good afternoon. 20 million people watched on tv yesterday, as well as 22,500 fans at wembley, to see scotland play england. it was the first time the two home nations met in a one—off encounter at a major men's football tournament in 25 years. the game ended 0—0 but scottish fans were delighted, after their first defeat to croatia. frankie mccamley has the story. the morning after the night before, a headache all round. especially for

those dealing with the aftermath in london's leicester square, cleaning throughout the night and this morning. the old scottish fan helping out, to. the square is starting to regain some sense of normality but there is damage that is going to take some time to fix. this waterfountain used is going to take some time to fix. this water fountain used to be surrounded by a flower bed. it is now caked in mud, bottles and cans, and the stench of alcohol is hard to ignore. we and the stench of alcohol is hard to innore.~ ,., _ and the stench of alcohol is hard to innore.~ ,., , , and the stench of alcohol is hard to innore.~ , , ., ., ignore. we probably could have done a bit better. — ignore. we probably could have done a bit better, supporter— ignore. we probably could have done a bit better, supporter wise, - ignore. we probably could have done a bit better, supporter wise, for- a bit better, supporter wise, for the mess. i hope it does not take too long to clean up. if there are fan zones, everyone is controlled and that is the way it should be, there was no reason for there not to be fans own. the there was no reason for there not to be fans own-— be fans own. the lack of official sace be fans own. the lack of official space meant — be fans own. the lack of official space meant many _ be fans own. the lack of official space meant many stayed - be fans own. the lack of official space meant many stayed at. be fans own. the lack of official - space meant many stayed at home, glasgow's george square packed full of supporters. but thousands of other members of the tartan army went to london anyway, ignoring warnings not to come without a ticket, blue and white drenched

you mentioned, 20 million watched this 0-0 you mentioned, 20 million watched this 0—0 draw, hotly anticipated match on tv but more than 20,000 were lucky enough to get inside wembley. after the match, the scotland head coach steve clarke had nothing but praise for his players. we will hear from him nothing but praise for his players. we will hearfrom him injust a moment but the england supporters booed their team off at full—time. england manager gareth southgate was fairly diplomatic about the result and the response from the fans. 0ur fans are entitled to react however they want. we are disappointed with our own performance and i totally understand their reaction. we were expected to beat scotland. they will be frustrated by that. yes, in the end, we have got to live with that and deal with that. we have been improving for a long time so it was nice to see the boys play on the pitch. we defended well. the most pleasing aspect was we played well. the objective was to get something out of the game so we could go into the last game with a genuine chance of qualifying out of the group and that is what we've

done, so we're pleased with that. well, the draw means scotland have one point in the tournament and they need to win their final match on tuesday against croatia if they want any chance of getting out of the group stages. england play at the same time against the czech republic and they will qualify if they win their final game and they will qualify if they win theirfinal game but and they will qualify if they win their final game but the fans might be looking for a more impressive performance. thank you forjoining us. pop—up vaccination centres and walk—in clinics are opening in england this weekend, in a major push to offer coronavirus jabs to all remaining adults. it comes as surge testing is being rolled out in areas of south london and cumbria amid a rise in cases. here's our health correspondent katharine da costa. charlton athletic playing host to a p°p�*up charlton athletic playing host to a pop—up vaccination centre, one of a number of extra clinics in the capital making it even easier to access the jab. some are offering walk—in slots to over 185 but here,

a rally against the northern ireland protocol has heard calls for the dup not to nominate a new first minister until it is abandoned. paul givan remains first minister following the resignation of edwin poots a5 dup leader, but could be replaced when a new leader is chosen. if they refused to nominate a replacement, power—sharing would colla pse. last year, covid re5trictions wiped out the uk's summer festival 5ea5on. this year, despite many events being delayed or cancelled, some are going ahead. download festival at donington park near derby is one of them. it's taking place this weekend as part of the governments live event pilot scheme. the crowd is smaller and all those attending have had to have a negative covid te5t. 0ur correspondent luxmy gopal is there. luxmy. welcome to back5tage welcome to backstage at download. it is a much smaller festival than usual but it is hugely scaled up from the government's previous cove

act—macro pilot te5t event5. up to 10,000 people are camping for three days, with no social distancing and no ma5k5 required. and it also hosts the first illegal mo5h pit since the pandemic began in what is possibly the closest return to normality yet. they seem like scenes from pre—pandemic time5, rather than just this weekend. no masks and no keeping two metres apart. after all, you can't do social distancing in a mo5h pit. the download festival pilot is a huge stepping up of the government's testing of live events. three days long, with capacity for 10,000 happy camper5. to be back here isju5t... it's incredible. i will go through every guideline and jump through every hoop they want me to to get back here like this. live festivals are basically all i do with my spare time, and live music, so it isjust incredible to be able to be here again and experience that. strict measures are in place to allow this level of freedom at the site. the event will help

guide government policy. people are going to be living on site so we are going to understand that kind of living and socialising interaction and also, we are going to have a large—scale 5tage type event and be able to look at the science and understanding of things like the mo5h pit5. we do the maximum in our power at events to reduce the risk. i think the question for the future is the one that you ask is what level of risk are we happy to take with the sort of events? i think we will be able to calibrate that through the research we are doing. data suggests cases are spreading mainly among the under 255. around a fifth of people here are that demographic. that age group are gathering together wherever they are. what they are doing here is gathering together safely because they have all been tested before they came. limits on crowd sizes at outdoor events were set to be lifted on monday, but rising infection rates have delayed that stage of the lockdown road map by months. delayed that stage of the lockdown road map by a month. there will be further pilot events in the coming months to learn more about how crowds and covid

safety can coexist. luxmy gopal, bbc news. back to the football now, and wales take on italy tomorrow in rome. the home nation are hoping to repeat their success of the previous game — a 2—0 victory over turkey — which means, as things stand, wales are on track to go through to the knock—out stages of the tournament. hywel griffith is in rome for us. hywel. hopes are high for the game and what will the key challenges be in taking on the italians?— on the italians? yes, wales have already landed, _ on the italians? yes, wales have already landed, knowing, - on the italians? yes, wales have already landed, knowing, as - on the italians? yes, wales have already landed, knowing, as you| on the italians? yes, wales have - already landed, knowing, as you say, they have hopefully already done enough after the victory against turkey la5t enough after the victory against turkey last wednesday. the last minute goal from connor roberts really sealed a strong welsh performance and hopefully meant they are already through to the next stage but the task in rome tomorrow will be a lot tougher. since failing to qualify for the 2018 world cup, italy have been through something of a renaissance. 29 games unbeaten, almost 1000 minutes of football

without conceding a goal. now, because italy have won both of their games, potentially tomorrow they might take their foot off the pedal but the italian manager roberto mancini has already said he does not want his team to be seen as favourites, and he knows the intense scrutiny of the italian team here means they will need to perform, too, so a tough task lie5 means they will need to perform, too, so a tough task lies ahead at the olympic stadium, about 300 welsh fan5 expected to watch it. thank the olympic stadium, about 300 welsh fans expected to watch it.— fans expected to watch it. thank you for “oinint fans expected to watch it. thank you forjoining us- _ you can see more on all of today's stories on the bbc news channel. the next news on bbc one is at 5.05pm. bye for now. hello. for those of you watching in south—east england, you don't need me to tell you how miserable the weather has been in the last couple of days. in north hampshire, we picked up the heaviest rain, 72 millimetres falling in the last

couple of days compared with the june average of 48 so it has been exceptionally wet with already more than a month's worth of rain in places but it has not been like that everywhere this month. actually, the northern half of the uk having a dry time of things, edinburgh, ju5t northern half of the uk having a dry time of things, edinburgh, just 5 million litres of rain so far this month instead of the 60 we would normally 5ee month instead of the 60 we would normally see in june. month instead of the 60 we would normally 5ee injune. today, a lot of cloud round but some breaks in the cloud, particularly in1988, in 1988, khamenei has decided to eradicate all oppo5ition, rainy and opposition decreed the and he decreed the fatwa. let's get more now on iran's presidential election. the man projected to win by a wide margin france. again, these are going to take a while to reach 5outhern areas of england, there could be an odd one through the afternoon but essentially, a lot of dry weather and showers continuing to affect central and eastern areas of scotland. temperatures for the most part around 18 but with 5un5hine for southern scotland, northern ireland, 5outhern scotland, northern ireland, northern england and north wales, locally we could get up to 21 celsius in brighter 5pots. 0vernight, showers and thunderstorms begin to push northwards. there will probably be a more pronounced area

of widespread let's get more now on iran's presidential election. the man projected to win by a wide margin is a hardline cleric — ebrahim rai5i — a harsh critic of the west and a close ally of the country's 5upreme leader. a little earlier i spoke to tahar bumedra — he is a member of the advisory board ofjustice for victims of 1988 massacre in iran — a political campaign group. i began by asking him what happened in 1988 and why it was relevant to the election. in 1988, khamenei has decided to eradicate all oppo5ition, iraninan opposition, and he decreed the fatwa. ebrahim rai5i i5 ebrahim rai5i is responsible for the execution of potentially over 30,000 people. he is a self—confessed murderer. what does his elevation to president mean to ordinary people in iran for their rights, for those who object, publicly objected to the current regime? it is object, publicly ob'ected to the current regime?_ current regime? it is quite a difficult time _ current regime? it is quite a difficult time for _ current regime? it is quite a difficult time for the - current regime? it is quite a difficult time for the people | current regime? it is quite a l difficult time for the people of iran to see an ultraconservative to be chosen to become president of

things could be built on greenfield land. the government has said it will prioritise brownfield land but they will be some ongoing conversations around all that and i think what has taken people by surprise is the scale of the death defeat —— defeat. they will be quite a lot of head scratching in the conservative party. and there is concern that they could be a wider trend. the liberal democrats will hope that there is. you saw their leader talked about knocking down the proverbial blue wall, well, that happened the other day and they will hope that that is a trend that they can eat into conservative heartland 5eat5. a three—day coronavirus travel ban has come into force in the portuguese capital, lisbon, as new covid cases continue to rise. the number of daily infections are back to levels last seen in february. thejump in infections comes less

of the issues raised in that interview, you can contact the bbc action line. the website is bbc dot co dot uk forward—slash action line. roman catholic bishops in the us have voted overwhelmingly to draft a teaching document addressing whether catholic politicians who support abortion rights — including presidentjoe biden — should be barred from communion. the decision is seen as a direct rebuke to mr biden, and exposes the deep political and cultural divisions within the american church. 0ur north america correspondent, david willis, has more. seen here attending mass on the day he was inaugurated, joe biden is arguably the most religiously observant commander—in—chief in half a century. but even as he was being sworn in, a senior church leader was condemning the new president for his advancement of so—called "moral evils", among them his views on abortion.

in the name of the father and of the son... it is a divisive issue for the church hierarchy here in the us and, in their spring assembly, it was argued that those whose views were at odds with church teaching shouldn't be allowed to receive communion. the eyes of the whole country are on us right now. if we fail now and do not act courageously in presenting church teaching — again, this is a teaching document, comprehensive — of presenting this clearly and convincingly on this core catholic value, how can we expect to be taken seriously when speaking on any other topic? the vatican is wary, fearing such a move could politicise the sacrament of holy communion. 0thers fear the issue could deepen divisions among american catholics at a time when the church needs to rebuild its congregation after the pandemic. quite a few pastors here in chicago are puzzled to hear the bishops now want to talk about excluding people at a time when the real challenge before thgen is welcoming people

back to the regular practice of the faith and rebuilding their communities. the president himself clearly didn't want to be drawn on the issue. that is a private matter and i don't think it's going to happen. thank you. a private matter which, it is felt for those who favour the more conservative christianity of the trump era, might have more to do with the election calendar than religion. there seems to be a rush to this and i don't think the holy spirit traditionally works that quickly and certainly the roman catholic church doesn't. i can't help but wonder if the years 2022 and 2024 might be part of the rush. joe biden favours a more liberal christianity, one focused on issues such as poverty and climate change and racial inequality, but abortion is such a sensitive issue here that his stance on it may yet lead to him being barred from receiving holy communion.

it's very sad because they are using this to bully the president with something that is profoundly sacred to him and many of our elected officials, so i think it would be a cause of great embarrassment for the church and a cause of great pain for our elected officials. the election of the most religiously observant president sincejimmy carter has exposed once again the deep divisions within the catholic church. the bishops are due to meet again in november. the conservative mp forwakefield, imran ahmad khan, has been charged with sexually assaulting a 15—year—old boy in 2008. in a statement on twitter, he denied the accusation in what he says are "the strongest terms". the wakefield mp has been suspended from the conservative party, and will next appear in court injuly. it may not seem like the most obvious outlet for stress relief, but a new charity initiative which encourages screaming is proving popular in newcastle.

it's one of a number of unorthodox techniques being used to help support frontline workers suffering from pandemic fatigue. megan paterson has been finding out more. music: children of the night by nakatomi. let's go. in a secluded corner of this gateshead park, nhs key workers are letting out the tension built up over the pandemic months. physically exhausted. er... when i go home, i can't even talk about work. i just like to switch off. so it's been nice todayjust to get away from all the pressures at work, to take time for myself — which i haven't done for i don't know how long. keep doing your chanting — it doesn't matter if it sounds ridiculous! the one—day respite sessions organised by the peer—run recoco mental health charity offer a chance to shout, dance and drum away stress. some of the activities and exercises you'll have seen that we're doing,

they look a bit daft, you know, but it works! it helps people kind of shake stuff off. it helps people realise what's going on in their body, where they're holding stress. i've had enough, i've had enough. i am enough, i am enough. it's helping people kind of realise their resilience, and learn management and coping mechanisms and techniques that can help them continue — because they've still got to go to work tomorrow, and the day after, and the day after. today's group work in mental health services — their patients often confused and overwhelmed, covid procedure making things harder. the most challenging thing over the last year has been— having to wear the masks. and a lot of our patients rely on our facial expressions. i it's because of that barrier, i suppose, it's been... i it's meant people have i struggled to understand. and that's been the toughest thing over the last year. i breathe out... from calming patients to dealing with increased demand on services, the workshops give staff a chance to share their experiences and find out ways that can help.

you're stressed all the time. and it's using little techniques all the time. and people don't even see that you're using these techniques in connecting with your breath, and grounding yourself. just think about something that's happened at work. and if i can help one person, you know, recognise where that stress is and learn them techniques to deal with their stress, it's... it's brilliant. covid. .. arghhhhhhhhhhhhhh! outlets like this at recoco are perfect for them, i because they can just let go and not be the nurse, they can _ just be themselves. over the coming months, around 500 nhs staff members will take part in the sessions. so far, the reviews are positive. when you're at work it is really busy and you don't really have any time for yourself. so it's been nicejust to be able to come away and not think about everything else that's going on in the background,

and just be able to, like, relax and take some of the good strategies that we've learnt away. unless you look after yourself, how are you going to look after somebody else ? they scream. megan paterson, bbc news, gateshead. feel better?! it's time now for a look at the weathen _ it's time now for a look at the weather. here is louise. we've lost the extreme heat but we've also lost the reliable sunny weather and, in fact, there's been quite a lot of cloud around so far this morning. you can see there are some breaks developing now. the cloudy skies, really from the wash down to the bristol channel and that will stay rather grey for much of the day but certainly driving yesterday. further north and west, some sunshine coming through which may trigger off some showers in scotland and north—east of england. by the end of the afternoon, some heavier showers across the west country but temperatures should peak at 22 celsius. through this evening and overnight, there's the risk of

further sharp showers moving up across southern england. the heaviest of which is across the
