Its 8am in singapore and 1am here in london, where englands cricketers are celebrating after winning the mens world cup for the very first time. They beat new zealand in one of the most incredible matches ever played. After a period of overtime, called the super over, the teams were tied again with england winning because theyd scored more boundary hits. The outcome sent crowds at lords Cricket Ground in london into wild celebrations. Joe wilson was there. Announcer england in the Historical Centre of a global sport, the cricket world cup had, as the song goes, finally come home. But, my, what a staggering journey over a match that stretched everything. When england were bowling, it all seemed pretty straightforward three wickets for Liam Plunkett 1a years after his england debut. 241, a winning score for new zealand . Seemed unlikely. But englands chase flopped. England required controlled aggression ben stokes. This would push you to the edge, to the boundary. Trent boult caught the ball, but watch his step. Instead of out, it was six. Unusual . Youve seen nothing yet. Nine needed of three balls. Stokes sprinting, the ball rebounded off his bat, he didnt know. A glorious two runs plus four more. Two needed from the last ball, they dashed, they dived, they made one. Scores were tied. What now . Super over. England scored 15 off their six extra balls. New zealand back to bat. From the last ball of the super over, from the last moment of the most momentous match, they needed two to win. The throw, the stumps, the run out. Even the super over was tied, but by virtue of scoring more boundaries in the game, by the tiniest margin in sporting imagination, england had won. At the fan zone in trafalgar square, they understood that. It was all that needed to be known. It was a victory. After so much tension, the release, everywhere. Well, this world cup has been shared by many nations, all linked with their love of cricket, but in england, cricket passion . Wheres the passion . Heres the passion all chant england i thought wed lost it, i thought it was all over, and i was like that, my hands in my head. That is the greatest one day cricket match of all time. Honestly theres no words at the moment. Im gutted. Honestly, im just so gutted. Only respect between these two sides, only one winner. Fortune favours the brave well, thats the word thats defined englandsjourney to this. Joe wilson, bbc news, lords. Joe wilson at lords. Well as you might imagine, there have been celebrations across england, as well as commiserations for new zealand at the end of what everyone agrees was a memorable final. Heres some reaction from both sets of fans outside the ground. Yes, come on world champions, baby jof delivered we did it, and we were brilliant jofra delivered. Hes the boy england, world champions its tough. Yeah, at the end of the game i cried for about five minutes. Honestly had about 15 english people consoling me. Its one of those things where neither team deserved to lose, but one team has to. Just some of the fan reaction after englands win at lords cricket cround. Lets take a look at some of the days other news. Tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets of hong kong for more mass protests against a controversial extradition bill. The weekends protests started peacefully but ended with a small number of pro democracy campaigners clashing with police. Stephen mcdonell reports. Another weekend, another protest which ends in this way. Riot police are gathering here, you can see how many of them there are. Theyve come to clear their shopping district because protesters have refused to leave the streets. And now in their hundreds, theyre moving to where the protesters are and forcing them to leave. One thing that has definitely changed is that this was at one point a completely peaceful movement, but now we are seeing at least a certain proportion of protesters who are prepared to dramatically escalate their struggle, and that involves using weapons of some sort to take on police. Throwing projectiles at them, having polls and other sharp objects they can use to attack the police. Poles. And this is now becoming a regular occurrence. The problem is this movement, which was once one focus in only on an unpopular extradition bill, has now morphed into something else. Theyre defending hong kongs freedoms more generally and calling for universal suffrage. Many of the protesters emboldened by what they see as a victory over this bill, theyve effectively killed it, they think they can now get one person, one vote here and they wont be satisfied unless they get something approaching that. Well, beijing isnt going to give them that without a fight, so i suppose theyve decided a fight is exactly what theyll give beijing. Also making news today dozens of people have been killed as Monsoon Floods rip through nepal, bangladesh and North Eastern india. Officials in nepal say at least 50 people have died in recent days due to heavy rains. Another 30 people are still missing. The capital kathmandu is one of the areas worst affected as rivers burst their banks. The rains are expected to continue for another few days. The United Nations has called for the dismantling of all detention centres for refugees in libya, saying the facilities are not fit to house migrants. The uns Refugee Agency said people currently kept in the centres, mainly around the capital tripoli, should be released into the community. A major 7. 3 magnitude earthquake has hit the remote Maluku Islands in eastern indonesia. The quake sent panicked residents running into the streets, but there are no reports of injuries and no tsunami warning was issued. Local officials report at least seven big aftershocks were felt after the initial quake. Police in paris have fired tear gas at protesters on the Champs Elysees shortly after frances annual bastille day military parade. The demonstrators from the grassroots Yellow Vest Movement were trying to block the road with metal barricades, dustbins and other debris. Let me show you these other pictures from paris as well. Before the clashes, french inventor Franky Zapata put on an impressive show with a turbine powered flyboard. The former world jet ski champion soared above the parade. He was grasping a rifle to demonstrate the possible military uses of his device. President trump has been accused of racism after tweeting that a group of non white democratic congresswomen should go back to where they originally came from. Three of the four were born and raised in the us. Heres our washington correspondent, david willis. President donald trump didnt name the women, but theyre thought to be four Democratic Women of colour who were elected to the house of representatives in last years mid term elections. They are all on the left wing of the party, the so called progressive wing of the democratic party, and they have clashed at one time or another with the house speaker, nancy pelosi, particularly over the hot button issue of immigration. Donald trump tweeted, so interesting to see Progressive Democratic congresswomen who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful nation on earth, viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful nation on earth, how our government is to be run. Why dont they go back and try to help the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came . The only problem with this is one of these women, only one of these women, was actually born outside of the United States. Ilhan omar was born in somalia and came here as a child. The rest were all born in the United States, one of them within a few miles of Donald Trumps birthplace. Ayanna pressley, who is African American and one of the four, tweeted, this is what racism looks like. The house speaker, nancy pelosi, accused the president of xenophobia. The leaders of britain, france and germany have issued a joint appeal to tehran and the United States to halt the escalation of tensions and to resume dialogue. Theresa may, president macron and chancellor merkel say they are concerned that the Nuclear Agreement could unravel further under the strain of sanctions imposed by the United States, and irans decision to no longer observe key conditions. Our correspondent martin patience, along with camera operator nik millard and producer cara swift, have been talking to iranians about the escalating crisis. While in the Country Access was controlled, as with all foreign media the team was accompanied by a government representative at all times. Heres martins report. It was four years ago today that the iran Nuclear Agreement was signed, and here in iran there was a real sense of optimism has evaporated. A year ago, america pulled out of the Nuclear Agreement and reimposed to sanctions on the country and the sanctions are really hurting. Now we see soaring tensions between iran and the west. Iran sees Donald Trumps decision as a complete and utter betrayal. Donald trump says that the First Agreement was too generous and it gave iran a free hand to meddle in the middle east. Iran has resumed enriching uranium to levels higher than permitted under the agreement, and its threatening to carry out further steps unless it gets sanctions relief. The sanctions mean that many iranians are struggling to get by. Food prices here are going through the roof. Now, iran stands accused of carrying out attacks on oil tankers in the gulf, thats something it denies. Something it doesnt deny is that it shot down a us drone. And last week, another incident stop in britain seized an Iranian Oil Tanker off the coast of gibraltar. Iran was furious and a few days ago, iranian vessels challenged a British Commercial ship in the gulf. What all of this shows is miscalculation from any side could lead to a serious confrontation.

In 2011, the burmese government bowed to public pressure and suspended the 3. 8 billion project at the start of the irrawaddy river, which is considered by many to be the birthplace of the burmese civilisation. But now aung san suu kyis government says they are working to find a solution sparking a renewed campaign to stop the project. Lara owen reports. The start of the irrawaddy river, a waterway described as the countrys lifeblood, and the proposed site of one of the biggest and most controversial hydropower projects in the region. This is the closest jar lie can now get to her land inside the project site. Its difficult to see it but not being able to walk on it. She is one of thousands forcibly moved to make way for a dam has yet to be built. Translation i cry every time i talk about the myitsone dam. Now, i have nothing because of it. Before, we ate work we grew, there was no need to buy anything. When we were forcibly moved, the Chinese Company gave us this small house and compound. We cant do anything in here. The project, when completed, is estimated to generate more power than the entire country produces now much needed clean energy. But environmentalists warn it would do irreparable harm. Were going to lose the primary forest, thats the last remaining forest of the area. This is a main river in this country, so that not only the area itself, which will be flooded and lost, were also going to have a huge downstream impact the hydropower project is most likely to kill the river. Aung san suu kyi was part of a protest movement against the dam. But earlier this year in a rare statement about the project she said it was important to uphold past deals, otherwise the country would be seen as unreliable and investors would flee. Analysts say he faces a dilemma, given the far reaching influence china has here as a major investor and trading partner. Singing. The katchin people believe this area is their ancestral birthplace. This song tells of its importance and natural beauty. Translation whenever we sing the song, we feel like crying. If this dam project is built, we wont see this landscape anymore. Please dont build it, just let the irrawaddy river flow freely forever. We have a duty to protect it. Scheduled for completion this year, this massive project remains in limbo. The chinese lobbying to resume it, this Community Fighting to stop it. Lara owen, bbc news. Neil armstrong is one of the most famous people in human history. But when he returned from the moon, he retreated from the spotlight. But speaking exclusively to bbc news, his sons and granddaughter have given their insights into a man they describe as warm and funny and who was profoundly affected by seeing the earth rise from the lunar surface. Pallab ghosh reports. Archive and the prime crew now departing from the crew quarters. On his way to the launch pad, he was about to become the most famous person in human history. Yet since he set foot on the moon, the world learned little about the real neil armstrong. Here theyre in the suit up room. You really do look a lot like him, dad. Thanks. His son, mark, was just six years old at the time. Heres a photo. 0h, dad little baby. Cute as a button. 50 years on, and a world away, he relives those moments with his daughter, kali. Buzz aldrin lights on, forward. Basically, dads controlling the vehicle and buzz is calling off, how far down they go and how much fuel is left. Neil armstrong its one small step for a man. One giant leap for mankind. Good job, grandpa. He did not appear to be worried, and so we werent worried. Everythings going to be fine, and well see dad in a month or so when hes out of quarantine. Dad was very much the same after as he was before, and both he and my mother wanted our lives to try to stay the same after as before. And that was a struggle. His oldest brother rick told me that it wasnt always easy being Neil Armstrongs son. Everybody wants to be judged on their own merits, i think. I would have liked to have been an astronaut in the shuttle programme, and maybe i didnt because i didnt want to have to face down that comparison. At the time of the moon landing, through his eyes, millions across the world saw what he saw. In 1969, he was looking back at the earth and seeing it as a fragile resource. I wasnt alive, of course, for it, and so getting to relive it in my own generation is really, really special. Its very pretty out here. Pallab ghosh, bbc news.
