becoming millionaires in the last year. the guardian leads on government ministers pushing ahead with proposals to privatise channel 4, which would put an end to the broadcaster's a0 years as a publicly—owned service. the times leads with the easing of restrictions onjuly 19, saying that the current covid measures will be replaced by an emphasis on "personal responsibility", as ministers are encouraged by the slowdown in infections. the i also looks at the latest covid data, saying that the impact of those with two jabs and vaccinating the under—30s means the uk is on track to unlock onjuly 19th. and hope for foreign holidays leads the mirror, and the possibility of daily tests for vaccinated britons instead of quarantine, with the health secretary saying "we're working on it." 0k, rob and olivia have been working on the papers for us. rob, do you want to kick off this time, if you would, please come with the times.

11:35 pm
summer, when respiratory illnesses do not pass on that well —— cases also seem to be going down. it would seem mad if the government relate again, and they know the public was just about prepared to support the extension in regulations for a month, but that they are kind of pushing their luck now, so i expect to see full using on the 19th of july. what i'm a bit worried about is whether they are going to have a third losing another public is used to lockdowns and the government seems 0k to lock us down again —— a third flu season. i am a bit worried about winter like sound coming into place, but for now i think we're 0k place, but for now i think we're ok for place, but for now i think we're 0k forjuly. place, but for now i think we're ok forjul . �* , , place, but for now i think we're ok forjul. v , ., place, but for now i think we're ok forjul. �*, , ., forjuly. let's try and look forward. _ forjuly. let's try and look forward, then, _ forjuly. let's try and look forward, then, to - forjuly. let's try and look forward, then, to the - forjuly. let's try and look| forward, then, to the good forjuly. let's try and look - forward, then, to the good news, forjuly. let's try and look _ forward, then, to the good news, as it were, in the summer. this move on. scottish daily mail. we are good to talk about the contrast on covid in a moment between the dates, but i'm struck by the scottish daily mail, compared to the daily mail
11:36 pm
published in the rest of the uk. 0bviously they have to go for a different team as their photo cub so on the scottish daily mail, we have the same woman fan cheering with joy and then looking, as it puts it, the ecstasy and the agony. and then the daily mail, instead of a scotland fan, non—scottish version, rented lions roar into euros less 16, and excited england fan. it is interesting. we don't often get a chance to compare those. 0n freedom day, do you think nicola sturgeon is kind of still getting the tone of this right, still seems to be a real, more of an emphasis on caution in the scottish government than in the uk government, yet we are told they are operating to the same scientific advice? it is they are operating to the same scientific advice?— scientific advice? it is some different — scientific advice? it is some different dates _ scientific advice? it is some different dates here, - scientific advice? it is some different dates here, but i scientific advice? it is some - different dates here, but england and scotland are moving in the same direction, _ and scotland are moving in the same direction, are they not? and

times and yorkshire post — ft going big on the within 5 billion people going in becoming millionaires despite the pandemic and more generally the global impact on this, the yorkshire post by contrast leading on the amount of debt that people have been plunged into, it says, talking about some proportion of families, one fits of adults, having fewer than £100 in their savings. —— one fifth. having fewer than £100 in their savings. -- one fifth.— savings. -- one fifth. yeah, absolutely. _ savings. -- one fifth. yeah, absolutely. it's _ savings. -- one fifth. yeah, absolutely. it's the - savings. -- one fifth. yeah, absolutely. it's the sort i savings. -- one fifth. yeah, absolutely. it's the sort of. savings. -- one fifth. yeah, i absolutely. it's the sort of mega five version of what we have known for quite a long time, that lockdown is meant the rich get richer, hospitality has closed, there is no need to commute to work any more, people are squirreling away, savings. and there of us to not able to go on holiday, etc. poor people are on furlough, quite often out of are on furlough, quite often out of a job altogether, have no chance of ever really going on holiday with
11:40 pm
the quarantine rules. we have known for a long time the rules put in place for lockdown impacted the poor much more than the impact the rich, and that is going to be a big, big problem for the government going forward. the entire point of this government is the loving up agenda, that's what they been talking about from the very beginning, throwing money at the red ball over and over again, but the truth is that no money will really make up for what has been done in the last year and a half of and that north— south divide has just grown and grown and grown. it is not you to depressing the ft that millionaires coldly have gone up, one would expect thatjust as the years progress, and honestly people are coming out of poverty in certain countries, but this story from the yorkshire post is truly shocking. in rich places, for every £12 people are putting away in richer areas, that is £1 put away in poor areas. richer areas, that is £1 put away in poorareas. one richer areas, that is £1 put away in poor areas. one in five people have less than £100 in savings, that does

11:51 pm
hope exceeded expectation. it does little to dull the pain. nothing but a win would have done. croatia faced the same scenario. there were always going to be goals. the problem for scotland was that nikola vlasic got the first. scotland needed the game to tip back in their favour. they needed a goal, something they'd not managed in the tournament, until... commentator: it's come back to mcgregor! - callum mcgregor. game on. one more would do it, it didn't matter how. the finest of touches, john mcginn — oh so close! as near as scotland would get. because when the opposition have players like luka modric, who can do things like that, it makes life a lot tougher. the former world player of the year set up ivan perisic to sink steve clarke's side — knocked out before the knockouts. it's been a long time. people keep forgetting it's 23 years. this group of players have never been at a major tournament. even the old guy here —
11:52 pm
never been at a major tournament. so we'll all learn from it. we're determined to be in the next one. and if we can't be in the next one, we want to be in the one after that or the one after that. there will be 60,000 at wembley for next month's final. on current form, england making it that far seems fanciful. already through before they'd kicked a ball against the czech republic, this was about more thanjust winning. this was about building confidence. this win barely achieved that. replacing a self—isolating mason mount, jack grealish delivered a goal to confirm england as group winners — sterling valuable yet again. the lead sorted, now to boost that morale, find some momentum. harry kane could use a goal. not this time. still, england haven't conceded yet. jordan pickford ensured it would stay that way. there was still time to give some much—needed minutes to the likes ofjordan henderson, too. but for an offside flag, his substitute appearance would've ended with a goal. three games and two wins, top of the group for england —

all that could be expected? well, what scotland wouldn't give for that. ben croucher, bbc news. so, england are through to the knockout stages with two wins and a draw — importantly, three clean sheets — and their manager gareth southgate is where he wants to be. what we wanted to do was make sure tonight that we won the group, that we stayed at wembley. we don't know if that's going to be advantageous, in terms of where the draw might take us, but we'd rather be here. and we could've come second and still had a really difficult draw, so to win the group i think is good for the confidence, and it's great that our fans will get to see the next round here. england winning means it sets up a last 16 match against any of the teams in group f, which contains world champions france, current european champions portugal, along with a resurgent germany, and hungary are still in contention. croatia and the czech republic also qualify out of group d. defending champion karolina pliskova is out of the eastbourne invitational tournament — beaten in three sets by italy's camila giorgi.

not a good afternoon either for britain's heather watson. she lost in the first round despite leading 4—1 in the deciding set against poland's iga swiatek. watson couldn't secure victory, losing the decider 7—5. disappointment at the same venue as well for another briton, harriet dart. she also lost in the first round — beaten in three sets by the world number 21, elena rybakina. at roehampton, it was a disappointing afternoon for aidan mchugh. his hopes of qualifying for wimbledon are over after losing his opening match against hugo dellien. the bolivian won 6—2, 6—1 injust over an hour. but fellow britons felix gill, jack pinningtonjones, arthur fery and anton matusevich are all through. the first british and irish lions team of the summer has been announced, and eight players will make their lions debut againstjapan at murrayfield on saturday. there are four scots in the starting line—up and the team will be led by that man,

tour captain alun wynjones. 16,500 fans are expected to be at murrayfield for the first ever meeting beaten the lions and japan. but despite all the debuts, head coach warren gatland says everyone will get their chance to impress. quality players bring the best out of everyone, and we've already seen that with the group, so we've got absolutely quality players here that take on the information so quickly. and they've already been so accurate. so, look, the whole group have really impressed us. india will go into the sixth and final day, the reserve day, of the inaugural world test championship final with a lead of 32 runs and eight second wickets in hand against new zealand. india's bowlers dominated the early part of the fifth day in southampton — mohamed shami taking four wickets. new zealand eventually reached 249 all out and secured a first innings lead thanks to some hefty blows from their tail enders. tim southee then took two wickets when india returned to the crease to leave the match nicely poised heading into the final day.

we've got a tough day ahead of us. like i said, it's exciting to have all three results still possible. it's a quality indian batting line—up, with two of their best at the crease at the moment, so we're going to have to be on top of our game tomorrow to come. and i think that first hour or two hours is going to be crucial to how each side sets up the day. of course, for that and everything else, you can head to the bbc sport website, but that is all your sport for now. hello there. it certainly was a chilly start across eastern scotland on tuesday, but that is where we had the lion's share of sunshine — over 1a hours of it. and it was our top spot in terms of temperatures as well, 21.4 celsius the high. now, we have been drawing a curtain of cloud, though, across scotland over the last few hours. this weather front bringing in some showery outbreaks of rain, and it will bring a change of fortunes to start
11:57 pm
our day on wednesday. yes, it will be a cloudier and slightly damper story, but it will also be a milder one. double digits first thing in the morning. clearer skies across england and wales,. that's where we'll start with the best of the sunshine through the day. now, as the day progresses, perhaps clouding over into north wales and northern england, as that weather front slowly meanders its way out of the scottish borders. we keep quite a lot of cloud and some bits and pieces of rain into the far northwest, quite murky to coasts and hills as well. the best of the sunshine further south and east, and we'll see temperatures peaking at 21 or 22 degrees. that's 72 fahrenheit. moving through wednesday evening, we'll continue to see a little more cloud pushing out of the north of england, down into the midlands, but it should be a largely fine and dry end to the day across the southeast. that weather front will continue to move its way slowly south and east. and at the same time, another weather front will introduce some heavier rain into the far north of scotland. so, as thursday goes, we can split the country to three. the best of the sunshine, east anglia, south east england.
11:58 pm
a weak weather front, a band of cloud slowly brightening up into northern england later. and then for northern ireland and scotland, some of that rain still quite heavy for a time here. top temperatures on thursday afternoon, again, 22 degrees, 72 fahrenheit. now, as we move out of thursday into friday, those weatherfronts continue to push their way steadily south and a little area of pressure forms. and circulating around that low friday, there will be bands of showery rain. so, not a complete wash—out. bit of a messy story, really, to tell on friday. the best of any drier weather, but with a northerly breeze, will be in the far north of scotland. so here, not particularly warm. we should see temperatures peaking at 22 degrees, 72 fahrenheit. that low pressure will influence the story for the start of the weekend, still bringing the risk of some sharp showers. the best of the drier weather is likely to be further north. take care.
