gareth southgate and harry kane. they spoke about what they have learned from the final. how that motivated them through the group stage which they performed badly but we have grown into the tournament pushing rock through the knockout stages with late goals in extra time. the late winner from stages with late goals in extra time. the late winnerfrom ollie watkins. let's hearfrom them now. everybody is fit which is great. although not unusual for a everybody is fit which is great. although not unusualfor a cup final. we are excited for the challenge. clearly the team have improved over the last few weeks. they have shown tremendous character and resilience. they have been a privilege to work with everyday. the whole squad fully committed to every session. it has been a great

7:36 pm
big dreams. we have felt the need and the importance of that. but you have to make those things happen. the run we have had, late goals, penalties, that doesn't equate to us, it being a moment. we have to make it happen and performance level we need to perform. of course it would be a lovely story. but it is in our hands and performance that is the most important thing. i in our hands and performance that is the most important thing.— the most important thing. i think ou mean the most important thing. i think you mean everything. _ the most important thing. i think you mean everything. i _ the most important thing. i think you mean everything. i think- the most important thing. i think you mean everything. i think it . you mean everything. i think it would — you mean everything. i think it would hem _ you mean everything. i think it would be... obviously the most incredible — would be... obviously the most incredible feeling i think is a professional footballer you could -et professional footballer you could get and — professional footballer you could get and i'm sure also for the fans to have _ get and i'm sure also for the fans to have that moment in history and celebrate _ to have that moment in history and celebrate that would be something very special. but we have been here before _ very special. but we have been here before and _ very special. but we have been here before and like i said it was a tough — before and like i said it was a

7:38 pm
golden route as well. gareth southgate has been in the role eight years. such an influentialfigure, took coverfor notjust years. such an influentialfigure, took cover for notjust the roy hodgson either then the disastrous one game of sam allardyce before he was sacked. gareth southgate stepping up as a caretaker role in coming out of the england 20 once he was head of elite development. he was head of elite development. he was behind the blueprint for saint georges park, the england team base near derby. he has been an influential character. we spoke to part of the angry development side, and under 19 world cup winner. he has that wagon. he spoke to us about the england setup and how they have nurtured english talent.
7:39 pm
i don't know if it was that either orjust before i started to go into the england setup but they were massive on having a dna, a style of play and performing. from what i hear there has been a big change. they benefit because they made academy changes the way they play, the standard in the academy has got much better. you really get to see the real footballers. the real ballers. from goalkeepers to strikers. you can tell there was a big change in the style of play and through that, players were coming out with ridiculous talent. like phil foden, mark guehi, who could play out. and morgan and hudson—odoi. what about spain? spain have also arrived in darlington and luis de la fuente is giving his thoughts. they
7:40 pm
are the favourites. the only side who have won every match, six in a row is a euros first. lamine yamal scoring as a 16—year—old in their semifinal where they knock out the french. we also knocked out the hosts, germany. they have beaten italy. he has broken records along the way. he will be one of the starters. luis de la fuente has decisions but he was a former u21 coach and has really got a real nice blind of players. really young players like lamine yamal. nico williams on the other flank. our reporter has been taking a closer look at the spanish. tomorrow night in berlin, one team are heavy favourites, because of goals like this. nice curl. oh, i say, what an
7:41 pm
unbelievable goal! lamine yamal turned 17 today. he is spain and the euro's youngest ever player. their1in1,000,000. so what are the odds of this photo? in 2007, barcelona's players posed with local families. a charity calendar had paired lionel messi with spain's football future. the boy in the bath made his club debut aged 15. yamal was made at la masia, barcelona's great academy, the place that helped this nation to its greatest football era. motson: spain are the european champions of 2008. _ in a four—year spell, spain won the euros twice and the world cup in between. at euro 2012, they beat italy in kyiv. chance for torres. 3—0 spain. but that's still the last time they reached a major final. 12 years isn't quite five decades of hurt, but spain's new generation has built
7:42 pm
success on change. i think we got too obsessed with the idea that everything goes via the midfielders, and possession is the end of everything, and luis de la fuente has added layers to the side. the use of wingers, being more direct, the pressure high that was always there. what these players have is adaptability. they know that there is 10, 15 games that you play in every single match. so winning it? yes. at this point people feel that we've got enough to win it. on the wings for spain are yamal and nico williams. he's 22. they've been called the two ferraris. england now must find a way to put the brakes on a team who've beaten italy, croatia, germany and france. spain know what to expect. yeah, well, england have shown so far that the team that never give up, that's for sure. and we have to be focussed all the game. doesn't matter if we are down or up, we just have to keep our focus.
7:43 pm
i do see england doing what france did. they scored first. they had three counters. that's what england can do — absorb pressure and break them in the counter if they're able to beat pressure. spain have scored the most goals and have the euros break—out player. it makes them favourites for a reason. if they're beaten tomorrow, it may be england's greatest night. the spanish have a reason to be confident. such a tough half of the draw they came through. we will have more from brandenburg gate and the use ahead of the final tomorrow. but it is a huge weekend at the all england club. are you ladies champion.
7:44 pm
that champion is barbora krejcikova. for the seventh time in a row, a new name on the venus rose water dish. an unexpected name, no one expected her to have this run at this championship. she won a title in 2021, had a year of illness and injury unlike her late coach who died in 2017 she has that same never give up attitude. she battled her way past daniel collins, ostapenko, elena rybakina, into the final againstjasmine paolini. paolini lit up againstjasmine paolini. paolini lit up the tournament with exuberance and joy but fell short today as krejcikova won in three sets. the women's singles at wimbledon has become predictably unpredictable, serving up a new champion for the seventh successive year. that was all that could be guaranteed.
7:45 pm
barbora krejcikova said she'd be fighting for every ball in honour of her mentor, the late championjana novotna, and that she did. a formidable first set. she was halfway there. but here came the italian pocket rocket jasmine paolini, launching herself back into contention. she is electric. but the power of krejcikova proved too much, clinching the championship at the third time of asking. after a gripping contest, a warm embrace and there was no doubting who this was for. cheering. i never really dreamed of i would win the same trophy as jana did in 1998. i mean, it's unbelievable, i'm standing here and i... laughter. i'm a wimbledon winner. a poignant moment of reflection,
7:46 pm
for one not here, but here in spirit, before a rousing reception for another czech champion. what a moment for barbora krejcikova. tennis. behind me. a few people are watching on henman hill and plenty on centre court. let's take you there. henry patton is trying to win the men's finals and you will see as we go to these pictures, that they are trying to get themselves over the line. they have camping trip point. you can see henry patten with the fluorescent racket, he has never beenin fluorescent racket, he has never been in a grass final before. this will be a major upset. knocked out neal skupski. the aussies... they
7:47 pm
have done it! they can! harri heliovaara and henry patten are men's champions. we were speaking to henry in the week, he is an ipswich town fan, she said it will be an ipswich town phantom and it would be a dream come to to win wimbledon. they can barely believe it. harri heliovaara is in tiers. no one saw this coming when neal skupski won. this was not and that is disbelief. that is him looking up at his box. barely able to believe he has done it on a champions tie—break. they all went to tie—break. 7—6, 6—7,
7:48 pm
they have done 7— sexier. water moment for him, hugely —— 76. let me cover what has happened. in quad wheelchairs i'm afraid and they lacked in law to . that is significant because the japanese pair that have won will play alfie hewett tomorrow. he is going to try to win his first title. he has lost the last two titles. maybe he will be inspired on centre court. i'm glad we got that moment live. i will try to catch my breath and leave you in peace here from wimbledon. many thanks. what
7:49 pm
commentary! go and have allowed down. we have a british winner at wimbledon. we going to have an english when in berlin? spain, the euro final tomorrow. there has been other sport before we get back to the football. england have lost the series to the all blacks, they have not been beaten at eden park in auckland for 30 years. there was a big win for scotland over the united states. wales played australia but drama as well we had, ireland the last kick of the game, a drop goal to beat the
7:50 pm
world champions south africa. it's been a mixed bag of results and nick parrott rounds it all up. ireland were not at the european championship but in rugby union their hero came off the bench to score the winner against the world champions. in his sixth senior appearance, the world champions. in his sixth seniorappearance, he the world champions. in his sixth senior appearance, he was in seventh heaven after this. when the ball left his boot there was a second left his boot there was a second left on the clock and a two—point deficit on he secured a win for ireland on new south african soil for only the second time. fans will remember the moment for many years to come. no such luck for england. they were leading new zealand with 20 minutes to go thanks to tries. the all blacks have not lost at their eden park fortress since 1994. they went
7:51 pm
on to win by 24 points against 17. the team is making progress. unfortunately not being able to convert. make sure a better team going forward. convert. make sure a better team going forward-— going forward. there was disappointment - going forward. there was disappointment down - going forward. there was i disappointment down under going forward. there was - disappointment down under for going forward. there was _ disappointment down under for wales, they suffered a ninth successive international defeat as australia wrapped up their series in melbourne. warren gatland made a sluggish start. 17 points down insidejust 25 minutes. sluggish start. 17 points down inside just 25 minutes. far too sluggish start. 17 points down insidejust 25 minutes. far too much work to do. the bright side was a success story of wells's tour, two tries in this match.
7:52 pm
scotland made it to windsor to two with a win over the usa in washington. doing van der merwe equalled stuart hogg's record of 27 scotland tries. ewan ashman claimed a hat—trick and scotland go to south america for matches against chile and uruguay. back to the football. lots of fans heading down to the brandenburg gate. a focal point for the tens of thousands of fans arriving here. some being entertained as you can see, england have been playing with fire on theirjourney around germany for the last month or so. fans being put through the wringer. that terrible group stage. although late
7:53 pm
drama but here they find themselves and we have spoken to some of them today. nervous, they have won every game, the game as the game, we are going to play the game. yeah. i knew we'd get here. it is ourtime. it is about time. bellingham, 1—0, all over it. hopefully improve on the last one. just to be there isjust an amazing experience anyway. hopefully we get across the line. it's coming home. it's coming home! for having 66 football —related
7:54 pm
arrests over the last month. the head of the policing who i spoke to earlier, fairly content with that but obviously berlin are much bigger city than the others have different challenges. here is what the next 24 hours will bring.— challenges. here is what the next 24 hours will bring. what we sometimes see is administrative _ hours will bring. what we sometimes see is administrative arrests - hours will bring. what we sometimes see is administrative arrests where i see is administrative arrests where people are detained for something simply minor. serious offences we have not seen too many at all to be concerned about. in terms of behaviour we have looked at uefa league tables and it is down the league tables and it is down the league tables and it is down the league tables but when you look at issues in stadium, england are near the bottom. a positive picture we should recognise without being complacent. we will criticise the fans when they cause issue but we need to be fair as well as see on this occasion so far everything has gone pretty well. this occasion so far everything has gone pretty well-— gone pretty well. what are the challenges? — gone pretty well. what are the challenges? we _ gone pretty well. what are the challenges? we have - gone pretty well. what are the challenges? we have been - gone pretty well. what are the - challenges? we have been smaller cities so you pretty much nowhere fans are going to go. first time

england have played at this bigger city, much more challenging to police? city, much more challenging to olice? , ., ., ., police? yes, without going into secifics police? yes, without going into specifics we — police? yes, without going into specifics we have _ police? yes, without going into specifics we have a _ police? yes, without going into specifics we have a number - police? yes, without going into specifics we have a number of. specifics we have a number of english police officers. the germans have a comprehensive operation without being oppressive. resource isn't an issue. we tend to go where angling firms are drinking, they are being monitored, so there is nothing that can be dealt with but we are seeing things like fans, airlines putting on extra trains, a lot of train travel at central station, england france coming in. that will build through tonight and tomorrow. the biggest issue is the bigger numbers and of course the emotions that go with reaching another final. chief constable mark robert has been looking after the uk policing. i
7:56 pm
will leave you with the fans here for this sports day who at brandenburg gate on the eve of the european championship final. i will also leave you with the words of gareth southgate. i am not a believer in fairy tales but i'm a believer in fairy tales but i'm a believer in fairy tales but i'm a believer in dreams. goodnight. hello. it's been a pretty cloudy start to the weekend for most parts of the uk. the thickest cloud running in off the north sea, affecting east scotland and eastern england, where we've also seen some outbreaks of rain. but across the south and west of the country, that's where we've seen the best of breaks in the cloud, although we did have some very heavy downpours across some southern coastal counties with the sunshine coming out across parts of southern england.
7:57 pm
we saw temperatures in the warmest spots reach the low 20s, which felt, i'm sure, quite nice. now, overnight tonight, the low pressure in the north sea stays put. it will continue to feed in these northerly winds, with further outbreaks of rain at times affecting eastern areas of both scotland and england. temperatures for the most part staying into double figures. and for sunday, i think, overall, with that area of low pressure continuing to feed in the cloud across the eastern side of the country, it's here where we'll see damp weather to start off the day. probably quite a lot of cloud elsewhere as well, but i suspect there will be some sunny spells for western scotland and the southern half of both england and wales. where the sunshine comes out, temperatures will push on into the low 20s. it will feel quite nice, but for eastern areas of scotland, eastern england, particularly around those north sea coasts, those temperatures still very disappointing for this time of the year. and heading through monday and tuesday, the next area of low pressure slowly tracks across the uk from the atlantic. now, on monday, the rain really is limited to the southwest, so parts of wales and southwest
7:58 pm
england could have some heavy rain, maybe some thunderstorms mixed in with this, maybe some localised surface water flooding to watch out for. but away from that there should be a fair amount of dry weather and those temperatures are a bit higher than they have been over recent days. we're up to 21 in glasgow, central and eastern england quite widely, seeing temperatures into the low 20s. make the most of that relatively dry day because through tuesday, as the low pressure works into the north sea, the heaviest rain will be across the eastern side of the uk. probably the driest weather through the afternoon will start to move into northern ireland, wales and southwest england. temperatures high, teens to low 20s. quite close really to thejuly average for quite a few places. beyond that, it stays quite unsettled across the northwest of the uk, but further south, high pressure might give us a run of 3 or 4 days of dry and relatively pleasant weather before unsettled conditions return.
