from him live shortly. the heat�*s off england for now, after victory in their first game, but what's the drink helping them to keep their cool in germany? let's get to that press conference now, and the weight is talking. —— andy white. i’m now, and the weight is talking. -- andy white-— now, and the weight is talking. -- andy white. i'm from bbc scotland and i ho -e andy white. i'm from bbc scotland and i hepe you're _ andy white. i'm from bbc scotland and i hope you're well. _ andy white. i'm from bbc scotland and i hope you're well. just - andy white. i'm from bbc scotland and i hope you're well. just give i andy white. i'm from bbc scotland i and i hope you're well. just give us and i hope you're well. just give us a wee _ and i hope you're well. just give us a wee insight into how difficult the past few_ a wee insight into how difficult the past few days have been but how big the determination is to right the wrongs, — the determination is to right the wrongs, if—

the determination is to right the wrongs, if you like, from the lines. obviously— wrongs, if you like, from the lines. obviously the other night wasn't easy. came up against a really big team and we didn't show up the way we wanted to and that really makes it difficult when you come up against the best in the world, we got punished for it, that's for sure. obviously there was a lot of disappointed faces come saturday morning but we gave the lads until night time to get over it and then we moved on, interment and football —— in tournament football, we played the way we believe scotland can play it we need to tend and do that, we need to play with restraint and play a lot better than we did in pretty much every area because i think we know we didn't do our best in all positions on friday and hopefully that's different come tomorrow night. that's different come tomorrow niuht. ,, ,

that's different come tomorrow niuht. ., , ., night. spoken really openly, other da at the night. spoken really openly, other day at the press — night. spoken really openly, other day at the press conference, - night. spoken really openly, other day at the press conference, he i day at the press conference, he spoke _ day at the press conference, he spoke about his role and he said trying _ spoke about his role and he said trying to— trying to give you guys too much information, have you noticed a change — information, have you noticed a change in — information, have you noticed a change in that over the last couple of days _ change in that over the last couple of days and do you feel super clear on what _ of days and do you feel super clear on what it— of days and do you feel super clear on what it is— of days and do you feel super clear on what it is you need to do against switzerland?— on what it is you need to do against switzerland? look, ithink everyone assessed themselves _ switzerland? look, ithink everyone assessed themselves probably - switzerland? look, ithink everyone assessed themselves probably after that game and maybe the gaffer was a bit harsh on himself, i believe they gave us to information but i believe the information was clear that i just think the occasion got to a couple of us, some of us didn't have our best games, but i don't think we went to the pitch and done what we have done to get here and i think that was a disappointing from a players point of view, the manager and his court also underlies himself but from a players point of view we had to look at ourselves and i think everyone done that. i think everybody took that day on saturday to look at their own selves and not point fingers at everyone else and i think we did that and came to a

better place for it. we have the meeting on it and then sunday we were good to go and trying to move on and look ahead to this game, because look, it's a fantastic tournament to play in and we worked so hard to get here and we want to enjoy it as much as we can, but the only way by doing that is by playing a football that we believe that we can play and we didn't do that friday night. now we've got two more chances to do that to try and stay in this tournament. i chances to do that to try and stay in this tournament.— chances to do that to try and stay in this tournament. i am from radio client, in this tournament. i am from radio client. the — in this tournament. i am from radio client, the game _ in this tournament. i am from radio client, the game tomorrow, - in this tournament. i am from radio i client, the game tomorrow, obviously there's_ client, the game tomorrow, obviously there's pressure especially in a tournament like this, but do you feel like — tournament like this, but do you feel like there's more pressure on the team — feel like there's more pressure on the team given what happened on friday— the team given what happened on friday and — the team given what happened on friday and the fact you need a result? — friday and the fact you need a result? the other way there is less pressure. — result? the other way there is less pressure, perhaps you can play with more _ pressure, perhaps you can play with more freedom, what do you think? | more freedom, what do you think? i think more freedom, what do you think? think we more freedom, what do you think? i think we know what we have to do. we know what we have to do differently. but yeah, i think probably you know, people on the outside didn't hold much hope for us anyway, may be that

took more of a knock on friday. but we have a firm belief in our squad that we have quality within and we can do the things that we didn't do on friday night. and you know, if we do that, we become a better team and we showed that in qualifying campaign and that's what we need to get back to, that's what we've been working on and we worked on it before the germany game as well. i do think there was two sides to the friday night, i think the big part was we didn't show up properly but i also thought we had seen very good team perform at the highest level in front of their home fans at the opening of a tournament, it was always going to be difficult for us but we made it even more difficult for us by not showing up the way we expected to. and i think that's why the result was it was. but we can't dwell on it, we have to move on from it now and we've got another game around the corner and that's what's good about this tournament. this game, we you can't wait too long. and i hope tomorrow night people see the scotland we believe in and if

they do that, that will give us the best possible chance for a positive result. i best possible chance for a positive result. ., best possible chance for a positive result. . ., ,, , ., , best possible chance for a positive result. . ., , ., result. i am from sky sports. how much is it — result. i am from sky sports. how much is it about _ result. i am from sky sports. how much is it about mentality - result. i am from sky sports. how much is it about mentality and - result. i am from sky sports. how| much is it about mentality and how much _ much is it about mentality and how much is _ much is it about mentality and how much is it— much is it about mentality and how much is it about mentality and how much is it about game plan? and can you tell_ much is it about game plan? and can you tell us _ much is it about game plan? and can you tell us about your leadership role and — you tell us about your leadership role and what you had to do it in the last— role and what you had to do it in the last few days to pick the boys up? its _ the last few days to pick the boys u? �* , the last few days to pick the boys u . ? �* , ., the last few days to pick the boys u? �* , ., ., , ., up? as i told the lads, i would give them until saturday _ up? as i told the lads, i would give them until saturday dinner - up? as i told the lads, i would give them until saturday dinner time . up? as i told the lads, i would give them until saturday dinner time to | them until saturday dinner time to get over any disappointment they felt, any anger, why they were feeling that at that time, and it was time to move on, it was time to draw a line under it and obviously the manager had the meeting of stuff we would didn't do so well and had to improve on and he gave the same message after that meeting of ok, we've done it, we said what we had to say, we had a couple of discussions around certain clips and things like that, we always have these discussions. and they were had, then it was time to draw a line under it, we can't dwell on it too long we've got two massive games now in this group, we know we have to do better and that was what our full focus was come sunday morning. but

it's important that you analyse it, important you see what you've done wrong and it's important that that's pointed out to come and it wasn't a very clear way and then we moved on from it and we tried to correct that on the pitch, sunday, monday, tuesday, and hopefully we can show it tomorrow night.— it tomorrow night. from the highest ofthe it tomorrow night. from the highest of the results _ it tomorrow night. from the highest of the results and _ it tomorrow night. from the highest of the results and performances - of the results and performances against — of the results and performances against spain and norway, what's been _ against spain and norway, what's been missing would you think needs to he _ been missing would you think needs to be found again? | been missing would you think needs to be found again? ijust been missing would you think needs to be found again?— to be found again? i 'ust think we have to get h to be found again? i 'ust think we have to get back— to be found again? i 'ust think we have to get back to _ to be found again? ijust think we have to get back to being - to be found again? ijust think we have to get back to being honest. to be found again? i just think we l have to get back to being honest. i don't think we have been ourselves, we definitely want ourselves on friday and a think we need to realise what got us the results in the past and what we were good at when we went to the pitch because the message off the pitch hasn't changed, it'sjust on the message off the pitch hasn't changed, it's just on the pitch we maybe have to get back to doing that, trusting ourselves within the game, trusting each other, whoever is next to you, if we do that we are a better team for it and i think we see that in abundance in the qualifying campaign. what you've

seen a team full of belief and ready to fight for each other and ready to go for every single ball, and maybe on friday we played a wee bit with fear, which we then won, but it's easier to talk about her, harder to put it in place. and it's not an easy game in the tournament against the host country, i tell you that, but we had enough experience on the pitch where we should have may be done better and i think we all know that, the whole country know that. i don't want to keep bringing up freddy because now we're looking forward, we don't want to look back too much, we want to look forward. we've got a big game coming up tomorrow night which we are all excited about we want to show this tournament what scotland are all about and like i said if we do that, it i believe that's the best way that we can get a result. andy, let's see- -- _ that we can get a result. andy, let's see... no _ that we can get a result. andy, let's see... no footballer - that we can get a result. andy, let's see... no footballer everl that we can get a result. andy, - let's see... no footballer ever says they play— let's see... no footballer ever says they play for a draw, but how do you balance _ they play for a draw, but how do you balance the — they play for a draw, but how do you balance the point that eight point, would _

balance the point that eight point, would put — balance the point that eight point, would put us in a strong position and hanish— would put us in a strong position and banish the effect of friday night? — and banish the effect of friday niuht? ~ �* ., and banish the effect of friday niuht? �* ., . ., night? we've had too much to robabl night? we've had too much to probably discuss _ night? we've had too much to probably discuss from - night? we've had too much to probably discuss from friday | night? we've had too much to - probably discuss from friday night, but it's about us showing up as a performance level and i think that was always, that's always the way we've done that. i believe if we performed on the day, that gives us the best possible chance to get a win or a draw, whatever the results need to be. i think it comes to game management within the game, you see how the game has gone and you kind of make the decision of all of us experienced players, maybe the manager, may the subs, are we in a position to settle for a draw or are we in a position to go for a win, do we in a position to go for a win, do we have to get back in again? that just happens on the night, but whatever hasn't been discussed it's all about performance levels, it's all about performance levels, it's all about, all about performance levels, it's allabout, ok, how do all about performance levels, it's all about, ok, how do we make everything better? because we can't approve and pretty much we've done

on friday night and we can improve it by quite a bit and if we do that then like i say, it will give us the best possible chance to be together, to be, get three points, to get one points. to be, get three points, to get one oints. �* , .,, ., points. andy robinson there at scotland's _ points. andy robinson there at scotland's press _ points. andy robinson there at scotland's press conference . points. andy robinson there at. scotland's press conference ahead points. andy robinson there at - scotland's press conference ahead of their match in switzerland tomorrow night. looking to move on after the heavy defeat, the heaviest in euros history, 5—1 they lost in the opening match, he said the team acknowledge it, disappointed but they want to move on. we'll have more from that later on throughout the evening. england's next match is against denmark a day later. they're in frankfurt for that one on thursday. it's been deemed a high risk fixture by german police — the same as their match against serbia, which they won 1—0. on the pitch, the players will be looking to convince a few more people following that nervy win. jude bellingham scoring the crucial goal. he's been speaking to the media today in erfurt. our reporter alex howell was there,

and he spoke to me earlier. so he came to speak to us here in the media centrejust behind it, made his major tournament debut in england's when against serbia on monday, he covered a lot of ground really, that he spoke against manchester united team—mates, christian erickson who had that incredible journey suffering the cardiac arrest three years ago, to scoring the opening goal in their first match, also rasmus hojlund, he says he's good friends with but that you haven't spoken and head of the match. he spoke about what it means to him that manchester united's editor erik ten hog is going to stay at the club after he's the man who gave him his debut.— gave him his debut. happy to be buildin: gave him his debut. happy to be building it. _ gave him his debut. happy to be building it, hopefully _ gave him his debut. happy to be building it, hopefully there - gave him his debut. happy to be building it, hopefully there is . gave him his debut. happy to be i building it, hopefully there is more trophies _ building it, hopefully there is more trophies to— building it, hopefully there is more trophies to come and it's nice to have _ trophies to come and it's nice to have that — trophies to come and it's nice to have that decent man that we know, that manager we are going back to in the new— that manager we are going back to in the new season. i'm so grateful for

definitely unusual. so in the second half, one of a number of england players who have come into this tournament and probably not their best shape, he missed nine games for newcastle towards the end of the season,in newcastle towards the end of the season, in the second half he went down with a cramp and as the on—field doctor and physio— went over to him they had him two sachets, one with a high carb energy gel which they call a fuel bomb and the other was pickle juice and the reason they give the players pickle juice is that it reduces cramping a lot better than water, apparently when you it sends a message to your brain and it reduces the of cramping straightaway. there is potential of extra time and penalties, keep an eye out for pickle juice making its way into the pitch. but eye out for pickle juice making its way into the pitch.— way into the pitch. but see if it has any effect _ way into the pitch. but see if it has any effect on _ way into the pitch. but see if it has any effect on them - way into the pitch. but see if it has any effect on them in i has any effect on them in later stages, assuming they get there. thank you mark very much alex, thank you. and the action continues today — we'll get a first look at the portugal side featuring

an evergreen cristiano ronaldo tonight, as they open their campaign against the czech republic. the other match in that group is under way — and into the second half. first timers at the euros, georgia up against turkey, and it was the turks who took the lead and in some style — a goal of the tournament contender from mert muldur, definitely worth seeing again. but, just a few minutes later, georgia were level, georges mikautadze scoring theirfirst ever goal at a major tournament. there is around five minutes left in that match. into the latter stages of the second half in dortmund. well, last night, france came

through their opening game against austria, winning i—o. but an injury suffered to kylian mbappe might have dampened their optimism for the tournament. the soon—to—be real madrid forward suffered a broken nose in a clash with austrian defender kevin danso. the worry is mbappe may miss some of france's matches at the tournament, but a protective mask could help him return sooner than later. my my first thoughts on it were certainly the fact that potentially this nose injury, this broken nose was potentially a bit of a red herring and there may be a concussion in the background as well. that's probably the more alarming side of things, and that's something i'm absolutely sure that the france team will be taking into account and making sure they get help. nasalfractures account and making sure they get help. nasal fractures take about three weeks to heal, but with a mask i would expect him to be able to play, as long as there's no concussion, probably next week or the week after. while the euros are fully under way, the domestic football calendar is now starting to take shape. today, the premier league announced the fixtures for the new season. the last time ipswich town

were in england's top tier, their final match before relegation was against liverpool. and on their return, they'll welcome the same team to portman road. liverpool with new head coach arne slot of course — one of five teams who will start with a new boss on the touchline next season. the other two newly promoted sides, leicester and southampton, will take on spurs and newcastle respectively in their first games back in the division. while the champions, manchester city, begin the defence of their trophy against chelsea on sunday 18th august, as they look to win the title for the fifth successive year. (ani for the fifth successive year. here are the rest of the fixtures on the opening weekend, which all starts when manchester united host fulham on friday 16th august. you can see the full list of fixtures over on the bbc sport website and app. tennis and andy murray and jack draper are the big british draw on centre court at queen's today but the mens wimbledon champion, carlos alcaraz, has got his campaign under way with a straight sets win. alcaraz breezed through the first set against argentina's francisco cerundelo but even though his

opponent was serving to take it to a decider, alcaraz fought back to win 6—1, 7—5 and he'll play the winner of draper and mariano navone — who are last up today. well andy murray is a five—time winner of this tournament and is likely playing it for the last time. he's taking on alexei popyrin in the first round - being watched by ben croucher. sir andy murray! back on the green ureen sir andy murray! back on the green green grass — sir andy murray! back on the green green grass of— sir andy murray! back on the green green grass of home. _ sir andy murray! back on the green green grass of home. a _ sir andy murray! back on the green green grass of home. a farewell i green grass of home. a farewell tour, most likely. but forthe tour, most likely. but for the ignoble tour, most likely. but forthe ignoble scott, there's still time to showcase his greatest hits. the hit more metallic against australia that old murray fight is still going. another booming first serve in the first set of his. this was murray's 1000 match at tour level, so it's

that competitors could collapse due to the heat. a new report, called the rings of fire, suggests a warming planet could affect performances at the games. earlier i spoke to team gb rugby sevens playerjamie farndale — who was involved in the research. as you push your body to the absolute limits, that's all very well when you're in the safe temperature regions but the higher “p temperature regions but the higher up the heat index, the more severe gets. up the heat index, the more severe nets. �* , ., up the heat index, the more severe ets, �*, ., ., ~' up the heat index, the more severe nets. �*, . . ~ . up the heat index, the more severe ets. �*, . . ~ . . gets. there's real talk about heated exhaustion- — gets. there's real talk about heated exhaustion. when _ gets. there's real talk about heated exhaustion. when athletes - gets. there's real talk about heated exhaustion. when athletes are i exhaustion. when athletes are competing on a global platform. the threat of death if you like, is that a realistic sort of thing to put in people's minds when you talk about climate? ~ , ,., , ., ., climate? absolutely. yeah, if we are in these extreme _ climate? absolutely. yeah, if we are in these extreme temperatures, i climate? absolutely. yeah, if we are in these extreme temperatures, likej in these extreme temperatures, like i said, and an athletes mindset if i'm on the rugby pitch and the opposition has made a line break it's myjob to go back and stop him, at the olympic at the pinnacle of my career but my body is at its limits, i'm still going to push myself. so is in these sort of top level sports

were of course it becomes dangerous. and lastly, how much of a challenge do you think mainstream sport and the olympics, games organisers have a of them when it comes to tackling issues around climate? it's often sort of put towards the fringes, isn't it, and away from the headline action or the stuff that's going to get people watching, perhaps. sport realises it needs _ get people watching, perhaps. sport realises it needs to _ get people watching, perhaps. sport realises it needs to do _ get people watching, perhaps.
