and there's just five hours to go before england face spain in the euro final in berlin. the countdown is on: it's just a matter of hours until england take on spain in the euro 2024 final. a matter of hours until england take excitment is running high for diehard football fans. excitement is running high for diehard football fans. the england men's squad are hoping to win their first major trophy in almost six decades. will england defy the odds or will favourites spain snatch the glory? let's speak to bbc sport's olly foster, who is in berlin for us. olly, tell us a bit about what we can expect from tonight's match. thank you. the streets of berlin are

absolutely packed. as we have been predicting for the last 48 hours, england fans vastly outnumber spanish fans. i spoke to the head of uk policing yesterday, and he said that with the amount of extra flights, all of these weird and wonderfuljourneys england fans are taking, many thousands of them without tickets, they said that there could be up to 50,000 here. there is a scotland fan here! would you believe? they have come out of the woodwork it is notjust english and spanish fans. scotland are supporting the spanish, surprise surprise. many fans of the 24 who started this tournament will have bought those final tickets in hope rather than judgment. bought those final tickets in hope ratherthanjudgment. it will bought those final tickets in hope rather thanjudgment. it will of rather than judgment. it will of course rather thanjudgment. it will of course be majority english and

spanish. perhaps 35 thousand in the stadium about six miles west from here. we are in an area where the fans have absolutely packed out here all day. there was a torrential downpour but the sun is out again. the countdown begins in earnest as it did this morning to a european championship final between spain and england. england, who have stumbled their way through this tournament. it began exactly one month ago. spain winning every single one of their matches along the way, no side has done that, winning six in a row. they have their new teenage superstar who has come to the fore, but you feel england just got things right. they started to click in that semifinal against the dutch. yes, it took a late winner, but that has been the signature of england pass progress through the knockout

stages, late goals, extra time, penalties, and other late winner, and here they are, striding a lot more confidently into the final than they ever were earlier in the tournament. but, as gareth southgate said: they need to be absolutely pitch perfect with their tactics if they are going to lay a glove on the spanish, unless the spanish have a really off day, which they don't look like doing at all. they have knocked out some of the real big guns of european football over the last month, they have knocked out the hosts, germany, that did take extra time, knocking out the french in the semifinals. they beat italy in the semifinals. they beat italy in their group, too. they are match ready and tournament tough because they have overcome some major obstacles to get here. but england, gareth southgate and his players, they mightjust gareth southgate and his players, they might just feel like gareth southgate and his players, they mightjust feel like it's on their side. they mightjust feel like it's on theirside. i5 they might 'ust feel like it's on their side.— they might “ust feel like it's on their side. , ., , u, ., their side. is there any indication of who the _ their side. is there any indication

of who the starting _ their side. is there any indication of who the starting xi _ their side. is there any indication of who the starting xi might - their side. is there any indication of who the starting xi might be? | their side. is there any indication | of who the starting xi might be? i think it will almost certainly be unchanged, going with that same formation he brought in in the quarterfinals against the swiss. that is a back three of kieran trippier starting on the left flank in the wing—back role, the suggestion luke ashour, more left sided, but that would be a change of half—time potentially. i think that he will show faith in the starting xi that he will show faith in the starting x! that saw them start the semifinal, but of course, he then has that wealth of options to come off of the bench like on 0llie watkins. we saw what he did against the dutch. 0ren ivan toney. they came on to replace harry kane. something we weren't expecting to see. certainly, the substitutions have worked, but i think gareth southgate will begin with the same 11 they had against the dutch. find 11 they had against the dutch. and

of course, potentially history in the making. six decades since england won a major tournament. this would be on foreign soil, so that would be on foreign soil, so that would be on foreign soil, so that would be a first.— would be on foreign soil, so that would be a first. yes. england pass 's men would be a first. yes. england pass "s men have _ would be a first. yes. england pass 's men have had _ would be a first. yes. england pass 's men have had a _ would be a first. yes. england pass 's men have had a long, _ would be a first. yes. england pass 's men have had a long, long - would be a first. yes. england pass 's men have had a long, long wait. | �*s men have had a long, long wait. and the thing that strikes me is that you see so many england shirts from through the generations, you think: a kevin keegan war that in the 1980s in the world cup insane spain, then you think of gary lineker in the 1990s, then you see euro 96 strips and you think, that was a great side too. gazza, alan shearer, they fell short at the semifinals. and then the next golden generation, frank lampard, steven gerrard, elwyn, beckham, they again fell short.

gerrard, elwyn, beckham, they again fellshort. but gerrard, elwyn, beckham, they again fell short. but hasn't gareth southgate got this group of players a year rose final last time out as well. back—to—back european finals, remember. a world cup semifinal, a world cup quarterfinal in qatar. they were distally bitterly disappointed in qatar two years ago. now, they seem so relaxed, because this is in theirfirst now, they seem so relaxed, because this is in their first final. now, they seem so relaxed, because this is in theirfirst final. for most of this team going out today, we think that there will be seven starters who also started the year rose final at wembley that they lost on penalties to italy. they are in another final today. they don't have the awe and the nerves of it: we are in our first final for decades. they did it only three years ago, they should be more relaxed. they have already gone over the mental hurdle. 0f already gone over the mental hurdle. of course, the ultimate hurdle is winning one more game and getting past spain to finally end the long wait for the england's men. thank

ou ve wait for the england's men. thank you very much- — let's turn to the spanish players bbcjournalist, sergee forcada. is in lamine yamal�*s hometown — he's youngest ever scorer at the euros and is just 17 years old. england's golden generation, spain have their own, don't they? definitely. all eyes are on lamine yamal, especially here in his home town, half an hourfrom barcelona. there isn't much excitement yet, but thatis there isn't much excitement yet, but that is probably because of the weather. it is over 30 degrees here. there is a watching party being organised here in lamine yamal�*s hometown. it won't open until an hour or so before the game, that everybody here is very proud of him. there were some kids here a moment ago doing the three 04 sign that lamine yamal does when he scores a goal. that is because of 304 is the postcode of this neighbourhood. and

working class neighbourhood. everyone here is really proud of him. he is only 17. it was his birthday yesterday. they hope that today he can help the team to beat england. it today he can help the team to beat encland. , , england. it is interesting. throughout _ england. it is interesting. throughout this - england. it is interesting. . throughout this tournament, england. it is interesting. _ throughout this tournament, england have started. there was a lot of criticism early on. not the case with spain, they have been one of the most exciting teams to watch right from the start.— the most exciting teams to watch right from the start. yes. and that is in site right from the start. yes. and that is in spite of _ right from the start. yes. and that is in spite of having _ right from the start. yes. and that is in spite of having a _ right from the start. yes. and that is in spite of having a tough - is in spite of having a tough competition with rivals like the hosts germany, on the previous winners, italy, or even france in the semifinal. everyone has been praising spain for their performance, and that is why people are quite confident they can beat england tonight. they are confident that they can make it happen, and they also remember that successful years they had in 2008, 2010, and 2012, winning 2 euros cups and a world cup. they think that a decade after all of that success, they can

make it happen again, and that is why even though they know it isn't going to be an easy game, they think and they are confident that they can get the trophy home. if that happens, that would be the first nation to ever win a euro cup for a fourth time. nation to ever win a euro cup for a fourth time-— nation to ever win a euro cup for a fourth time. emer mccarthy is in the spanish holiday town of benidorm for us a favourite tourist destinations for brits of course. 0ver over to you, emer mccarthy. hello from benidorm. _ over to you, emer mccarthy. hello from benidorm. i— over to you, emer mccarthy. hello from benidorm. i have _ over to you, emer mccarthy. hello from benidorm. i have been - 0verto you, emer mccarthy. hello from benidorm. i have been told we have to call it beni. we are here for spain versus england tonight in southern spain. i have made some new friends who have come way from birmingham. cheering lads, tell me about tonight. are be nervous? it lads, tell me about tonight. are be nervous? , nervous? it is in a bag, we are going to win easily. _ going to win easily. 0nce—in—a—lifetime, once—in—a—lifetime,| 0nce—in—a—lifetime, i once—in—a—lifetime, it 0nce—in—a—lifetime, - once—in—a—lifetime, it is 0nce—in—a—lifetime, _ once—in—a—lifetime, it is coming homo _

that england appear to be coming good at the right time? i think that there is a certain level of respect. i don't know if they would be nervous or if they would be taking things seriously. a lot more than they are capable of doing. that 45 minute window against the netherlands in the first half when they started to click and have more mobility on and off the ball, we saw real attacking threat posed, and they were playing exceptionally well. they have absolutely underperformed by and large throughout the competition. spanish football fans know that they have more left in them, they also have substitutions on the bench. gareth southgate is proof that to be the case. he has been making the right calls, so i think that they are cautious. they know england could absolutely cause trouble, and by no means are they going into this thinking: this is going to be a walk in the park and we are going to win, because we took apart italy,

germany, france and so on. so, there will be a level of seriousness about this, no question. i will be a level of seriousness about this, no question. ...— this, no question. i hope that the line hasn't _ this, no question. i hope that the line hasn't frozen. _ this, no question. i hope that the line hasn't frozen. it - this, no question. i hope that the line hasn't frozen. it has - this, no question. i hope that. the line hasn't frozen. it has come back. lamine yamal, his story is an absolutely incredible one, isn't it? it is. and you know, i have been living in barcelona for a very long time and we have known about him for several years, time and we have known about him for severalyears, because time and we have known about him for several years, because over at fc barcelona, the academy, so many people have been saying for years: you need to watch out for his kid. he is an extraordinary talent, like nothing we see coming through at this age, he has been fast tracked through the academy and he joined the first team at 16 years old. he jumped up several levels and was playing with 20 volts when he was 15, he broke reynolds domestically, broke records in the champions league, and he has been breaking records with spain. it has been an unbelievable season for him. they have been several coaches saying: watch out for him, this is exactly

what we said was going to happen. it is refreshing, i think also, to see young talent come up at such important moments, in big tournaments and on big stages, and really drive in the limelight and play with such composure and maturity, and really not be affected ljy maturity, and really not be affected by the pressure and attention he is getting as well. it is phenomenal for spain have such a bright talent, and he is farfrom being the only one. i and he is far from being the only one. . , and he is far from being the only one. ., , ., ., and he is far from being the only one. .,, ., ., and he is far from being the only one. ., ., and he is far from being the only one. ., . one. i was going to say, so much attention on _ one. i was going to say, so much attention on him, _ one. i was going to say, so much attention on him, but— one. i was going to say, so much attention on him, but i _ one. i was going to say, so much attention on him, but i think- one. i was going to say, so much attention on him, but i think that whatjumps out, so many analysts point to the fact that this is a real team that has built up, the squad, notjust an assembly of stars. squad, not 'ust an assembly of stars. . , ' . stars. that is the difference, i think, compared _ stars. that is the difference, i think, compared to _ stars. that is the difference, i think, compared to the - stars. that is the difference, i think, compared to the springj stars. that is the difference, i i think, compared to the spring of 2008 or 2012, when you could pick out size on every single line. going into this tournament, if you look at the score, you would say: who is well known? rodri, from manchester

city, but that is about it. one thing that the coach has done well over the last year and a half since it gave the job is build a over the last year and a half since it gave thejob is build a proper team, a collective and unified team and they are all in the same boat and they are all in the same boat and they are all in the same boat and they are all heading the same direction. they will bind his philosophy and his tactics. it has been clicking and gelling perfectly at this it is really nice to see a lot of players who are on the fringe, have not lived up to expectations have an underwhelming season is. dani olmo is an example. they have shown that this championship and have made each other better. it is nice to see a proper team rather than just certain individuals who are superstars taking on the accolades and taking them into success.— taking on the accolades and taking them into success. great to talk to ou, i them into success. great to talk to you. i hope — them into success. great to talk to you. i hope that — them into success. great to talk to you, i hope that you _ them into success. great to talk to you, i hope that you are _ them into success. great to talk to you, i hope that you are not - them into success. great to talk to l you, i hope that you are not smiling in six hours. that is by the by. laughter thank you forjoining us here on bbc news.

i humbly offer my sincerest sympathy. you need to summon your own strength at such a terrible reason, and that saddens me. a monster who recognised my husband and his inhuman political machine attempted to ring out donald's passion, laughter, love, music, and inspiration. the core facets of my husband's life, his human side, but buried beneath the political machine. donald, the generous and caring man who i have been do the best of times at the best of times. that isn't the main part of milani at trump's statement. that line jumping out: a monster who recognised my husband and his inhuman political machine attempted to ring out donald's passion. that statement from

milani —— melania trump. there were some incredible images. i saw one image of the track line of one of them and it's going past donald trump a's head, you will remember the image of him with his fist pumping and the blood splattered across his face. it clipped his ear. this is the moment when the shots rang out. donald trump ducking behind the podium. there is an incredible still of him there. at ground level. shot between there. at ground level. shot between the legs of various people. the security service agents who get to protect the president. those are the images that have played and replayed. let you —— let me tell you some of the latest information we are getting. the wall streetjournal is reporting the suspected shooter had explosive devices in his car,

thatis had explosive devices in his car, that is being reported on the reuters news agency. and writers also report that the gun recovered at a rally was illegally purchased by the father of the suspect. that is being reported by abc news, citing law enforcement. these are the pictures of a bloodied donald trump. this is the yearbook photograph of the suspect, he was shot dead moments after the shots were fired, thomas matthew crooks is 20 years old —— was 20 years old. that was a yearbook photograph. that is the image i was referencing, between the legs of all of those people. certainly, in those that split second, they got around the former president to try to protect him. secret service agents. huge question marks aboutjust how this

happened. but, in those moments, the split seconds afterwards, these are the scenes as they protected the president, and moments later, he managed to stand up, the fist pump, and he said: fight, fight. across his face, there was blood. those are the images that have gone around the world. talking about reaction from around the world, let me take you through that. we start here in the uk. sir keir starmer said: through that. we start here in the uk. sir keir starmersaid: i through that. we start here in the uk. sir keir starmer said: i am appalled by the shocking scenes of president trump's rally, to we sent him and his family our best wishes.

the kremlin has also responded to the attempt on donald trump's life. president putin's press secretary, dmitry peskov, said this morning:

those are the latest details and the latest reaction we have had from global leaders. we will have the latest on the ground from the us teams here in a moment. let us pause for a couple of minutes to catch up with the latest weather. hello, there. so far thisjuly, there are quite a few places that have already seen well over the july average rainfall, and those places are particularly found across southern and eastern england and the north east of aberdeenshire. leading the rainfall league of misery is loftus, where we've already had well over double the july average

rainfall, even though the facts were not quite at the halfway point of the month. now, today we do have a bit more in the way of sunshine to come across southern and western areas of the uk. that's going to feel quite pleasant, but for eastern scotland and northern and eastern parts of england, we've still got this thick cloud bringing outbreaks of rain, thanks to the same area of low pressure that brought all that wet weather in yesterday as well. in yesterday, as well. it's going to be quite cool around these north sea coasts, but where the sunshine comes out this afternoon feeling quite pleasant, temperatures quite widely, sneaking into the low 20s. overnight tonight, some further damp weather to come around. some of these eastern coast of scotland, north east england otherwise clear spells developing. temperature around 10 or ii c. now for monday and tuesday. we're then looking at the next area of low pressure that's going to be bringing more rain to england and wales. the first sign of that rain on monday morning will be across wales and south west england, before the rain spreads into the south east and across the south midlands as well. to the north of that, it's not a bad day monday. it's not a bad day, monday.

northern england, northern ireland and scotland broken clouds, some sunny spells and feeling quite pleasant. temperatures into the low 20s. but the rain across wales and south west england could be heavy enough to cause some concerns about localised flooding, and there's likely to be some thunderstorms mixed in with this rain too. then, through monday night, the rain extends northwards and eastwards and into tuesday could bring some further heavy downpours into the areas of the uk that have already seen well over double the averagejuly rainfall, so that's one to watch. but further north again, tuesday, not a bad day for scotland and northern ireland with some sunny spells. temperatures high teens to low 20s. if only we could see an area of high pressure that would settle the weather down for a time. well, wednesday is probably the day. the high pressure probably not hanging around, but i think for the vast majority of the uk, wednesday is a dry day. temperatures close to average about 24 in london., very pleasant. but then we'll start to see some rain return to northern ireland and scotland as we head into thursday. then the weather turns generally more unsettled for most of us through friday and into next weekend.
