far european countries, countries in the eu, they have been making their own individual decisions about whether it applies to people coming in from the uk with the delta variant, and so germany has taken quite a hard line, yet to quarantine when you go to germany. other countries, particularly one that rely on british tourism, less so, and merkel�*s suggestion here is that, actually, as trouble opens up within the schengen area, the eu should be taking a more coordinated approach, which is absolutely the eu's approach, which is absolutely the eu's right. i think there is a lot of curzon about the delta variant, increased tension in countries in the eu reliant on you tourism —— a lot of concern. a lot of significant cases of the delta variant. we find out later tomorrow. yeah, portugal

about matt hancock, his capabilities, to what extent is he to blame for what went wrong last year? to what extent does the buck stop at the prime minister? we have had dominic cummings make some attempt not to pin a lot of the blame on matt hancock. we had backbench tory mps try and pin the blame on matt hancock. not releasing data in a timely way, which i was sceptical about, as a story, to be honest. there are a lot of people out to get man hancock. at the kids like to answer to, but he does seem to have a target on his back at the moment as well, so i think this probably off the cuff coming from the queen has attracted so much media attention —— he has a lot to answer to. media attention -- he has a lot to answer to— media attention -- he has a lot to answer to. ., �* ., ., ., ,, ,. answer to. tom, i'm gonna take you to our last _ answer to. tom, i'm gonna take you to our last paper— answer to. tom, i'm gonna take you to our last paper for— answer to. tom, i'm gonna take you to our last paper for this _ answer to. tom, i'm gonna take you to our last paper for this edition - to our last paper for this edition of the papers, the front page of the metro. do not know how closely you're following the football, the euros. . ., , , euros. extreme the closely. i tell ou, if

good evening. i'm tulsen tollett with your sports news — and we start at the european championship on a night of high drama. any three of france, portugal, germany and hungary could have qualified for the last 16 from group f. the end result, though, means that england will play germany at wembley on tuesday. and wrapping up an enthralling finish is ben croucher. it was nicknamed the group of death but this was the night euro 2020 came to life. whatever the stadium look like in munich, this game lit up look like in munich, this game lit up the tournament. 20 of rain but take a bow, hungary. the outsiders in the group, it seems nobody told adam szalai. he left germany in a model in the puddles, heading out until kai havertz was heading in, a precious equaliser behind for the best part of the hour. you forgive the germans for keeping its title subtract from the kick—off, though... subtract from the kick-off, though- - -_ subtract from the kick-off, - though. . ._ andras though... extraordinary! andras

poland are out despite the best efforts of robert lewandowski. he struck twice as they fought back from 2—0 down against sweden. but substitute viktor clarsson scored in the 93rd minute to send the swedes through as group winners. and they will play ukraine in glasgow. so after tonight's final games, in the last 16, england will now face germany at wembley on tuesday. portugal, who won it in 2016 afterfinishing third in their group, are up against the number—one ranked team, belgium, in seville, while world champions france face switzerland in bucharest. england's cricketers have comfortably beaten sri lanka in the the first of three twenty20 internationals. sri lanka won the toss and elected to bat first but lost regular wickets in cardiff. dasun shanaka top scoring with 50 as his side reached 129—7. england never looked in any trouble, joss buttler hitting an unbeaten 68, easing them to an eight—wicket win. meanwhile, new zealand are the new world test champions. they completed their run—chase of 139 against india and won

with eight wickets to spare. patrick gearey was watching. this was effectively test cricket's world cup final heading into stoppage time, one extra day to climb onto the top of the world. take your marks. virat kohli made a full start, succumbing to a rented kyle jamieson. to win the title, india needed to get much further ahead of new zealand and fast, which is where rishabh pant comes in. he's a man who always bats as if he's running out of time. eventually, he ran out of luck, too. everything now pointed new zealand's way. their bowlers removed the tail, their supporters removed the tops. india all out, the match stripped down, 139 runs for new zealand to get. india forced a couple of hiccups. but instead of chaos, there was kiwi calm because of kane.

together with ross taylor, williamson — new zealand's captain — helped his team to the end of an amazing story. one of test cricket's smallest nations, now its first official champion. patrick gearey, bbc news. i think we saw both teams grab a mentor him at certain points in time, and then to have the six—day as back—up due to weather and see both teams have a real opportunity of a result made for a fantastic team to be a part of it. and for us, very proud moment in our history and a proud momentjust as team, really. four british players remain in qualifying for next week's wimbldeon championships. arthur fery and anton matusevich play in the final round of qualifying over five sets tomorrow. katie swan and naykta bains play their second round matches tomorrow. swan had a comfortable straight sets win today as she beat the australian lizette cabrera 7-5, 6-2. finally, wales flanker justin tipuric has come into the starting team for saturday's british and irish lions match againstjapan at murrayfield. he replaces scotland back—rower hamish watson, who suffered

a concussion in training. watson, who was set to make his first appearance for the lions, will be cleared to play again once he passes a series of medical tests. now, for everything else, you can head to the bbc sport website, but thatis head to the bbc sport website, but that is all your sport for now. two weather systems working south with a chance of rain. most of it will be light and patchy, as early as it spreads further south and weekends. really sunshine east anglia and the southeast of increasing cloud for the afternoon, chance of light rain by evening. elsewhere patchy rain, northern england, the southwest brightening up england, the southwest brightening up in the afternoon. scotland northern ireland, some heavier rain working southwards, quite cold in northern scotland, with a strengthened northerly wind. and we are going to see some useful rain impacting parts of scotland ending
