11:31 am
welcome to the programme, i am frankie mccamley. let's stick with that build—up ahead of england's game against france in the 202a euros final stop the footballers are training in berlin for that match. let's look at those life pictures in blake and heim there. you can see some of the team are getting ready. let's bring in our sports correspondent, john watson, who is in berlin. talk through how the team will be preparing. i in berlin. talk through how the team will be preparing-— will be preparing. i guess the challenge _ will be preparing. i guess the challenge now _ will be preparing. i guess the challenge now for _ will be preparing. i guess the challenge now for gareth - will be preparing. i guess the - challenge now for gareth southgate is to try and keep a handle on the nerves, the expectation, the anticipation within the england squad as we countdown towards kick off here in berlin tomorrow night. it was interesting, gareth southgate was speaking to the bbc last night and he looked very, very relaxed. and i guess the experience of having
11:32 am
been here before, they of course reached the last european championship final, he looked very calm and very measured and i think that experience, albeit losing last time out, he is using it good effect. i think the players are as well and i guess this is the big question, how do you execute on the biggest stage of all when it comes to these to these finals, these big treasured moments? how do you utilise all that experience to get over the line? i guess, having been here before, that is proving advantageous for england and those players because yes, gareth southgate said he was disappointed they didn't manage to deliver this time, but feel there is a belief, he certainly feels, but this could well be the time that england at last you get over the line at a major tournament. some of the major players as well have been speaking about that experience last time out, declan rice has been speaking about that defeat losing in the final which was staged at wembley. they are using that as fuel and motivation in preparation for this
11:33 am
game to come tomorrow. they know against spain they will face their toughest challenge yet. spain, who have been the on form side really throughout this tournament, the only team to top their group with three wins out of three and have looked so impressive, knocking out france in the last match to reach the final. and so much talk about their star player, the 16—year—old sensation who produced a brilliant goal in that match. they obviously carry a huge danger against england, but england themselves having found their way through against difficult through difficult moments in this tournament and they will be hoping they can get the better of spain tomorrow. you have of course seen england training for the last time, as we see them there at their base in blankenhain, we have seenjordan pickford being put through his paces, he has of course been instrumentalfor paces, he has of course been instrumental for england so far with that penalty save against
11:34 am
switzerland. those five perfectly taken penalties, but it was that early save from the england goalkeeperjordan pickford would goalkeeper jordan pickford would really goalkeeperjordan pickford would really set england on their way to that penalty shoot—out success against switzerland. as we know, it could well go to penalties once again tomorrow, just as it did last time out. so he was looking cool, calm, relaxed, quite composed at training. this final session they are having today before, of course, the team will then make their way to berlin a bit later. we'll be hearing from manager sir li gareth southgate once again and the captain, harry kane, as well. we once again and the captain, harry kane, as well.— once again and the captain, harry kane, as well. ~ . , kane, as well. we have been looking at jordan pickford _ kane, as well. we have been looking at jordan pickford and _ kane, as well. we have been looking at jordan pickford and the _ kane, as well. we have been looking at jordan pickford and the team - atjordan pickford and the team right now, the life pictures we are seeing, john, is some of the trainers, the goalkeepers training there, practising and of course we don't want it to go to penalties, do we? but do think there are any selection dilemmas for gareth southgate, as he will be clearly stood on the sidelines now watching,
11:35 am
training, thinking who is going to be in the squad? that training, thinking who is going to be in the squad?— be in the squad? that is the big cuestion, be in the squad? that is the big question, isn't _ be in the squad? that is the big question, isn't it, _ be in the squad? that is the big question, isn't it, frankie? - be in the squad? that is the big question, isn't it, frankie? and| be in the squad? that is the big i question, isn't it, frankie? and it is interesting because there was a huge clamour in the early stages of this tournament when there was some slightly underwhelming subpar performances from england. huge clamourfrom performances from england. huge clamour from critics performances from england. huge clamourfrom critics and pundits performances from england. huge clamour from critics and pundits and former players saying england need to make some changes and there were calls to drop a couple of players, refresh things a bit, but gareth southgate opted against that and he stuck with the same formation virtually, the same players and personnel throughout. and i guess the way england have continued to find a way through is in some ways a vindication for gareth southgate and his selection. i think the way it has played out, i wouldn't expect any major changes from gareth southgate for tomorrow's final. the only possible change could come in defence with luke shaw, who is the defender who was selected, who has been injured throughout, but has
11:36 am
come on, he has earned some minutes, having returned to full fitness and perhaps that may be the only real change in defence, coming into the left—hand side of defence for england, perhaps luke shaw will now start there and it will offer some much needed balance of england prior to the final 20. find much needed balance of england prior to the final 20.— to the final 20. and you talk about some of the _ to the final 20. and you talk about some of the star _ to the final 20. and you talk about some of the star players, - to the final 20. and you talk about some of the star players, you - to the final 20. and you talk about | some of the star players, you were just talking about why the spanish star players, but what do you think of england's weaknesses? what should gareth southgate be looking out for? it is a difficult one, i think the width has been one of the real issues and a lot of people have felt there hasn't been away are really attacking with any fluency and the difficulty of trying to penetrate defences which sit really deep, they are very hard to break down, a lot of players behind the ball and there was a feeling that if england could utilise the room out wide, that might have helped them and it not saying they really managed to do a
11:37 am
great but they have got incrementally better and i think in their last match against the netherlands, probably one of their better performances, certainly in the first half, but i think that balance, potentially with luke shaw, again, that could make a real difference. but the one thing england do have a real difference. but the one thing england do have and obviously it is not a weakness, they have got such great options on their bench with the substitutes that gareth southgate can bring on. we have seen that play out in the penalty shoot—out against switzerland. he brought on a number of penalty takers who were their regular penalty taker is full for club side, they have a wealth of experience and are used to doing that in high—pressure situations. he will make those changes when he needs to. of course, we saw with ollie watkins as well, replacing the captain, harry kane, late on in that match against the netherlands, that crucial touch, that crucial goal late on, that has really worked for them and while that is a strength and i think you might stick with that same formation and personnel again, he has this platter of
11:38 am
options to change things and that is something gareth southgate has done something gareth southgate has done so well. when he has needed to, he has made the change and it has had an immediate impact and that is something, i guess, an immediate impact and that is something, iguess, if an immediate impact and that is something, i guess, if the game goes late on tomorrow, he could make changes if he needs to. you late on tomorrow, he could make changes if he needs to.— changes if he needs to. you 'ust mention southgate i changes if he needs to. you 'ust mention southgate there. h changes if he needs to. you 'ust mention southgate there. ith changes if he needs to. you just mention southgate there. it has changes if he needs to. you just - mention southgate there. it has been a lot of criticism that gareth southgate has been to conservative. —— two conservative. do you think that has been justified? —— two conservative. do you think that has beenjustified? it is that has been 'ustified? it is difficult that has been justified? it is difficult because _ that has beenjustified? it 3 difficult because when you look at the team that england have the quality of players and they have some of the greatest stars in european football and outsiders, fans and former players and pundits look at that and think, why aren't england producing more, scoring more goals, creating more chances? and thatis goals, creating more chances? and that is a fair thing to talk about when you look at the quality england have. and there has been this feeling that perhaps gareth southgate is too pragmatic, to conservative, perhaps too defensively minded. but in
11:39 am
tournament football, you don't want tournament football, you don't want to go behind, you don't want to concede easy goals and you want to be hard to beat and that is something england have been, but what england started to do and this is why i think gareth southgate is starting to win round his critics, he has stuck to his players, backed his players and they have dug him out of difficult situations. with jude bellingham's late equaliser against slovakia, the penalty takers he brought on against switzerland, ollie watkins coming on for his captain, harry kane, to score that goal. i think he has been vindicated and hisjustification goal. i think he has been vindicated and his justification of what he has done, his approach and i think some of those critics perhaps now recognising that they were perhaps a bit too keen, criticising gareth southgate to early on in this tournament and gareth southgate has this incredible recording knockout matches. he has one more knockout matches. he has one more knockout matches in major tournaments than all managers put together since that
11:40 am
world cup win in the 1960s. so really his record speaks for itself and he should earn more recognition for that. and he should earn more recognition forthat. i and he should earn more recognition for that. i think gareth southgate himself feels that some of the fans and some of those pundits are too quick to think that england should just be rolling over teams and i think he has spoken a lot about remaining humble and recognising that in major tournaments there are no easy matches, be that a team like slovakia or sweden or slovenia, i should say. and that has been the key thing and he wants his team to remain humble and they have done, had managed to find a way through ruin difficult moments. the? had managed to find a way through ruin difficult moments.— ruin difficult moments. they really have, i ruin difficult moments. they really have. i guess _ ruin difficult moments. they really have, i guess only _ ruin difficult moments. they really have, i guess only time _ ruin difficult moments. they really have, i guess only time will- ruin difficult moments. they really have, i guess only time will tell. i have, i guess only time will tell. john watson in berlin for us with the latest. the family of the three women killed in a crossbow attack has released a statement. carroll hunt who was 61 and her daughters hannah, who was 61 and her daughters hannah, who is 28, and louise, aged 25, died at their home in bushey on tuesday
11:41 am
evening. the murder sparked a manhunt that ended with the arrest of kyle clifford, who is suspected of kyle clifford, who is suspected of three counts of murder. the family statement read... but was a statement from the family of the three women killed in a crossbow attack in london. let's head to the united states now, where president biden has attempted to put
11:42 am
his re—election campaign back on track with a defiant rally in the us state of michigan. he came out on stage in detroit to chance off, don't you quit. mr biden told the crowd he was the only politician to have beaten donald trump and promised to do it again in november. you probably noticed, there is a lot as regulation recently, what isjoe biden going to do, is going to drop out? i running and i'm going to win! cheering and applause thomas gift is the director of the centre on us politics at university couege centre on us politics at university college london and he believesjoe biden does still have a chance, despite, he says, being behind. jae despite, he says, being behind. ire: biden despite, he says, being behind. jre: biden is losing, simply put, he is losing in polls across the country by 5—7 points, and he is losing in key swing states like ohio,
11:43 am
michigan, pennsylvania, wisconsin. so he is down, we are not surprised by that, given the very catastrophic debate performance he had and then a couple of other public interviews. but he is not out of this race, the same time. donald trump is a very polarising figure, he has a ceiling on his support and so it is possible that biden could regain his momentum. wright and biden, that biden could regain his momentum. wrightand biden, of course, trying to tell a positive story about his time in office. [30 story about his time in office. do ou story about his time in office. do you think those stories are getting through? or do you think all these stories about his mental state of fitness, this noise, do you think thatis fitness, this noise, do you think that is getting in the way? j fitness, this noise, do you think that is getting in the way? i think it is the latter. _ that is getting in the way? i think it is the latter. we _ that is getting in the way? i think it is the latter. we just _ that is getting in the way? i think it is the latter. we just heard - that is getting in the way? i think it is the latter. we just heard a i it is the latter. we just heard a cacophony of noise, mostly coming from democrats and not republicans, saying that biden needs to get out of the race. the problem for biden is americans cannot un—see what they saw that debate a couple of weeks ago. pulling him out showing that approximately 72% of americans think biden doesn't have the mental acuity
11:44 am
or the physical vigour to carry out four more years in this job, or the physical vigour to carry out four more years in thisjob, so if biden is going to win he is going to have to depend on significant portions of americans to vote for him who don't think he's up for this task. �* ., ., , ., “ him who don't think he's up for this task. �* ., ., , ., ~ , task. and how do you think seeing biden in some _ task. and how do you think seeing biden in some of _ task. and how do you think seeing biden in some of these _ task. and how do you think seeing biden in some of these rallies, - task. and how do you think seeing i biden in some of these rallies, some of these debates, and seeing those actions when he has called people the wrong name a number of times now, how do you think that will affect people when they go to vote? what will they be thinking? fine affect people when they go to vote? what will they be thinking?- what will they be thinking? one of the real problems _ what will they be thinking? one of the real problems for _ what will they be thinking? one of the real problems for biden - what will they be thinking? one of the real problems for biden is - what will they be thinking? one of the real problems for biden isjust| the real problems for biden is just this narrative that has developed around him. so if he gives a speech and 99% of it has no problem, but there is one gaffe, that is what the media will pick up on. that there is one gaffe, that is what the media will pick up on.— media will pick up on. that was doctor thomas _ media will pick up on. that was doctor thomas gift _ media will pick up on. that was doctor thomas gift speaking i media will pick up on. that was doctor thomas gift speaking to media will pick up on. that was - doctor thomas gift speaking to me a little earlier. next, can you imagine life without your smartphone? many of us can't and some big tech companies hope in the nearfuture virtual some big tech companies hope in the near future virtual reality will be part of our everyday lives.

yesterday apple launched its first mixed reality headset in the uk five months after it debuted in the us to a hefty price tag and mixed reviews. our technology editor, zoe kleinman, went to its launch and tried to. a warm welcome for the few customers who turned up at this apple store yesterday as its vr headset, the vision pro, went on sale in the uk. apple wants this to become a gadget you use every day, to do the same kind of stuff you do on your phone, like send messages and watch movies, only bigger and better. this is what i saw when i tried it. welcome back. been a minute. maybe one day it will even replace our phones altogether — perhaps when it looks a little bit less like a pair of skiing goggles. thank you, enjoy your apple vision pro. thank you. it's a pleasure. these customers won't put off, but with the launch price of £s500, it's not exactly going to fly off the shelves just yet. it's always the expectation that

apple, with every single product, will sell in the millions straightaway, and there's always a comparison with the iphone. in the first quarter, in the us alone, apple sold 100,000 units. here's one of its rivals, and for the price of one vision pro, you could get seven of these, the meta quest s. the owner of facebook also says its latest headset will play an ever—growing role in everyday tasks, from taking photos to exercising, and of course virtual reality has always been greatfor gaming. 0h...! i'm here whenever you need me, lionesses. turns out this is quite hard. one of the most pressing issues for the new uk government is to bring down hospital waiting lists. the latest figures show numbers have risen for a second month in a row, with an estimated 7.6 million treatments waiting to be carried out in england at the end of may. one hospital in leeds is attempting to cut its waiting times by performing operations on weekends. our reporter jamie coulson has been to find out

final that is going to be taking place tomorrow afternoon. plenty of build—up here on bbc news, so do stay with us throughout the day. now the weather, here is helen. hello, there. we've got low pressure close by to the east of england and eastern scotland, hence we've seen some rather cloudy, wet conditions in places this morning, whilst further west and increasingly in the south the sunshine will develop but trigger a few showers. this is the low pressure bringing the rain. it has brought rain to many eastern areas of england, in particular, through the morning, and it's pushing progressively into eastern scotland. so, clearing away from southern parts, perhaps a shower or two brewing. one or two heavy, wimbledon thundery ones here, and the risk for wimbledon, drier for the north—west highlands, whilst we've got really rather cloudy, cool conditions in many areas further east, disappointing at 1a or 15,
11:57 am
well below par, only 18 or 19, because the wind is coming from the north even in the sunshine. that north wind continues through this evening and overnight. more rain spilling in across the south—east of scotland, the north—east of england. drier as the showers start to fade away further south and west and a little cooler than the night just gone as well. perhaps a little bit of mist and fog first thing and certainly around the east coast and over the hills as we have seen during the morning today, that continues during tomorrow. if anything, less rain around tomorrow. more bright skies and sunshine developing for scotland and northern ireland, across england and wales, away from those east coasts. still a few showers but not as heavy as they will be today when there could be some thundery downpours. temperatures a little bit higher as a consequence, as well, responding to a little more sunshine and slightly less of a north breeze, which will continue into tomorrow evening. if you are sitting out watching the football, there is a lot of dry weather to be found away from the north sea coast. it should be dry as well for the football itself over in germany.

some fine and dry weather around to end the weekend, but it doesn't really last very long because as that low pressure moves away into scandinavia another one approaches from the south and west to bring some heavy and thundery rain in, potentially, to wales, central and southern england and then northern ireland by the end of the day, all of the time brightening up across the north and east of scotland and the north—east of england. a warmer day here, with the winds offshore rather than onshore into monday. as for beyond, it does look set to stay unsettled in the north, but something a little drier and warmer promised further south. as ever, you can catch up with the weather on the website.
