BE GIVEN SPACE TO ESTABLISH THE FACTS AND TAKE ACTION. BECAUSE THESE ARE JUST ALLEGATIONS, THEY MAY NOT BE TRUE. THIS IS REPUTATIONALLY DAMAGING FOR THE BBC, WHICH STILL HAS QUESTIONS TO ANSWER, NOT LEAST IN TERMS OF WHAT EXACTLY IT DID IN MAY AFTER THE FAMILY'S COMPLAINT, AND WHETHER IT KNEW AT THAT POINT THAT POTENTIAL CRIMINALITY MIGHT BE INVOLVED. HOW MANY ATTEMPTS WERE MADE TO CONTACT THE FAMILY AFTER THEY COMPLAINED? WAS THE PRESENTER INTERVIEWED, AND SHOULD HE HAVE BEEN TAKEN OFF AIR? TONIGHT, THE METROPOLITAN POLICE TOLD BBC NEWS THAT IT HAS RECEIVED INITIAL CONTACT FROM THE BBC, BUT THAT NO FORMAL REFERRAL OR ALLEGATION HAS BEEN MADE. IT WILL, IT SAYS, REQUIRE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION BEFORE DETERMINING WHAT FURTHER ACTION SHOULD FOLLOW. THE BBC HAS SAID IT EXPECTS TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE A FURTHER UPDATE ON THIS STORY IN THE COMING DAYS. BUT AS A PUBLICLY FUNDED CORPORATION, IT DEPENDS ON TRUST ` TRUST THAT IS EARNED. THE BBC HAS FACED A SERIES OF CRISES IN RECENT MONTHS. FOR SOME, ITS REPUTATION IS ALREADY TARNISHED. WE CAN ONLY FULLY JUDGE HOW DAMAGING THIS LATEST CRISIS WILL BE WHEN THE FULL FACTS OF THE STORY ARE KNOWN. U.S PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN HAS ARRIVED IN THE UK AHEAD OF THIS WEEK'S NATO SUMMIT. AMMUNITION STOCKPILES AND DEFENCE PLANS WILL BE TOP OF THE AGENDA WHEN THE ALLIANCE'S 31 MEMBERS MEET IN LITHUANIA. UKRAINIAN PRESIDENT VOLODYMYR ZELENSKY IS ALSO EXPECTED TO ATTEND THE SUMMIT, HARBOURING HIS OWN AMBITIONS OF JOINING NATO. BUT PRESIDENT BIDEN SAYS TALKS OF UKRAINE MEMBERSHIP ARE PREMATURE, ADDING KYIV'S ADMISSION WOULD EFFECTIVELY PUT NATO AT WAR WITH RUSSIA. AND UKRAINE HAS WELCOMED HOME FIVE ARMY COMMANDERS CAPTURED BY RUSSIA THEN HELD IN TURKEY AFTER A PRISONER SWAP. THE MEN HAD BEEN DETAINED FOR OVER A YEAR FOLLOWING THE BATTLE FOR CONTROL OF THE AZOVSTAL STEEL PLANT IN MARIUPOL. MOSCOW HAS CONDEMNED THEIR RELEASE, SAYING IT BREAKS THE TERMS OF THE PRISONER SWAP DEAL. THE BBC'S GORDON CORERA REPORTS. UKRAINE'S PRESIDENT WELCOMING HOME FIVE COMMANDERS AT A CEREMONY IN THE CITY OF LVIV. (SPEAKS UKRAINIAN) TRANSLATOR: THEY WERE FIGHTING FOR UKRAINE. THEY SURVIVED RUSSIAN CAPTIVITY. THEY SPENT OVER 300 DAYS IN TURKEY. IT IS TIME FOR THEM TO BE HOME. (APPLAUSE) THE RETURNING MEN WERE GREETED BY THEIR FAMILIES. TRANSLATOR: FROM TODAY ONWARDS, WE WILL CONTINUE THE FIGHT TOGETHER WITH YOU. WE WILL DEFINITELY HAVE OUR SAY IN THE BATTLE. WITH EACH DAY PASSING, WE ARE ADVANCING, DESTROYING THE ENEMY. THE FIVE HAD SPENT THREE MONTHS DEFENDING THE VAST AZOVSTAL STEEL PLANT IN THE CITY OF MARIUPOL. HOLED UP IN BUNKERS AND TUNNELS, KEEPING THE RUSSIANS AT BAY. FINALLY, THE MEN HAD BEEN ORDERED TO SURRENDER. UNDER A PRISONER SWAP DEAL, THEY WERE LATER FREED, BUT WERE SUPPOSED TO REMAIN IN TURKEY. THE MEN'S RETURN HAS BEEN WIDELY CELEBRATED HERE IN UKRAINE, BUT AN ANGRY RUSSIA HAS SAID IT WAS NOT INFORMED, AND THAT UKRAINE AND TURKEY HAD GONE AGAINST THE TERMS OF THE DEAL. THE RELEASE CAME AFTER PRESIDENT ZELENSKY MET WITH PRESIDENT ERDOGAN IN TURKEY AHEAD OF AN UPCOMING NATO SUMMIT. TURKEY'S LEADER SAYING UKRAINE DESERVED TO BE INVITED INTO THE ALLIANCE. PRESIDENT ZELENSKY RETURNED HOME, NOT JUST WITH THAT ENDORSEMENT, BUT ALSO FIVE MILITARY HEROES BY HIS SIDE. STILL TO COME ON MIDDAY ` LANDSLIDES CAUSE DEVASTATION AND DEATH IN CHINA, WHILE TEMPERATURES SOAR IN EUROPE. PLUS ` ENGLAND KEEP THE ASHES SERIES ALIVE WITH A WIN IN THE THIRD TEST. ONE PERSON HAS DIED AND AT LEAST SEVEN ARE MISSING IN CENTRAL CHINA AFTER A LANDSLIDE AT A HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION SITE. SIX PEOPLE HAVE BEEN RESCUED FROM UNDER THE RUBBLE AS CREWS WORK TO FIND MORE SURVIVORS. TORRENTIAL RAIN IN PARTS OF CHINA OVER SEVERAL WEEKS HAS LED TO A NUMBER OF DEADLY LANDSLIDES, WHILE SEVERE FLOODING HAS LEFT THOUSANDS DISPLACED. AND AT LEAST 15 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED IN FLOODS AND LANDSLIDES IN INDIA. MONSOON RAINS HAVE BATTERED NORTHERN INDIA, WITH NEW DELHI RECEIVING THE MOST RAINFALL IN 40 YEARS, LEAVING SEVERAL PARTS OF THE CAPITAL SUBMERGED. AUTHORITIES HAVE ORDERED SCHOOLS TO SHUT WITH AT LEAST ANOTHER DAY OF HEAVY RAIN FORECAST. MEANWHILE GERMANY AND AUSTRIA HAVE ISSUED WARNINGS AS A HEATWAVE ROLLS ACROSS EUROPE. THE GERMAN GOVERNMENT HAS WARNED THE ELDERLY, PEOPLE WITH HEALTH CONDITIONS, PREGNANT WOMEN AND PARENTS WITH YOUNG CHILDREN TO STAY INDOORS AMID FORECASTS OF EXTREME HEAT. TEMPERATURES IN BOTH GERMANY AND AUSTRIA ARE EXPECTED TO SURPASS 35 DEGREES. TO SPORT ` AND THE SPANISH WOMEN'S FOOTBALL TEAM, IN AOTEAROA FOR THE FIFA WORLD CUP, HAVE COPPED SOME CRITICISM FOR ATTEMPTING A HAKA. VIDEO HAS EMERGED OF 4 MEMBERS OF THE TEAM PERFORMING THE HAKA AFTER A TRAINING SESSION. IT'S UNDERSTOOD THE VIDEO WAS RECORDED AT SPAIN'S FIRST TRAINING SESSION AFTER ARRIVING INTO THE COUNTRY FOR THE WORLD CUP. ENGLAND HAVE GIVEN THEMSELVES A FIGHTING CHANCE AFTER WINNING THE THIRD ASHES TEST BY THREE WICKETS. WITH ONE DAY IN HAND, THE BRITISH TAIL END DOING ENOUGH TO GUIDE THE TEAM TO VICTORY. THE BBC'S JOE WILSON HAS THE ACTION. FROM 11am HEADINGLEY EXPECTED. EVERYONE ROSE JUST TO GREET ENGLAND'S BATTERS. OK, NOT QUITE EVERYONE. AUSTRALIA SAW MOEEN ALI BATTING AT THREE. WELL, HARRY BROOK WAS LOOKING SECURE, JUST ABOUT. CHASING 251, ENGLAND REACHED 100. SUPPORTERS RELAXED A BIT... NOT TOO MUCH. A TOUCH FROM JOE ROOT AND NO JUGGLER, JUST ALEX CAREY'S GLOVES ` SAFE. ENGLAND FOUR DOWN ` HARD TO LOOK, HARDER NOT TO. ITS OK, BEN STOKES WAS THERE. BEN STOKES WAS OUT, GONE FOR 13 AND THE WORLD FOR A MOMENT STOPPED AS HE TRUDGED OFF. NOT HIM THIS TIME, AND NOT JONNY BAIRSTOW. SIX DOWN, STILL 80 TO WIN AND SOLD-OUT HEADINGLEY SUDDENLY FELT EMPTY, BUT HARRY BROOK HAD IT UNDER CONTROL. YEAH, HE MADE 75. 21 TO WIN AND BROOK PLAYED THIS SHOT TWO AUSTRALIANS WERE UNDERNEATH IT. THE CAPTAIN TOOK IT, JUST. IN CAME MARK WOOD. NO PROBLEM, LET'S GET THIS OVER WITH. IT'S GONE. IT'S OUT OF HERE. CHRIS WOAKES HAD SUPPORTED, RESISTED, AND NOW HE CRUNCHED THE WINNING RUNS. THE MATCH AT LAST WAS DONE. WELL, IF ANYBODY AROUND THE WORLD FOLLOWING THIS TEST MATCH FOUND TODAY'S TENSION UNBEARABLE, DON'T WORRY, SO DID ENGLAND'S CAPTAIN. I ENDED UP DOING PROBABLY, I DON'T KNOW, 15 LAPS OF THE HEADINGLEY DRESSING ROOM THERE FOR THE LAST SORT OF 20 RUNS. AND I COULDN'T WATCH THE END. AND THREE GAMES OF GOING DOWN TO THE WIRE LIKE IT HAS DONE HAS JUST BEEN INCREDIBLE. AND WE'RE OBVIOUSLY GREAT THAT WE MANAGED TO GET THE WIN TODAY AND YOU KNOW, HOPEFULLY THAT'S SIGNED TO COME. AND WE OBVIOUSLY ON THIS COMEBACK CHARGE THAT WE KNOW THAT WE NEED TO DO. 2-1 DOWN, TWO TO PLAY. IN SHORT, THE SERIES IS STILL ALIVE. RUSSIA'S MIRRA ANDREEVA HAS BECOME THE YOUNGEST PLAYER TO REACH THE FOURTH ROUND AT WIMBLEDON SINCE 2019. THE 16-YEAR-OLD WINNING IN STRAIGHT SETS IN JUST HER SECOND GRAND SLAM APPEARANCE. THE TEEN STILL GETTING USED TO THE SENIOR CHANGING ROOM AT WIMBLEDON. YOU SEE ALL THE PRO PLAYERS, YOU SEE DJOKOVIC, YOU SEE MURRAY. (LAUGHS) I HEARD YOU LIKE HIM. HAVE YOU SAID HI YET? NO, I'M SHY. SO YES, THE ATMOSPHERE IS GREAT AND I HOPE THAT NEXT YEAR I WILL BE IN A DIFFERENT LOCKER ROOM ` THAT IS LEVEL ABOVE. NOW I'LL DO EVERYTHING FOR IT. ANDREEVA WILL FACE 25TH RANKED MADISON KEYS IT'S BEEN BUSINESS AS USUAL AT THE BRITISH GRAND PRIX WITH MAX VERSTAPPEN CONTINUING HIS DOMINANCE OF FORMULA 1. BUT AS THE BBC'S NATALIE PERKS EXPLAINS, THERE WAS PLENTY FOR THE LOCAL CROWD TO CHEER ABOUT. UNDER A CLOUDY NORTHAMPTONSHIRE SKY, RACE DAY ARRIVED. RECORD NUMBERS ACROSS THE WEEKEND REQUIRED A RECORD POLICE PRESENCE WITH EXTRA SECURITY MEASURES IN PLACE, AND BRITISH HOPES SPRUNG ETERNAL. HAMILTON FIRST. LANDO NORRIS FIRST. MAX IS GOING TO WIN. GOOD PERFORMANCE FROM LANDO, BUT THERE'S NO WAY HE'S CATCHING THAT RED BULL. YES, IT'S BEEN A CAKEWALK SO FAR FOR RED BULL, WITH NO OTHER DRIVER SEEMINGLY ABLE TO LAY A GLOVE ON MAX VERSTAPPEN. COULD WE SEE ANOTHER PROCESSION TODAY, OR PERHAPS WOULD WE SEE SOME CLASSIC SILVERSTONE DRAMA? IT'S LIGHTS OUT AND AWAY WE GO! RIGHT FROM THE START, SILVERSTON DELIVERED. LANDO NORRIS IN SECOND, LIGHTNING QUICK OFF THE MARK. LANDO NORRIS LEADS THE BRITISH GRAND PRIX! THE QUESTION WOULD BE HOW LONG COULD HIS NEWFOUND PACE WITHSTAND RED BULL PRESSURE? THE ANSWER ` NOT LONG. ENGINE FAILURE ON THE HAAS OF KEVIN MAGNUSSEN BOUGHT THE SAFETY CAR. AND WHEN RACING RESUMED, THERE WAS A PROPER BRITISH DING DONG BETWEEN NORRIS AND HAMILTON... THEY'RE ALMOST WHEEL TO WHEEL. ...MUCH TO THE CROWD'S DELIGHT. NOTHING THEY COULD DO, THOUGH, COULD TROUBLE THE FLYING DUTCHMAN. 11 WINS IN A ROW FOR RED BULL AND A NEW EXPERIENCE WINNING HERE FOR VERSTAPPEN. BUT A RACE PLAN EXECUTED TO PERFECTION SAW LANDO NORRIS FINISH SECOND. GREAT JOB. AND HAMILTON IN THIRD MEANT THERE WERE TWO BRITS ON THE PODIUM AT SILVERSTONE FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 1999, PROVING THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME. STILL TO COME ON MIDDAY ` I'LL BE BACK WITH THE AFTERNOON WEATHER. WELCOME BACK. SIR ELTON JOHN HAS WRAPPED UP HIS TOURING CAREER WITH A FINAL SHOW IN STOCKHOLM. # GOODBYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD, # WHERE THE DOGS OF SOCIETY HOWL... # THE 76-YEAR-OLD CONCLUDED HIS MARATHON FAREWELL TOUR FITTINGLY WITH 'GOODBYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD'. SIR ELTON PAID AN EMOTIONAL TRIBUTE TO HIS BAND AND CREW; SOME WHO'VE BEEN TOURING WITH HIM FOR YEARS.

TIME NOW TO TAKE A LOOK AT TODAY'S WEATHER. # SHE PACKED MY BAGS LAST NIGHT PRE-FLIGHT # ZERO HOUR 9:00AM # AND I'M GONNA BE HIGH # AS A KITE BY THEN # I MISS THE EARTH SO MUCH I MISS MY WIFE # IT'S LONELY OUT IN SPACE # ON SUCH A TIMELESS FLIGHT # AND I THINK IT'S GONNA BE A LONG, LONG TIME # AND I THINK IT'S GONNA BE A LONG, LONG TIME # 'TIL TOUCHDOWN BRINGS ME 'ROUND AGAIN TO FIND # I'M NOT THE MAN THEY THINK I AM AT HOME # OH, NO, NO, NO # I'M A ROCKET MAN # ROCKET MAN, BURNING OUT HIS FUSE UP HERE ALONE # AND I THINK IT'S GONNA BE A LONG, LONG TIME THANKS FOR JOINING US.
