Written by the British Ambassador to washington, they call the president S Administration inept, insecure and incompetent. Its the job of ambassadors to give frank personal opinions about whats happening in the countries they serve, and those are just that, personal opinions. Its not the opinions of the British Government or. Its not my opinion either. In the last few minutes President Trump said ambassor darroch hasnt served the uk well. Also tonight the shadow chancellor, John Mcdonnell, sasteremy corbyn must get on and back another public vote over brexit. One of the citys biggest employers, Deutsche Bank, announces it will cut up to 18,000 staff worldwide.

And savouring victory, the usa womens Football Team are crowned world champions after beating the netherlands in france. Good evening. The Foreign Office has begun an investigation into who may have leaked emails from britains ambassador to washington, which described the Trump Administration as being inept and uniquely dysfunctional. The secret memos were obtained and published by the mail on sunday, and were written by Sir Kim Darroch, whom President Trump tonight said hasnt served the uk well. The foreign secretary, jeremy hunt, says hes disappointed by the leak, but that the comments were personal opinions, that didnt reflect the views of the British Government. Heres our washington correspondent, nick bryant. Inept, insecure, incompetent. In secret e mails obtained by the mail on sunday, britains top diplomat in washington, Sir Kim Darroch, used the most undiplomatic of language to describe the chaos of the Trump White House and the personality flaws of the president himself. He spoke of donald trump radiating insecurity and delivered a withering assessment of an administration that was uniquely dysfunctional. In one of the messages, sir kim wrote on his recent state visit to britain, donald trump had been dazzled by the queen, but sir kim predicted self interest would continue to determine uk us relations. This is still the land of america first, he wrote. 0n the escalation of tensions with iran, he said it was unlikely that us policy was going to become more coherent anytime soon, and that mr trump did not want to reverse his Campaign Promise to avoid american in foreign conflicts. American involvement. The Foreign Office has now launched an inquiry into the leak. Its obviously very disappointing that this correspondence has come out into the open, but its also important to say that its the job of ambassadors to give frank, personal opinions about whats happening in the countries they serve, and those are just that, personal opinions. Its not the opinion of the British Government. But the president is notoriously thin skinned, and britain has gone to Great Lengths since he became president to massage his ego. Speaking in the last few minutes, he has clearly ta ken speaking in the last few minutes, he has clearly taken offence. The ambassador has not served the uk well, i can tell you that. We are not big fans of that man and he has not big fans of that man and he has not said the uk well. So i can understand it and i can say things about him, that i will not bother. With the brexit deadline looming, downing street has been especially sensitive about preserving and protecting a special relationship which, in the trump era, hasnt always been that special. The leak of these secret embassy e mails wont help. Nick bryant, bbc news, washington. 0ur north america editor jon sopel is here. These are obviously embarrassing words for the ambassador, but how damaging our day words for the ambassador, but how damaging ourday in words for the ambassador, but how damaging our day in relation to our relationship with america . M damaging our day in relation to our relationship with america . It is ha rd to overstate relationship with america . It is hard to overstate how exceptional buses, not just one hard to overstate how exceptional buses, notjust one telegram or cable but a whole slew of them, and it will make Sir Kim Darrochs job much more difficult to do. Will he have the respect of the white house now . It is an embarrassment for the Foreign Office that this has happened. So you have a game of whodunnit, but more particularly, why . Who gains from this . Donald trump is expressed in this report the fact he does not have much confidence in him direct, the only person he has ever expressed a view on being British Ambassador is nigel farage. Just after winning the election he said he thought that nigel farage would do a greatjob. You might think this sounds far fetched but there are senior people in the Foreign Office who now think that is a possibility, that it Sir Kim Darroch 20 could be replaced by nigel farage or somebody else. Those documents had a very limited circulation list, it should not be too difficult to find out you might be responsible. Without thinking, jon. Thank you, jon. The shadow chancellorJohn Mcdonnell has called onjeremy corbyn to get on with changing labours brexit policy. He says the party should come out and support a second referendum, and that hed campaign to remain in the european union. Its believed labour lost support to both the liberal democrats and the brexit party in the recent european elections, because of confusion over its position on brexit. Heres our political correspondent, ben wright. Theyve been comrades for years, but nowJohn Mcdonnell says its time forjeremy corbyn to quickly and decisively commit labour to another referendum and then campaign for remain. We need to express a view now which is clearly. As ive said, i will vote remain and i want to campaign for remain. Whatjeremy is rightfully doing, and this is one of the differences between us ijust say lets get on with it butjeremy is much wiser, actually, saying, lets talk to people and bring them together and build consensus and go for it. Echoing several other shadow cabinet members, John Mcdonnell said labour had to clarify its position on brexit in time for a possible september election. So is all this aggro causing civil war at the top of the party . Oh, no. Its myth, its rubbish. You havent been frozen out a bit . Not at all. Jeremy and i go back a0 years. Were the closest of friends. But while much of the labour membership wants another referendum, there is also strong resistance. Last month, 26 labour mps in leave backing seats wrote a letter tojeremy corbyn saying another public vote would be toxic and urged him to back a brexit deal instead. With pressure growing onjeremy corbyn to clearly back another referendum, tomorrow, trade Union Leaders are expected to meet to discuss their stand on the issue. But its not only brexit causing turmoil within the labour party, and this week the partys handling of anti semitism allegations will again be under scrutiny. A panorama investigation will air on wednesday. The bbc has not released details of the programme, but on twitter, labours Deputy Tom Watson said newspaper reports claiming that labour had warned ex Party Staffers not to break confidentiality agreements was futile and stupid. But another labour frontbencher attacked the forthcoming panorama. It is a very partial view from a few members of staff who have a political axe to grind. The bbc said labour was criticising a programme it hasnt seen and that the party has been given the opportunity to respond to the allegations in it. And of course, the terrible tragedy of the holocaust. Speaking at a synagogue in london this evening, the former Prime Minister gordon brown said labour owed thejewish community an unqualified apology. The labour party must take action immediately at its conference in october. It must automatically expel anyone who was found guilty of anti semitism. But the divisions caused by labours response to claims of anti semitism seem unlikely to heal soon. Ben wright, bbc news. Hundreds of workers in the city are fearing for theirjobs, after germanys largest bank confirmed it plans to cut 18,000 staff worldwide. Deutsche bank is one of the citys largest employers in london, and the cuts are the latest attempt, to revitalise its reputation and bottom line. Our Business Correspondent katie austin is outside Deutsche Banks london headquarters. These are huge cuts, could staff in london be affected, do you think . A girl potentially. Deutsche banks longer term problems have ranged from a falling share price to remain a loitering scandal to the profitability of certain divisions. It had been expected to cut back on underperforming investment operations, that is exactly the kind of thing announced today, significantly reducing the size of its Investment Banking arm, stopping many Share Trading activities. With it will come 18,000 job losses by 2022, about a fifth of the global workforce. It has not pinpointed exactly where the jobs will go, and Deutsche Bank employs about 8000 people in the uk and many people expect, because of the nature of the activities it does in the city of london, london will take a big hit, but that has not been confirmed yet. But it is expected to emerge in the next three days. Not all analysts say this radical move to shift the focus will be the answer to all of the banks problems, but they say it had little choice but to do something radical as it struggled to compete with the big, dominant, American Investment banks. Thank you, katy austin. Greeces leftist Prime Minister, alexis tsipras, has conceded defeat in the countrys snap general election. With the results still coming in, the centre right opposition party, new democracy, is closing in on an absolute majority in parliament. Mr tsiprass syriza party, seems to to have paid the price, for failing to oppose austerity measures imposed by the eu, in return for financial bailouts. Our correspondent, mark lowen reports from athens. A victory cry for a change of guard greeces centre right new democracy cheering its new era, winning an outright majority and ousting alexis tsipras. Its leader has refreshed a party once seen as the corrupt establishment. And, as the popular, left wing tsipras broke promises to end austerity, greece has returned to the political mainstream. Well, first of all, i ask for a strong mandate to change the country and the greek people delivered and im very grateful for the result. We won an outright majority, which was our main target. Alexis tsipras was putting on a brave face as he voted earlier, but it was almost a euology he lost many supporters after his humiliating u turn from 2015, when he pledged to rip up the bailout and budget cuts, but instead accepted a third rescue programme in return for more austerity, becoming the brussels establishment he had fought against. The rhetoric has been relentlessly anti european and misleading in many ways. So, im very happy, this is a victory for pro european political forces. This country doesnt need celebrations for a party that wins an election. This country needs jobs. This country needs investment. The worst peacetime recession of any developed country shrank greeces economy by a quarter, protests consums athens, half a million left the country and unemployment hit 28 . As tsipras defied the eu, it threatened to eject greece from the euro and sink the banks. He was forced back. Before brexit, there was talk of grexit greeces departure from the eurozone. It didnt happen, as alexis tsipras, who vowed to stand up to the eu, was defeated, perhaps an omen more another country now trying to defy brussels and a sign that, after a populist wave, the political cycle can swing back to the establishment. Greece now looks to its post bailout, post tsipras future as growth returns and the glimmer of a recovery giows. Greece has, it seems, turned a corner and left its populist era behind. Lets take a look at some of the days other top stories. Anti government protestors have clashed with riot police on the streets of hong kong, in the first demonstrations since the storming of the Parliament Just under a week ago. A peaceful march ended in skirmishes in an area popular with mainland chinese tourists. The demonstrators want the full withdrawal of an extradition bill, which would allow deportations to the mainland. Iran says it will once again breach the terms of an International Agreement designed to curb the countrys development of nuclear weapons. The governmment in tehran has confirmed its planning to enrich its stockpile of uranium, beyond levels allowed in a deal signed in 2015. Last week iran said it was stockpiling more low enriched uranium, than permitted under the accord. America pulled out of the International Agreement last year. Reports from the United States say the billionaire financier Jeffrey Epstein has been arrested over new allegations of sex trafficking. The claims are said to date from 2002 to 2005. The hedge fund manager, who once counted bill clinton, donald trump and Prince Andrew among his friends, is expected to appear in Court Tomorrow and to plead not guilty. Its three months since a far right gunman killed more than 50 people at mosques in christchurch in new zealand. Bbc news has now uncovered evidence of his international links, and the growing Online Network which members of the far right use to organise themselves, largely unobserved by the Security Services. From vienna, our security correspondent, Gordon Corera reports. He tweeted images of the weapons he was going to use, he posted his plans in an online forum and switched on a Facebook Live stream for people to watch as he began. The christchurch attack was foreshadowed online, but it was missed by the security forces. Brenton tarrant was allegedly acting alone, but he was connected to an international ideology, one which inhabits the darker reaches of the internet, a place for authorities, weve discovered, have not been watching. Tarrant has appeared in court and has denied the charges. He lived much of his life online, but he also travelled to dozens of countries, particularly in europe. One of the places Brenton Tarrant came to was austria, and his extensive travel and his Online Activity shows just how international and interconnected the far right has become. He also made a significant financial donation to one of the leading figures in the new far right here in vienna. Martin sellner is a far right activist who claims white europeans are at risk of what he calls replacement. That too was Brenton Tarrants belief. Sellner insists he does not support violence, but he is unapologetic about receiving support from someone who killed. I dont think that this donation means that i in anyway share his ideology, and i dont even think that it means that he shared our ideology or supported. But he clearly did, he supported you. Thats the question. Sellner uses social media to spread his message. Thats where brenton tarra nt encountered him. The alternative media is basically our liberation, and i think its completely turned the table around, because finally there is a freedom of information. The far right exploits the freedoms of the internet to recruit and plan. People may First Encounter extreme material on mainstream sites like youtube or instagram. Extremists communicate over Computer Gaming platforms like discord, which says it removes content reported to it. The far right coordinates on encrypted messaging platforms like telegram, also used by jihadists. And it uses free speech sites like gab and 8chan, where Brenton Tarrant posted his plans. In london, i meet another young austrian who spent the last three years infiltrating the far right, meeting sellner but also going undercover online, where shes had to pass tests to be allowed in. The really extreme ones would even ask for things like background checks, but also genetic ancestry materials that you would have to share, or even things like ive been asked to, for example, share a picture of my wrist to prove that im white. Shes seen growing calls for violence but says the authorities have not been watching. Some of these platforms have just remained, i mean, unregulated but also, in some of the cases, unobserved. On a daily basis, we are seeing several calls for violence across. Across the world. Three months on from christchurch current Security Services and Tech Companies have been scrambling to react, and one intelligence source told me the threat was far wider and deeper than previously understood. Gordon corera, bbc news. With all the sport now, heres olly foster at the bbc sport centre. Good evening. The usa have won the womens world cup for a fourth time. They secured back to back titles after a convincing 2 0 win against the netherlands. Captain Megan Rapinoe also won the golden ball and golden boot awards for best player and top scorer at the tournament. From lyon, heres our sports correspondent, katie gornall. Lyon, a city where two rivers become one and from two finalists would emerge one champion. The odds pointed towards a us celebration. No country has won more than them. While benevolence were enjoying a World Cup Final for the first time. The americans expected to be here, their confidence is almost concrete, but the underdogs were not overwhelmed and achieved something no team has done yet at this world cup, they stop the us from scoring in the first 12 minutes. The american tide kept coming and benevolence kept finding ways to turn its back. Van veenendaal again at her best. The european champions absorbed so much pressure, eventually they would crack. Var was called upon to spot this high foot, penalty the decision, and up stepped Megan Rapinoe. The us captain, as she has all tournament, seizing the spotlight. For every established star the us has another emerging. Rosenbaum has been walking highlights wheel in france, this is another for the collection. 2 0 and it could have been more, benevolence have risen rapidly in the world stage but it seems nobody can stop the record breaking march of the usa. They have retained their title and lifted the womens world cup for and lifted the womens world cup for a fourth time. Winners come and go in sport, but you champions always wa nts in sport, but you champions always wants more. We are crazy, that makes it special. We have no quit, we are so it special. We have no quit, we are so tight end will do anything to win. This world cup has not been without issues, there have been problems with var and empty seats but it will be remembered as a great success. Media interest has grown, there is a big tv audience and the standard has risen. But one thing remains the same, the usa are still the team to beat. The england cricket captain Heather Knight says they are hurting and they have to work out where they went wrong today. They lost again in the womens ashes. Chasing an improbable 270 runs to beat australia in the final one dayer at canterbury, they were bowled out for just 75, knights wicket was one of seven for elysse perry. England must now win the one off test match that starts on july 18th to keep the series alive. Stage two at the Tour De France was a Team Time Trial in brussels. The defending champion, gerraint thomas, had set the fastest time with team ineos, but that was beaten by the final group out. That included the dutchman mike ternissen, so he keeps hold of the yellow jersey. Wimbledon resumes tomorrow, you can find the order of play for manic monday on the bbc sport website. Johanna kontas fourth round match is second up on centre court. Thank you, olly foster. Before we go, Jodrell Bank Observatory has been declared a unesco World Heritage site. Scientific work began there in 1945, and its been at the forefront of astro nomical research ever since. The observatory tracked us and Russian Missions during the space race, and pioneered the then new science, of radio astronomy, which used radio waves instead of visible light, to understand the universe. Thats it. Theres more throughout the evening on the bbc news channel, including a first look at tomorrows front pages. But now on bbc one, its time for the news where you are. Have a very good night. Hello. This is bbc news. Lets get more on the United States winning the womens world cup. Lucie buckland, whos a striker with guildford saints football club, told me what the 2019 tournament means in the drive to increase the profile of womens football in britain. It means a lot. I mean, certainly across the board, guildford saints ladies, weve all been following the coverage and it is fantastic to see, its fantastic to be able to go down to your local places and discuss with family members and your team mates that women are playing football and it is getting the coverage. We are seeing the commentators have the opportunities and it spurs you on, it definitely spurs you on. The hope is clearly that it is going to inspire more women to get into football, to pursue the sport. Are the facilities there for those like yourself who really want to get stuck into the sport . I think, unfortunately, in the area that i live in, to have those sorts of opportunities locally, but unlike in the mens football, there isnt really the opportunity to progress or for it to really be advertised for women, so for girls to go through foundations, to go through childhood clubs like chelsea or fulham or liverpool, places like that, it is very, very difficult. You need the opportunity to start from primary school, from secondary school. You need the local support, you need to hear about the teams and i think funding is a massive, fundamental thing that needs to be looked at and certainly given a bit more into womens football to allow this to happen. You would like to see more money put in, more opportunities for younger players . Yes, definitely. I mean, you just look at the world cup, i think you win 13 million, 7. 5 of what the men win for winning the world cup and yeah, it seems like a lot of money. But that is at the highest level, that is at the ultimate level so if you think of local funding, you think of club funding, you need the coaches, you need the team, you need the staff, the grounds to play on, the equipment. It definitely needs a bit more and i think women in sport are doing enough of the pushing and i think it is time for them to be heard. You see women finally being allowed to play in soccer aid and that is progress, but we need more coverage, we need more opportunity and you have seen from the world cup, we are good enough. We have had ellen white scoring a fantastic goal for england at the world cup, you have fran kirby at chelsea who has done phenomenally well across the years and it is a shame for young girls, for women, to knock at the opportunity when we see how they can perform on the field. Its time for a look at the weather with tomasz shaffernacker. The weather for the week ahead is looking a little changeable. There will be sunshine around and decent weather for sure, but we are going to throw in a little bit of rain for the parks and the gardens as well. Particularly across northern areas, i think, but almost anywhere will get at least a little bit of rain. Here is the satellite picture. Weather fronts lining up in the atlantic. In the next 2a hours it will be the north of the country that gets the cloud and rain and you can see the weather fronts lining up in the north. This High Pressure is trying to push in and we are seeing a battle between the high in the south and these lows coming in. They will be coming in at different times and that means changeable weather through the week. This is what it looks like early on monday, quiet across the board with temperatures at 8 degrees in aberdeen but outside of town it will be colder and milder in the south. This weather front is moving into Northern Ireland and by the end of the morning it will be pretty cloudy here. In fact, the cloud will reach the lowlands of scotland by early afternoon. There is some rain for belfast on monday, difficult to say what time, probably later in the day. But the vast majority of the country will have a fine day. Beautiful weather on the south coast and beautiful weather along the north sea coast as well. 2a the top temperature in the south cardiff, perhaps. Great weather for wimbledon, light winds and sunny spells and very pleasant temperatures. Great weather there in london. Into tuesday, remember the High Pressure trying to build . There are also weather fronts moving and so the weather fronts are in the north on tuesday. There is a north south split and you can see, lets call it the very far south of the country, gets the best weather on tuesday. Cloudier in the midlands and in the north. Probably some rain for liverpool, newcastle, belfast and glasgow getting a little rain. But for cardiff, plymouth, southampton and london, the weather should be fine. Beyond that, it looks like the weather will be very changeable. Friday could bring a lot of showers throughout the uk. Some could be heavy, thundery and there may be some hail as well but it will not be cold
