and for england, in the european championship. scotland had never made it to the knockout stages of any major tournament, and despite the home advantage, they were beaten 3—1 in a highly charged match against croatia. as for england, they beat the czech republic 1—0, and go through as group winners. in a moment we'll bring you the news from england's match at wembley, but first jane dougall is at hampden park with the latest there. jane? jane? forjust a moment, scotland jane? for “ust a moment, scotland could jane? forjust a moment, scotland could almost _ jane? forjust a moment, scotland could almost touch _ jane? forjust a moment, scotland could almost touch the _ jane? forjust a moment, scotland could almost touch the knockout . could almost touch the knockout stages of a major had they won tonight here against croatia, it would have meant they had got out of the group stages for the first time in the country's history. but despite the enthusiasm of the tartan army fans it has ended in a 3—1 loss. army fans it has ended in a 3-1 loss. ., , ., loss. time for legends, time for histo , loss. time for legends, time for history. it's _ loss. time for legends, time for history, it's our _ loss. time for legends, time for history, it's our time, _ loss. time for legends, time for history, it's our time, scotland, | history, it's ourtime, scotland, today! —

10:08 pm
during these euros, especially following the 0—0 draw against england. but now the tartan army will have to regroup after the deflation of going out of another tournament. lorna gordon has been spending the day with supporters in a fans' park. in the end it wasn't to be, at this fanzone in glasgow, disappointment as scotland's hopes faded with the summer sun. as scotland's hopes faded with the summer sun-— summer sun. gutted, absolutely rutted. summer sun. gutted, absolutely gutted- we _ summer sun. gutted, absolutely gutted- we had _ summer sun. gutted, absolutely gutted. we had a _ summer sun. gutted, absolutely gutted. we had a chance - summer sun. gutted, absolutely gutted. we had a chance going l summer sun. gutted, absolutely i gutted. we had a chance going into the second half.— the second half. disappointed, it is the second half. disappointed, it is the ho -e the second half. disappointed, it is the hope that _ the second half. disappointed, it is the hope that kills _ the second half. disappointed, it is the hope that kills us _ the second half. disappointed, it is the hope that kills us every - the second half. disappointed, it is the hope that kills us every time, | the hope that kills us every time, but we _ the hope that kills us every time, but we still— the hope that kills us every time, but we still love scotland. there _ but we still love scotland. there were moments of excitement and elation when the dream of going forward seemed to be in reach. cheering fans had been holding out for a win, a moment of national celebration after months of covid restrictions. as one of the host cities, glasgow has passed in the glow of the tournament for the past few days.

10:10 pm
scotland here last week, and the disruption caused by two of their players having to isolate before the game, gareth southgate's side were desperate to try and raise their game. despite qualification to the next round already assured, the sense at wembley was that the true england were yet to arrive at these euros. a manager able to ring the changes as he searched for some much—needed momentum. the fans wanted a much more attacking approach and now they discovered they would get their wish. within two minutes the signs look promising. raheem sterling in. he hit the post, what a start that would have been!— he hit the post, what a start that would have been! ., ., , would have been! england only denied b the would have been! england only denied by the woodwork. _ would have been! england only denied by the woodwork. but _ would have been! england only denied by the woodwork. but having - would have been! england only denied by the woodwork. but having been - by the woodwork. but having been brought into the side, jack grealish was about to show why so many demanded that he start. fiend was about to show why so many demanded that he start.- was about to show why so many demanded that he start. and it is headed in by _ demanded that he start. and it is headed in by raheem _ demanded that he start. and it is headed in by raheem sterling . demanded that he start. and it is| headed in by raheem sterling and england lead! the headed in by raheem sterling and england lead!— headed in by raheem sterling and enland lead! , �*, england lead! the playmaker's ross findinr england lead! the playmaker's ross finding sterling _ england lead! the playmaker's ross finding sterling who _ england lead! the playmaker's ross finding sterling who this _ england lead! the playmaker's ross finding sterling who this time - finding sterling who this time couldn't miss. this is what it meant to some of those watching on around the country. —— playmaker's cross.
10:11 pm
england are finding their rhythm. harry kane enjoyed a quiet start of the tournament, hard to believe this was his first shot on target. but amid more frustration from the captain came a warning of the threat the czech republic post. jordan pickford's agility needed to preserve the clean sheet. the hosts won course to top the group having started the second half a little flat it wasn't long before changes were made. marcus rashford and a 17—year—old dude building and both introduced. a fading england needed a second but instead their opponents went close, the czech republic searching for an equaliser. england thought they had finished the match with a second but substitutejordan henderson's effort was ruled out for offside. ——jude bellingham. it didn't matter, mission accomplished. i'm ecstatic, it is fantastic could have been a better performance but hey ho, you know, done it, we are there. it wasn't the greatest game
10:12 pm
in the world but we won and that's all that matters, isn't it?— all that matters, isn't it? winners of grou- all that matters, isn't it? winners of group d _ all that matters, isn't it? winners of group d and — all that matters, isn't it? winners of group d and through. - all that matters, isn't it? winners of group d and through. but - all that matters, isn't it? winners of group d and through. but once j of group d and through. but once again, the sense that england need to show more. dan, we saw the dejection of the scotland fans early and we have seen the celebration from the england fans. what is your assessment of both performances tonight? heartbreak for scotland in what was of course their first major tournament for 23 years, they knew they would have made history had they would have made history had they won tonight and for a glorious few minutes it looked like they might do that when they equalised. but it wasn't to be. nonetheless, i think many will still be proud of their achievements here, something for steve clarke to build on in the future, who knows, may be the loss of billy gilmour cost them ultimately. in terms of england, they haven't set the world alight yet. but then they haven't needed to either, have they? i think they will need to raise their game if they are to progress further in this tournament, but they are building. it's important to remember that in the past they have been occasions at
10:13 pm
major tournaments when they have struggled and failed to get out of the group stage. and so on that basis, if you had asked them before the tournament, two wins and a draw, three clean sheets, top of the group and safely through there is no doubt that gareth southgate would have taken that. some of the changes he made tonight worked. there is just the sense that harry kane is just beginning to rediscover his confidence too. so i think there is plenty south gate can take into the next match. talking about that next match, we now know that england will be back here next tuesday, home advantage, more fans, 45,000, that will be an important bonus for them. but come on here is the big but, they will be likely to play a very daunting opponent. world champions france or the holders portugal, or perhaps germany, possibly hungary too. so it will not be easy for england. there is this sense that they will need to up their game, and there is no doubt they can play better. but as i said, they are
10:14 pm
safely through and they deserve credit for that. dan safely through and they deserve credit for that.— credit for that. dan roan, many thanks. credit for that. dan roan, many thanks- dan _ credit for that. dan roan, many thanks. dan roan, _ credit for that. dan roan, many thanks. dan roan, our- credit for that. dan roan, many thanks. dan roan, our sports. credit for that. dan roan, many - thanks. dan roan, our sports editor at wembley. let's turn to the latest news on the pandemic. the latest government figures show that in the past 24 hours, 27 deaths were reported. 11,625 new infections were recorded — that's the highest daily rate since the middle of february. that means there was an average of 10,343 new cases per day in the last week. a technical issue means there is no uk vaccination data today. hopefully we will have an update tomorrow. the health secretary matt hancock says the latest pandemic figures for england — look encouraging for the remaining restrictions to be lifted onjuly 19th. in scotland — the first minister nicola sturgeon said that was the earliest date restrictions would be eased —
10:15 pm
and that they won't be lifted completely before august. across the uk — the number of covid deaths recorded in a week has dropped below 100 for the first time since the end of last summer. 0ur health editor hugh pym has the latest. 0ne hospital where life is more like what it was before the pandemic. at clacton in essex there haven't been any covid patients for three months now. not unlike some other hospitals in the uk. and a contrast to what was happening during the months of 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 are on track for the opening on 19thjuly. 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,
10:16 pm
has been encouraging. weekly uk covid case rates are going up. this graph shows cases per 100,000 of population for each seven day period from mid—march. daily hospital admissions are increasing but they're nowhere near where they were back at the peak in january. in an area like the north west of england, though, hospital admissions are rising more rapidly. the north west is one area where cases of the delta variant, first identified in india, were spreading rapidly. though case numbers in one of the hotspot areas, bolton, are now falling. scotland has seen the highest daily reported cases since january. but the first minister said vaccines were keeping hospital and death numbers low. she said though lockdown easing would be delayed there would be significant lifting onjuly 19th with more to come three weeks later. we can now see a route to lifting restrictions and to enjoying again the simple but precious pleasures we have all missed so much. the path ahead is not obstacle free. i'm not going to pretend it is. but it is clearer now than at any point so far. thanks to vaccines normal life is now much closer. it is within sight. for ministers and health leaders
10:17 pm
in all the uk's nations, the hope is that as many adults as possible get vaccinated in the next few weeks to further reduce the risk of serious illness and pressure on the nhs. in newcastle today, a pop—up vaccination centre was targeting the 18—plus age group. i know that i've been waiting for this day since march last year. it's quite weird, actually. it's quite weird knowing that the end is, at least hopefully, within sight. it's for yourself and for your individual freedom but it's for the country in general, so it's very important. ijust feel a bit more safer, - i suppose, and also ijust hope that others will feel safer as well- and be able to start to do a little bit more knowing that you have that bit of security. _ the vaccination programme has had an impact. but health officials will want to see more data before being confident about the ending of restrictions. hugh pym, bbc news. sirjeffrey donaldson is to be the new leader of northern ireland's democratic unionist party.
10:18 pm
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. an investigation by the bbc has found over 2,000 migrant children being detained in a camp in el paso, texas, in appalling conditions. the facility at fort bliss is overcrowded, ridden with disease, with shortages of clean clothes and medical care for the children. staff working there say that illnesses such as covid and flu have affected hundreds of children in recent months. 0ur correspondent hilary andersson sent this special report. deep in the chihuahuan desert of west texas is a tented camp holding thousands of migrant children in conditions that are alarming. these are the camp's white tents. it's set in a military base.
10:19 pm
we weren't allowed near it but you can glimpse it from the road. there it is. it's just down there behind these white buildings. these pictures are the world's first look inside. they were taken secretly by employees who are banned from filming or speaking about conditions. the tents are massive. hundreds of children are crammed in. i'm texting staff inside. they say disease is everywhere. an employee has agreed to an interview after work. this is not his real voice. there are very significant numbers of kids with covid. i know there were quite a few with strep throat. lice became a very big problem. at one point when all the girls were consolidated into one tent, the lice were so widespread they actually had to put the tent into lockdown. and how many girls were in that tent?
10:20 pm
hundreds and hundreds of girls. when a child gets covid their bed is stripped, then they are moved to tents that at times, we are told, have held hundreds of sick children. this is a rare look inside one of the covid tents. this 15—year—old spent five harrowing weeks in detention. he's now been reunited with his mother here in america. in the camp he became severely ill with covid and struggled to fully recover. this is not his real voice. it was difficult to see a doctorfor medicine. when we went to ask for medicine they gave us dirty looks and they always laughed among themselves. children wear wristbands. they're checked any time they leave a tent. they are marched in their hundreds to meals. the food was not well cooked. sometimes the chicken had blood on it, the meat was very red. we were so hungry we ate it
10:21 pm
but we got sick from it. the desert climate here is harsh. wild winds blow a sandwich breaks into the tents, wild winds blow sand which breaks into the tents, coating the children. there is a shortage of clean clothes. the heat is relentless. over a million migrants have tried to cross into the us this year, mostly from central america. many adults are deported. but under president biden, children may stay. most have relatives here but the system is failing them. there are thousands of children in this camp who have no idea how long they'll be here, or when they will be reunited with theirfamilies. and many of them are vulnerable children who fled their home countries to seek safety here in america. but all the evidence is that under the care of the us government these children are being severely neglected, and in some cases put in danger. downtown el paso. i'd been told where to collect a memory stick containing secret
10:22 pm
audio recordings of a camp training session in which staff said children were being sexually abused. an employee came out of the camp to meet us. she said the department of homeland security had spoken to staff about a rape. this again is an actor's voice. dhs mentioned there was a rape. they're giving girls pregnancy tests. i also heard theyjust announced the results in front of everyone here. and i heard the other night that another contractor was caught in a boy's tent, you know, doing things with him. the authorities have not responded to the specific allegations in this report but say that children in their custody are given the required standard of care and access to medical services. they say they're working
10:23 pm
to speed up the release of children to their relatives. many children have been in here for over a month. some, like this boy, have tried to run away. the 15—year—old we met sank into despair. i watched the days go by and i felt very low. i thought that i was not going to get out of there, that i was not going to see my family again. and sometimes at night we would cry. during the worst time i was nearly at the point of committing suicide. this camp is closed to public scrutiny, yet the biden administration portrays itself as compassionate and open. staff here took serious risks to expose the damage being inflicted on children. but there are around 12,000 children in other camps around america whose condition remains largely unknown. hilary andersson, bbc news.
10:24 pm
the father of two men who died of aids after being given infected blood products at a school for children with disabilities, has broken 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 1970s and �*80s to treat their haemophilia. 0ur health correspondent jim reed reports. leigh 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 viii. 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. were you told, john, that your son was having aids—related investigations and tests undertaken at treloar's? no, especially not that early, 1983.
10:25 pm
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 of 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. leigh and jason died as young men in the mid—90s. their father says giving evidence today was important for the survivors that remain.
10:26 pm
i hope they both understand that i'm 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 say to the lads, you know, "we're very sorry this has happened, but we're going to look after you." because some of them are really struggling, believe you me. they have to struggle every single day of the week. former pupils have been following proceedings closely this week. 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. bumble — the dating app which encourages women to make the first move — is giving its entire team of 700 staff worldwide a week off, calling it a "much—needed" break to de—stress. it's said the team has had a challenging time during the pandemic, amounting to a kind of "collective burnout".
10:27 pm
the company is based in texas, and while staff are relaxing, the dating services will continue, 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 whole 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 -
10:28 pm
for me to take a day off. especially a week off. but what if you've 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. we've been given this day 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 so relaxed and so happy.
10:29 pm
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. that's it. now on bbc one, time for the news where you are. have a very good night. hello. clearing skies across much of england and wales will lead to a fairly chilly night for the time of year, temperatures down to three or 4 degrees in the countryside. still holding onto some patches of cloud towards the far southeast and south of england. it will be a much milder night than last night in scotland and northern ireland, and the reason? cloud continuing to spread further eastwards. some outbreaks of mostly light and patchy rain, some misty conditions around coast and hills as well, but double figure temperatures as we kick off in the morning. and we will keep plenty of cloud
10:30 pm
here, again with some patchy rain. just feeding in also towards parts of northwest england, the north and west of wales during the day, whereas southeast wales, much of southern, central and eastern england and indeed parts of eastern scotland, will see some sunny spells at times. and feeling pleasantly warm where you see those. and much warmer in southeast england compared with recent days, as this wind is much lighter. so, here, temperatures just creep into the low 20s. this area of cloud and patchy rain's moving further south on thursday.
