And they suffered the agony of their captain Steph Houghton missing a late penalty that would have brought the scores level and taken them to extra time. My colleague clive myrie was at the match. Disallowed england goal, missed penalty chance and a red card meant that 0ttoman dream was over. There tournament dream. The american side i Will Champion and now hot favourite to retain their title. For england fans there is a corner of every city they can call home. It is usually the noisiest. And this time they have something to think about. Absolutely massive, a turning point in history for womens football. Absolutely massive, a turning point in history for womens footballli am positive and i cant wait to look you guys in the eye and say sorry. America other superstars of womens football. England new it would take an heroic effort to knock them off their perch. The usa has a level of support unmatched in womens body. This is like a home away from home. Meaning england face an opponent on and off the page. The usa left their biggest player out of the biggest game but this is a revolving door of talent. No problem, christen press. England facing an uphill battle. The england facing an uphill battle. The england of old mightve wilted under the pressure instead they hit back. Beth made finding ellen white for her six goal of the tournament. The england manager urged calm there is no keeping america quite philon. Another cross, another header. Alex morgan does not miss this. Just as the usa to be moving up the gears, there was ellen white. England had wrestled back control, until the var intervene. It inched the us closer. Minutes later, var was cold again. Ellen white once more at the centre of things. Penalty was the decision. It was a moment or england captain to step up but Steph Houghton failed to step up but Steph Houghton failed to rise to the challenge. Emotions we re to rise to the challenge. Emotions were running high and it was all starting to unravel. Commentator millie bright and here comes the red. There would be no fairy tale finish for england for the third major tournament in a row, they have lost in the semifinals. So much hurt for the players who have generated so for the players who have generated so much hope. The coach, phil neville has been giving his reaction. My players give me everything. We said before the game, we wanted to leave our hearts and soul on that pitch and we did. We gave everything. We have gone toto with the best team in the world. Toe to toe. We went down to ten men and probably just ran toe to toe. We went down to ten men and probablyjust ran out of steam. Around 50,000 fans packed the stadium here in lyon. I can tell you the atmosphere was absolutely incredible and there have been parties in pubs and restaurants across many parts of the uk, watching the game this evening but, of course, a lot of the celebrations people were hoping to have now turn to sadness and sorrow is have been drowned as a result of the loss. Short of being in lyon itself, this was one of the best places to watch the action, Battersea Park in south london, where the crowd lived through every twist and turn of the game. Everyone jumped up and was cheering, really excited, it was great. It was great, yeah, its a beautiful venue, Perfect Place to watch it, amazing. Their spirit for both countries is still really prevalent so im really enjoying myself. Across the uk on sofas and in bars, more than 23 Million People have followed the competition on tv, double the number who watched four years ago. Here in liverpool, it is personal. Four of the lionesses come from merseyside alone. In fact, more than half of the entire squad hail from the north of england. Over the pennines, the Sheffield United womens team watched at their training ground. In liverpool, the crowd despaired during the tough moments of the second half and after the final whistle, the loss sank in. They tried so hard and they almost won it, devastating. Theyre playing against the worlds best team ever, a fantastic performance. I dont think the best team won, to be honest. I think theyve done the country proud again. Disappointment, then, as the lionesses lost out but pride, too, in the performance they put in. Judith moritz, bbc news. Lets get the perspective of dan roan who is pitch side. There was so much hope and expectation for the lionesses but the game seemed to turn ona lionesses but the game seemed to turn on a number of controversial decisions . No doubt that glenn can count themselves somewhat u nfortu nate. Count themselves somewhat unfortunate. England. Phil neville felt they had the momentum and confident and talent to do it. To fall at this stage a real sense of disappointment and opportunity lost and despite the resilience and determination they have now failed to get past a semi final stage in the last world cup, the euros and 110w the last world cup, the euros and now tonight. Having said that, there is no doubt they are getting closer to the United States, the reigning champions who set the standard in the womens game and there is an awful lot to be encouraged by. They are all models, performed admirably and in terms of the profile of the team, the recognition, shifting perceptions, i think new household names have been created. People did not know who ellen white was before this tournament and they do now. Phil neville and the association can ta ke phil neville and the association can take great credit. When it comes to attendance, girls and women participating in football and other sports, that in turn can lead to other equality financially when it comes to the future of the sport. The journey may be over in france but the future looks bright for this team. That is it on a disappointing night here in lyon. The final to be played on sunday will involve the United States who will take on either the netherlands or sweden who play their semi final tomorrow. Well, these fans spent the evening watching at Battersea Park and spoke about the disappointment. They could have done it but. Disappointed. It isa shame, have done it but. Disappointed. It is a shame, a real shame. Devastated. I mean, that penalty, just lazy. Just gutted but very proud. It isjust england. Look at the crowd here tonight, would not had these four years ago and thats pretty good. England fans in battersea. Eu leaders have for the first time chosen a woman to be the next head of the european commission. The job looks set to go to the German Defence minister, ursula von der leyen. Today the European Parliament met for the First Time Since elections in may. The new Brexit Party Meps staged a protest by turning their backs during the eus 0de tojoy anthem, while lib dem meps wore yellow stop brexit t shirts. Adam fleming reports from strasbourg. Day one of the new European Parliament. The Brexit Party Meps dont want to be here, and they didnt want to hear this. Music ode to joy. Its unlikely theyll get into trouble, and it sounds like theres more to come. 0ur anger is not really against these people. I mean, monsieur barnier has done a brilliantjob. 0ur anger is really about westminster not delivering on the referendum. Defiance from the lib dems, too. Their t shirts said stop brexit on the front. Something much ruder on the back. The real message was on the front and thats what everybody saw on their tv cameras when they were looking at the opening of parliament, stop brexit. The time for stunts is over and now its time for meps to get to work their firstjob is electing a president for the parliament. In brussels, exhausted National Leaders ended three days of talks about the top jobs and the other bits of the eu. They suggested the German Defence minister ursula von der leyen to run the european commission, which monitors whether countries are sticking to eu rules. The belgian Prime Minister, charles michel, will chair future summits as president of the council. The International Monetary fund boss Christine Lagarde has been lined up to run the European Central bank, and the Spanish Foreign minister will manage eu foreign policy. A perfect gender balance. I am really happy about it. After all, europe is a woman. I think it was worth waiting for such an outcome. But divisions geographical, political and personal have been on dramatic display as the European Union gears itself up for the next five years. Adam fleming, bbc news, strasbourg. Police are trying to identify the body of a suspected stowaway who fell from a plane and landed in a garden in south west london, landing next to a man sunbathing. 0fficers believe the person fell from a Kenya Airways flight as it opened its landing gear on the approach to heathrow. Heres our special correspondent lucy manning. Coming into land at heathrow on sunday, but minutes earlier, from beneath this Kenyan Airways plane, a body had fallen to the ground. The man fell thousands of feet into a garden in clapham. A small crater visible. It is a desperate act, to stow away on a plane, and he didnt survive. The body, described as an ice block, just missed a man who was sunbathing in the garden. Neighbours are reported to have said they heard an almighty bang and that a man had fallen from the sky. The man who was sunbathing in the garden has been left badly shaken by what he saw and the narrown miss that could have killed him as well. The Kenya Airways flight left nairobi on sunday morning at 7 19 british time, at the start of a nine hour, 4000 mile trip. It was at 3500 feet when the body fell. The plane flying over 0fferton road at 3 36pm, and landing at heathrow just six minutes later. This has happened in the past. We have heard about it happening in richmond. Now it has just happened here. It is quite frightening, it has happened so close as well. Unfortunate, the poor chap. A bbc documentary about a man who fell to his death in 2012 showed how stowaways get into aircraft. And he would have had to climb up as quickly as possible, along this bit of metal and then into the wheel arch. The temperatures down to 60 celsius, and the partial pressure of oxygens not enough to sustain life, so the stowaway will pass out at about 20,000 feet and then they will die above 30,000 feet. Then, on the approach to land, the gear comes down and they probably fall out of the aircraft and fall of their death, if they are not already dead. A bag, water and some food were discovered by the landing gear. They were not enough to keep the stowaway alive. Lucy manning, bbc news. The headlines on bbc news englands lionness are out of the world cup. They have been beaten 2 1 by the defending champions, the usa, in lyon tonight. The eus leaders have reached a tentative deal on who should hold the most prominent positions for the next five years, but the package still faces approval from the European Parliament. An investigation is underway after a stowaway fell from this plane into a london garden. The bbc has defended the wages of its top presenters and senior staff, whilst also planning to end free tv licences for millions of over 75s. The annual report revealed the number of people earning over £150,000 a year has risen, but the Corporation Said it was paying the market rate. This years annual report includes three women in the top ten earners for the first time. Here is our media editor amol rajan. The roll call of top earners among the bbcs on air staff shows salaries that are many, many multiples of the average take home pay in the uk. It includes some people who have left the bbc, such as chris evans, and comes just a few weeks after the Corporation Said only those over 75 and on pension credit would get a free tv licence from next june. Lord hall. Its boss insists the bbc operates frugally in a tough market. Im thinking about people watching this in huddersfield and rochdale and rochester, who are thinking, hang on a second. Youre paying gary lineker £1. 75 million. Youre taking this benefit away from me at the same time. Why dont you just pay some of these famous people for less . Because theyd do it for less. I understand the dilemma of somebody whos thinking, im having the licence fee taken away from me. Of course i do. Im sensitive to that, i understand that. 0n the other hand, what comes back from our consultation is we also want to make sure that youve got stars who we want to watch and want to listen to on the bbc, and that includes gary lineker. The list published today reveals the salaries of bbc staff paid over £150,000, and includes me. Most bbc staff are producers, researchers or administrators on conventional Public Sector salaries. They include women who are still embroiled in grievances over equal pay. The bbcs gender pay gap has fallen, and there are now three women in the top ten salary brackets. The bbc is buffeted by forces both global and local. Wealthy competitors are driving hyper inflation in sport and drama, putting its very Business Model under strain. Meanwhile, as a public broadcaster in polarised times, its every commercial and editorial decision faces unprecedented scrutiny. The question of who should pay reflects britains generational divide. For people over the age of is it 75, i think, if they can afford it, then they can pay for it. I want to see something from the bbc in cutting back their wages bill. I want to see them make a contribution, as well as asking for an extra contribution from the over 75s. The bbcs lifeblood is public love and affection. For all the changes it has made, these salary disclosures jeopardise that. Amol rajan, bbc news. The two conservative leadership candidates have faced questions from Party Members in Northern Ireland, with brexit dominating the agenda. One of the most controversial parts of the Withdrawal Agreement is the so called backstop, an insurance policy to avoid any new checks or controls on the irish border after brexit if a trade deal cant be agreed. It would mean the whole of the uk would continue to share customs arrangements with the eu, and Northern Ireland would remain in the eus Single Market for goods, meaning no custom checks for goods crossing the border. Bothjeremy hunt and borisjohnson are seeking substantial changes to this arrangement, which the eu has previously refused to agree to. Here is our ireland correspondent emma va rdy. What will the future look like with a new Prime Minister . Whether its deal or no deal, just get on with it. Here in belfast, there is no escaping the reality that a new Prime Minister will have to deal with the bumpy is part of brexit so far how to avoid checks on goods across the irish border. Far how to avoid checks on goods across the irish borderlj far how to avoid checks on goods across the irish border. I dont think boris orjeremy want to have an easier ride than theresa may, to be honest. So if could make you virtual Prime Minister . be honest. So if could make you virtual Prime Minister . I would head back and just delete the whole programme and start fresh from level one. Very nice to meet you. The candidates had virtually pledged to dojust candidates had virtually pledged to do just that. Both want to persuade the eu to dig the so backstop, which could mean Northern Ireland having to follow different rules from the rest of the uk. That has to change, and we have to find a different solution. And i think it will be a Technology Lead solution, what the germans call an invisible border. Borisjohnson germans call an invisible border. Boris johnson wants to germans call an invisible border. Borisjohnson wants to solve it through a separate trading agreement with the eu, or leave with no deal. Solve the border issues where they belong, logically, in the context of the fda that we are going to make. The biggest critics of the backstop, Northern Irelands democratic unionist party, would be brought back into the brexit negotiating tea m back into the brexit negotiating team underjeremy hunt. We need to persuade the eu that we have a coalition that can get a majority through parliament, and we do depend on that partnership fta. through parliament, and we do depend on that partnership fta. If we didnt have the dup, then im afraid the truth is we would have jeremy corbyn, who has an agenda to break up corbyn, who has an agenda to break up the union. Who are you referencing . Boris. Why is that . Because i think he is wonderful. Referencing . Boris. Why is that . Because i think he is wonderfullj because i think he is wonderful. think that is important for Northern Ireland. Although the conservative party doesnt have a single mp here in Northern Ireland, they are about 500 Party Members who will be voting next week. I thought jeremy hunt a nswered next week. I thought jeremy hunt answered the questions, and boris waffled with everything. They both wa nt to waffled with everything. They both want to do away with the backstop. Do you think they good . They are saying tech solution, but that is a generic term that nobody understands. After todays hustings, it was Boris Johnson who understands. After todays hustings, it was borisjohnson who went understands. After todays hustings, it was Boris Johnson who went to meet uup leader arlene foster, and whoever becomes leader, the relationship with her could be crucial. Hong kong is still grappling with the aftermath of mondays unprecedented Anti Government protests. There are signs that the mood in beijing is hardening. Chinese offcials have condemned the protests as an undisguised challenge to its rule by violent offenders. Rupert Wingfield Hayes reports from hong kong. Today, hong kongs parliament is a crime scene, cordoned off with police tape. The question now what will the Hong Kong Government do to those who caused this destruction . These scenes broadcast live on Hong Kong Television have left this city stunned and divided. Tonight, i met with one of the young men who stormed the parliament on monday. He is unrepentant. Translation we should use even more violent means to gain more bargaining power. However small the chance of winning, we are fighting for our future. If we are fighting for our future. If we cant get these basic things, then hong kong is finished. Chinas state television called on the hong kong authorities to investigate what it called the criminal responsibility of violent offenders for serious illegal actions. While some are vowing to stay and fight, others like ken and his family are choosing to leave. They are planning to go to malaysia. The rent on their little shop keeps going up, but ken says it is the erosion of Political Freedoms that has made up their mind. Translation we feel the oppression from the government. We are enjoying fewer human rights and freedoms. When we have a child, i dont want him or her to grow up in a society like this. Hong kongs leaders say they are shocked at what has happened here, but they have grossly underestimated the growing anger at a political system imposed by britain and china, which many hong kongers feel does not represent them. 0n the first day of the contaminated blood hearings in edinburgh, victims and relatives have spoken out, describing what they say was a coalition of secrecy and a genuine attempt to obscure what happened. Dai griffiths, who contracted hepatitis c, said more honesty could have led to better treatments and saved many lives. Thousands of patients were infected with hiv and hepatitis c via contaminated blood products in the 1970s and 1980s. Here is our Health Editor hugh pym. Alistair, when he was about to start at university, with the car shared with his sister. But he never got to do his final exams. He died at 22, with hiv aids. That was because of treatment as a young boy for haemophilia with infected blood products. It was only an impersonal letter some years later which told his parents he had been exposed to the virus, after tests they didnt know had happened. We learned that he had a potentially fatal, untreatable condition. And it manifested, really, in those early years. When he was 1a, 15, 16, he was hugely angry a lot of the time. His mother believes she was infected with hepatitis while caring for him. She thinks the government shouldnt have allowed treatment with imported blood products from paid donors. We suspect it was a political decision. That we wont bother with those people. Well spend our money on Something Else and not do this. Well get the stuff from america its cheaper. There was a Public Inquiry in scotland under the judge lord penrose, with the final report in 2015. But it had limited powers, and campaigners demonstrated their contempt, branding it a whitewash. After the penrose report, the Scottish Government increased Financial Assistance for victims. The government at westminster did the same for england just a couple of months ago. The Haemophilia Society said that meant support for those in wales and Northern Ireland remained woefully inadequate. Some, like dai, believe there was a coalition of secrecy. The scottish hospital where he was treated didnt tell him for nine years he had hepatitis c. Had there been more openness and honesty, better treatments could possibly have developed more quickly, and perhaps many lives could have been saved and many more lives less blighted. The judge said this was an inquiry without borders, but there was not the luxury of time, as people continue to suffer and die. Hugh pym, bbc news, edinburgh. Tennis, and andy murray has announced he will partner Serena Williams in the mixed doubles at wimbledon. Last month he returned to the court after a career threatening hip operation. Meanwhile, british number one Johanna Konta breezed through to the second round today in straight sets. Here is Natalie Pirks with all the action. For years, day two at wimbledon was known as ladies day. Today, it got an upgrade to duchess. There is no royal box out on court 1a, though added pressure for britains harriet dart. She needed three sets, but got the better of the skilful christina mchale. Shes done it Johanna Konta is fresh from a surprise semifinal in the french open, and against romanias ana bogdan, she was starting to find her rhythm. And that backhand was a bullet. Two crucial breaks in the second brought a straight sets win. It was harder than it appeared, though. It was very tough out there. I think neither of us felt quite comfortable, and just trying to find ourfeet, and it definitely wasnt easy. In fact, there were eight brits in action today, but none have a better story than pauljubb. Raised by his gran in hull, he has just followed in the footsteps of the likes of connors and mcenroe to win the Us College Championship and earn himself a well deserved wild card. Getting to round one would have earned 19 year old jubb £45,000, but his us scholarship rules apparently mean he cant claim the cash. This has been an experience money cant buy, though, despite the eventual four set defeat to portugalsjoao sousa. Three other britons made round two, though, including jay clarke, who set up a plum tie against wimbledon royalty. Yes, he will now face roger federer, who lost the first set against south africas lloyd harris, but he got over his wobble to be king of centre court as usual. And Serena Williams made light work of italys giulia monticone. And now it is official she will play mixed doubles with andy murray, excitement levels are building. Natalie pirks, bbc news, wimbledon. And we will be taking an in depth look at the papers with our reviewers, brexit editor at the telegraph asa bennett and head of news at the huffington postjess brammar. That is coming up after the headlines at 11 30pm. Next well be looking at the weather for the week ahead. But before that, lets end the programe with the lights literally going out. A very rare sight, this is a total eclipse of the sun. It was witnessed by hundreds of thousands of people in south america. A Solar Eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the earth and the sun, plunging the planet into darkness. If you were in chile or argentina, then you had the best view. Now its time for the weather, with susan powell. Hello. We have a lot of settle whether in our forecast in the short term. Until the end of the weekend. After that, the forecast becomes harder to pin down, and i will explain to you why that is in just a moment. In the shorter term, though, the next five days, this area of High Pressure very much the dominant feature in our story. We will see some fronts trying to trickle into the north, but the high is going to meana the north, but the high is going to mean a lot of dry weather through the next five days. Most of us will see some pleasant sunshine, and our temperatures around average for the time of year. Behind we had last week plunged into continental air. Taking a look at wednesday, we are looking at temperatures mid teens across the central swathe of scotland, up into the low
