moment did indeed come from raheem sterling, england's match winner twice at this tournament already and then�*s hero again. twice at this tournament already and then's hero again.— then's hero again. there is your sark, then's hero again. there is your spark. wembley _ then's hero again. there is your spark, wembley light! - then's hero again. there is your| spark, wembley light! wembley then's hero again. there is your - spark, wembley light! wembley could or should have — spark, wembley light! wembley could or should have got _ spark, wembley light! wembley could or should have got right _ spark, wembley light! wembley could or should have got right back- spark, wembley light! wembley could or should have got right back in - or should have got right back in this dashing then. thomas miller doesn't usually miss such chances, even he couldn't believe it. not much being made at the performances of england captain, harry can, it only takes one moment to answer your critics. this was his, this was england's. a historic occasion, and historic victory. england are through, and it is extraordinary celebrations. adam wild, bbc news. our sports presenterjohn watson is at wembley and joins us live. it isa it is a match outcome that people have been waiting for for decades, john. but it didn't start in a particularly promising fashion. ida. particularly promising fashion. no, it didn't. it was _ particularly promising fashion. iifr, it didn't. it was germany who had the better of the chances, certainly in the first half, and arguably

should've taken the lead. germany had a great chance to score, that in the england's call came to action with a great save, and hurricane winds close to the end of the first half, but another good chance in the second half, jordan pickford again with a brilliant save. it was crucial goals at a crucial moment towards the end of the match. it was gareth southgate who brought onjack to change things, he had an immediate impact. his path sped through to luke to score his third goal, raheem sterling, in the tournaments, the provider of all of england's goals in this tournament before harry kane got a much—needed goal. he has faced critics for his failure to find the net so far as captain in this tournament. he came up captain in this tournament. he came up at the crucial goal which provided that buffer late on in this last 16 tie wood siding then through to the quarterfinals. it does seem astonishing, doesn't debts, that we talk about how long it's been for england to wait for this result. 55

years in the making. you have to go all the way back to the world cup in 1966 when england last beat germany in a knockout match in a major tournaments. they obviously lifted the world cup fan, but there have been so many near mrs. they played them at the 1970 world cup, the 1990 world cup where chris mist that penalty. euro 96 year 25 years ago when gareth southgate mist a penalty, crucial penalty has england lost to germany in the semi finals and then they played them in their most recent match at a competitive fixture. the world cup in germany backin fixture. the world cup in germany back in 2010. they were comprehensively beaten that day, not today, and it was interesting to hear gareth southgate talk about how his players were not burdened with that history coming into that match, but you have a sense that perhaps he was quite a touching moment in his post match interview as he was saying, he saw david seaman upon the big screen and said he could not take away that penalty mist that he mist 25 years ago, but hopefully now he has created some special memories and perhaps we can no longer go

through those reruns of the heart ache and the near mrs that have obviously seen england's go through those big games in the past stop at the all important question now is what is the route through to the final? it has opened up for england. you have got to say that. this last 16 tie was always going to be the toughest on paper when you consider that it was going to be anyone from that it was going to be anyone from that really tough group of portugal, germany, france, it was germany that they face tapping finished second in their group. they have come through this, and it does open up for them now. all eyes on the game in hampden park whichjust got now. all eyes on the game in hampden park which just got under way in glasgow where sweden are taking on the ukraine. england will face the winners of that match in rome on saturday. kick—off is at eight o'clock, very winnable match on paper in light of overcoming germany, and then in the semi finals, it will be potentially denmark that they would face if they

come through their quarterfinal tie. so, it certainly has opened up for england when you consider the teams that are in the other side of the drive from italy against belgium that will be a tough match. staying in there as well, but as we know, we have seen a lot of shocks in this tournament already, with the likes of the world cup winners, france going out, portugal has gone out, we saw the world cup finalists go out as well and the netherlands who have that talent to go on and win the title this year such as their prep product —— impressive performances rep. they have been shocks and surprises, and the way that england had fared in the past, it's of course would not be a surprise where england to beat germany and then perhaps go on and lose to a team they would be expected to beat. gareth southgate has sent his team up gareth southgate has sent his team up very well. they got throughout the tasks and challenges that face them to the groups face. i got past germany at long last and they will be desperate to avoid any possible upsets, but it has to be said, things have opened up for england now, and there is a clear route to that final which will be staged back

tonight's performance. what made that difference?— tonight's performance. what made that difference? once again, england have shown resilience _ that difference? once again, england have shown resilience defensively - have shown resilience defensively that hasn't always been the case. they are the only team in the tournament hasn't conceded a goal. that's from four matches. if you don't concede, you cannot lose. southgate has seen the pattern in 2016 at the euros and at the world cup in 2018, they worked out that they won those tournaments that they didn't concede, and then they back because other players to come up with the goods, in that case, it was england who scored the goals, and then they come on. it's a fairly simple game plan, but everybody is buying into its, the whole squad collectively recognises the greater glory here, and they are working to that plan. the glory here, and they are working to that lan. , , , ., that plan. the substitution in the second half. _ that plan. the substitution in the second half, did _ that plan. the substitution in the second half, did that _ that plan. the substitution in the second half, did that make - that plan. the substitution in the second half, did that make a - that plan. the substitution in the second half, did that make a big| second half, did that make a big difference, do you think, in terms of the confidence of the team to

play slightly more tackling second—half the space opened up in the last 20 minutes. teams get tired, but keeping wasn't so much hand,it tired, but keeping wasn't so much hand, it was the quality of the past by shot to sterling. that was the gamebreaker, but he did well he gamebreaker, but he did well ie: couldn't stand gamebreaker, but he did well “i9 couldn't stand up for the first five minutes. it was, you know, it was good work all the way around. gareth southgate is a shrewd man. he's got a load of flak this week by people who don't understand football. he is playing a certain way, he knows what he's doing, and it is showing now. a nice two years, he has one penalty shoot—out, he's beaten germany. england had not done that for a long, long time. in a competitive game, germany in 2000. raheem sterlin: game, germany in 2000. raheem sterling has _ game, germany in 2000. raheem sterling has had _ game, germany in 2000. raheem sterling has had a _ game, germany in 2000. raheem sterling has had a good _ game, germany in 2000. raheem i sterling has had a good competition so far consistent performance all the way through england's aims. here

he has taken a lot of flak. getting a goal and that near mass in the first half, then that all—important goal in the second, how will that help him as captain in terms of the leadership he gives to the rest of the team going through the rest of the team going through the rest of the competition? he the team going through the rest of the competition?— the team going through the rest of the competition? he is a stray care, the competition? he is a stray care, the are the competition? he is a stray care, they are fed — the competition? he is a stray care, they are fed on _ the competition? he is a stray care, they are fed on confidence, - the competition? he is a stray care, they are fed on confidence, it - the competition? he is a stray care, | they are fed on confidence, it makes them different players. he could see in the second half, after he found his game a bit more, but he is also a remarkable goal—scorer and a terrific player, and teams now will be fearful of what harry kane will do to them because they know what he can do to them. he's got a terrific record for england. he wasn't playing particularly well. he had no service in the first three games and he snatched the half chance he had in the first half, but it came into his naps, and when it mattered, he was there. he put the ball away, which is what he has done for the last five years for england. that ca tain's last five years for england. that captain's position _ last five years for england. that captain's position i _ last five years for england. that captain's position i guess on the team, martin, for now, thank you very much.

lines and does invented things that are not formulaic, but really, you can't argue with gareth southgate, they have 12—0 against germany and gone into a quarterfinal that they could probably win. i think there is something about gareth southgate. he slightly breaks the mould as football managers. he's intelligence, he's thoughtful, he talks about the human qualities i think we would all like to see more of in our world and in football, and get on him, really, he has got it right. get on him, really, he has got it riuht. ~ ~' ., get on him, really, he has got it riuht. ~ ., ., _ , , ., right. we know obviously because of the other match, _ right. we know obviously because of the other match, the _ right. we know obviously because of the other match, the way _ right. we know obviously because of the other match, the way that - the other match, the way that matches at the moment, either belgium will eliminate each other, when will eliminate the other. so what about the options that lie ahead? are there any of the teams at the moments that make you nervous about england's prospects of winning this tournaments?— this tournaments? well, i think belaium this tournaments? well, i think belgium are — this tournaments? well, i think belgium are the _ this tournaments? well, i think belgium are the ones _ this tournaments? well, i think belgium are the ones i - this tournaments? well, i think belgium are the ones i feel- this tournaments? well, i think - belgium are the ones i feel nervous about. i certainly wouldn't feel

nervous about sweden or ukraine in the quarterfinal game. belgium has looked consistently good. they were slightly cautious in the first half against the danes, but they came back and really won that game, very convincingly. i see a little bit of italy, but they did pretty well to shave a win against austria. st is a little bit short, like the 2018 world cup, you know, where a lot of the superpowers of the game are slightly out of the competition now. you know, it is a slightly free around. although, in that competition, they did come up against belgium, the third—place playoff and lost to croatia and belgium were better. belgium has got better players than manfred mann, but, you know, ithink better players than manfred mann, but, you know, i think as tonight showed, you know, it is all about the kind of fractional moments. thomas miller had a run through on

in the sentencing remarks, he said that the obvious aggravating factor is that he committed this offence while on duty as a police officer. the police play an essential and important role in upholding the rule of law. the public interest i was to the police. the public entrusts power to the police. it is not an easyjob and police have to undergo and go through dangerous situations. the sentence must reflect the importance of maintaining public confidence in the police and in doing so, he said that he would have to serve eight years in prison. we are waiting to hear a statement from the atkinson family. we will have heard the reaction to the conviction this week. we are expecting them to come back out and have a statement on their behalf today. we are still awaiting news from the crown prosecution service. i mentioned there were two police officers called out to the 999 call on that night in telford five years ago. the other defendant in this trial was pc mary—ellen bettley—smith. she denied a charge of assault. the jury couldn't reach a verdict on that and cps, crown prosecution service will decide on whether that will have a retrial.

since phil mackie sent us that from outside court, mr atkinson's family have given this statement. pc monk used horrendous force against dalian, who was in an extremely vulnerable position and in mental health crisis, and he needed help. this was a callous attack and a terrible abuse of a police officer's position of trust. he then failed to give a full and honest account of what happened, including at his trial. we're pleased that all of these factors have been reflected in the sentence. we were shocked to learn that pc monk was not sacked in february 2011 for gross misconduct for his dishonesty. he should've never had been working for the police in august 2016 and dalian should not have died. we pay tribute to all the bereaved families of black men who have died at the hands of the police and whose fight forjustice has not led to successful prosecutions.

it shouldn't take the death of a famous footballer for the criminaljustice system to work properly, and we hope that more families can secure justice in future regardless of whether the deceased is a high—profile person. as his fellow footballers take the knee, we hope that they will honour the memory of dalian. whilst this case has taken far too long, we thank the iopc and the cps for ultimately bringing pc monk tojustice. a statement read on behalf of dalian atkinson's family there. now it's time for a look at the weather. hello. a showery end to the day across parts of east anglia, particularly southeast england. 0vernight, a lot of cloud coming in across eastern areas of the uk. and into the morning, giving what will be quite a grey, gloomy start. with these areas of cloud here, there will be some light rain and drizzle around. it will be misty in places too.

clearest weather overnight, western parts of scotland, particularly wales and southwest england getting off to a mild start in the morning, but it's here we get to see the early sunshine. west is favoured for the brightest skies during wednesday, probably brightening up more widely across scotland as the day goes on. central and eastern england, though, keeping this cloud. again, some areas of light rain and drizzle, and with the cloud, it's going to be a really rather cool for the time of year, as temperatures, if you are right on the coast, maybe around 15 celsius with the breeze here also, which is going to be quite noticeable. elsewhere, the winds are reasonably light, and if you do get into that sunshine, as many western areas will, again, we will see temperature just creeping into the low 20s. that's your latest forecast.

hello, you're watching bbc news with me, shaun ley. the headlines this hour: england beat germany in euro 2020 to progress through to the quarterfinals.

commentator: shaw. across for sterling! and now grealish... grealish in! in comes the captain! it was a brilliant afternoon, you know? we've talked about bringing enjoyment to the nation, really, and afternoons like this are what that's about. in other news, a man has been charged with murder of the police sergeant shot dead inside a croydon custody centre. former police officer benjamin monk is jailed for eight years for the manslaughter of ex—footballer dalian atkinson. in other news, self—isolation for school pupils because of covid could be scrapped in england next term — replaced by daily testing. police are investigating video footage which appears to show england's chief medical officer, professor chris whitty, being accosted by two men in a park.

there are renewed calls for a change in the rules on what schools in england should do when a pupil tests positive for covid. at the moment, all children in a bubble are sent home. latest official figures show a sharp rise in covid—related absences. more than 375,000 pupils were out of school for covid—related reasons last week. that's about one in 20 children. and absences have quadrupled this month alone. ministers says one solution could be more testing in schools come september. 0ur education correspondent elaine dunkley sent this report from salford. this is elsmere park high school in eccles. nearly one third of the pupils are at home isolating. we have had loads and loads of year eight and year seven having to isolate over the past week and i have taken a big hit with my year ten class. the delta variant is causing significant disruption and the return of remote learning. science is difficult and it is difficult to communicate,

having to anticipate, what things will they need to know? what am i going to have to do to catch them up when they get back in? how am i going to make sure that not made the other kids bored because they have already learned it? and it is just really difficult. a positive case of covid in schools means children who have been in close contact are sent home to isolate for ten days. when you're in the last years of school, it is hard to learn, so being outside of schooljust disrupts it. and it's notjust pupils being sent home. it is also causing staff shortages, with some teachers having to isolate to look after their own children. i feel guilty for not being in work. if your children are staying at home and you are trying to find alternative childcare, you feel like you are not there for them because you are at work. with the staff having to be off, they might have a child in nursery or a child in primary, they were literally being torn which column is it, guys, that is being sorted alphabetically? last week, 336,000 children in england were at home being taught remotely because they may have come

in contact with a confirmed case. currently, secondary school children are encouraged to do covid tests twice a week. the government is considering daily tests to reduce the numbers of pupils needlessly being sent home. we have been conducting a trial of daily contact testing as an alternative to self—isolation for those who have come into contact with somebody. that trial ends tomorrow. we will look at the data and see how effective that it is as an approach. forfamilies, it is groundhog day. once again, dealing with the challenges of work and home—schooling. me and my husband have four—year—old twins at home, and last friday, we got a message saying there's a covid case in their bubble at school, you'll have to stay home. if you have a covid case in a bubble at a school, and then you test all of the other kids and the other kids are negative, then i think they should be trying to get them back to school earlier than ten days later, because ijust think the strain on the kids and also on the parents and caregivers is, by this point,

it is really horrendous. the challenges of dealing with covid in classrooms has been constant. this term is nearly over, but there is growing pressure on the government to come up with the details of the new school rules for september. elaine dunkley, bbc news, in eccles. let's take a look at the latest coronavirus data for the uk. a further 20,479 people have tested positive for the virus in the last 24—hour period. there have been 23 more deaths from coronavirus — that's within 28 days of a positive test. and 44.5 million people have now been fulled vaccinated against coronavirus. weekly registrations of deaths involving covid—19 in wales have dropped to zero for the first time since the pandemic began. the office for national statistics says none of the 573 deaths registered in wales in the week ending 18th ofjune mentioned covid—19 on the death certificate.

in england, there was a 21% rise from the previous week. most of australia has now gone into lockdown, with brisbane and perth being the latest cities to introduce restrictions. australia has effectively sealed itself off from the rest of the world during the pandemic, but there's growing criticism of how slow its vaccine roll—out has been. shaimaa khalil reports. australians have been here before. 18 months into the pandemic, there is a familiar foreboding feeling. the more infectious delta variant of the coronavirus has swept the world. and there is nervousness here as the sydney cluster continues to grow. the city and other parts of new south wales are in lockdown and as cases pop up around the country, other states are following suit. i've ordered a lockdown. lockdown. that means we need a lockdown. australia kept covid—19 cases low

by effectively sealing itself off from the world. international borders are largely closed and anyone allowed in must go into hotel quarantine first. but the delta variant of the virus has breached those defences much quicker than health officials had anticipated, and with most australians still unvaccinated, that has put the country any vulnerable position. we have been lucky to date, and complacent, because we are isolated. i am not overly worried. if anything, i think they have been overly protected. i think we have squandered a huge opportunity. - vaccines, or a lack of them, are the biggest gripe here. this latest outbreak has underlined how slow and at times shambolic the roll—out has been. less than a quarter of australians have had at least one covid—19 jab, lagging far behind other rich developed countries, as well as poorer nations such as brazil. while there has been some vaccine hesitancy, the biggest issue is supply, especially for the pfizerjab. i can't stress enough —

the major frustration here is the virus. that is the major thing working against australia. the next few weeks are crucial, with this country's covid success story now hanging in the balance. here, borisjohnson says he is "shocked" at what he called the "despicable harassment" of professor chris whitty. police are investigating after england's chief medical officer was approached in a london park. footage shared online appears to show him being accosted by two men. the metropolitan police says it has spoken to all those involved in the incident, which took place on sunday. with me is human rights activist, protestor and founder of the peter tatchell foundation, peter tatchell. and i'm alsojoined by human rights lawyer paul gilbert. thank you, both, for being with us on bbc news. peter tatchell, first of all, you have been a public figure now for the best part to 40 years and they're been quite a number of incidents in which you

has largely been a behind—the—scenes figure, and visibly paul, this kind of thing for someone like that is kind of like a real shock.- kind of like a real shock. yes, it is uuite kind of like a real shock. yes, it is quite clear— kind of like a real shock. yes, it is quite clear if— kind of like a real shock. yes, it is quite clear if you _ kind of like a real shock. yes, it is quite clear if you look - kind of like a real shock. yes, it is quite clear if you look at - kind of like a real shock. yes, it is quite clear if you look at the l is quite clear if you look at the video— is quite clear if you look at the video that _ is quite clear if you look at the video that he is incredibly discomforted by what happens, and actually— discomforted by what happens, and actually come it really is quite appalling, because, in fact, he is being— appalling, because, in fact, he is being subjected to an assault. those who chose _ being subjected to an assault. those who chose to do whatever it was they thought _ who chose to do whatever it was they thought they were trying to do are engaging — thought they were trying to do are engaging in an assault on him, just as i engaging in an assault on him, just as i know— engaging in an assault on him, just as i know peter will understand those _ as i know peter will understand those people who tried to rip off his ntask— those people who tried to rip off his mask last weekend were assaulting him. the problem with these _ assaulting him. the problem with these things is whether the person is prepared to pursue it to court and go — is prepared to pursue it to court and go through what you would have to -o and go through what you would have to go through involved in a court case: _ to go through involved in a court case, but — to go through involved in a court case, but the reality is that it seems — case, but the reality is that it seems as— case, but the reality is that it seems as though people seem to be, they feel— seems as though people seem to be, they feel empowered almost to be able to—

blame all brexit supporters. many have the gym and point of view and their perfectly civil, but there is an element since the brexit campaign which really has course in public life and made barroom rolling in politics almost acceptable, or they've tried to make it acceptable, and i can think of so many people who have suffered a similar fate. 0wen jones was recently who have suffered a similar fate. 0wenjones was recently mobbed by people near parliament. there are 70 people, i really... it is not conducive to democracy cub because if people live in fear, if they are afraid of consequences, they will not venture out in public, they will not venture out in public, they will not speak their minds, and that closes down free speech, he closes down public discourse. paul gilbert, i mean, down public discourse. paul gilbert, i mean. what _ down public discourse. paul gilbert, i mean, what are _ down public discourse. paul gilbert, i mean, what are the _ down public discourse. paul gilbert, i mean, what are the legal- down public discourse. paul gilbert, | i mean, what are the legal remedies that would be available for somebody like chris whitty? presumably you've got the advantage in some ways the

to chris whitty himself, he must make that decision. i would hope that he has such strong evidence that he has such strong evidence that he has such strong evidence that he would now feel, notjust for his sake but the sake of others, that he would agree for terminal proceedings to go ahead. it is not just about him, it is about all people in public life and indeed private citizens who are subject to this kind of behaviour —— criminal proceedings. it has got to stop. we need to send a signal by bringing prosecutions.— need to send a signal by bringing prosecutions. peter tatchell, paul gilbert, thank _ prosecutions. peter tatchell, paul gilbert, thank you _ prosecutions. peter tatchell, paul gilbert, thank you very _ prosecutions. peter tatchell, paul gilbert, thank you very much i prosecutions. peter tatchell, paul gilbert, thank you very much for i gilbert, thank you very much for being with us on bbc news, discussing that problem of growing importance. thank you. to south africa now. former presidentjacob zuma has been sentenced to 15 months in prison, for contempt of court. it follows his refusal to appear, at an anti—corruption inquiry in february. jacob zuma has accused the inquiry of political bias and denies involvement in a number of financial scandals. he was ousted as president in 2018

after allegations of mismanagement and systematic corruption. here's our africa correspondent, andrew harding. south africa's top court was clear and scathing in its ruling. declaring jacob zuma was a manipulative liar who had sought to destroy the rule of law to save his own skin. no person is above the law. and every person, whatever his position, is subject to the ordinary realm of the law and amenable to the jurisdiction of its tribunals. jacob zuma, already on trial for a separate corruption case, now jacob zuma, already on trial for a separate corruption case, now has five days to hand himself over to the police. this is an extraordinary moment for south africa. mr zuma still has some support here, people who believe he has been targeted as part of a vast political conspiracy. but many more south africans

will be relieved to see the judiciary holding firm. mr zuma is facing jail for refusing to cooperate with this public inquiry into the corruption which flourished during his presidency. he insists he is innocent, a victim. but today, a man who last went to prison half a century ago for his role as a freedom fighter against racial apartheid is heading back to jail in the democracy he sought to build. andrew harding, bbc news. less than 1% of authors studied at gcse english literature level in england are from an ethnic minority background — that's according to new research. campaigners are now calling for more diversity in the curriculum. the government says schools have flexibility to choose the books they use as part of english literature teaching. adina campbell reports. my favourite author is mallory blackman. i like reading akala.

my favourite author would be joyce carol 0ates. - at this school in south—east london, a discussion about books read inside and outside the classroom. more than a third of schoolchildren in england are from ethnic minority backgrounds. but only a small number of authors in the english literature curriculum from these groups, according to new research by the publisher penguin and runnymede trust think tank for race equality. i feel like you internalise a lot of the things you read, so from reading a book or a novel and people like me are depicted in a certain way, i start to believe that i am the same as that and the truth is, i am not. so we deserve representation. i feel that especially in younger years, the texts that are chosen, it is like they were not chosen with the students in mind. the research analysed gcse exam board data for more than half a million students in england in 2019. it found fewer than 1% answered a question on a book by a black, asian, or ethnic minority author, while more than 80% said they couldn't recall ever

studying a book by an author from an ethnic minority background. and just 7% had answered a question on a book by a woman at gcse. some of britain most well—known black writers say change has been too slow. we have to represent a diverse britain that is forward—looking, that is multicultural and it is important that kids see themselves in that reflection. and it is notjust about black and asian kids. it is also about white young children. and for those in charge in lessons, some believe greater diversity makes a big difference. i have made it my mission to try and diversify the curriculum and choose texts that speak directly to all the voices that exist in the classroom. the government says teachers have

flexibility to choose the books they use as part of teaching, and the curriculum is designed to ensure that all pupils appreciate rich and varied literary heritage through a wide range of text. but campaigners are calling for further action and want to see better representation being a mandatory part of the british curriculum. we mostly hear about about the history curriculum being changed. history is slightly contested, i think we live in the real world, we have to understand that history comes with a lot of emotion. but english literature and the reading of books comes with joy, it comes with children discovering worlds they don't have access to. back in the library, talk turns to what the future could look like. i think that we need to add more books that we can reallyjust connect with. adina campbell, bbc news. now, how much would you pay

for this used car? it's a light blue ford escort, 40 years old. low mileage, one lady owner. that lady was princess diana. the car bought for her by prince charles shortly after they got engaged. well, today, it was up for auction, as luxmy gopal reports. a royal who drew crowds and interest wherever she went, princess diana's life and legacy continues to captivate, even when it comes to her humble 1981 ford escort. inside, you see still in fantastic condition, blue velour interior, very 1980s there. the mark iii ghia was a gift from prince charles shortly after their engagement. she'd watch him play polo from it. and on the bonnet was a playful symbol of their relationship. this little fellow, he is a replica of a gift from lady sarah spencer, the sister of princess diana, and he harks back to the kids' fairy tale the frog prince, in which a beautiful girl kisses a frog and he turns into a prince.

diana moved to this car from a mini metro, which was a car that she owned. of course, the mini metro was a fairly cheap car back in the day. and this was an escort. it's the ghia model, which is the most expensive model, the highest street model. bit of a step up, if i'm honest. the ford fleet, if you like, of cars was used by the royal family for many years. diana had a succession of these. this was the first of three escorts that she had at different times. the car's current owner kept its origins a secret. nine careful owners, relatively low mileage given its age, and bidding begins at £30,000. and we've had inquiries from south america, from australia, from all around europe. there's been significant interest in it. and really, that's testament to diana's enduring legacy. and as you quite rightly say, items with a connection to her, you know, have a great

cachet for collectors. exceeding valuers' expectations, her car has sold for £47,000. diana, even if she had still been alive, would still command the interest because there is no one like her. she was fantastic for the public morale and everything like that. she was the most beautiful woman. while the marriage between charles and diana is remembered for its difficulties and divorce, this was a gift from a prince for a future princess in the early days of their romance. now it's time for a look at the weather with nick miller. hello. the north—south split in our weather becomes rather more east—west over the next couple of days. of course, it's northern areas, northern england, northern ireland and scotland that see the lion's share of the driest, sunniest weather so far this week and particularly across southern areas of england in some spots, it has been very wet.

the east—west orientation of our weather is to do with this area of low pressure still close to eastern parts, but also the flow of air to the north—northeastjust overnight and into tomorrow, bringing a good deal of cloud down across eastern parts here. and with that, there will be some light rain and drizzle be quite and with that, there will be some light rain and drizzle, quite misty within as well. the clear blue skies stay out towards the west, particularly wales and southwest england. as we start off on wednesday morning with the mild start, temperatures holding up into double figures. it will be a rather grey and gloomy start in the east and again, quite damp and drizzly in places, misty, murky. keep a lot of cloud through the day here, i think more of scotland brightening up, northern ireland, wales, western parts of england. some sunny spells coming through here, maybe not as much sunshine as some of us here enjoyed over the past couple of days, unless of course you want a bit more rain on the garden. june for some has been quite dry. a range of temperatures, mid—teens for some north sea coastal parts. but where you get some sunshine,

you break out in to the low 20s. so, we'll have another day with plenty of cloud at wimbledon, perhaps a few spots of rain in the air. gradually, though, as the rest of the week goes on, it'll turn a bit sunnier a bit warmer too. through wednesday evening, no great change but late afternoon parts of wales and southwest england, a chance of things picking up, hitand miss, but possibly heavy and maybe thundery showers. 0vernight and into thursday, some cloud increasing parts of england, a few showers popping up toward england and wales. but most on thursday are looking dry and again, higher temperatures where we will see the sunshine in the low 20s and perhaps a little bit warmer there. largely dry on friday, but over the weekend, another area of low pressure here as things start to turn more unsettled from the southwest, with areas of rain or showers gradually extending northwards as the weekend goes on. you may start dry at the weekend, showers more widespread on sunday,

scotla nd scotland holding onto the driest weather for the longest of the weekend.

this is bbc news, i'm christian fraser. england, finally overcome germany, to progress to the quarter finals of the euros. raheem sterling and harry kane came up with the late goals to hand england a game in rome on saturday night against sweden or ukraine. the painstaking search for survivors in miami continues, we'll take a closer look at what might have caused the building to collapse. the covid control system in england's schools could be scrapped in the autumn. the number of children absent from school has risen 400% injune. and the bears of british columbia whose pool etiquette is not what it could be. but then, it has been 47 degrees celsius.
