but after two nigeria misses, chloe kelly was given the chance to win the game for england and her succesful spot kick sent the lionesses through to the quarterfinals, where they will face either jamaica or colombia. we dig deep as a group and we believe in our ability and first and foremost, we believe in what we are getting told to do. this team is special — we did it in the euros and we are here again tonight and we keep pushing forward. there is more to come from the special team! we stuck together as a team. of course it was a very hard game. we made it through the extra time and we won the penalties and how we did that as a team, the team just kept going and i am so proud of them. co—hosts australia are also through to the last eight after a convincing win against denmark. caitlin foord put the matildas ahead shortly before the half hour mark in sydney, after breaking in behind the danish defence. hayley raso made it 2—0 in the second half as they secured the quarterfinal spot. australia have only reached this stage once before — in 2015 — and they'll face either morocco or france in their next match. the crowd is massive. they have been our 13th man all tournament and they are going to continue to be that. when we are tired, it helps you push through that a little bit. you can't beat it, every game has just been awesome and we want to keep doing it and experience it more and more and keep our dream alive. tottenham have rejected bayern munich�*s latest offer for harry kane. bayern had been hopeful of doing a deal for the england skipper but bbc sport understands the two sides remain apart in their valuation. the german champions had suggested, if their bid was unsuccessful, they would walk away from the deal. kane scored four goals in sunday's pre—season friendly against shakhtar dontesk. henry slade and alex dombrandt are among the notable absentees from steve borthwick�*s 33—man england squad for the upcoming rugby union world cup. england's performance against wales in their warm up match this weekend came in for some criticism. they lost 20 points to 9 at the principality stadium, failing to score a try. borthwick says the group has been picked with the intention of taking each game as it comes, and he's happy with the squad he's assembled. this group of players that we work with are some of the most competitive people we have ever met. they want to win everything, they want to win everything they go into. we will build through these weeks until we get to the start of the tournament and argentina. that will be our focus. after argentina, tournament and argentina. that will be ourfocus. after argentina, the next game will be our focus. krystsina tsimanouskaya, the belarusian sprinter who defected at the tokyo olympics two years ago, has been cleared by world athletics to compete for poland after it waived the normal three—year waiting period for nationality changes. tsimanouskaya refused to board a flight back home from tokyo when she was removed from the olympics against her will after publicly complaining about her national team coaches�* decision to enter her in the 4 by 400 metres relay, which was not her usual distance. she defected to poland, saying she feared for her safety if she returned to belarus. poland granted her citizenship last year. for all the latest, you can download the bbc sport app to your mobile or your tablet. and that's all the sport for now. governments around the world have increasingly expressed concerned about chinese influence in their politics. it's something beijing denies, but investigators from the new york times say they've uncovered a network of left—wing non—profit groups that are echoing chinese government talking points. the groups include code pink and no cold war. it's alleged that they've run major protests in london, met congressional aides, and even trained politicians in africa. according to the times — the groups are all connected to this man — neville roy singham — a charismatic american millionaire who is known for his socialist views and activism. he has close ties to the chinese government, even sharing office space with a company designed to "educate foreigners about the miracles of china". mr singham denies that he is working for the chinese government. mara hvistendahl is one of the investigative correspondents for the new york times that worked on this story. great to have you on. really interesting reporting that you and your colleagues have done here. i want to ask you about the hundreds of millions of dollars linked to neville roy singham that "makes progressive advocacy with chinese government" talking points. how exactly do they do that? it is government" talking points. how exactly do they do that? it is great to be here- — exactly do they do that? it is great to be here. we _ exactly do they do that? it is great to be here. we tracked _ exactly do they do that? it is great to be here. we tracked money - exactly do they do that? it is great - to be here. we tracked money through a core group of four american nonprofits that are flush with at least 275 million us dollars in donations. and some of that money has in turn been routed to groups around the world. we tracked money going through a thinktank in massachusetts, to an event space in manhattan, to a political party in south africa and news organisations on three continents. and then there are also a host of shadowy groups, one of them is no cold war, which organised a protest that turned violent in london in november 2021. and how are they repeating chinese government talking points? the? government talking points? they focus on messaging _ government talking points? tie: focus on messaging like denying government talking points? ti3:1 focus on messaging like denying the existence of camps in xinjiang where predominantly muslim leaders have been oppressed, or downplaying the impact of those camps, suggesting that the leaders are in fact quite happy, promoting the chinese government's poverty alleviation campaign, celebrating the anniversary of the ccp. these are themes that you often see crop up in themes that you often see crop up in the state media and domestic press in china, but now they are being funnelled through groups around the world and sort of passed off as grassroots when what we have found is that they are part of a more elaborate network. 1 is that they are part of a more elaborate network.— is that they are part of a more elaborate network. i want to ask you about neville — elaborate network. i want to ask you about neville roy _ elaborate network. i want to ask you about neville roy singham -

to go out there and tell the accomplishments that have come out of that inflation reduction act, imagine $700 billion. the 500 billion is committed directly to climate change. that has to do with energy efficiency, manufacturing, different ways to go ahead and reduce the cost of energy, all of these things come out of that big package that will be particularly helpful in states that if a tremendously hot summers, such as arizona, new mexico, nevada, all the west coast. and of course the mountain states as well. by going to new mexico, arizona and utah, the president hopes to make clear to people that from his stand standpoint the best is yet to come. the one—year anniversary, that is why he is marking it right now. at the same time, how much of his agenda has actually been enacted? unfortunately, it takes a long time. it is not as if shovels can go into the ground immediately. there's lots of paperwork to set it up. much of this has not yet begun and the administration decided to make sure that as these programmes rule out that as these programmes rule out that all the different constituencies will have clear indications, big signs along the highways, telling them that this new plan or this new programme is all because of the inflation reduction act. the administration said a hard time getting the word out to its various accomplishments. they had three major bills in the first two years that really amazing considering the sense of balance between the two parties. they have got a lot of work to do and this is one of those efforts to get the word out directly. 1 one of those efforts to get the word out directly-— out directly. i want to ask you about that — out directly. i want to ask you about that messaging. -
