to wembley in the last 16 coming to wembley in the last 16 next tuesday. the word from inside the camp is the players are excited by the prospect of that, especially because there is going to be double the crowds at wembley, up to almost 115,000, the crowds at wembley, up to almost 45,000, they are anticipating. the england players trained here this morning. no harry maguire involved, they arejust managing morning. no harry maguire involved, they are just managing his workload. it was playing for the first time in six weeks. the voices ofjadon sancho and jude bellingham in the england squad are going to be really important over the next few days because they play their football in the bundesliga, so they know a lot of the german players inside and out. the average age of this england team is only 25 and 25 years ago it was germany that knocked england out at wembley in the euro 96 semifinals. i think we are going to be talking about that quite a lot over the next few days, especially gareth southgate's memories of that. wales are also cranking up their preparations, still in rome after they finished their group stage there but they travel to amsterdam

later today because they are first up later today because they are first up in the knockout stage at five o'clock kick—off on saturday against denmark. rob page has a full squad to choose from a head of that knockout tie and just looking at the draw now clive, we are on foreign england wales semifinal, but let's not get too carried awayjust yet! blimey, that would be again, wouldn't it? olly foster england's training camp in staffordshire. anton du beke is to become a judge on strictly come dancing. he'll replace bruno tonioli, who says he can't take part because of uncertainty over international travel restrictions. anton du beke says it's a dream come true, and he promises to be kinder to the contestants than any of thejudges have been to him. time for a look at the weather. what marks out of ten for the weather, a soggy five a bright and cheery nine in some places.

the warmest weather in the north—east of england with some sunshine although there are one or two showers that will drift into north yorkshire, where the weather has been going downhill in northern ireland. the cloud has been thickening up, we've had rain moving on, it's pretty wet at the moment. this is the past few hours. you can see the cloud, the band of rain moving across northern ireland and scotland. ahead of it's been bright and warm across eastern parts of scotland but the rain is moving in and we also have this showery rain here that's moving towards east anglia and the south—east. behind that between those two rain areas it brightens up especially in northern england, where we get temperatures of 23-24 . england, where we get temperatures of 23—24. no live england, where we get temperatures of 23—24 . no live football to watch today, but there is some cricket later on, live on bbc two this evening in cardiff, where there could be one or two showers first thing. i suspect they will move away very quickly and it will brighten before we see the next rain later in the evening. that will clear away from northern ireland quickly, much of western scotland, but the wetter weather moves down across wales and pushes into the eastern side of

england later in the night will stop a lot of cloud over night, it's going to be warmerfor a lot of cloud over night, it's going to be warmer for england a lot of cloud over night, it's going to be warmerfor england and wales, significantly for east anglia and the south—east compared with recently. it cools down in scotland and northern ireland, a all breeze. a wet start from parts of eastern england, that should move away. rain into southern and eastern parts of scotland, perhaps the far north of england, not far from scotland, perhaps the far north of england, not farfrom northern ireland as it brightens up further south and we get some sunshine in places, that could trigger heavy, thundery showers. a cooler day on friday. significantly so in north—east england and eastern parts of scotland. we have high pollen levels today widely for england and wales. tomorrow, high levels for wales, the midlands and further south. as we head into the weekend there is a real battle going on between high pressure that trying to extend right the way across the atlantic to northern parts of the uk but pressure is lower in the south. we've got the threat of some rain. the heavy, thundery downpours on saturday are probablyjust the heavy, thundery downpours on saturday are probably just the other side of the channel. a few showers

breaking out mainly across wales and the midlands. and further north a fair bit of cloud, it could be a little bit cool and damp in north—east england and south—east scotland for a while but otherwise northern half of the uk for the weekend should be dry with more sunshine on sunday, it's getting a bit warmer but look at what's happening further south. the thread off —— set of heavy, thundery downpours moving up southern england, towards wales and the midlands. a lot of uncertainty as to how far that rain will get across the uk. a reminder of our top story. the government prepares to set out its latest update on foreign travel, with the hope of new destinations without quarantine. with the hope of new destinations that's it, so goodbye from me. with the hope of new destinations now on bbc one, let'sjoin our news teams where you are.

good afternoon. it's 1:30pm and here's your latest sports news... hello, i'm austin halewood with your latest sports news... the group stage of the euros is done and dusted, so all eyes now are on the last 16. wales face denmark in the first of the knockout games on saturday in amsterdam, and wales defender connor roberts believes "99% of the world" will be backing the danes. that's because denmark have been the uplifting story of the tournament so far. after qualifying for the knockout stage just a few days after their midfielder christian erikssen suffered a cardiac arrest on the pitch. and as a result, roberts experts all neutrals to be backing the danes. 90% of the world are going to be supporting denmark on saturday, it is going to be tough, but like you say, we are a good team, we have good players and we have got a little bit of momentum, we have some good performances and all that kind of thing, so hopefully we can take into saturday now and yeah, we know it is going to be tough, they are a

good team, they are going to have a lot of support, but when you cross that white line, you just have to give everything it do make and if it is good enough, it is, then if not, it is not. meanwhile, england know who they will face next... and it had to be germany, didn't it? their match is a 5pm on tuesday at wembley. now, england have been back training at st george's park this morning but harry maguire wasn't with the rest of the squad. the defender started against the czech republic on tuesday night, but that was his first match in more than six weeks. the fa say he's not injured but they are managing his workload. but manager gareth southgate will want him in the squad for that huge match against germany next week and after so much heartache for english fans from that fixture over the years, former england keeper david james says theyjust have to treat it like any other game. i think you just have to play the game, and as a fan, you want to see the most exciting game you want to see the goals, thrills and spills,

but as a player mayjust want to get through to the next round. you are talking about the potential for the opponent in the semifinals, it is just about getting through to the quarterfinals. it doesn't matter what it looks like, bordering 1—0 win at 90 minutes, that will do, thank you very much. away from the euros, silverstone have confirmed that there will be a full house of fans for the british grand prix next month. it's been included in the government's event research programme. that means 140,000 spectators will be at the circuit for the race on the 18th ofjuly — it will be the biggest crowd at a uk event since the start of the pandemic. silverstone said it would work closely with public health experts on the "specific conditions of entry". andy murray has been included in britain's six—strong, tennis team for the tokyo olympics. he's won gold at the last two games, victory in rio coming in the best season of his career when he also won wimbledon, the world tour finals and finished the year as world number one.

as well as defending his singles title injapan, he'll play doubles withjoe salisbury — and as expected, jamie murray hasn't made the team — and there's no cameron norrie — he's decided to focus on the tour. dan evans, neal skupski, johanna konta and heather watson are also heading for tokyo. the paralympics gb line—up includes reigning singles champion gordon reid. he'sjoined by five—time grand slam winner alfie hewett, who claimed silver at rio 2016, along with andy lapthorne, dermot bailey, jordanne whiley and lucy shuker. and cricket's domestic t20 women's competition has been named as the charlotte edwards cup, after the former england captain. eight regional teams are involved, and the action begins this weekend. edwards is england's leading run scorer in the format — still! that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website, bbc.co.uk/sport.

0k, ok, austin, thank you for that. borisjohnson has said he is not ruling out going abroad for his summer vacation this year as the government considers easing restrictions on travel for those who have had two covid—19 vaccination doses. the prime minister was visiting the four rifles hq at aldershot today, here's what he had to say. i think that the real opportunity we all have now is to open up travel through the double jab. if you look at it, we have got more than 60% of our population now have twojobs, i think 83% have had one jab. we are really getting through it now. the crucial thing is come forward and get your second jab. i'm not going to claim that this summer, for travel purposes, is going to be like any other summer, as i said, i do not want to cast a pall over things, but as i said the other day, it will be different. will be to make you be taking a holiday?

what would you say to others? my plans at this stage are at the unformed stage, i'm afraid. i'm going to see how we get on and... i'm certainly not ruling it in or ruling it out. i think what we need to do is get on and do our double jabs and i do think that offers a good way forward. that was the prime ministers speaking on earlier today. the government is to impose a ban on tv adverts for food high in sugar, salt and fat before nine o'clock at night. dr kawther hashem, the campaign lead at action on sugar and nutrition researcher at queen mary university of london. earlier, she said the move will have a significant impact. we know over the last couple of years, since 2010, advertising online had increased significantly. and to change the environment online which children are exposed to through unhealthy food ads we are currently seeing,

we could limit that or remove that exposure, it's likely children will see an impact on what they prefer when it comes to eating, theirfood preferences, immediately after seeing an ad and their long—term food preferences. we know that is likely to have a huge impact, if we have this total restriction on these types of ads. when you talk about what we prefer when it comes to eating, our habits are built up over a period of time and when you look at the statistics, the uk population's weight has risen with more than 60% of the adult population now overweight or obese. and the stats are one in three kids is leaving primary school overweight. so, how much does the ban on advertising, which, as you say, suggests what someone might fancy at that moment, have already gone into? but how much does it impact on the habits people have already gone into?

the government estimates these restrictions could remove up to 7 billion calories from the national diet every year. sorry, do you mind... it isn't your stat but when you hear a stat like that, 7 billion calories from the national diet, what does it mean? someone earlier said it is three calories per person per day which is nothing. yes, you know, these are population estimates. they will have an impact on some groups of the population and less so on others. we know people from more deprived backgrounds get targeted by these advertisements more and end up having more of these unhealthy products and actually, we know from statistics that deprived areas have higher rates of child obesity. we need to look at what is causing that, we know advertising is very manipulative and influencing children's habits significantly now. so the impact will differ depending on your background, your upbringing and so forth. but this estimate is based

on the government's assessment and it is 7 billion calories from the national diet every year. this impact will come especially on children's diets because this is about limiting exposure of unhealthy food products being seen by children and we know that, as you quoted the statistics, they are significant, and i think the government needs to look at a number of approaches. this will not fix the whole issue around childhood obesity, of course, but it is going to help because actually what children see on ads has an immediate effect on what they prefer after seeing an ad, and how it sets or shapes theirfood preferences in the long term. if we start to change that environment, change that exposure, perhaps we could influence children to prefer better foods. those 7 billion calories per year is obviously a projection. i don't know how a figure like that gets arrived at.

but there are examples of other countries where you can look at hard data of what has happened after an advertising ban like this. so, actually, the uk has had one of the best restrictions when it comes to children's tv time, which is why you won't see ads for unhealthy products at children's tv time at children's tv time so these are the shows that are particularly targeted towards children, and we know that has had an impact. but what we've seen over the last couple of years is actually there has been a huge shift to moving ads to between 6pm—9pm, during family tv time where 60% of ads were for unhealthy products and children are getting exposed to this. how can we take a further step to limit that? this is the further step. we also know that since 2010, we have seen a 450% increase in ads online for food. a high proportion of them would be for unhealthy foods and actually

children's consumption of media online has increased significantly so they are exposed to that, too. this restriction is trying to limit that exposure and protect children from these influences that really are unwarranted, we don't need children to have this kind of exposure. we need them to see the healthy foods, to find them more appealing and this essentially will change companies�* practices because a company that has a product that is described as high in fat, salt and sugar, they will look at the product and say, "ok, we know we are not allowed to advertise this product because it contains too much salt so if we reduce the amount of salt, we can advertise it." so it is also changing how companies are formulating their products, and this kind of change will result in even stronger impacts at changing and reducing our intake of unhealthy products.

you're watching bbc news. the headlines on bbc news... the government prepares to set out its latest update on foreign travel, with the hope of new destinations without quarantine. the prime minister insists a royal navy warship had the right to travel through waters off crimea, despite angering moscow. as we've been hearing... tv adverts forjunk food are to be banned before 9pm, in a bid to tackle childhood obesity. its being labelled "a silent tragedy in a forgotten location," with communities on the indian ocean island of madagascar, on the verge of starvation. people are having to walk for hours to get food, following the worst drought in four decades. courtney bembridge has the story. unrelenting drought in southern madagascar has put hundreds of thousands of people on the brink of famine. there is almost no water and families are eating mad, ——mud, insects and cactus leaves because there's nothing else.

translation: i prepared this plate of insects, - i cleaned them up as best i can, given there is almost no water. for eight months, my children and i have been eating only this plant every day because we have nothing else, and no rain to allow us to harvest what we have sown. the world food programme says more than half a million people are at severe risk of famine and another 800,000 people won't be far behind them. it is seven times worse than it was just a year ago. seven times more children are in trouble. we are facing the worst drought in over 40 years and this is an area where people depend on their own agriculture. these two young children are orphans being cared for by another local woman who has three children of her own. translation: we have nothing left, their mother is dead _ and my husband is dead. what do you want me to say? our life is all about looking for cactus leaves again and again to survive. many people have had to leave

and as the effects of climate change intensify, more will soon follow. the world health organization says drought could displace 700 million people by 2030. a man from bristol is recovering after having coronavirus for nearly 300 days — longer than anyone else recorded in the world. dave smith, who is 72, had to have a special antibody treatment to beat the virus — which had been active inside him and causing symptoms for nearly a year. jon kay has been to meet him. all right? yeah, out of breath, nearly on _ all right? yeah, out of breath, nearly on my _ all right? yeah, out of breath, nearly on my limit. _ all right? yeah, out of breath, nearly on my limit. keep - all right? yeah, out of breath, nearly on my limit. keep on. l all right? yeah, out of breath, i nearly on my limit. keep on. that all right? yeah, out of breath, - nearly on my limit. keep on. that is dave smith's _ nearly on my limit. keep on. that is dave smith's motto. _ nearly on my limit. keep on. that is dave smith's motto. keep - nearly on my limit. keep on. that is dave smith's motto. keep on. - nearly on my limit. keep on. that is dave smith's motto. keep on. mostj dave smith's motto. keep on. most people have it in their body for ten days, he had it for nearly 300. whenever a new medical person opens up my whenever a new medical person opens up my file, they look at it and say,

available last week, but publication was delayed without explanation. the yorkshire wolds and cheshire sandstone ridge could be designated as new �*areas of outstanding natural beauty'. this means they would be given extra legal protection and subject to tighter planning laws. our environment and rural affairs correspondent, claire marshall, reports. as our population grows, so does the pressure on our wild places. the government is now proposing to protect more of the landscape. these are the yorkshire wolds. they could be designated as an area of outstanding natural beauty. they wouldn't be immune from development, but there would be more legal safeguards, such as tighter planning laws. the cheshire sandstone ridge is also being put forward for protected status. we've discovered over the years that by having area of outstanding natural beauty status, it does bring more people there. we have the most wonderful network of footpaths and bridleways across the country.

we have wonderful tourism attractions in these places and also within them are some of our wonderful national nature reserves. more of the surrey hills could also be protected. but business leaders worry that new laws could stifle economic development. tourism is to be supported. we have many members who are in this sector. our concerns revolve around the word protection, and designation, and whether in fact that's going to lead to increased development controls through the planning process. conservationists say many areas already given protected status are under threat. the government said today more of the chilterns could be safeguarded but part of the controversial high—speed rail link, hs2, is being built here. wildlife groups argue that what is needed is properfunding, and legally binding targets to help restore the natural world. claire marshall, bbc news.

ben's up next with the news, but now... it's time for a look at the weather with darren bett. high temperature today are expected to be in the sunshine. a slice of warm air, more humid air coming in, some parts of the country, but that warm air between those two weather fronts with the weather front in the north being more active, that is what we see the heaviest of the rain. it moves down across scotland, more rain later this afternoon with northern ireland. the first weather front produces this patchy rain and drizzle, towards east anglia and the south—east, it brightens up across northern england, with some sunshine, temperatures of 23 or 24. no football to watch today, but there is a live cricket, that is on bbc two this evening. maybe one or two showers first thing in cardiff, they will soon move away, and those clouds will brighten. the next band of rain arrives later. that moves away from scotland, northern ireland, heads into wales, later on in the evening and then pushing eastwards to england later on.

it will be quite a warm night across england and wales, much warmer than last night, but it doesn't cool off a little but it does cool off a little in scotland, northern ireland, a northerly breeze here, but that northerly breeze will push cooler air across much of the country. we see the rain clearing away from eastern parts of england, continuing to affect southern and eastern scotland, perhaps the farthest corners of england, and across england and wales it brightens up, but perhaps even some heavy and thundery showers. temperatures will be lower, and noticeable changes. a drop of 10 degrees or more. high pollen levels today for england and wales, higher levels restricted more to wales, middle and southwards. on the weekend, we have quite a contrast, high pressure builds across the atlantic to northern parts of the uk, but we keep the low pressure to the south. it threatens some showers. on saturday, the heavy, thundery showers, likely to be the other side of the channel, a few showers breaking out in the midlands, parts of wales,

some of the patchy rain clinging to the south—east of scotland, north—east england, keeping it cooler. generally for the northern half of the uk, it is dry and bright. more on the way of sunshine for these areas, sunday as a result, it should be warmer as well. we have an increasing risk of catching some downpours across southern england, perhaps into wales and through the midlands. uncertainty as to how far north that rain will get. during sunday.

this is bbc news. i'm ben mundy. the headlines: the government prepares to update its foreign travel guidance — with the possibility of new quarantine—free destinations. and the prime minister holds out hope that those who've received two covid jabs may have more freedom to head abroad. the crucial thing is come forward and get your second jab. now, i'm not going to claim that this summer for travel purposes is going to be like any other summer. tv adverts forjunk food are to be banned before 9pm, in a bid to tackle childhood obesity. the prime minister insists a royal navy warship had the right to travel through waters off crimea, despite angering moscow. britney spears tells a court, "i want my life back," as she battles for control of her financial affairs,
