basically, all i saw on the leadership. it started this very hour but we are still trying to get confirmation if it is still under way. the 15 member nation ecowas leadership are expecting to make a decision on what could be the solution to the situation in niger but with mali, burkina faso and guinea and now niger out of the ground, we havejust about i! guinea and now niger out of the ground, we havejust about 11 member nations and as has been the case before now, usually the first response will be slamming sanctions against such nations that have got military intervention. we do not know if this is the first step they will take but what we understand is that there will be looking at the situation, there will also consider a lot of other factors that will come into play, or are already a play make a decisive decision on the situation. one thing, though, that ecowas leaders might be careful about is this time around, making a decision that may not alienate the people of niger and possibly push the country, the leadership, the military leadership, into the kind of new alliance with countries like russia. . �* , . of new alliance with countries like russia. . �*, ., ., , of new alliance with countries like russia. . �*, . ., , , russia. that's a really interesting oint ou russia. that's a really interesting point you bring — russia. that's a really interesting point you bring up. _ russia. that's a really interesting point you bring up. the _ russia. that's a really interesting point you bring up. the general, | point you bring up. the general, when he took over, said one of the reasons he felt forced to take over was because of economic crisis in the country. the world bank says more than 40% of the population is living in extreme poverty. surely economic sanctions, whether that is from the african union, ecowas, the us or eu, that will hinder rather than help progress in niger, isn't it?

low traffic neighbourhoods, loved by some, loathed by others. they use barriers, bollards and automatic number plate recognition cameras to control or limit access to some streets. they've been set up in recent years in london, bristol, birmingham, bournemouth and more cities with tens of millions of pounds of government funding. the aim — to keep through traffic away from residential streets, lower average speeds, improve air quality and reduce carbon emissions. in some places, tempers have flared between drivers, pedestrians and cyclists. at least one opinion survey commissioned by the government has shown broad support in areas where they've been put in place, but some motorists and businesses are opposed. earlier this month, the transport secretary said he was halting funding for any new schemes in england. now rishi sunak has ordered a review into how existing ones are working. mr sunak told the sunday telegraph... "the vast majority of people in the country use their cars to get around and are dependent on their cars", adding, "i just want to make sure people know that i'm on their side in supporting them to use their cars". it comes after mr sunak�*s conservatives retained the parliamentary seat of uxbridge and south ruislip in west london on the back of a campaign focused on opposition to the expansion of london's ulez charging zone for older polluting vehicles. the labour mayor of london, sadiq khan, is pressing ahead with that after a legal challenge brought by some conservative councils failed this week. he says it's important to clean up london's air and tackle the climate crisis. he's promised to look at new ideas to help people meet the costs. after uxbridge, rishi sunak appears to have identified car owners as a target for conservative policies. but it's not clear what effect his review of low traffic schemes will have. government sources could not say whether local councils could be forced to remove any already in place. damian grammaticas, bbc news. lets take a look at some of the other stories in the news here in the uk. a man's died in hospital, after a crash involving an ambulance and a scooter in south yorkshire, in the north of england. police say the ambulance was responding to an emergency call in barnsley, on friday night, when the collision happened. three men have been arrested on suspicion of murder in hereford in the west midlands, where police have been searching for a missing man who fell into a river. officers are investigating whether the man was involved in an altercation, before falling into the water near victoria bridge just after midnight. plans for the hs2 rail line in england have been deemed "unachievable", by the government's own infrastructure watchdog. construction of the first two phases of the high speed rail line, have been given a �*red' rating, with major issues relating to the schedule and budget which the infrastructure and projects authority, say don't appear to be "managable or resolvable". as russian forces moved into ukraine last year, thousands of people had to flee their homes — with many finding refuge in the uk. one family who came to live in northern scotland are moving back to their home country after nine long months. and they're being helped by those who opened their home to them. daniel bennett reports. packing for a massive trek — it's not a holiday, but a journey back into a war zone for some ukrainians who've made their homes in scotland. and they're been driven there by friends chris harrison and danny ralph who took in refugees last year. we thought, well, we've got a big house, so we could do something to help folks that are just like us. you do things for friends. we didn't start out as friends, we started outjust as normal people introduced to each other, but now we're really good friends, at least i think they are, but they might say something different! danny's been joined by a fellow driver chris whose idea it was to take the family home. it is quite shocking to hear some of the stories they come out with and what they had to live through, it was an honour to help them where we could, and maybe six weeks ago danny was having a coffee morning at the local hall and i texted danny and i said, do you fancy a road trip. dannyjust latched on like a limpet and said "magic". their journey will take them hundreds of miles to dover through belgium and onto ukraine, they are adding a detour for a family reunion in luxembourg. i it is very difficult for mothers i who had a full family in ukraine, before the war, but they are now | raising children without a fatherl who stayed in ukraine, _ it's a really important reason why some people are going home. the children are very homesick. they want to study in - ukraine, they want to work in future in ukraine. and with that, the group have set off on their 2,500—mile trek. speaking gaelic. she attempts repetition. well done! dobre! a 700—mile drive south, and the group were ready to get the ferry over to france. they pass through belgium and into luxembourg, for this. it's long hours but in the end, worth it. after crossing poland, a reminder on the border with ukraine of difficult getting in can be. a lot of vehicles being donated to the army, some of them arejust ordinary cars. it looks like what some of these are. here we go. i'm going to have to put my phone down. finally we have reached kyiv. after a document check, they are back on the road. aye, and there's babushka... after five days and 2,500 miles, and nine long months, home. daniel bennett, bbc news. it's day i! of the women's world cup, and huge disappointment for the co—hosts new zealand, who are out of the competition.

never got through the knockout stages, they were hoping this time it would be different. they only needed one goal, that was the difference between them staying and leaving the tournament today and it was that goal that eluded them throughout the whole match. there were chances, the ball hit the post, another the ball went into the hands of the switzerland goalkeeper and many more. the crowd was excited, they were supportive, nervous and in they were supportive, nervous and in the end, they were frustrated and disappointed but they never lost the support for new zealand. i've spoken to a number of people who said they gaveit to a number of people who said they gave it their all, they played well butjust gave it their all, they played well but just could gave it their all, they played well butjust could not finish properly. i think you saw it on face here, you solid on the basis of the as well. this is the women's world cup at first, the first time 32 teams are taking part, the

you so much and enjoy the rest of your evening. england has been speaking at a news conference about one of their players, keira walsh. live now to our sports correspondent jane dougall. bring us up to speed. england play theirfinal bring us up to speed. england play their final group bring us up to speed. england play theirfinal group game in the match against china on tuesday but they are going to have to do it without one of their probable players, keira walsh. it was confirmed by the faa she has injured her knee and she did that during the previous match against denmark on friday. we saw her go down, everyone �*s heart were sent their mounts, she is a creative midfielder and the linchpin of the england squad. during the euros which england won last summer she was seen to be one of the most important players for the tournament, making creative passes and making opportunities for girls. it has been confirmed she has not torn her acl, which would have been the worst scenario but she has injured it and she will not be available for the china game on tuesday. that will be difficult for england. we were speaking earlier to rachel daly, one of the team—mates of keira walsh and she said walsh is disappointed but as a squad they are resilient and she was asked how the squad would deal without keira walsh in line—up because she is seen to be irreplaceable and rachel daly said she did not feel that was the case, they had a plan b for different scenarios but the thing is england have been ravaged by injuries and before a ball was kicked at this tournament they lost three key players, fran kirby in midfield, leah williamson their captain in defence, and beth mead, their star striker up front and now they have lost another midfield player so it will be tough, especially if keira walsh does not recover for the remainder of the tournament. also a scenario that if england lose this match against denmark, that denmark, china and england all finish the group on six points and then it will come down to goal difference as to who gets through to the knockout stages of the tournament and nobody really wants to see that because if it comes down to goal difference not many of those teams have scored a lot of goals. england have only scored two in their opening two matches and after that, it starts to get crazy with how they determine who gets through. we were speaking to rachel daly about that, she said at the moment they have two more goals than a couple of the other team so she did not see that as a problem but it do something they are aware of and it has crossed their minds will england know on tuesday they will have to beat denmark and they will have to beat denmark and they will have to beat denmark and they will have to do it by scoring quite some goals!— they will have to do it by scoring quite some goals! morocco defender nouhaila benzina has made history by becoming the first player to wear a hijab at a world cup. the 25—year—old wore the islamic headscarf as she made her first appearance at the tournament in her side's 1—0 win over south korea. the wearing of head coverings for religious reasons was authorised by fifa in 2014. benzina, who plays her club football in morocco, is the first player to wear a hijab at a senior women's international tournament. new figures from the indian government, show the estimated wild tiger population in the country is growing by more than 6% a year. india is home to about three quarters of the world's wild tigers. in 2018, the estimated population was nearly 3,000. sam harrison reports. an iconic mountain nation nestled in the himalayas. bhutan�*s landscape is both brutal and serene, and in the shadow of some of the world's highest peaks, something is stirring. this remarkable camera trap footage, proof that tigers are making a comeback here. global tiger populations fell by 95% over the past century, but in this tiny himalayan kingdom, they're finally rising again. it's now home to at least 131 tigers, an increase of 27% since 2015. in bhutan�*s capital, the key message was that this number isjust the beginning. let this tiger report be a beacon of hope in a call to action. let it inspire everyone to redouble the commitment and channel resources towards protecting wildlife in natural ecosystem. let's keep the momentum going stronger hereafter. momentum is indeed crucial, as shown in nearby nepal, where continuing efforts to improve habitats have helped tiger numbers double in the country over the last decade. this latest research in bhutan shows that it too can help regional populations, and it's hoped the tiger�*s presence there will attract more conservation projects. when somebody wants to give funding for large scale forest or ecosystem conservation, pick an area that has tigers. pick an area that has its large carnivores because that's a functioning ecosystem. not all forest is the same. biodiversity is not evenly distributed around this planet. bhutan is blessed in many ways. the path to restore tiger populations to where they were a century ago is long. but these rare images show that the tide is turning and prove that even in some of the world's harshest and highest environments, this iconic creature can thrive once again. sam harrison, bbc news. amazing pictures. much more on all the stories on the bbc news website and the bbc news app. thank you for your company. stay with us here on bbc news. hello there. it's been a promising start to the day across many parts of the country, with some sunshine, a few showers around too. but if we look out in the atlantic, this weather system is pushing in the cloud, and that's going to be bringing some rain to some parts of the country. around that first area of low pressure, we've had the showers swirling across scotland and northern england. the worst of those are moving away. so fewer showers and still some sunshine into the afternoon, but wetter weather is arriving in the south—west of england and wales, pushing into northern ireland, towards the midlands and also across to the south—east of england. and it could be quite windy, actually, for the time of year across england and wales. lighter winds for scotland and northern ireland. and in the sunshine in scotland, it shouldn't feel too bad. highest temperatures in eastern england, ahead of that rain. but it looks like that rain is going to be heading towards the oval. the morning session sees the best of the weather. if we don't get the rain in the afternoon session, it's certainly going to be arriving after tea. that steadier rain pushing its way across more of england and wales and northern ireland late afternoon and into the evening. and that wet weather continues to journey northwards into parts of scotland. further south, the rain does ease off later on in the night, but we keep a lot of cloud, so it's going to be a warm start to monday. northernmost parts of scotland a little chillier, with the clearer skies, but the promise of some early sunshine to start the new week. but the weather is going to be driven by that area of low pressure that's focusing most of the rain. we still have that weather front, though, sitting through the english channel. so cloud and rain here, moving on to the south coast at times, threatening the south—east of england. the rain affects more of scotland through the day, and it gets wetter again across northern ireland, northern parts of england and wales. but further south, maybe a slice of something a bit drier, and eventually brighter, with some sunshine. but as you can see, it's not particularly warm for this time of the year once again. low pressure continues to drive in across the uk and it's pushed in on these upper winds. this is the jet stream, and with the jet to the south of the uk, we're in cooler air. as one area of low pressure gets moved away, another one comes in as we arrive into wednesday. that will bring some wet weather, especially across england and wales. and the start of august isn't really going to get any warmer because, as the rain clears away later in the week, we end up with a northerly breeze. this is bbc news. the headlines: president putin has been praising the might of russia's fleet at navy day celebrations in st petersburg. earlier, mr putin said he didn't reject the idea of peace talks on ukraine. but he also said it was hard to implement a ceasefire, with ukraine on the offensive. the leaders of the military coup in niger say that the west african regional bloc ecowas could stage an imminent military intervention. it comes as ecowas is to hold an extraordinary summit in the nigerian capital, abuja, to discuss possible sanctions against those who've seized power. kenya says it's ready to lead a multinationalforce in haiti, where clashes between police and criminal gangs have displaced tens of thousands of people. the country's foreign minister says nairobi would deploy 1,000 police officers,
