6:32 pm
and heartbreakfor scotland — as they miss out on a place in the knockout stage of the cricket world cup — as england scape through, thanks to australia. welcome along, thank you forjoining us this sunday evening. kick off is edging closer. england's opening match at euro 2024 is approaching in germany. at the last championship, they reached the final, falling short at wembley on penalties. can they go one better this time? serbia are their opponents in gelsenkirchen for theirfirst group game —
6:33 pm
from where our sports news correspondent andy swiss now reports. # sweet caroline... lunchtime in gelsenkirchen and england fans were already making themselves heard. as they flocked, full of euros confidence. we're going to win it. it's coming home. it has to be our year, this year. we say it every time! can't wait to get and that ground, scream my heart out and hopefully not lose my voice. do you think england will win the euros? of course. it's our time, it's our time. it's coming home! # and the raf from england shot them down... among the chants was one referencing germany's wartime past which the authorities have urged fans not to sing. but for most supporters, the mood was one of excitement. we can hear the atmosphere here in gelsenkirchen. organisers say they expect about 40,000 england fans here. after months of build—up, it's finally time for england to start. they'll begin as clear favourites against serbia, a side ranked just 33rd in the world.
6:34 pm
england, remember, reached the final of the last euros. so, can their players handle the pressure and go all the way? they understand that because we've been doing well and because we've won a lot of games and we have gone into a lot of depth in tournaments, then of course expectation has risen. but qualification from the group is the only objective at this point. then, you build from there. security is tight in this match, which the authorities have deemed high risk. but for england fans, the waiting is almost over and their euros, about to begin. let's go live to gelsenkirchen now. andy swiss is in position. he canjoin us now pitch side, no less. andy, wejust heard in your report that you just mentioned the security, so much to talk about that
6:35 pm
going into this tournament. notjust where you are, but in hamburg as well, that has come into sharp focus? . , �* ., . ~' focus? that is right. before i talk about that, _ focus? that is right. before i talk about that, very _ focus? that is right. before i talk about that, very briefly, - focus? that is right. before i talk about that, very briefly, you - focus? that is right. before i talk about that, very briefly, you mayj about that, very briefly, you may have heard a bit of booing at the background. that is because the england team are now out on the pitch. you might be able to see them. there they are, having a bit of a look around. the england team are here ahead of tonight's match, but as you said, there were some worrying scenes in hamburg earlier on. officials say that a man with an axe present and police officials neara axe present and police officials near a fan zone for a dutch supporters. that is before the match between holland and poland earlier on in hamburg. police have described this as an isolated case, meaning it is not football related. security as you say, is undoubtedly our big issue at the zeros. obviously the
6:36 pm
game here in delson kirkham has been deemed high risk by the authorities. that is partly because of fears of from serbian fans. there are more than 1000 police officers on duty for this match. i was in the town centre at lunchtime. the atmosphere seem to be pretty good among the england fans, but i have been a few disturbances this afternoon in town. although these seem to be involving serbian fans rather than england fans. in fact, serbian fans rather than england fans. infact, uk serbian fans rather than england fans. in fact, uk police have issued a statement in the last half hour, and they say that at this stage, we do not believe that any uk nationals have been arrested. obviously, supporters are arriving here all the time, and the security of this match will be very much under the spotlight. it will be very much under the spotlight-— will be very much under the s-uotliht. ., ., spotlight. it well. you mentioned the atmosphere _ spotlight. it well. you mentioned the atmosphere there. _ spotlight. it well. you mentioned the atmosphere there. the - spotlight. it well. you mentioned l the atmosphere there. the scrutiny on england is intense, and for gareth southgate, entering his fourth, potentially final tournament in charge, he has indicated,
6:37 pm
especially if they don't win it— i know england are used to being a team under pressure, but is that even more so at this championship are not? figs even more so at this championship are not? �* , even more so at this championship are not? a ., ., are not? as you say, england are alwa s are not? as you say, england are always under— are not? as you say, england are always under pressure _ are not? as you say, england are always under pressure when - are not? as you say, england are always under pressure when it i are not? as you say, england are - always under pressure when it comes to big, major tournaments. always under pressure when it comes to big, majortournaments. i always under pressure when it comes to big, major tournaments. ithink the sense of expectation on england year is perhaps unprecedented, certainly in gareth southgate's time. that is partly because of the attacking progress they have in the side. it is the sort of attacking prowess that is really the envy of europe when you look at the likes of harry kane, jude bellingham, phil foden. there are still some question marks over england's defence. they are obviously without the injured harry maguire here in germany. john stones is that if few illness problems this week. luke shaw is still recovering from injury as well. it will be a big night for the likes of mark leahy, who we are expecting to start at centre back. —— guehi. and also kieran trippier,
6:38 pm
who will be at left back, not his natural position. gareth southgate is desperately trying to play down that sense of expectation. he was just focused on getting out of the group, and after that, he would worry about the rest of the tournament. but yes, england are here, and many believe that this is their best chance under gareth southgate winning that elusive major tournament. it is about to get under way within the next hour or so. hat way within the next hour or so. not far off from — way within the next hour or so. not far off from knowing what that starting line—up will look like either. andy swiss in delson kirkham, thank you. one man who knows about playing at a euros is the former england playerjoe hart. he was first—choice goalkeeper from 2010 to 2017, getting 75 caps for his country. after retiring as a player this summer — he's out in germany as a pundit and has been speaking to john watson. the mood will be ready, they will be excited, but it is what they do best. the boys play at a really high level. they have been working hard
6:39 pm
as a group, and i'm sure they will have all the instructions they need and will be able to execute when it comes to game time.— and will be able to execute when it comes to game time. what is it like? you have been _ comes to game time. what is it like? you have been part _ comes to game time. what is it like? you have been part of— comes to game time. what is it like? you have been part of squads - comes to game time. what is it like? you have been part of squads at - you have been part of squads at major tournaments, you know the players very well, and having just retired from professional football, is it a wonderful atmosphere in there amongst those players when you're playing something as big as a trophy? you're playing something as big as a troh ? ., , , ., ., trophy? you flip between the two do --eole. trophy? you flip between the two do peeple- these _ trophy? you flip between the two do people. these boys _ trophy? you flip between the two do people. these boys have _ trophy? you flip between the two do people. these boys have grown - trophy? you flip between the two do people. these boys have grown up l people. these boys have grown up supporting england, watching these tournaments. at the same time, they are hard, very high—level professional footballers. you flip between the two. you understand what's going on around you, the family, friends, the buzz, but the same time, they have a job to do, and as the game comes closer, that will be the focus. tell! and as the game comes closer, that will be the focus.— will be the focus. tell us. the fans will be the focus. tell us. the fans will be the focus. tell us. the fans will be expected, _ will be the focus. tell us. the fans will be expected, but _ will be the focus. tell us. the fans will be expected, but the - will be the focus. tell us. the fans will be expected, but the players | will be expected, but the players genuinely believe that they can do it, and rightly so, having made the final of the last euros, when they lost to italy. do you think england
6:40 pm
will get over the line at long last? they will put themselves in the best position. there is no getting away with it, they have one of the best squads in the tournament. their experience together, and a manager they have worked with for a number of years now. everything is in place, but tournament football is crazy. we need everything to go our way. there will be hard times, we all need to stay together and dig deep, and of all that comes together, then they have a great chance. jae together, then they have a great chance. , ., ., the other two teams in england's group are currently facing each other in stuttgart. denmark famously won the euros in 1992, and they're up against a slovenia side who've not won a match in their history at the european championship. it's a night of special significance for christian eriksen — his first game at the euros since his cardiac arrest in 2021. and what a fairy tale story for him this evening. they scored early on, just 16 minutes into their game, giving denmark delete. denmark clear favourites to win this one, but
6:41 pm
credit to slovenia, because i can tell you in the last few minutes, they have drawn themselves level through a deflected strike with about six minutes of normal time to go. it is 1—1 in that one. four years before denmark won the euros — it was the netherlands that lifted the trophy in 1988. they're hoping to repeat that achievement in germany — and are one of the tournament favourites. today, in their opening match they survived a scare to see off poland, a late winner ensuring victory as ben croucher reports. if you are in hamburg today and you didn't know who was playing, you soon did. wherever the never once 90, soon did. wherever the never once go, there orange army follows. they are supporting a team actually playing in blue. whatever the kit, if you defend corners like this, it will only have one result.

gelsenkirchen. we are edging closer to kick—off in the other match in that group, england versus serbia? that is right. a barely an hour before kick—off, and the stadium is really starting to fill up, because it is merely the moment of reckoning for england. they have come so close to major tournaments in recent years. they reach the semifinals, the world cup in 2018. they reached the world cup in 2018. they reached the final of the euros in 2021, but the final of the euros in 2021, but the fans here believe this could finally be their time. remember, not since the world cup in 1966 have england's men won a major tournament. could they end 60 years of waiting? it all starts here tonight. they will be hoping it ends in berlin onjuly 14.

hello there. well, it's been a rather mixed day of weather with some heavy, persistent rain across parts of scotland. heavy thundery showers breaking out mostly across eastern areas of england, but some bright and sunny spells in between. some of the best of that sunshine has been across the south and the west. and of course, it always feels pleasantly warm in the sunshine at this time of year. there will be more of it as we head through next week. it's been cool and unsettled of late, but an improvement for most of us turning warmer and drier. still some wet weather around, though, at times. and overnight tonight, that band of cloud and showery rain will slowly continue to sink further southwards. it's weakening as it goes, and there will be some clear spells to the north and to the south of that front. and any lengthy clear spells temperatures could drop back potentially to mid single figures. so locally, another chilly start to the day tomorrow for some and then into monday morning. well, it's another day of sunshine and showers. that band of cloud pushes further southwards, but it's weakening, of course, the cloud breaking up in the strong june sunshine. showers developing, particularly

to the north and the east of that band of cloud. a cloudy day really for northern ireland, but it should stay dry here. and the best of the sunshine, the driest conditions out towards the south east of england. temperatures here could rise as high as 22 degrees celsius maybe. and then we look out towards the near continent as we go through monday night into tuesday to find this weather front that's starting to edge some more cloud into parts of kent and east sussex, perhaps, maybe some showers here, but a lot of uncertainty still at this stage. some more showers developing, i think mostly across northern and eastern areas of england, perhaps into eastern scotland, too. but some bright and some sunny spells. a lot of dry weather, particularly out towards the west. it's warm in the south, temperatures in the low 20s, but cool across northern scotland, still with more of a northerly wind starting to develop. as we go through wednesday, that front towards the south starts to pull away. high pressure edges in from the azores and that's set to keep us largely dry, i think, for much of the rest of the week. still low pressure out towards the north and the west, though,

and that's going to send a few weather fronts away. so if we just take a look at the outlook for our capital cities. you can see that temperatures have bounced back to the seasonal average across the board. there could still be some more wet weather across edinburgh and belfast but drier in london and cardiff. bye— bye. live from london, this is bbc news. police in germany tell the bbc a man with a pickaxe tried to ignite
