good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. it's make or break for scotland at the euros tonight as they take on croatia in one of the biggest football games in their history. if they win they'll go through to the knockout stages of the men's competition for the first time. but anything other than victory will send them out of the competition. and they'll be without their star player billy gilmour who has tested positive for covid. england are also in action tonight — against the czech republic. they've already qualified for the next stage of the tournament but they too will be without players, mason mount and ben chilwell who are having to self—isolate. in a moment we'll hear from our sports editor at wembley but first to our sports correspondent jane dougall who's at glasgow's hampden park a glasgow's hampden park huge loss for scotland to without a huge loss for scotland to be without billy gilmour, and there were fears for the rest of the squad

but the sfa confirmed earlier that they had all tested negative. they must all now put aside the disappointment of billy gilmour�*s on availability and focus on the match here in two hours tonight, because a loss or a draw will simply not do. they must win, so make no mistake, this will be one of the most important international matches of these players�* careers. time for legends, time for history. it's our time scotland, today! rousing words when scotland needs them most. the tartan army know their country must win this match tonight or their tournament is over and they'll go home. come on, scotland! a clip into the back for o'donnell. after an impressive draw against england, the squad go into this game against croatia knowing they can perform against big sides. just knowing we can compete now, there's no doubt about it, that we've done well the other night and we'll maybe take confidence from it. i thinkjust the more games

you play, the higher level, like, we've had two games now in the tournament, so we should be ready to go and ready for a tough test. because croatia are a massive team with great players. added to that, croatia also need to win to progress and they're able to produce moments like this one. in the penalty area wants the pull—back but didn't get it and that's why! perisic! the world cup runners—up haven't ever beaten scotland, but they'll have a greater chance now that one of scotland's best players isn't available. billy gilmour�*s positive coronavirus test ruling him out and leaving his head coach with a headache to pick a team that gets him three points. i really hope tonight that we willjust rally round and it's almost like a siege mentality. we have lost a big player for us and it's amazing one so young and so early in his international career could have such a big impact on the team. but i do feel that the squad are strong enough, we are buoyant enough and, given the fact that we only need to win tonight, we don't need to worry about goal difference and all that.

just win tonight, what a carrot that is, what an incentive that is to get us to do it, the first chance of getting a group stage. scotland have experience of being heroic but not delivering. it's 3-1! archie gemmill�*s wonder goal 43 years ago before his country went out of the world cup. scotland need to clean up at hampden because there will be nothing glorious in a defeat tonight. jane dougall, bbc news, hampden. scotland fans are gathering across the country in the hope of witnessing a moment of history if scotland win their match tonight. our correspondent lorna gordon is in glasgow now. fans are slowly making their way into the fan zone here on glasgow green. there is space for 3000 fans here, and believe me, it will be full when the game kicks off in just under a couple of hours. this is a ticketed event. it is covid secure,

people will be allocated seats and they will have to stay in their bubble. covid is the reason why billy gilmour isn't in the game tonight as well, a big setback for fans, but the tartan army are used to set backs. they will be hoping tonight that they see a new national hero emerge, and they will be hoping that theirfaith in hero emerge, and they will be hoping that their faith in their team is rewarded in this game against croatia, this must win game against croatia. the atmosphere here at apm will be electric. —— at 8pm. the stakes are not quite so high for england, who face the czech republic at wembley tonight. they're already through to the knock out stages. our sports editor dan roan reports. it's been 2a hours of mixed fortunes for england's manager. late last night, gareth southgate learned that, thanks to results in other groups, his team had qualified for the knockout stage of the euros. today, his plans were thrown into disarray with news that mason mount and ben chilwell were both out of tonight's match

after being in close contact with their chelsea team—mate, billy gilmour, in the wembley tunnel after friday's draw with scotland. despite both testing negative, in a statement today, the fa said the pair must isolate until next monday, a decision taken in consultation with public health england, and that both must train individually. mount, who has been one of england's two best players, tweeted that he was absolutely gutted and both he and chilwell could be ruled out of the team's last—i6 match, too. i don't understand how those two have to isolate. and i'm sure billy gilmour would have been celebrating with his own team—mates after the game, or hugging each other, being in the same dressing room. so even in that situation, it doesn't really make sense. but england will be able to cope with it. just can't get into the games yet, england's main man. subbed in both england's games, harry kane's been assured he is starting tonight, despite looking a shadow of the man who top scored at the world cup but some blame the team's tactics, rather than its talisman. got to get on the ball more

and then he'll stay higher. i and ijust think it's a case of, you know, working on that i in training a little bit, i getting him to stay high up the pitch, making i sure that the other lads are using his quality. keep giving him the ball. if you keep giving kane the ball, things will happen. _ if you starve him of the ball... england were booed off after a lacklustre display against scotland and many fans have been calling for the selection of playmakerjack grealish as part of a more attacking approach. i'd love to see some goals, like, i thought it was a bit flat, the other day. especially of the scotland match, just goals. got to back him, haven't you? well, ifjack grealish is playing, yeah. i'll have jack grealish on. i think kane needs to get a few under his belt and then maybe change. go for it, get all the boys on, let's have a go, you know, i give the fans something. after that last game, - we're all a bit disappointed, so time to give us a go. we're already through. nothing to lose. having already scored one of the goals of the tournament, tonight's opponents, the czech republic, have also qualified for the next stage. but if england can return to winning ways, they'll top the group and ensure a return to wembley

for their next match. an intriguing subplot to tonight is that england may in fact be better off coming second in this group, because if they topped it, they know they will be facing the might of either world champions france, the holders, portugal, or germany, a daunting prospect which ever way you look at it, but they can't worry about that, they have to go for the win. they need a good performance to gain confidence and momentum, especially after the disruption of the last 2a hours, which i think will raise questions as to why the fa weren't able to make sure their players followed covid protocols. this disruption has won teams i think of the danger is in jeopardy associated with covid restrictions on how easy it is for all their campaigns to be affected by them. england must hope that tonight it doesn't cost them. dan, at wembley, thank you. more than 20 million watched the england—scotland match — millions more are expected to watch tonight. 0ur correspondentjon kay

peak pressure. deaths in the uk with covid are now at their lowest since august, and the health secretary said, for england, the data was looking favourable for the easing of restrictions next month. we looking favourable for the easing of restrictions next month.— restrictions next month. we are on track for the _ restrictions next month. we are on track for the opening _ restrictions next month. we are on track for the opening on _ restrictions next month. we are on track for the opening on the - restrictions next month. we are on track for the opening on the 19th i restrictions next month. we are on j track for the opening on the 19th of july, and we will watch vigilantly, and we will look at the data in particular at the start of next week, but i would say that the data over the last week or so has been encouraging. over the last week or so has been encouraging-— over the last week or so has been encourauain. ., , ., , encouraging. covid case rates in the uk are going _ encouraging. covid case rates in the uk are going uo- — encouraging. covid case rates in the uk are going up. this _ encouraging. covid case rates in the uk are going up. this chart - encouraging. covid case rates in the uk are going up. this chart shows i uk are going up. this chart shows the rolling seven day average per 100,000 of population. daily hospital admissions are increasing, but they are nowhere near where they were back at the peak in january. but they are nowhere near where they were back at the peak injanuary. in an area like the north west of england, though, hospitaladmissions england, though, hospital admissions are england, though, hospitaladmissions are rising more rapidly. the north is one area where cases of the delta variant, first identified in india, were spreading rapidly. case numbers in one of the hotspot areas, belton,

people who can meet in private homes and can meet in pubs and restaurants, but no controls, no restrictions on the number of people who can be informally outside. the second key date is the 9th of august, and nicola sturgeon, the first minister, said that was the day when people in scotland would feel that life was substantially returning to normal. they will attempt to remove all the major restrictions, and that might include social distancing restrictions. it might be necessary to still carry on wearing masks on public transport and in shops, and there may have to be travel restrictions if there are covid flare—ups. the final key date is the 12th of september. that is when the scottish government hopes that all adults in scotland will have had two doses and will have as much protection as it is possible to have against covid—19. the latest government figures show that in the past 2a hours, 27 deaths were reported.

11,625 new infections were recorded, that's the highest since daily rate since the middle of february. that means there was an average of 10,3113 new cases per day in the last week. an it issue means there is no uk vaccination data today. the time is 6:18pm. our top story this evening: scotland is preparing for one of the biggest games in their history when they take on croatia tonight — england are also in action. coming up: maternity care for ethnic minority groups. a health charity begins an investigation. and coming up on sportsday in the next 15 minutes on the bbc news channel: we will be live from wembley, looking ahead to england's final group match, against the czech republic, and also what could be a historic match for scotland at hampden. the father of two men who died of aids after being given infected

blood products at a boarding school for children with disabilities broke down at the public inquiry today as he paid tribute to them. john peach's sons were among more than 70 pupils at treloar�*s college in hampshire who died after being given contaminated blood products in the 19705 and �*80s to treat their haemophilia. our health correspondent, jim reed, reports. lee peach and his brother, jason, were born with the blood disorder haemophilia. in the 1980s, they were given a new type of treatment called factor eight. it was later found to be contaminated with hiv and other viruses. i swear by mighty god... at the public inquiry today, their father saw documents suggesting his sons were being tested for hiv without his knowledge. where you told, john, that your son was having aids—related investigations and tests undertaken at treloar's? no, especially not that early, 1983.

christ. both jason and his brother were pupils at treloar's college, a specialist boarding school, and were treated at the nhs medical centre on the site. 72 young haemophiliacs there lost their lives to hiv or hepatitis. a public inquiry has heard some harrowing testimony here this week, often from former pupils at the school. families ultimately want to know if more could have been done to protect young boys at that time. i'm going to miss these boys every day. every day. the people responsible for distribution and regulation of blood products have a lot to answer for. all i ever wanted was the truth. and i hope this inquiry delivers it. lee and jason died asyoung men in the mid—905. their father says giving evidence today was important for the survivors that remain.

i hope they both understand that i'm doing it for the boys that have doing it for the boys that are left, all their friends at the college. i'd like to see them get to the truth and the government stand up and put their hands in their pockets and the lads, you know, "we're very sorry this has happened, but we're going going to look after you." because some of them are really struggling, believe you me. they have struggled every single day of the week. former pupils have been following proceedings closely this week. the government has said it will pay for compensation, if that is what is recommended when the wider public inquiry the government has said it will pay full compensation, if that is what is recommended when the wider public inquiry concludes next year. jim reed, bbc news. jets from the royal navy aircraft carrier, hms queen elizabeth, have carried out their first combat missions a month after leaving the uk. the ministry of defence said the f—35 stealth fighters joined the fight against the islamic state group, which involves flying over syria or iraq. american aircraft are also operating from the queen elizabeth in the eastern mediterranean.

the husband of a british woman who was killed in athens has appeared in court, after confessing to her murder at their home in may. the 33—year—old pilot was led into court wearing he had originally claimed thieves broke in and strangled his 20—year—old wife, caroline crouch, in front of their 11 month old child. but data on his phone and her smart watch contradicted his story. government borrowing fell in may as many businesses reopened, boosting tax revenue. official figures from the office for national statistics show that borrowing — the difference between government spending and tax income — was down to {24.3 billion last month. but that's still the second—highest level for may since monthly records began, lower only than last year's figure. sirjeffrey donaldson is to be the new leader of northern ireland's democratic unionist party. when nominations closed at lunchtime, the mp for lagan valley

was the only declared candidate. in a statement, sirjeffrey said he had the vision to unite northern ireland, and heal the divisions of the past. 0ur ireland correspondent, chris page, is at stormont. challenges ahead. that's right, so - hie, challenges ahead. that's right, sophie. only — challenges ahead. that's right, sophie. only a _ challenges ahead. that's right, sophie, only a few _ challenges ahead. that's right, sophie, only a few weeks - challenges ahead. that's right, sophie, only a few weeks since j challenges ahead. that's right, i sophie, only a few weeks since sir jeffrey donaldson narrowly lost the dup's first ever leadership contest but now he's going to take on the topjob anyway such but now he's going to take on the top job anyway such has been the unpredictability of what's been happening inside northern ireland's largest party. arlene foster was deposed as leader in april and she was succeeded by edwin poots, who was succeeded by edwin poots, who was himself toppled by another backbench rebellion in the devolved assembly at stormont. the party has settled upon a coronation rather than a contest to try to unite and heal some of those deep divisions. sirjeffrey donaldson, the only candidate to put his name forward. he is northern ireland boss �*s longest serving mp had been at westminster for 2h years. he

longest serving mp had been at westminsterfor 2a years. he began his career in another party, the ulster unionists but he left in protest at what he saw as too many compromises to republicans during the peace process. recently he's been the dup's westminster leader but he plans to resign his seat in the house of commons to come back to be first minister in the power—sharing devolved government. many would say his task now is even harder than it would have been had he been successful in his first leadership bid.— he been successful in his first leadership bid. pregnant women and new mothers have faced some tough challenges during the pandemic. but campaigners say the last 16 months have been even more worrying for those from ethnic minority backgrounds who, they say, face poorer health outcomes in maternity care. black women in the uk are four times more likely to die during or up to the first six weeks after pregnancy compared with white women. while asian women are twice at risk. our community affairs correspondent, adina campbell, reports. mum of two tricia boahene thought that having her second son, levi, would have been easier

than herfirst son's birth, but she couldn't have been more wrong. he spent the first few weeks in and out of hospital in kent after his jaundice was diagnosed late. it was definitely the case that my son being darker played a role in them not being able to see the jaundice and recognise it for what it was. it definitely felt like i wasn't being heard until i had to really, really push. women like tricia are not alone. with widespread reports of racial inequalities in maternity care, some say cultural stereotypes have caused them to lose faith in the health care system. while others will be diagnosed with complex medical issues in pregnancy, black women, for example, are more at risk of developing conditions such as pre—eclampsia. a higher number of women from ethnic minority backgrounds are also more

likely to live in deprived areas and may not access the antenatal care they need. the charity birthrights is now collecting evidence as part of its own investigation about differences in maternity care. doctors say some of these issues are unavoidable. the constant theme that we hear all the time is that black and asian women are more likely to experience poorer care. if a woman has a poor experience when she engages with the health care system, she is less likely to come back. a majority of women will end up having a safe and positive pregnancy and birth experience. but there does seem to be a higher number of black and asian women reporting the same type of problem — that their pain isn't taken seriously enough. i remember, you know, begging for pain relief. i didn't receive any with my second daughter. i remember saying that i was in pain and them telling me that

i must be exaggerating. and i did feel like, actually, my words weren't taken seriously. the government says nhs england is developing a strategy to tackle differing experiences of care for women and their babies from ethnic minority backgrounds. sabia kamili, from east london, says she felt disappointed with the care she received during both of her pregnancies. they brush us all, like, "oh, you're all the same, - this is how it's done, you don't get it." - and i think they need to speak to us as we are not stupid. _ we do understand our own pain, if not anything else. _ the results of the birthrights inquiry will be released early next year, which many hope will lead to better maternity health outcomes for these women. adina campbell, bbc news. the dating app, bumble, says it's been busier than expected during the pandemic and its decided to give all its staff a week off to deal with burnout. its 700 employees around the world have been told to switch off and focus on themselves as our business correspondent

emma simpson reports. it's the dating app where women make the first move. what if, after all this time at home, there is nothing to talk about? this american business has plenty to talk about. bumble has seen a surge in users during the pandemic and has made its debut on the stock market. now it's given its staff time off, fully paid, to recharge the batteries. saying: we wanted to give our teams around the world an opportunity to shut off and focus on themselves for a week. i guess it's good that with the stress of the pandemic, they're actually thinking about their employees, which is a good shout. i don't know. is it realistic, though? yeah, can every company do that? i don't need it, really, do i? so might as well continue working, you know, there's no need - for me to take a day off. especially a week off. i

but what if you had to give up the comforts of the office and work from home? the desks are still pretty empty in this corner of london, 15 long months and counting. so this big accountancy firm gave its 16,000 workers the day off yesterday. a bit of a breather. it's pretty relentless. it's hard to get a break. it's hard to get a break from work, you're working in your own home, it's very easy to keep on going back to the laptop or glancing at your phone. so i think it's really important that we and other employers really put well—being of their people at the very top of the board. jennifer met a colleague for a cup of tea. it was just a different feeling to taking a day's leave. i we've been given today. to do whatever we wanted with and we did leave the laptops and things at home. _ just completely disconnected from work and we just felt i so relaxed and so happy. and it's amazing... -

few firms will be able or afford to follow bumble's move but more companies, it seems, are looking for ways to allow their weary workers to unwind. emma simpson, bbc news. returning to our main story as scotland and england prepare for tonight's final group matches in the euros. our sports editor, dan roan, is at wembley. but the stakes are particularly high for scotland? aha. but the stakes are particularly high for scotland?— but the stakes are particularly high for scotland? �* ., ., , for scotland? a momentous night in store for british _ for scotland? a momentous night in store for british football _ store for british football potentially, as you say especially for scotland, who face their biggest match for 23 years. and they know exactly where they stand. if they can win against the world cup finalists themselves, croatia, tonight they will be through to the knockout stage of a major tournament for the first time in their history. what a story that would be, especially given that they will have to do it without the star man the other evening against england at wembley, billy gilmour, so cruelly ruled out and now in isolation. england, in contrast, a lot of

tension and jeopardy has gone away because as we know, they are already through to the next round. but for the first time, perhaps, there is some real scrutiny on manager gareth southgate over his selection, given the lacklustre nature of the display against scotland when their opponents really deserved to win, many people say. and scrutiny on his captain, harry kane, after two matches in which he was substituted. england are through and they haven't conceded. 0ne england are through and they haven't conceded. one of —— one other point. wembley, 22 and a half thousand people tonight, come the semifinals and the final, 16,000 people, the biggest crowd in some 15 months for a sporting event. biggest crowd in some 15 months for a sporting event-— time for a look at the weather, here's nick miller. is it going to warm up any time soon? ., . g is it going to warm up any time soon? ., ., . , �* ., is it going to warm up any time soon? ., ., i , �* ., soon? no, flaming june isn't on the horizon. soon? no, flaming june isn't on the horizon- today _ soon? no, flaming june isn't on the horizon. today it _ soon? no, flaming june isn't on the horizon. today it has _ soon? no, flaming june isn't on the horizon. today it has been - soon? no, flaming june isn't on the horizon. today it has been warmerl soon? no, flaming june isn't on the l horizon. today it has been warmer at hampden park and at wembley. it will have no impact on the football as it plays out. tonight is not going to be as cold in scotland as it was last night. braemar with a frost
