Mr Cuevas, who has worked in the aviation industry for 40 years, was contracted to Spirit Aerosystems, to work on Boeing's 787 forward pressure bulkhead, a dome at the nose of the aircraft which serves as a barrier.
England were seconds away from an embarrassing exit in Gelsenkirchen as Slovakia defended a lead they had held since the 25th minute when Ivan Schranz raced into the box to poke a low finish past England keeper Jordan Pickford. It was then that Bellingham, who celebrated his 21st birthday on Saturday, demonstrated the brilliance that has made him England’s new superstar by going airborne in the penalty area to send Marc Guehi’s headed flick past Martin Dubravka with a stunning overhead kick. Bellingham rescued England from a performance that plumbed such depths that his goal was their first effort on target – but then set the platform for a victory as Slovakia, who had defended so stubbornly, were left stunned. And captain Harry Kane emphasised England’s sudden superiority a minute into the extra 30 minutes when he headed home from close range to complete a remarkable turnaround and set up a quarter-final meeting with Switzerland. England’s display before Bellingham’s wonder goal was another to add to the catalogue of mediocrity they have delivered under Gareth Southgate in Germany, even though Kane had missed an easy header and Declan Rice struck a post as they strived for the equaliser.

Four Sri Lankan fishermen have died and another two are critically ill after consuming an unknown liquid from bottles they found while at sea, according to local media reports. The sailors were said to be on a fishing trip when they retrieved the bottles around 320 nautical miles from Tangalle, a town on the southern coast of the island. The Sri Lanka Navy told reporters the fishermen had drunk from the bottles thinking they contained alcohol. Director General of the Sri Lankan Department of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, Susantha Kahawatte, told several outlets that the navy was attempting to bring them back to shore. He reportedly said that the the navy was providing medical attention to the men aboard the fishing vessel - named the Devon - over concerns there was not enough time to return them to land for treatment.

There are now serious conversations taking place at the top of the party, in the White House and in the Biden-Harris campaign about a range of options, one of which is whether Joe Biden should step down as a candidate for president. Democratic officials, political operatives, and people close to the president paint a picture of an anxious Democratic Party that is seriously concerned about the strength of their candidate and whether he can beat Donald Trump in November. Among some of the president's allies I’ve spoken to, there’s been hand-wringing about how the preparation for the debate in Atlanta was handled. These people say Mr Biden was over-prepared and overworked by his campaign team - and that if he had been given more time simply to rest in the week leading up to the debate, he would have done much better. Maybe there were too many voices and perspectives and data points put in his head, one campaign source suggested to me, and that just threw him off.

The three girls started making metal music at high school, but they never thought they could make history for Indonesia at Glastonbury. The band they formed - Voice of Baceprot - are playing the festival this year and when they found out they'd been invited they were “confused”. “Because we didn’t know how exciting \[the festival] is… We didn’t know what to do next,” the band’s lead singer Firdda Marsya Kurnia said. The pressure was on after the trio realised they would be the first Indonesian band to play at Europe's largest music festival. Headliners at this year’s five-day festival include Coldplay and Dua Lipa. Voice of Baceprot - made up of Marsya, drummer Euis Siti Aisyah and bassist Widi Rahmawati - are performing on Friday. Baceprot (pronounced “bah-che-prot”) means “noise” in Sundanese, one of the most widely spoken languages in Indonesia.

An aircraft mechanic who was contracted to repair Boeing planes has alleged he was labelled a "snitch" and then sacked for speaking up over safety concerns. Richard Cuevas claimed he witnessed substandard manufacturing and maintenance work on a crucial section of Boeing 787 aircraft. Boeing, which has been dogged by questions over whether its safety culture is rigorous enough, said the issues had been investigated and "did not present a safety concern". Lawyers representing Mr Cuevas alleged he reported critical issues that could create a serious public safety risk and have filed complaints with the Federal Aviation Administration and the Occupational Health and Safety Administration. Mr Cuevas, who has worked in the aviation industry for 40 years, was contracted to Spirit Aerosystems, to work on Boeing's 787 forward pressure bulkhead, a dome at the nose of the aircraft which serves as a barrier.

Two neighbouring countries are approaching elections that were called out of the blue. Both have governments that are expected to fall. In both countries political tensions have divided families and friends. Stop. At this point, all attempts to draw parallels between the British and French elections must cease. Because however much might be at issue in the UK election - and there is much - it pales next to the stakes that have been raised across the channel. Here in France, it is not just the fate of a government or a leader that is in the air – but of a political system. And the risks are not of disappointed hopes and crushed careers, as in a peacefully functioning democracy, but of actual violence.

Bangladesh's deadliest executioner, who hanged serial killers and politicians alike and even wrote a book about it, has died. Shahjahan Bhuiyan, 74, was admitted to hospital on Monday in the country's capital, Dhaka, after complaining of chest pains. He later died while undergoing treatment, local media report. Bhuiyan is thought to have carried out at least 26 executions but some reports have put the number as high as 60. A former revolutionary, he became a hangman while serving a 42-year prison sentence for robbery and murder. Bhuiyan's desire to have his jailtime reduced by volunteering as an executioner was rewarded last year when he was released 10 years early.

The UK's main political parties have “ducked” addressing stark choices over public finances in their manifestos and it will be a "considerable surprise" if taxes are not increased over the next five years, a leading think tank has warned. The Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) accused Labour and the Conservatives of engaging in a "conspiracy of silence" and ignoring "painful choices". It said the UK has the highest debt level for more than 60 years, taxes are near a record high and spending has swelled - but public services are "visibly struggling". While the government is paying huge interest on debts and welfare bills have grown, spending on health is likely to rise because of an ageing population while defence funding will have to increase. Meanwhile, economic growth is subdued.

When Darren Peattie decided to revive the 200-year-old salt harvesting industry in a Fife coastal village he was "absolutely terrified of failing". The father-of-two had bought £300,000 worth of equipment including a huge salt pan and hired a factory in the quaint East Neuk village of St Monans. The 41-year-old had put everything into his dream, working all hours and sleeping in his factory to keep an eye on all the dials and gauges monitoring pressure and brine levels. But Darren's punishing work schedule and the conditions in the factory took a terrible toll on his health. After months of surviving on 20-minute power naps on the factory floor his heart started palpitating wildly, he felt out of breath and dizzy.
Looking out now over the Indian Ocean from Mnemba Island, it is hard to believe that just three years ago the stunning coral reef surrounding this part of Tanzania’s Zanzibar archipelago was dying. Under threat from climate change, overfishing and other human activity, the islanders faced losing their livelihoods and the prospect of moving away altogether. Anxious to save the colourful, oval-shaped reef that is fairly close to the shore and around 7km (4.3 miles) in length, communities on the small island have embraced a conservation project which has managed to restore some of what has been lost. The initiative also aims in other ways to protect the reef, which is known around the world for its beauty.
"I turned the lights on and it's 'Oh my God, 3ft of soil in my bedroom'," Charles Reeves says, still in disbelief, as he shows the BBC his home. "I'm surprised the floors are even withstanding all this stuff." Mr Reeves, a north London homeowner, returned from working abroad to find his family home transformed into a cannabis farm. The criminals, posing as tenants, had dumped 10 tonnes of soil in the property, causing extensive damage and leaving the family devastated. According to experts, rental scams linked to cannabis farms are on the rise, with criminals seemingly exploiting the lengthy eviction process to complete illegal grow operations before disappearing.
The act in question is Seventeen - a K-pop boyband that boasts a whopping 13 members, and which sold more than 10 million albums last year. The only act to sell more? Taylor Swift. But despite K-pop's global success, the UK has remained frosty towards the genre. Even though bands like BTS, Blackpink, Stray Kids and Aespa have broken out, their biggest hits have tended to come in collaboration with Western artists like Selena Gomez, Lady Gaga or Coldplay. Seventeen don't do collaborations. Unlike most Korean pop acts, they also write and produce their own material. Now, they're making history as the first K-pop act on Glastonbury's main stage.

His comments come after Seoul said it was considering such a possibility, in response to Russia and North Korea's new pact to **[help each other in the event of "aggression" against either country](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ceddqkqzd5wo)**. Moscow "will... \[make] decisions which are unlikely to please the current leadership of South Korea" if Seoul decides to supply arms to Kyiv, Mr Putin told reporters on Thursday.

Mr Putin also warned that Moscow is willing to arm Pyongyang if the US and its allies continue supplying Ukraine with weapons.
