the president who came to tea — the queen will hostjoe biden at windsor castle this afternoon. denmark's christian eriksen is in a stable condition in hospital after collapsing during a match at the european championships. borisjohnson urges caution ahead of a decision on whether lockdown restrictions will be lifted in england, with the possibility of a four week delay. is it the end of an era for benjamin netanyahu? his 12—year reign as prime minister is expected to be ended by a vote in the israeli parliament later. now, the sport with chetan pathak. good morning. denmark's christian eriksen is in a stable condition in hospital after collapsing during his team's match with finland. the game was postponed for almost two hours before resuming when the danish players decided they wanted to finish the match, which they lost 1—0.
9:33 am
it was a team decision, and i think that we all have to respect what the team did in that situation. it was discussed, should they have waited. waited for what? i havejust learned that they have cancelled all the press activities, all their morning training today, and they are trying, i heard the director of football saying getting people into support the players, so... well, it was their decision, and now they have to take care of themselves. when the news that christian eriksen was awake and stable, uefa confirmed that other european championship games would go ahead as planned. england are next up for the home nations — their campaign starts this afternoon against croatia at wembley. 0lly foster looks ahead to the action. after a week of training and team bonding at their
9:34 am
st george's park base, now the fun and games really began. there was a first day at school feel when they were given their england suits. they are one the youngest squads in the tournament, but also one of the most exciting, and looking to come of age in the weeks ahead. we have this young group, who are hungry to do well and to make the nation proud. so going into every game, we are going to be ready and trying to perform to the best of our ability. for some of the players, this match against croatia is going to bring back memories of the 2018 world cup, the semifinal defeat. but you've got to go back 25 years to the last time they made it that far at a european championship. rewinding through a quarter of a century is painful. a last 16 defeat against iceland in 2016 — that really hurt. so did 2012, beaten by italy on penalties in the quarterfinals. they didn't even qualify in 2008, and it was the portuguese that sent
9:35 am
england packing from the spot in 2004, quarterfinals again. they couldn't get out of their group in 2000, and that takes us to 1996 — a chapter that helped shape the current england manager. he again feels a huge responsibility after such a horrible yearfor so many. he is well aware that his team can have a positive impact. the england team is often a catalyst for bringing people together, bringing communities together, bringing families together, so of course in the process of doing that we want to play well, we want to win, we want to excite people. despite their eventual defeat to this afternoon's opponents, england really did lift the nation with that run to the world cup semifinals three years ago, and though croatia will be dangerous again, england are favourites, and they've got another thing going for them in a tournament spread across the continent.

home advantage could count for an awful lot. 0llie foster, bbc news. and also last night belgium beat russia 3—0 in group b, the same group as denmark and finland. romelu lukaku scored the opening goal and he had a message for his inter milan teammate christian eriksen as he celebrated, saying "chris, i love you!" england's cricketers are on the verge of defeat against new zealand in the second test at edgbaston. they'll resume this morning with a lead ofjust 37 after being reduced to 112 for 9 in their second innings. captainjoe root was among england's top order failures. tailender mark wood top scored with just 29, but he fell to neil wagner. so england look almost certain to lose the two match series after the first test was drawn. former england captain michael vaughan says there's been too much inconsistency.
9:37 am
they have changed too much. they are now not looking at a side that has got that many partnerships in the batting. young, fragile batting line—up. they should be able to play better, they should score more runs, but i do look at the rotating and all this swapping and this hurts a team. in test match cricket is all about consistency. consistency of selection, playing together over long periods of time, series after series, and they get used to playing with each other. when you swap and change so much you will get inconsistencies, and that is what is happening. it's men's finals day at the french open with 18—time grand slam winner, novak djokovic taking on the greek fifth seed stefanos tsitsipas later. in the women's final meanwhile, barbora krejcikova dedicated her french open win to herformer coach, the late jana novotna. the unseeded czech beat anastasia pavlyuchenkova in three sets at roland garros to claim her first singles grand slam title, and she was quick to pay tribute to herformer mentor and 1998

wimbledon champion who died from cancer four years ago. that's all the sport for now. now on bbc news, the papers. hello and welcome to our look at what the papers are bringing us today. with me are caroline wheeler, deputy political editor of the sunday times, and john crowley, who's a businessjournalist. we'll talk to them in a moment. first today's front pages. miracle on the pitch — the headline of the sunday mirror, leading on danish footballer christian eriksen�*s collapse midway through denmark's game against finland in the euros on saturday. the player is now in a stable condition in hospital. the telegraph leads with concerns that britain will have a six—week
9:39 am
window to open up again, or risk keeping covid—19 restrictions in place until next spring. the independent also focuses on the potential delay to ending restrictions in england, saying that postponing reopening could cost the hospitality industry £3 billion. ministers should be banned from lobbying for up to five years after leaving office — the sunday times front page looks ahead to the anti—corruption watchdog's announcement this coming week in the wake of the greensill scandal. and the daily mail leads on the relationship between buckingham palace and the duke and duchess of sussex, saying that the queen will no longer stay silent regarding "mistruths" about the royal family. so, let's begin. lots to get through. good morning to you, thank you forjoining us. let's start with you, caroline, with the mirror "miracle on the pitch". a disturbing image of a seemingly for 29—year—old

tight—knit group, even if they play for different countries, they will often come together in teams in this country to play in the premier league, and i think there will be both great shock at what happened, but also a great relief that actually christian eriksen is now stable, and it appears that he is going to be ok. but yes, not a great start. you wonder what would have happened had they not continue that match yesterday, the suggestion they might play that game today. what sort of state mentally they were into continue that game last night, or indeed even if they had had to do it today. and of course, that may have had an impact on the mental preparedness that our players, you know, they often go through rigorous routines before they play these high—profile matches, and how that might have affected their readiness to play today. but the game is going ahead, it's against our old rivals croatia, and it will certainly be an interesting match to watch. i would

9:47 am
rise. what we expect to happen tomorrow is that the prime minister will introduce a four week delay to the lifting of restrictions coming into force so that he can get more people over a0 double vaccinated, but i think the idea that there won't be restricted per se after that. politically, it is very difficult for boris johnson to maintain difficult for borisjohnson to maintain that difficult for boris johnson to maintain that path unless we see significant numbers of people dying again. of course, we have not broken that link between deaths and the virus as yet, but the link has been reduced in that we are not seeing the numbers in hospital that we did before. people who are being treated are younger, and therefore much more likely to withstand the virus. but that's where your concern comes from, it's about what happens in the autumn. my hope, and we have got to have hope in this situation, is that the vaccine is resilient against these new variants, and as more of
9:48 am
these new variants, and as more of the country gets that vaccination, that second vaccination, it makes it easier for the government to lift those restrictions. but as i say, it is the seasonal nature of this virus thatis is the seasonal nature of this virus that is the issue at the moment. it that is the issue at the moment. it is this race between the virus and the vaccine programme, and just gathering as much data as possible. why this window, and why will this window dictate whether those restrictions are into next year? the roblem restrictions are into next year? the problem with _ restrictions are into next year? the problem with the vaccine programme at the _ problem with the vaccine programme at the moment is that there is a shortage — at the moment is that there is a shortage of visor vaccines. you look at the _ shortage of visor vaccines. you look at the rate — shortage of visor vaccines. you look at the rate of— shortage of visor vaccines. you look at the rate of vaccines, the rate of vaccines _ at the rate of vaccines, the rate of vaccines being put into people 's arms— vaccines being put into people 's arms in— vaccines being put into people 's arms in march and april, it has fallen— arms in march and april, it has fallen a — arms in march and april, it has fallen a lot _ arms in march and april, it has fallen a lot. —— visor. fallen a lot. —— they arms in march and april, it has fallen a lot. —— they will have to try to _ fallen a lot. —— they will have to try to find — fallen a lot. —— they will have to try to find some more vaccines down the back— try to find some more vaccines down the back of— try to find some more vaccines down the back of the sofa. the point of the back of the sofa. the point of the sunday— the back of the sofa. the point of the sunday telegraph piece, and as caroline _ the sunday telegraph piece, and as

the committee. this is really the body that was empowered to make sure that all of the public bodies that exist are upheld to the highest standards of anti—corruption standards of anti—corru ption measures, standards of anti—corruption measures, and lord evans, former head of m15, chaired that committee. he has come up with a number of recommendations in this interim report, which he believes need to be implemented immediately in order to clean up politics and clean—up sleaze. 0ne clean up politics and clean—up sleaze. one of the main recommendations is that in some circumstances it warrants a five year ban from lobbying for x ministers and so they can't go straight from a role in which they had direct and personal responsibility into a job where they can use that information for their own private gain. the other fascinating idea is introducing
9:53 am
civil penalties for rule breakers. in the instance of david cameron, suggestions that had he breached the rules he might have found himself in some kind of financial punishment. the other fascinating part of this is that they are now talking about the fact that we need to expand what we consider lobbying. in formal lobbying now needs to be taken into scope and that includes whatsapp messages, zoom meetings, casual drinks down the pub with a mate, which again is prevalent in what we expose in the greensill saga. suggestions that david cameron was casually texting people within 10 downing street and the department of health, asking in effect for favours. and now the committee is saying that is not on, we need to know about that. most of this information is registered through transparency documents, which is supposed to be published by government departments allegedly on

a quarterly basis, but if you have ever seen how that information is presented, it is in a spreadsheet with no discussion about what sort of information was disclosed, or what discussions were held. again, the committee is saying that's not on, we need to know what is being done, where there is anything to be concerned about in terms of people using their positions for private gain. with —— they want to blow this apart and this is a significant overhaul of the rules that they are proposing. overhaul of the rules that they are --roosina. v overhaul of the rules that they are --roosina. �*, . overhaul of the rules that they are --roosina. fl . ., proposing. let's bounce to the sunday express. _ proposing. let's bounce to the sunday express. just - proposing. let's bounce to the sunday express. just a - proposing. let's bounce to the sunday express. just a quick i proposing. let's bounce to the i sunday express. just a quick nod proposing. let's bounce to the - sunday express. just a quick nod to the g7. lots of coverage on bbc news today. borisjohnson giving the eu a seven—day deadline to end sausage wars. seven-day deadline to end sausage wars. , ,., , seven-day deadline to end sausage wars. , , ., wars. yes, so he is saying that the structure and _ wars. yes, so he is saying that the structure and integrity _ wars. yes, so he is saying that the structure and integrity of - wars. yes, so he is saying that the structure and integrity of the - wars. yes, so he is saying that the structure and integrity of the uk . wars. yes, so he is saying that the structure and integrity of the uk is paramount — structure and integrity of the uk is paramount and we should have the

thanks to our guests, and to you for watching. hello. blue skies today will bring some pretty hot weather, but elsewhere, even if the cloud is with you, it will still be a warm and humid day. cloud across northern england and wales will break up to allow sunny spells. the cloud remains thickest across the highlands and islands, and here into 0rkney and shetland later today outbreaks of rain could become more extensive. keep in pollen levels at bay. but we could see very high levels across much of england, not helped by the sun, humid conditions and heat. 29 celsius possible in some spots. 26 degrees in the east of scotland. 1a in stornoway. 29 degrees in wembley for england 's opening match against croatia. very
9:58 am
humid conditions, so remember your water. a humid and muggy night tonight. things turning fresher across scotland and northern ireland as a weather front pushes southwards, but south of it 15 or 16 will be the low into tomorrow morning with a phew spot still warmer than that. to the south and east of this weather line, the humid air is gradually getting squeezed out through monday. something a bit fresher across the north, but breezy with sunshine and showers in scotland and later into northern ireland. this is a weather front which starts with some patchy rain and drizzle, pushing south and by the end of monday it is to the south and east where the humid air will last the longest. maybe even 30 degrees in the south—east corner. mid or high teens across the northern half of the country. a big contrast on monday. not as dark on tuesday. high—pressure moves out of the way ahead of another wave of tropical air heading from the west later. that comes with cloud and
9:59 am
rain into the west of northern ireland, the west of scotland later in the day. a dry and bright day for most with the best of the sunshine across england and wales. not as hot or humid as sunday or monday, but still pretty warm. what will follow will be a very humid night on tuesday. rain in parts of scotland and northern ireland. even more humid air drawing up from the south, and by the end of the day temperatures could reach 20 non—30 in the south—east corner, and we could some storms.
