semifinal and as players, we love him. before that we have a heavyweight clash in munich between former champions spain and france. the french are yet to hit the heights that you'd expect from their star—studded squad led by kylian mbappe. a 1—0 win against belgium in the last 16 before getting past portugal on penalties in the quarters and they face a spanish side, now favourites for the tournament, the only team with a 100% record. the french head coach was accused by a journalist of playing �*boring football'. translation: if you are bored, watch another game. _ it's fine. you don't have to. it's a special euro that's different for everyone but much higher in the past, we have the ability to share emotions and make french people happen, especially in the complicated period of our country.

correspondentjoe wilson. we come to the point that may be he thought he would never reach. his final test match remember the situation, deciding you need to move on without james anderson in giving this last occasion, this venue and he spoke to anderson earlier today, they talked about what made him the most proud after such a long and successful career. the fact that i will be playing by 188 test, that makes me the most proud, the fact that i've been able to play this long. is there any part of you that wants to stop? that's a tough question. coming of the back of last week i feel like i am, i think i'm bowling as well as they have. i know it had to end
2:54 am
at some point. we have seen in the selection of the team in this touch match. during that time in england they have already met the king. carrying out the proud tradition of the touring teams but so many parts of the caribbean, there has been the devastation of the hurricane and that is a part of the motivation for the west indies here. any bit of spark or encouragement we can give them is just throughout our performances and that is what we have pledged as a group and trying to make them happy and as proud as he possibly can in these difficult times. this is the west indies versus england. the start of a competitive test match series and they would want us to be thinking along those lines.

2:56 am
the wettest spot. parts of eastern scotland, north—east england. we could see more than 60mm on top of the highest ground. so on tuesday band of rain moves its way north. things are turning a little bit more humid towards the south. here's the low pressure that's drifting northwards through the overnight period into tuesday as well. and we've got this warm front pushing north. so that's going to introduce a bit more of a southeasterly flow of air and bring it temperatures certainly a little bit warmer, a bit more of a muggy feel in the south compared to recent days. let's take a look at tuesday morning. then by about 9:00 that rain will mostly have been easing from southern england, but still some showers. big puddles for the south west of england. south wales two. that bulk of the rain is sitting across parts of northern england into northern ireland, southern scotland, central and northern parts of scotland. seeing some sunshine to start your tuesday morning. but this area of rain, it's a frontal system, continues its progress north. these easterly winds quite blustery, blowing in across north—east england and eastern scotland as well. so pretty wet if you're under that band of rain 15 or 16 degrees. but in the sunnier spells midlands
2:57 am
perhaps getting up to around 21. few showers around across parts of southern and eastern england, so could be a little bit of light rain on tuesday at wimbledon, potentially on wednesday as well, but it won't be a washout. i think. any rainfairly showery in nature now moving through into wednesday, then we've still got this band of rain overnight sitting across scotland, parts of northern ireland, still seeing some wet weather potentially as well. look at those overnight temperatures, most of us between about 12 to 15 degrees. so we've got that humid air more widely across the uk as we head into wednesday. but low pressure still driving things so still bringing outbreaks of rain for northern and eastern scotland, some of that quite slow moving. so rainfall totals really mounting up here, some showers to also into northern ireland, perhaps one or two into the northwest of england. further south you're more likely to have a bit of a drier day with some more sunshine, but not completely dry anywhere, i think. top temperatures in the sunshine in the south up to about 22, but still only 1a or 15 in the north towards the end of the week, then we've still got another area of low pressure. looks like it will affect parts of southern, perhaps south—eastern england, so it's a bit up and down over the next few days really, but temperatures perhaps a little bit warmer, at least for a time
2:58 am
than they have been.
