The head of Poland's Supreme Court is promising to defy the government over what she called a purge of the judiciary. We get reaction from Europe - but is there anything the EU can do? As England go through to the quarter finals of the world cup - on penalties - the captain of Bogota Rovers and Colombia's Ambassador to the UK on a nail biting night of football. Twelve boys and their football coach trapped in a flooded cave in Thailand have received their first food and medical treatment for ten days. We' talk about the challenge of maintaining their mental health. And should we show children how their food is being produced by taking them on a trip to an abattoir? We talk to one of Denmark's biggest meat producers about why they want to show visitors what happens at their factory. (Picture: Protests against judicial reform in Poland Credit: EPA).
