10:02 pm
gave hope to millions. christian eriksen leaving the parken stadium on a stretcher, dazed but awake. moments earlier, it had all seemed far more worrying. the game was near half—time when, without a player around him, he staggered to the ground and collapsed. team—mates immediately recognised how serious this was, forming a protective ring around him as medics rushed onto the pitch. but fans and players could only look on in horror as doctors attempted to resuscitate the midfielder. as his wife reached pitch side, her husband's team—mates moved to console her. english referee anthony taylor swiftly suspended the match, as fans of both denmark and finland chanted eriksen�*s name. back in the bbc studio, former players struggled to contain their emotions.

expectation, what's going to happen, it's scary. the match between denmark and finland continued tonight after both teams requested to restart the game. eriksen had spoken to his team—mates from his hospital bed to reassure them he was ok. in belgium's game against russia, his inter milan team—mate romelu lukaku paid his own tribute. chris, i love you! eriksen is now stable in hospital. football so often divides, but tonight a continent drew a collective sigh of relief. and nataliejoins me from wembley now. it was a shocking event, what is the latest? �* it was a shocking event, what is the latest? ~ , , ., latest? the uefa president tonight said that moments _ latest? the uefa president tonight said that moments like _ latest? the uefa president tonight said that moments like this - latest? the uefa president tonight said that moments like this put - said that moments like this put everything in perspective, at this time, the unity of the football family is so strong and he and his family is so strong and he and his family carry with them the good wishes and prayers of everyone. the

denmark coach has been in tears understandably tonight after the match finally finished, he called it a really tough evening, where we've been reminded what the most important things are in life, meaningful relationships, people who are close to us. we still don't know the full ins and outs of what happened. the danish fa football director only said that he got heart the pitch, and just like fabrice muamba, it was the quick thinking of those medics on the pitch which has potentially saved christian eriksen�*s life tonight. when this happened, journalists like me were getting ready to interview gareth southgate and harry kane, the england captain who spent seven years with three ericsson at spurs. understandably the fa asked for that to years with kitchen ericsson at spurs. understandably the fa asked for that to be cancelled, it would been very difficult for him to speak to to us not knowing how his friend was. england play croatia tomorrow, but tonight, none of that matters, we have been reminded of at spurs. understandably the fa asked for that
10:06 pm
to be cancelled, it would have been very difficult for him to speak to us not knowing how his friend was. england play croatia tomorrow, but tonight, none of that matters, we have been reminded of the old football saying, that football is the most important in the day's other news — borisjohnson has told the bbc that there are grounds for caution ahead of a final decision on monday about the lifting of all remaining covid restrictions in england. increasing concern about the spread of the delta variant which first emerged in india has led to speculation of a delay of up to four weeks. here's our political editor, laura kuenssberg. of the least the virus is growing again. of the least the virus is growing a . ain. , , �* , of the least the virus is growing aaain. , , �*, ,., again. the prime minister's hopes of liftin: all again. the prime minister's hopes of lifting all limits _ again. the prime minister's hopes of lifting all limits on _ again. the prime minister's hopes of lifting all limits on our _ again. the prime minister's hopes of lifting all limits on our lives - again. the prime minister's hopes of lifting all limits on our lives in - again. the prime minister's hopes of lifting all limits on our lives in a - lifting all limits on our lives in a week are burning under the sun. today, outside the gates, the virus is growing again. the prime minister's hopes of lifting all limits on our lives in a week are burning under the borisjohnson was not denying that there will be all going to be lifted on 21stjune? what i can certainly say is that we are looking at the data and we will continue to do that and we will say

10:09 pm
will have some pragmatic solutions, and if we don't, it is the prime duty of the uk government to uphold the territorial integrity of the united kingdom. and that is what we're going to do. and we will do whatever it takes to ensure that. but look, the uk left almost nothing to chance, in the meticulous choreography of this summit. forget the queen or the red carpets, a stunning flyby of the red arrows. the prime minister wants nothing less than a new formation of the world's democracies. the commitment to that from those here seems real, but the intricate ins and outs of different national agendas doesn't fit easily into one line. one big ambition, but there are many pilots, and a pattern we can't predict. laura kuenssberg, bbc news,

cornwall. delaying the full reopening of the economy will put tens of thousands ofjobs and businesses at risk, that's according to the trade body uk hospitality. businesses say they are counting on a full reopening on 21stjune to make up for major losses during lockdown and periods of restriction. more from our business correspondent katy austin. you can dine, but you can't dance. now, this nightclub can only offer food and drink with table service. it's some income, after more than a year closed, but the boss is desperate to fully reopen, and not cancel sell—out shows in late june. we'd lose tens of thousands of pounds revenue every week, of pounds of revenue every week, from not being open, so, it's a massive loss, we need this, this is the bounceback, and we're totally preparing to make up for some of the things that we've not had. businesses involved in weddings are hoping the 30—person limit is removed.
10:11 pm
we make a loss on anything less than 70 guests at a wedding. we are doing them because we just want our couples to be able to get married, but it's financially not viable for us. what will you do then if restrictions aren't lifted on 21st june? i think we'll probably cry. it's destroying our business. we've obviously moved all our weddings from march last year to this year, and they keep getting moved and moved and moved, so to postpone again would be quite difficult. the bosses of hospitality venues like pubs, restaurants and cafes are also anxiously awaiting monday's decision. right now, they can open, but the current limits to how they can operate mean many say making a profitjust isn't possible. from july, employers' contributions to furlough payments rise to 10% of hours not worked, while the government pays 70%. whether or not all restrictions are lifted on 21stjune also affects decisions about the return of staff to offices.
10:12 pm
a lot is riding on the prime minister's announcement. katy austin, bbc news. the latest official figures on the pandemic show that in the past 2a hours, 12 deaths were reported and there have been 7,738 new infections, which means an average of 6,838 new cases per day in the last week. nearly 203,000 people received a first dose of the vaccine in the latest 24—hour period, meaning more than 41 million people have now had their firstjab, over 78% of uk adults. the number of people who've had their second dose of the vaccine in the latest 24—hour period is over 285,000. more than 29.4 million have had both doses, meaning nearly 56% of uk adults are fully vaccinated. the parents of teenager harry dunn, who died in a fatal crash involving

10:14 pm
it is the queen's birthday parade, marking this year, her 95th birthday and for the second year, because of the pandemic, the parade took place within the comparative privacy of windsor castle rather than in public on horse guards parade in central london. unlike last year's very reduced parade, this year a colour was trooped from the 2nd battalion of the scots guards. the standard was paraded through the ranks. there was intricate drill, closely observed by a monarch who attended her first birthday parade with herfather, george vi. wistful moments, perhaps, with memories of the many years when she would always have been accompanied to this parade by her husband. but this is a monarch who is keeping busy. last night she was in cornwall at the g7 summit. tomorrow she will be hosting president biden at windsor and, all being well, next year trooping the colour will be back on horse guards parade,
