england against germany — a fixture with a storied history of which few need reminding. somehow, fate always seems to bring these teams together, once more, just one match to separate them. 40,000 at wembley — if ever an occasion deserved a crowd, this is it. the start, almost as spectacular as the atmosphere, raheem sterling with the early effort. that was going in for raheem sterling. tensions rising yet further. england on top, but germany having their moments. time werner with the best of them in the first half. but within moments of the restart, they become even closer, kai havertz with the volley, jordan pickford with the reflex save. no let—up of tension, but history tells us it will always be like that. the big moment did indeed came
11:03 pm
eventually from raheem sterling, england's match winner twice at this tournament already, england's hero again. there's your spark! wembley ignites! germany could, perhaps should have got right back in this the. —— into this almost immediately. thomas muller doesn't usually miss such chances — even he couldn't believe it. not much has been made at the performances of england captain, harry kane — it only takes one moment to answer your critics. this was his, this was england's. an historic occasion, an historic victory. england are through, amidst extraordinary celebrations. adam wild, bbc news. millions of england fans could only dare to dream of tonight's victory. in pubs, clubs, homes and parks, people gathered. and asjon kay reports from plymouth in devon, fans even watched in their own stadium. where better to watch than home park? i hope we get through.

11:05 pm
england is going to win and football is coming home! it's coming home! half—time, and for some, a fixture clash at the back of the stadium. when you realised you had yourjabs at the same time as the match, what were you thinking? wasn't happy. i came early so that i could watch the match as well. second half. cheering this is the best day of my life. best day of my life. if we hold this out for 12 minutes, we win the tournament, i think. they needn't have worried.

11:07 pm
it was fair and, yeah, sometimes super sad. and this time, football was hard. jubilation and disappointment, is the usual story when you have a game ofjust nine caps. but in the other last 16 magico ukraine beat sweden with a goal in the last—minute of extra time. the game had been tied. but when sweden's danielson was sent off in the first period of extra time, ukraine began to dominate. despite that the match looked set for penalties — until ukraine's dovbyk headed home in the i2ist minute. ukraine will now face england for a place in the semi finals. that matched explodes in rome on saturday. —— takes place in. so, what can we conclude from the last 16 matches and what's up next in euro 2020? let's talk now to my colleague mani djazmi, who's in manchester. thanks very much for being with us.
11:08 pm
the talk goes through. we are going to talk about england, germany, first. and then we'll talk about the ukraine — sweden match, believe me the difference in this match? england, perfectly respectful performance thus far, but people thought they lacked a bit of a spark on the pitch, and even the first half of the skin did not show much of that from either side. i half of the skin did not show much of that from either side.— of that from either side. i think the difference _ of that from either side. i think the difference was _ of that from either side. i think the difference was finishing - of that from either side. i think i the difference was finishing their chances. england did not have many germany did not have many. much of the game was deadlocked in midfield, but germany had some excellent chances either side of half—time, or the striking team of timo werner had a chance, kai havertz, had a chance, but they did not work, they had them at the goalkeeper. when england had their chances, at the crucial point right at the last 15 minutes of the game, they converted, and raheem
11:09 pm
sterling, who has had a lot of criticism for not playing as well as people know he can come dispatched his third goal and harry kane, who has also had a lot of princes him for not scoring at all, scored the second goal, and so i think the cutting—edge was the difference —— has had a lot of criticism. cutting-edge was the difference -- has had a lot of criticism.— has had a lot of criticism. right, how will that _ has had a lot of criticism. right, how will that cutting _ has had a lot of criticism. right, how will that cutting edge - has had a lot of criticism. right, how will that cutting edge be . how will that cutting edge be deployed now with a team like ukraine between glynn and a place in the final? —— between england. i think out of ukraine and sweden, ukraine would have been england's preferred opposition, and they suffered so many injuries in extra time, one of their substitutes came on and had to go off, with potential but not quite a broken leg come after a red card challenge by sweden's playe. what england have is pace, they have options, and able have superior fitness as well because they did not play extra time

50 knots, shattering a record that had stood for 34 years. and there was no hiding the sheer elation of richard branson and his crew. this is bbc news. the latest headlines: for the first time in 55 years, england have beaten germany in a major knock—out football match. england is through to the quarterfinal on saturday. the former president of south africa, jacob 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 back in 2018 after allegations of mismanagement and systematic corruption. here's our african correspondent, andrew harding. south africa's top court was clear and scathing in its ruling, declaring that the former president
11:18 pm
jacob zuma was a manipulative liar who'd sought to destroy the rule of law to save his own skin. no person is above the law. and every person, whatever his rank or condition, is subject to the ordinary realm of the law and amenable to the jurisdiction of its tribunals. jacob zuma, already on trial in 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's 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's 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 fought to build. andrew harding, bbc news. rebel forces in tigray in northern ethiopia have continued hostilities, despite the national government's declaration of a ceasefire in the region. a day after the tigray people's liberation front recaptured the regional capital mekelle from the national government, they appear to have gained even more ground. the fighting has left thousands dead and has pushed 350,000 people to the brink of famine. 0ur africa correspondent vivienne nunis reports. jubilation on the streets as eritrean troops are forced out of shire in tigray. similar scenes were witnessed in the capital mekelle, as ethiopian soldiers fled. the rebel tplf forces appear

11:21 pm
if the government's announcement of a cessation of hostilities does not result in improvements and the situation continues to worsen, ethiopia and eritrea should anticipate further actions. we will not stand by in the face of horrors in tigray. for millions of people in tigray desperate for food and other supplies, the real question is whether the cease—fire will mean better access for those delivering aid. so far, aid agencies say there has been no improvement. this is making it even more difficult for our staff to work and deliver the military and assistance. to work and deliver humanitarian assistance. we call for calm and restraint and appeal to all parties to the conflict to abide by international law, to protect civilians. with hundreds of thousands of people at risk of famine and millions more in urgent need of food, time is running out. for them, the changing military situation needs to translate to a better chance at life. vivienne nunis, bbc news.
