And coming up in sportsday later in the hour on bbc news, well be live in paris as the champions the usa take on the hosts france for the right to face the lionesees in the world cup semi finals. The inquest into the deaths of victims of the London Bridge attacks has concluded. The coroner says he has not persuaded mi5 and the police missed opportunities to prevent what happened. The chief coroner for england and wales, mark lucraft, said the victims were unlawfully killed. He criticised the family of one of the attackers for not reporting his extremist behaviour. He said their testimony at the inquests was unconvincing. Daniel sandford is live at the old bailey. After eight weeks of compelling, harrowing and often tearful evidence, the inquests have concluded. They have been particularly harrowing for the bereaved relatives and some of the french families have come almost every day. The coroner revealed that all eight people had been unlawfully killed but he said there had been failures by the authorities responsible for the bridge and buy one killers family. It was a happy summer one killers family. It was a happy summer night on London Bridge that turned to horror in an instant. Christine and her fiance were enjoying a romantic getaway from paris when even did a u turn and drove deliberately and at speed onto the wide and unprotected pavement. Christine is still recovering from serious injuries but xavier did not survive. Tracy archibald was also killed. The chief coroner noted that no changes had been made to the bridge after the westminster attack chrissy archibald. The bereaved relatives are also bewildered by the fact that one of the killers had been identified by mis the killers had been identified by mi5 two years earlier as someone who might attack the uk. He was still being actively investigated when he managed to kill the eight victims. His own brother in law had warned Counter Terrorism police of his extremism but was never called back. When the men were plotting the attack in the last few days i one attack in the last few days no one was watching. The coroner held back from criticising the Security Services but the bereaved families remain disappointed. How can being the sand 7 remain disappointed. How can being the sand . They miss him . Mi5 did not stop that guy despite the signs that he was ready for the worst. But the coroner criticised the attackers family seeing multiple warning signs. After ploughing through pedestrians on the bridge, the van crashed on the killers got out, each carrying a weapon for the next stage of their attack. With 12 inch knife strapped to their wrists, moving swiftly and asa to their wrists, moving swiftly and as a pack, the name cornered and attacked their victims, two at the top of the stairs and two further down the stairs and a fifth at the end of the courtyard near the entrance to the borough bistro. In less tha n entrance to the borough bistro. In less than a minute they had fatally injured five of their victims and the small area.

Just inside the restaurant was a Junior Doctor who told me a man at the door was trying told me a man at the door was trying to stop him leaving for his own safety. I said you have to let me out. I am a doctor. I cannot watch them bleed to death. We were having this argument. I was getting frustrated. I understood him but i had to get out and i said he could lock the door afterwards. He was able to save someone who had been stabbed 18 times. Killers rampaged through Borough Market for another seven minutes, still attacking people but failing to kill any more. They were in the process of stabbing someone they were in the process of stabbing someone else when armed officers arrived and shot them dead. Although the coroner did not criticise m15, there have been changes in the way that they work but on the editor is a of resources. If khuram butt was the only suspect at the time he would have been closely monitored but he was one of many at the time. In a Democratic Society was a question as to how big the Security Service could get and mis the Security Service could get and m15 was already bigger than it had ever been.

The two leaders met at the g20 meeting of leading industrialised nations, in osaka injapan, from where our diplomatic correspondent, james robbins, reports. The Prime Minister radiated coldness, barely looking at president putin to express maximum disapprovalfor the president putin to express maximum disapproval for the cameras. She president putin to express maximum disapprovalfor the cameras. She did not give the appearance of someone ready to forgive and forget murder in last years poisonings. This will surprise some people, and attempt to explore ways to do limited business again. Theresa may had told the bbc she was determined to confront the president. Charges have been made against two individuals and i want to see them brought to justice. Russia needs to recognise its acts and stop acting in this way and stop its other destabilising activities around the world. Just before coming tojapan, Vladimir Putin used a around the world.

Their 3 0 victory over norway last night was watched by a record tv audience for the womens game, peaking at more than 7. 5 million viewers. The lionesses will now face the winner of tonights quarter final between the hosts france, and the holders, the usa. Heres katie gornall. There are some things more precious than gold. Commentator heres lucy bronze what a goal yet again, lucy bronze has proved her worth to england. This was a headline grabbing performance against norway on a night when the whole team finally clicked. England are back in a world cup semifinal. You know, ive been dreaming of playing in lyon and getting to that semifinal again. Ive waited four years and all that kind of pressure and passionjust came out in that strike. Today, there was an extra buzz around the england camp but one player still dominated the discussion. Its lucy bronze all over. We train against her every day, so she makes us better. Makes me better, as a player if im playing against her as a winger. She brings it out in everyone. Were all trying to get to her level and if we can get to anywhere near her level, were in pretty good hands. Back home, the bandwagon is growing. Singing footballs coming home. A record tv audience of 7. 6 million watched the quarterfinal, along with thousands gathered at the glastonbury festival. The match was shown, following a request from englands georgia stanway, because somewhere in the crowd was her brother. Hundreds of thousands of people watching. Apparently, my brother was on someones shoulders when i came on the pitch and everyone was clapping him, so he was loving the glory. Englands progress is being felt at every level. Enthusiasm for the womens game has reached new heights and now in a football mad region like manchester, theres nothing unusual about seeing young girls having a kickabout. I watched it, but i only watched the first half, because my dad didnt let me stay up thats what happened to me, as well. I liked aguero, who plays for city. And now i like steph houghton. Growing up, it was always the mens team with me, so for these to be able to go home and watch them on the screen and think, do you know what . That could be me, one day, its brilliant because then they get role models through that. A huge test of that progress is about to come and england seem comfortable in the spotlight. This is a team growing in confidence. Right now, they feel they could take on the world and win. Tonight, those england players will have a close eye on this marquee quarterfinal in paris between the holders, the usa, and the hosts, france.

Its its a fair question.

The leadership was nervous, not wanting to seem to overreach and independent complaints procedure. What have they done . They have suspended him again. Pending another meeting that week after next. To try to work out what to do. The heat goes out of this row for now but it hasnt gone away. Thank you, chris mason at westminster. Next week marks the 20th anniversary of the transfer of a number of westminster powers to the Scottish Parliament, under devolution. And the intervening years have seen holyrood take greater control, including over some taxation. Our scotland editor, sarah smith, takes a look now, at what the future could hold for further devolution. The scottish Youth Theatre actors rehearsing a special performance to celebrate 20 years of devolution. Theyre all about the same age as the parliament itself. Its all broken anyway, lets just bring it all to the ground. Im only 20 and ifeel thats very, very young. Yeah, Scottish Parliament only being 20 is a very weird concept to me to grasp. The idea of life without it. Its kind of incomprehensible to me. I dont really understand it and i cant understand how it worked. You cant actually experience what needs to be done unless youre living in that system and living in that country and experiencing the Services First hand. So, its important to you that your politicians are nearby . Yes so important over the last 20 years, the Scottish Parliament has grown considerably more powerful, taking control over all income tax rates and some aspects of social security. The snp led government would like even more power. Theyd like to control areas like immigration policy as well. The really Critical Power was the power to levy income tax. When a parliament levies a tax on people, it changes the relationship with them. And it also changed the nature of the debate in parliament. So, we dontjust talk about where the money is spent, but where the money is raised. Brexit has seriously strained relations between holyrood and westminster. And the devolution of powers just cannot resolve the fact that scotland voted to remain in the eu, yet the Scottish Parliament is powerless to stop scotland leaving, along with the rest of the uk. In glasgow, the castle mill Walking Group of seniors not only remember the days before devolution, they think recent Political Development could lead to full independence. Developments could lead to full independence. I think its quite a high possibility. Yeah . Is thats something you would like to see . Is that something you would like to see . Im sort of sitting on the fence at the moment, you know. The informations not enough for you to make a big decision about things like that, at the moment, you know. Do you think brexit makes the chances of an independent scotland more likely . Possibly, yeah. Because people are so fed up with it. I know i am. Ijust see brexit and go, shut the paper. Even more so now that boris is on the lead. Devolution was devised to try and satisfy scottish demands for greater home rule. But as brexit looms, arguments over Scottish Independence still dominate politics here and those argument may be here and those arguments may be fuelled by a new Prime Minister in downing street. Sarah smith, bbc news, holyrood. For once, its sun hats not wellies that revellers are wearing at the glastonbury festival. And for the first time, a solo black british artist is one of the headline acts. Our entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba, is there. Nice weather for nice weatherfor it . Nice weather for it . It absolutely is. For those people that havent managed to make it here this year, he isa managed to make it here this year, he is a quick handy guide to glastonbury to stop performance wise, almost 3000 performers and the cu re wise, almost 3000 performers and the cure will sure share a joint record with coldplay after they headline the pyramid stage on sunday. The first glastonbury, tickets cost £1 and they got free milk from the farm. No free milk and a weekend ticket costs £248. And that didnt stop them setting out in just 36 minutes. No free milk. What about water . For the first time, the use of single use plastic bottles, the sale of them, has been banned across this site. Instead, they had installed 850 taps, which will certainly be needed in this beautiful sweltering weather. That all sounds very eco me but it is estimated that the people here will leave behind enough letter to feel almost half a million plastic rubbish bags. Enough letter. The organisers stress as much as possible will get recycled. They will leave enough litter. Thank you. Lovely weather for him. It will be nice weather. It will be. We have cast our eye on the extreme south of france. I think what is absolutely mind blowing about that is that it has beaten the previous june record by five celsius and it is now the highest temperature ever recorded in france. Close to home, that it has been a warm day for wales and scotland, the warmest of the year so far. After such a warm day, temperatures will be slow to fall. It has been glorious with plenty of sunshine out and about, this was the scene in the highlands. We will keep clear skies for a good pa rt we will keep clear skies for a good part overnight, perhaps low cloud over the shores of eastern scotland and a few patches in the central belt and turning cloudier in Northern Ireland. These are the kind of temperatures you might encounter when you head to bed. 11pm tonight, 22 degrees in places and high teens across the north and west. The focus of the hot air shifts into england for saturday as we pull up that warm airfrom france. For saturday as we pull up that warm air from france. The for saturday as we pull up that warm airfrom france. The rest of the uk having more of an atlantic influence, the peak of the heatwave is behind us across the western parts. Quite a bit of cloud in the sky, some passing showers for Northern Ireland and western scotla nd Northern Ireland and western scotland and perhaps later for north west england. Eastern wales and england will be the sky, some passing showers for Northern Ireland and western scotland and perhaps later for and western scotland and perhaps laterfor north and western scotland and perhaps later for north west england. Eastern wales and england will be whether hm temperatures jumped significantly. 33, 30 4 degrees, the hottest weather we have seen so far. Not a heat wave here 34 degrees. This cold front will bring fresh air across the country and with that atla ntic across the country and with that atlantic air moving back in, temperatures will be falling closer to normal. Some showers and lengthy spells across the north and west of the uk but otherwise dry with sunshine and temperatures for most of us close to what we would normally see at this time of year. Thank you. Thats it. So goodbye from me. Now on bbc one, letsjoin our news teams where you are. Hello and welcome to sportsday. The chief coroner has concluded that the victims of the London Bridge attacks were unlawfully killed. The family of one of the attackers has been criticised for not doing more to report his extremist behaviour. The 620 behaviour. The g20 summit injapan, theresa may tells the russian president the salisbury nerve agent attack was a despicable act. And as the heatwave continues to grip parts of europe, france registers its highest temperature since records began. Ina since records began. In a moment it is going to be time for the sport but first a look at what else is coming up
