this kind of orbit. for scientific reasons, that is because the spaceship is going to try and what is the first of a soft landing on the movements of the poor and it helps to find evidence of water there. there will be very useful perhaps necessary is going to be a permanent shipment based on the moon that has nothing to do with this prestige. the mission was launched while russia was under section and it cannot get some of the technical parts and needs with things like this when the rocket was launched, it is slow chance success and if could carry out the first soft landing on the south pole intersections without those parts, they considered the strongest country is, that putin can show off about it and we can do this in the sections. however, conversely, the mission was to fail, russia really might look bad and it's certainly not good for the prestige of the president, vladimir putin. let's take you to israel now where the military has launched a major manhunt for a suspected

final. neither team has ever had it this far in the tournament. our reporter in madrid sergi forcada filed this report. excitement is building ahead of the first vinyl in the world cup and during the match, there will be parties and fan zones across the country and possibly the biggest one will be here in madrid with 6000 fans watching the finals together. already, but of the main fountains in the city has been lit up and yellow and yellow and the colours of the spanish flag. a women's football, it's already been rising in spain for the past few years and many believed that victory will give it a boost and will be a turning point, despite the controversies between the managers in the squats. the players are seen as idols for many. i was raised here in spain and if when i was kid in us of my classmates to name a female football player, we would not of been able to give you an answer. now, things are changing if he has the same question the boys and girls club of been able to give you an answer. now, things are changing if he has the same question to boys and girl, they can give you the name of the list, of at least a few female players. and football in terms of salaries and coverage and today, those making the headlines of the women and what's more important for the spanish fans, they arejust 90 more important for the spanish fans, they are just 90 minutes away from bringing the world cup home. sergi forcada in madrid. now, behind the scenes, there's been plenty of turmoil at la roja. shaimaa khalil now takes a look at spain s dramaticjourney to the final and how this tournament has inspired the younger generation. and done! gabi lopez has been following his national team's phenomenal rise in the women's world cup down under. as a former player in spain's second division, this final hits very close to home. i've been watching the tv in spain, the radio, and everybody was talking about the final. everybody. my family were commentating. i've never seen that before. i'm still playing, i'm a coach, and i can say now, i can see aitana, alexia, jennifer and i can say, wow, they are amazing. so i think for the kids, for the coaches, for the players, it's amazing that women's football is that big. you wouldn't notice it at first glance, but this team, now one win away from world cup glory, has been marred by so much tension and unrest. at the centre of that is head coachjorge vilda. tensions followed last year's euros defeat against england, with 15 players threatening to quit over concerns about his training methods and inadequate game preparation. cracks were obvious after their humiliating loss against japan. all through the tournament, the deep divisions threatened to spill over on the pitch. it has been a rough year for them, between the players, with the coach. and i think they have just understood that they have to just lay that on one side and just be focused on the world cup, trying to get the best of themselves on the pitch, and i think they have really achieved it. spain managed to write a different story on the pitch. it's a squad that delivers beautiful football, a team chock full of talent who mostly come from barcelona's dominant women's team. the teenage star salma paralluelo, a former runner, has scored in the quarter and semifinals and is now one of the standout players of this tournament. salma paralluelo, i think it's crazy that she'sjust19 years old and she'sjust been fully committed to football for one year. probably she will be one of the best players in the next years. spain's team has exceeded expectations at every crucial junction of this tournament. they've managed to put deep differences aside and create memorable moments on the pitch. they now face england, a formidable foe, for a chance to lift that trophy for the first time. but no matter what the result is, this women's world cup has inspired a whole new generation of young players. it's a testament to how far the women's game has come that many of the players who grew up with only male role models have now themselves become idols. now there's a real opportunity to get into soccer, like there's somewhere to go afterwards. i think that women's popularity has improved a lot. it'sjust been really inspiring - to watch them break so many records. the countdown to the final is on, and there are some very strong opinions here. spain. england. spain. england! shaimaa khalil, bbc news, sydney. 6am for those on the east coast of the united states in an early wake—up call there. stay with us on bbc news. hello there. certainly was quite an eventful start to our weekend with storm betty pushing north, bringing heavy rain and strong winds. a pretty grey and blustery start in northern ireland. here we had 46 millimetres of rain from storm betty, but the story improved and actually we had some sunshine and some warmth coming through by the end of the afternoon, temperatures in lincolnshire peaking at 25.9 celsius. so this was the story then on saturday with storm betty anchored to the north west, starting to drift its way a little bit further westward. so as we go through the day on sunday, we will have more cloud the further north and west and a few scattered showers to begin with. and then into the afternoon, perhaps some more showers developing across west and half of england and wales. further east, drier settled with some sunshine and temperatures, well, 17 to 21 degrees for scotland and northern ireland, perhaps peaking at 2a or 25 degrees, 77 fahrenheit for england and wales into the first part of next week. low pressure will move in from the north and it will bring showers or longer spells of rain across scotland and northern ireland. some blustery winds as well. for england and wales, it stays largely dry with showers fairly isolated and with a south—westerly wind direction, those temperatures will start to climb and to feel quite pleasant. in actualfact, temperatures peaking at 26 degrees here, 16 to 21 under the cloud and the rain. a similar story as we move into tuesday. always the risk of some showers continuing into the far north and west and a few along west facing coasts. but there'll be plenty of sunshine and plenty of warmth. it will feel quite pleasant. once again, those temperatures peaking widely into the mid 20s across central and southern england. but by the middle part of the week we are expecting a change of weather front could potentially bring some wetter weather and as this drifts its way steadily eastwards, the wind direction will swing around to a fresher northwesterly. so that means that we're going to lose some of that warmth. the russet tones disappear back to the near continent. it will be a cooler story towards the end of the working week. so further north it looks likely it will stay cool and showery at times with temperatures mid to high teens. but even across england and wales and no small difference to the feel of the weather, although we might not see that much rain in the far south east. this is bbc news. will have the headlines for you at the top of the hour straight after this programme. chloe, would we like to be in a video about how much i love you? and you, bambi? dogs have never been more popular. in the uk, we bought 3.2 million pets during lockdown. in europe, puppies are now a multibillion euro

trade network in western europe that handles 8 million puppies a year. many are illegally passed off as the offspring of a much—loved family pet.
