hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are james moore from the independent, and annabel denham, director of communications at iea. let's bring you up—to—date with the front pages as we have them so far. yes, it really happened! england's 2—0 victory against germany at the euros takes the front of the metro — and the front of the sun, too, which reports the win brings 55 years of hurt to an end. and gives us something to cheer about, according to the telegraph, which reports on the match at wembley. it leads on more from its campaign to end school—children being in bubbles. it says children from the most—deprived parts of england have been hit hardest. and reports of calls to bring those bubbles to an end make the front of the times, which reports on the education secretary's classroom plans.
11:32 pm
also focusing on tonight's win, the guardian shows us the team celebrations moments after the second goal of the match. it also reports on a fall in life expectency rates in poorer parts of england. "by george, we did it!" the mail leads with the lions�* victory, with pictures showing reactions from fans at wembley, including prince george, who watched the match with his parents, the duke and duchess of cambridge, who can also be seen on the front page of the express. the front also focuses on chris whitty and reports on the police investigation following and incident that took place at the weekend. let's begin. annabelle, you want to kick us off this time with the mirror, "time to dream." yes, i think peeple — mirror, "time to dream." yes, i think people are _ mirror, "time to dream." yes, i think people are really - mirror, "time to dream." yes, i | think people are really beginning mirror, "time to dream." yes, i - think people are really beginning to dream now that there's a sense that this could be it at last, england

may be on the path to victory for the first time since 1966. it's just really nice to see the country united injoy really nice to see the country united in joy and really nice to see the country united injoy and hope rather than divided in misery. when i woke up this morning and looked out the window, the grey, drizzly summer's day that i didn't hold high hopes for england. and actually, i do think there was an element of luck to the game today, perhaps james will be able to speak a bit more analytically on the plate today, will disagree. but my concern is that england didn't really play any better today than france did yesterday when it lost to switzerland, and one of the upsets of the tournament so far. however it looks like the path to our final —— our path to the final is reasonably straightforward. perhaps it's time to dream after all. the straightforward. perhaps it's time to dream after all.— to dream after all. the front page ofthe to dream after all. the front page of the daily _ to dream after all. the front page of the daily mirror _

11:42 pm
covid, everybody in the bible has to self—isolate, resulting in something like one in 20 schoolchildren in england missing school so i feel absolutely, it's excessively cautious, i think around 4% of those children self isolating at home actually have coronavirus. you'll make i think what we are starting to see is the mood music in government starting to change. if if it's not gavin williamson, it ajit javid. perhaps that's being reflected in what we read in the newspapers —— it's sajid javid. but one thing i'm perplexed by is, well that's not all be moot by 19july? is that not the date we are supposed to be getting all our freedoms back and date we are supposed to be getting all ourfreedoms back and have date we are supposed to be getting all our freedoms back and have a full restitution of our liberties, which one suspect would include the things like scrapping of test and trace, facemasks, and other interventions that have been in place the last few months? we want to make sure we keep applying pressure to make sure 19july really
11:43 pm
does mark freedom day. but of course, coronavirus has really exposed long—standing proms our education system, especially education system, especially education system, especially education system it's how our failing our morse democrat most deprived children in our poorest areas —— problems. what we are seeing is this ever widening chasm, and it's going to be difficult for the government to narrow it. when children don't have access to the internet, a laptop, or parents at home to guide them through their learning, it's a fantasy, the idea that it's sufficient substitutions for being in the classroom. james, the yorkshire _ for being in the classroom. james, the yorkshire post _ for being in the classroom. james, the yorkshire post announced - the yorkshire post announced something which, in a sense i suppose was always going to come, but it's still quite striking to see it in a newspaper — the uk is to end the use of coal completely in 202a.

11:45 pm
winners as to establish the old temple route for decarbonisation. i'd like to see perhaps a carbon tax be introduced, and i'm sceptical of this idea that where britain goes, the rest of the world will follow. i think some of the latest data suggests that china admitted 27% of the world's greenhouse gases in 2019. the uk is responsible for about 1%. so yes, there are things that we can do, but the idea that we are going to be global trailblazers in this, i think it is slightly misguided. in this, i think it is slightly misguided-— in this, i think it is slightly misguided. the front of the independent, _ misguided. the front of the independent, eu _ misguided. the front of the independent, eu citizens i misguided. the front of the - independent, eu citizens scramble for the right to remain in the uk. this might surprise people who didn't pay attention to that aspect of brexit, but anyone not a uk citizen should have done, that's 30 june, wednesday, the day of the paper, so tomorrow — that's the last day you can register if you're a european citizen in an eu company

11:47 pm
number of vacancies. we have people trapped in a eye on the furlough scheme which may have been able to fill those roles had the government not extended furlough till the end of september, which a needlessly long time. but i think we need to be identifying ways of encouraging people to move to the uk regardless of their educational qualifications or minimum salary, so that entrepreneurs can take on workers and scale up their businesses more quickly so we can really start to drive our economic recovery. james? i mean, annabelle _ drive our economic recovery. james? i mean, annabelle and _ drive our economic recovery. james? i mean, annabelle and i _ drive our economic recovery. james? i mean, annabelle and i sometimesl i mean, annabelle and i sometimes find each _ i mean, annabelle and i sometimes find each other on the opposite sides. — find each other on the opposite sides. but— find each other on the opposite sides, but in this we are in complete _ sides, but in this we are in complete agreement. these people, for a start, _ complete agreement. these people, fora start, are complete agreement. these people, for a start, are people who live alongside — for a start, are people who live alongside us, they are our neighbours, they are the people who work in _ neighbours, they are the people who work iniobs — neighbours, they are the people who work injobs which neighbours, they are the people who work in jobs which we value. i was 'ust

11:52 pm
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 from raheem sterling. tensions rising yet further. england on top, but germany having their moments. timo werner with the best of them in the first half. but within moments of the restarts, they become even closer, with jordan pickford with the reflex save. no let—up of tension — but history tells us it was always going to be like that. the big moment did indeed came eventually from raheem sterling, england's match winner twice at this tournament already, england's hero again. there's your spark, wembley ignites!
11:53 pm
