with capacity limits in theatres and cinemas. a return to what the prime minister describes as "pretty much life before covid". ministers are now considering allowing people who have been fully vaccinated to avoid having to quarantine after coming into contact with somebody with the virus. but the british medical association is calling for caution, saying that decisions should not be based on dates, rather than data. we are based on dates, rather than data. - are seeing rocketing rises in infection rates due to the delta variant. so it makes no sense to knowingly continue to see this rocketing of infection rates and not do something about controlling its spread. so what needs to be done is a continuation of some measures to try to prevent the escalation of this bread, while at the same time vaccinating enough of the adult population, including younger people, so that we can achieve control of this infection. the bma sa s control of this infection. the bma says peeple _ control of this infection. the bma says people should _ control of this infection. the bma says people should have - control of this infection. the bma says people should have to - control of this infection. the bma i says people should have to continue

daily tests after they have been in contact with a positive case, under plans being drawn up by ministers. and the i is reporting on the possible benefit for travel abroad. "travel boost for holidays in europe" is the headline. the paper reports that the "hard—line stance" adopted by european union countries around quarantine is softening, with germany due to relax rules for british people who have been double—vaccinated. the other story in town is england's euro 2020 quarterfinal match against ukraine. "yes we kane" is the mirror's front page headline. the paper quotes captain harry kane, who said: "we will give it everything." maintaining the optimism, paul gascoigne has told the sun that if the nation throws its support behind england manager gareth southgate, england can win the euros. "if we trust in gareth, everything else will come good,"

the former international player said. i know lots of people will be getting ready for a big day today, in terms of the buildup to watching the football, especially viewers in england. so if you are, and you are up england. so if you are, and you are up and about already and excited, how is your day looking so far? let us know. how are you preparing for the game a bit later? what is your quarter—final breakfast looking like? quarter-final breakfast looking like? ~ ' :: . , quarter-final breakfast looking like? “i. , ., quarter-final breakfast looking like? ~'::., , ., ., quarter-final breakfast looking like? “i. , ., ., ., quarter-final breakfast looking like? ~'::., , ., ., ., , like? 6:10am. these are going to be early risers — like? 6:10am. these are going to be early risers that _ like? 6:10am. these are going to be early risers that there _ like? 6:10am. these are going to be early risers that there are _ like? 6:10am. these are going to be early risers that there are plenty i early risers that there are plenty of early risers! zf} early risers that there are plenty of early risers!— of early risers! 20 of them out there. of early risers! 20 of them out there- what — of early risers! 20 of them out there. what are _ of early risers! 20 of them out there. what are you _ of early risers! 20 of them out| there. what are you expecting, rachel? what _ there. what are you expecting, rachel? what is _ there. what are you expecting, rachel? what is the _ there. what are you expecting, rachel? what is the image i there. what are you expecting, rachel? what is the image you | rachel? what is the image you expecting? i rachel? what is the image you meeting?— rachel? what is the image you exectina? ., ~ ., , ., expecting? i would like to see an enormous _ expecting? i would like to see an enormous spread, _ expecting? i would like to see an enormous spread, some - expecting? i would like to see an enormous spread, some kind i expecting? i would like to see an enormous spread, some kind ofl enormous spread, some kind of processed meat —based meal... 0k. juice, toast. maybe some pastries. because we need sustenance to see us through. 0k, vegetarian options also good. through. ok, vegetarian options also iood, �* , through. ok, vegetarian options also aood.~ , ., ., .,, through. ok, vegetarian options also aood.�* . , good. always available. the times front page. _ good. always available. the times front page. it _ good. always available. the times front page. it is — good. always available. the times front page, it is worth _ good. always available. the times front page, it is worth showing i good. always available. the times front page, it is worth showing a l front page, it is worth showing a picture because this sums up what an

fairly dry. but it will be a hard push today. you can see the satellite imagery, there is a hard batch of cloud working its way up, and in the way of that, we have seen more extensive range to begin the weekend. about to get good and wet in northern ireland over the next few hours, raining across wales, central and southern england. northern england, a good part of central and southern scotland dry at the moment. but that wetter weather is on its way north. showers breaking out ahead of that, and when the showers come through they could drop quite a bit of rain in a short space of time. brightening up to the south later, butjust sets sophomore in the way of showers. focusing in the high resolution data. you can see they will be some sunshine in between but we willjust have to watch for a zone of showers developing, a divergent zone, the winds meeting somewhere between devon and cornwall through somerset towards the likes of the cotswolds. here we could see the risk of some flooding. to the south and east of that, it should be dry this afternoon, somewhat when this morning, not looking too bad for wimbledon, but we have a sunshine between downpours elsewhere, temperatures still into the low 20s.

but a long way short of what it will be like in rome. quite a humid evening to come there, and a muggy night here. showers and thunderstorms around all the way through the evening, fading away for a time during the night, except across the far north of scotland and to the south and west of the country, when will push their way in. temperatures tonight into tomorrow morning, staying in the midteens for many. tomorrow will be a story of sunshine and showers for many. angus bell is offering to begin within the far north of scotland, but notice the speckled nature of the showers there on the nut. that means it will be hit and miss, and some of you will spend the whole day dry. 0thers miss, and some of you will spend the whole day dry. others will get it by some of those thunderstorms and some pretty nasty downpours stop then as we go through into the start of next week, it is going to that very changeable theme, with showers and thunderstorms likely in scotland, a drier day in northern ireland, northern england and north wales, and towards the midlands. early showers on the south and east fade, and then somewhat and weather push is in, a cooler day on monday, this wet weather we are interested in, if you have got any plans to spend next

week under covers, keep checking the forecast. a deep area of low pressure spreading north from monday night into tuesday, that could bring gales, especially across parts of england and wales. heavy and torrential rain around for a time as well. and even as we go beyond that comedy in —— of the winds will ease down, but the outlook as we go through the end of the weekend into next week, not looking great on the face of it, but i will add, with the of showers, some will see a longer day of dry weather and you will see what the weather, and things should improve a little bit later in the week. that's how it looks. time now for the film review with anna smith. hello and welcome to the film review with me, anna smith. i'm filling in for mark kermode

to review this week's releases. french exit, a dark comedy starring michelle pfeiffer, is finally making a glamourous entrance to uk cinemas this weekend. it's all gone. i spoke to you about this as a possibility for seven years. and then eventuality for three. what did you think was going to happen? francis, what was your plan? my plan was to die before the money ran out, but i kept on not dying and here i am. based on the novel by patrick dewitt and directed by azazeljacobs, it stars michelle pfeiffer as deliciously current manhattan socialite francis price.

after her wealthy husband dies, francis is forced to sell up and decides to move to an apartment in paris with her grown son malcolm, played by lucas hedges. there's also a key role for a pet cat, so this is a fittingly feline move for the former catwoman. what's she paying you? paying me? aren't you her gigolo? oh, god, no. that's my mother. it's not clear exactly when french exit is set, but the transatlantic ship journey to paris lends a pleasingly old—fashioned flavour. in fact, this emerges as the strongest sequence, despite wanted amusing set pieces later. francis clearly finds her son's complicated love life rather dull and i would have to agree, although i did enjoy an understated turn from danielle mcdonald as a psychic he has a one night stand with. i've only been unlucky, but i have a sense that this will change suddenly and permanently.

anyway, that is what i told myself. but this is pfeiffer�*s show. she brings a seductive quality to the dewitt�*s stylised dialogue and a tinge of sweetness and regret to the withering, wearily cynical barbs. i've been incredibly lucky at times and tragically unlucky and others. french exit is a strange, slightly morbid film that won't be for everyone, but it has its pleasures for fans of pfeiffer, black comedy, and black cats. what happens if you get slightly drunk at work every day? four teachers find out in the oscar winner another round.

helmed by celebrated danish director thomas vinterberg, another round stars mads mikkelsen as a dejected history teacher who agrees to join his mates in an experiment. inspired by a theory that modest inebriation increases creativity and opens the mind, they decide to maintain and monitor blood alcohol levels during the day, secretly swigging at school. at first they see some results. lessons definitely get livelier. and when they up the ante, there are laugh out loud moments. look out for a side—splitting scene in the supermarket. but there are of course downsides to the idea and i think another round is best in its contemplative moments pondering on drinking culture, friendship and mental health. nevertheless, compared to other vinterberg films from feston to the hunt, it is a little on the slight side

and i'm still surprised by its success at the bafta film awards and the oscars where it beat powerful international features such as collective and quo vadis, aida. but it's an enjoyable film that's sure to be an art—house crowd pleaser. another round is in cinemas now and there's also a remake in the works with leonardo dicaprio hired to play the lead. whether they call it drunk teachers remains to be seen. 0nto a slasher horror movie with a twist — it's also a body swap comedy. good morning. that's me, millie. boring, ordinary millie. honestly, if this was a horror movie, i'd be one of the first to get killed. like i said... freaky stars catherine newton as millie, a high school student who accidentally trades bodies with a serial killer known as the bliss field butcher who is played by vince vaughn. the switch happens after the butcher has attacked millie,

so when she walks up to school acting very differently to usual, her classmates assume she's in shock rather than a middle age murderer in the body of a teenage girl. meanwhile, millie wakes up as a wanted man in desperate need of a shower and must persuade herfriends to help her. we've got our choreography and our mic. writer—director christopher landen, who wrote four paranormal activity films and directed happy death day among many other things, balances gore and scares with a witty, contemporary take on the body swap genre. the title is a nod to the freaky friday movies which centred on a mother and daughter. but the gender swap allows freaky to look at the different powers wielded by a burly white man and a pretty young woman. even if it spells it all out in ironic capital letters. i want my body back. come and get it. freaky also touches on gender identity and sexuality.

though thankfully it's less like 2002's similarly themed the hot chick and more likejumanji, welcome to thejungle, orjack black was the avatar of a teenage girl. have you ever seen me dressed like that? i mean, i kind of like a lot of what he's doing with it, but the point is you've never see me dressed like that. both vaughn and newton give it their all, with amusing support from misha as her gay paljosh and celeste 0'connor as their woke friend nila, who josh affectionately calls the word police. the result is a slasher comedy that is both nostalgic and contemporary with crossgenerational appeal. the casting of alan ruck, who played ferris bueller�*s best friend, as a bullying teacher, is a nice touch. freaky is in cinemas now. and if you'd rather watch a slasher flick in the safety of your own home, there's an entirely unrelated new trilogy on streaming. fear street part one, 1994 is on netflix now. at music festivals, i've been known to go out of my way to avoid the band idles, having dismissed them as shouty, testosterone fuelled rock.

but a new documentary has made me see them in a different light. # my mother worked 15 hours, five days a week. # my mother worked 16 hours, six days a week. # my mother worked 17 hours, seven days a week. # the best plates... my mum wanted to really be the best mum in the world. she loved me more than anybody else could have in the world. but she didn't love herself. and she ended up dying because of that. don't go gentle, a film about idles, the fortune of eccentric bristolians who have as much sensitive as they do testosterone. it's intriguing juxtaposition that's apparent in their lyrics once you actually listen to them. director mark archer seems more interested in the characters than the process of their songwriting, using candid interviews with individual bandmembers. they won't be able

to repeat any of that. you hear talk of love and loss contrast with footage of them messing about on stage, play fighting and indulging in antics too crude to describe here. white privilege. perhaps it is this very contrast that has attracted such an ardent fan base of women and men. they're called the af gang and they share their feelings and secrets with each other as well as their idles fandom. it felt like i really belonged to something. so while it's far from a perfect music doc, this is an entertaining and thought—provoking study of modern manhood in all its excess and fragility. it's in cinemas now. finally, get your leopard print and your shoulder pads out for lady boss, the jackie collins story. girls, when they leave for school, should be taught that in life they can do anything. i really have a strong belief women can do anything.

girls can do anything. that was her motto. girls can do anything. women can do anything. as much as she was saying that that to everybody else, she was consistently saying that to herself. initially best known as the younger sister of actress joan collins, jackie started penning racy novels in the 60s and became a hugely successful author in the 80s and beyond. i remember books like chances and lucky being passed around on the school bus and we didn't have to search too hard for the naughty bits. but this doc from laura ferry looks beyond the bunk busters, exploring jackie's childhood success with one fabulous secret weapon — joan collins herself. and she said one day i'm going to write a book about all this. and i said i think that's a great idea. because you know, what hollywood is really like. the dynasty star offers up choice anecdotes about jackie's time in hollywood, where she took mental notes on the wild parties that

would form the basis of novels like hollywood wives. excerpts from jackie's diaries paint a portrait of a complicated young woman who was in the shadow of her beautiful sister. while joan speaks affectionately ofjackie, who sadly passed away in 2015, other interviews range from the glowing to the positively snide. archive tv footage shows jackie being beseiged by angry women while defending her position as a feminist who aim to liberate women with erotic fiction. men, as far as i could tell, had it all their own way. ultimately, lady boss is a star—studded fascinating and funny, as you'd expect from a doc about jackie collins, even if it's not quite as hilarious as that french and saunders sketch in the 905. it's in cinemas now. thanks for watching the film review with me, anna smith. mark kermode will be back next week. meantime, stay safe. are you a poet? i work in finance. there is, ifeel, a certain poetry in numbers.

to playing in front of empty stands last season, and they know how to create their own atmosphere, and after that historic win over germany on tuesday, they're ready to go again. it has not been too difficult, really, to refocus people. the opportunity is there. the confidence is there. and the belief. and, yeah, i think they are looking forward to the challenge. i think it is actually good to come away from wembley now. it would have been hard to replicate the atmosphere we had the other day three days later and i think you have a different focus, different surroundings, a different sort of challenge is good for us. ladle sort of challenge is good for us. we had to cracking quarter—finals last night. spain beat switzerland on penalties and italy knocked out belgium, the world's top—ranked side. andy swiss watched the action. on paper, it was the tie of the tournament. belgium versus italy, and it didn't disappoint, as italy

roared into a 2—0 lead. nicolo barella's wasn't bad, but lorenzo insigne's was something else. they were giving the world's top—ranked team the runaround, butjust before the break, belgium were back in it. a penalty coolly converted by romelu lukaku. and come the second half, he really should have equalised. how on earth did that stay out? how on earth did this, as twice, belgium went agonisingly close. but this was to be italy's night. a 2—1 win for them, and on this form, they will take some beating. they now face spain in the semifinals, but only after some scare against switzerland. jordi alba's deflected shot put spain ahead, but after the break, xherdan shaqiri levelled things up. despite having a man sent off, switzerland clung on for a penalty shootout, before their nerve finally cracked. spain sealing a dramatic victory — and didn't they enjoy it? andy swiss, bbc news.

it was a day of disappointment for british players at wimbledon, with andy murray's challenge ending, with defeat to the number ten seed, denis shapovalov, and british number one dan evans also out. our sports correspondent joe wilson reports. friday afternoon at wimbledon, and when you wear the day was heading. kilt to centre court. first, top—ranked british player. dan evans, seeded 22, up against america's sebastian corder at bennett. he is six feet five, with a rooftop reach. tennis is also pace, persistence, touch. evans has all that. one set each. through sets three and four, evans struggled to find his best game, and he knew it and he couldn't hide it. he needed a target. the poor coach. porter's parents were professional tennis players. during that dreams can come true. evans was out, but the hell

was still at full capacity. i mean, who's going to move, when it is you know who? andy murray will never luck commitment or bravery. that is him. that isn't always enough. not against an inspired opponent. commentator: world—class! thea;t against an inspired opponent. commentator: world-class! they gave it eve hinu commentator: world-class! they gave it everything in — commentator: world-class! they gave it everything in the _ commentator: world-class! they gave it everything in the seats. _ commentator: world-class! they gave it everything in the seats. denis - it everything in the seats. denis shapovalov was courageous on court. the canadian's age, 22, seeded 10th. it showed. the roof was closed. it had helped before, not this time. 6-2 had helped before, not this time. 6—2 in the third, straight sets, murray out. he is shapovalov�*s era. the canadian told him at the nat, and perhaps we should remember the two matches murray won this week. be grateful he was here at all. as you might imagine, murray questioned afterwards how much appetite he will have for the sporting future of his body does not allow him to practise and get the matches in that he needs to remain truly competitive. he wasn't happy with the way

he played against shapovalov, but he's not making any decisions yet. i would love to be back here again next year. you know, ijust need to lay everything up —— weigh everything up, and see if everything that i am putting into it is worth, is worth it. these guys are... they are great players. you know, they hit huge balls, and you need to be, you need to be on it. your game needs to be spot on, or mine does, anyway, if i want to compete with them. the tour de france moves into the alps today, pushing the riders further after yesterday's marathon isa—mile stage, which was the longest for 21 years. mark cavendish, won the intermediate sprint, adding to his points on stage seven, and strengthening his grip on the green jersey. slovenia's matej mohoric won by more than a minute to claim his first tour win. while britain's geraint thomas finished in the main group, slipping a place to 13th overall.

mercedes will be hoping they can beat red bull in qualifying for the austrian grand prix this afternoon, after world champion lewis hamilton topped the timesheets in practice yesterday ahead of his team—mate valtteri bottas. the briton was more than two tenths of a second quicker than championship leader max verstappen, who won last weekend's race at the same circuit. as if that is not enough, all of that, you have got the british and irish lions playing the first to imagine south africa, the emirates lions today, warming up for the test. and back at wimbledon, 18—year—old in the body is back on court against kostya. should be another huge day, but is caught number one. in cameron norrie on centre court against roger federer. it is all too much! i do have my heart. ., ., it is all too much! i do have my heart-_ we i it is all too much! i do have my| heart._ we said heart. 0h, go on, then. we said yesterday. _ heart. oh, go on, then. we said yesterday. i— heart. 0h, go on, then. we said yesterday, i didn't _ heart. 0h, go on, then. we said yesterday, i didn't have - heart. 0h, go on, then. we said yesterday, i didn't have a - heart. 0h, go on, then. we said | yesterday, i didn't have a football shirt, i said yesterday, i didn't have a football shirt, isaid i yesterday, i didn't have a football shirt, i said i would get myself hat. i canjust purchased shirt, i said i would get myself hat. i can just purchased there. what we think?— hat. i can just purchased there. what we think? ~ ., ., what we think? well, it has made an early appearance. — what we think? well, it has made an early appearance, is _ what we think? well, it has made an early appearance, is what _ what we think? well, it has made an early appearance, is what i _ what we think? well, it has made an early appearance, is what i think. - early appearance, is what i think. it has _

going on, but your map is not local. as i was asking me that, i was thinking... ha ha. iii as i was asking me that, i was thinking... ha ha.— as i was asking me that, i was thinking... ha ha. if you have got lans thinking... ha ha. if you have got plans evening. — thinking... ha ha. if you have got plans evening, keep _ thinking... ha ha. if you have got plans evening, keep an i thinking... ha ha. if you have got plans evening, keep an eye i thinking... ha ha. if you have got plans evening, keep an eye on i thinking... ha ha. if you have got| plans evening, keep an eye on the storms. —— on the skies. if it looks menacing, get ready to take some shelter. they will be some sunshine, too. we have had a first hurricane of the season in the caribbean developed over the last 21! hours, causing damage and destruction over parts of barbados and saint lucia and hurricane elsa is its name and its track is trying to take it westwards. we will keep a very close eye on this over the next few days. to our shores, we have enough to contend with, lots of cloud spilling northwards at the moment and even though we will see some sunshine and i promise that will be some at times, we have got to keep an eye,

there will be more in the way of showers developing as we go through the weekend, too. how is it looking out there? for some, the weekend, too. how is it looking out there? forsome, pretty the weekend, too. how is it looking out there? for some, pretty wet. rain on and off in wales, midlands, east anglia, drying out for a time being in the south—east with more heavy rain that pushed towards the south—east as we go through the next few hours. where you see the rain, could cause minor flooding, few hours. where you see the rain, could cause minorflooding, heavy downpours with that. that all pushes northwards so after, we will see showers developed. looking at some of the high resolution, spectrally sunshine in between but we have to look across devon and cornwall, a potential line of longer spells of heavy rain where there is a greater risk of flooding through this afternoon and evening. away from the showers, when you do get sunshine, the temperatures will be up into the low 20s, not quite as high as we will see for england's first match.

temperatures here 28 — 29 degrees. it will fit —— will fill muggy. some of them will fade away but a few will continue, particularly through the south and west and northern parts of scotland. muggy with temperatures at around 11! or 15. as we go into tomorrow, there will be sunshine here and there and we will see showers develop widely, some of them heavy with hail and thunder but a few of you will avoid the showers altogether. a bit fresher than today. now it's time for click with spencer kelly and lara lewington.

hey, welcome to click! i hope you're well. for months now, we've been fantasising about places that we can't go to at the moment, stories that we can't cover in person, and the big tech expos that aren't happening in the real world — they've moved online. but not this week! lara, would you care to accompany me to barcelona? absolutely! i've been looking forward to this! now, mobile world congress was one of the first events to be cancelled last year. and this year, despite a few delays, it is actually happening, but we're not heading off to sunny spain. well, not really. but we are gonna be there in spirit, ok? you ready? absolutely! let's do it! all right, let's go. and. . .we've arrived! this is thira, barcelona, and this is mwc. and we're not only here in spirit, but we are here in body too — a robot body! with my face on it! and the good thing is that this robot is connected to the same zoom call as me and you,

so you can ride along pillion. oh, crikey, you're in control. am i in safe hands? absolutely not! so i can look up and down, like that, and i can go left and right, and forward and backwards with the arrow keys. here we go — look, it's working. 0h, left! they're saying left, go left. it's like when someone tries to help you park. and the good thing is do you see that down the bottom of the screen you get a bird's—eye view... ooh, yes — nice! right, that's the bird's—eye view of the bottom of the robot, so hopefully we won'tjust run over someone's feet. it does feel great to be back at a tech show — even if it is inside a tablet that's stuck to the top of a segway — and i guess this

is what we're now calling a hybrid show, with some exhibitors and attendees in barcelona and some online. it looks nice, doesn't it? it looks...mwc looks nice. it does look nice! look at those actual people there! actually there! oh, dear, we've stalled. the connection to mwc is frozen but you're moving normally. meanwhile, while i leave spencer to play the part of a robot — or is it a robot playing the part of spencer? — other machines are also trying to take some work away from us, like creating music. chris fox has been finding out more. 8-bit version of eurovision theme plays. # circus coming to town. # oh oh! # tearing my heart apart. # oh oh! the ai song contest is back for a second year and unlike last year's show, which was eurovision—themed, this year, anything goes. # i feel the wires, i feel the wires. # wires. # my blood flows and my heart breathes. like eurovision, the goal is to create a song that will impress the public and a jury of experts.

# like a bird flying in the sky... but each of the 38 entries had to use some artificial intelligence in the process, whether that was to create lyrics or the melody or even virtual instruments. # can't you tell. # if i could fly. # i'd take you high... that song there was by a group called smorgasborg and if you recognise the pixelated face, that's because it's click�*s very own lj rich, who has entered the contest. so, lj, how do you even get started with creating a song using ai? when i work alone, the music always comes first, the melody, the chords — all of that come first. but when i'm working with other people, i normally feel inspired by their lyrics and so with this, it felt very natural to get the al

to generate some lyrics for me, which is what we did. we used gpt—3. it's incredibly good at generating text. you can do anything from writing a question, and it giving you an answer, to writing a few sentences and itjust completing them. and i wanted to write a dance track. i don't know why, ijust got into my head that eurovision requires a dance track. and so, i put in the following prompt: feel the bass, dance all night, headphones on, smartphone light. and i thought it was gonna come up with a kind of, like, you know, proper dance—type thing. and it returned "walking like a zombie in the dark" as a completion and i thought "hmm! that's really strange and unearthly and odd." once you had your lyrics, how did you turn that into a song? how did you decide whether it was gonna be a ballad or a hanger? it felt naturally that it was falling into a ballad. and when it came to writing your melody, i believe you had a little bit of a helping hand from the chart—topper adele? i mean, kind of! she was the dataset that

i trained an al on to work out where the melody should go next. jukebox ai is a programme that you can run which you can train on particular bands or artists. so adele, i think, is an incredible songwriter. why not train an alon adele and then enter the lyrics in, and see if the music that the machine creates can give me some inspiration as to where to go with the melody. so every three seconds, which would take 12 minutes or so of processing time, i would then say yes, i want option one, and then set it running again. and go brrrrr, ok, i'm gonna choose option two for this. and i would slowly build this melody with the machine that felt like a better fit. # i'll be the one to watch you shine. well, good luck, lj, and everyone else in the competition. public voting has already closed but you can listen

to all the songs at aisongcontest.com and the winner will be revealed onjuly 6th. of course, ever since the invention of the music video, music icons haven'tjust had to think about how their music sounds, but also how it looks. lara: they've sold over 100 million records, are in their fifth decade of performing, and have shared a stage with many a great act. but duran duran have been trying a new type of collaboration — the band's letting artificial intelligence loose on creating the video for their new single, invisible. how is a machine brain going to make a video? how is it going to construct it? how is it going to conceive ideas? how can we feed in enough information to get something valid back? and...then i was

introduced to huxley. huxley is the ai that was trained to get creative. this is where it all starts. the process of making an ai video involves teaching the ai how a human would think. so first of all, you've got to really take a close look at what is going on inside a human's brain, and that can happen right here. it's meg scanner, or a magnetoencephalography scanner, and what it does is it uses really strong magnets to measure very sensitive signals firing in the top part of the brain, known as the cortex, and that's where we think a lot of the information for creativity and things like, other tasks like this are encoded. so if you want to imbue them into ai, we need to first measure them in humans and understand what is going on and then translate

that over to the code. this sort of data was used to teach huxley to interpret what it sees in the same way a human brain would. then images of the band, lyrics and video footage were all put into the system, leaving the al to generate its version of that — creating a collaborative process between the band and the computer. this is what it came outwith, eventually. # you don't hear a word i say... so what did nick make of it? thrilled, astonished, amazed, stunned and bewildered! how was it to work with an ai? i quite like collaborating with an ai, it doesn't answer back as much, for sure, and it doesn't ask very difficult questions. but it does come up with surprising results. i just love the way that some of the thought

processes were working. you didn't understand what on earth it was coming up with sometimes — it became obsessed with dogs for several days, but when it was fed in some information, some keyboards, some imagery of keyboards, nick plays keyboards, it came back with a zebra. now, that's my kind of surrealist game. black and white. yeah, of course, stripes, it makes perfect sense. i think for a bass guitar, it came back with a fish, but actually if you think about it, i suppose, it had been through its dictionary, sea bass. it certainly captured the emotion of the song, but don't you miss being in the actual music video yourself? uh... no, i quite like robotic me, i could send robotic me to do a lot of things, i can tell you. both laugh. we'll make videos with us in them again, of course. it was just thoroughly appealing to do something different. moving forward, is it something that you would want to use again? how do you perceive the future of music videos and ai, for you?

obviously it's a joy to be first with something, because it's nice to... ah, jump off a bridge and realise you can land somewhere with something magical. # we all become invisible... spencer: so sounds like they loved being the first ones to do this, but they won't be doing another one. sounded that way, although nick was very into ai in general, and robots, although he didn't need to try and make this episode of click. which has been challenging! to say the least! trust me, world, we're not the stage yet where driving a bot wirelessly around a crowded trade show is easy or reliable, but we made it, just. and i am ejecting... here we go. ah, welcome back! and as ever you can keep up with the team throughout the week — find us on youtube, instagram, facebook and twitter at @bbcclick.

and don't forget that you can see all the entries for the ai song contest at aisongcontest.com. and a special treat this week, we are going to play out with an acoustic version of lj's ai song. so enjoy this, thanks for watching and we will see you soon. bye bye. # can't you tell, if i could fly, i'd take you high, # i'd give you all the things you need, # to make it through the lonely nights... # i'll be your star, your satellite... that the power of animals to make people feel better. good morning.

welcome to breakfast, with charlie stayt and rachel burden. our headlines today: expectations are high as england bid for a place in the semifinal of the euros for the first time in a quarter of a century. and the manager says his team are fully refocused, for the challenge of ukraine. determined to make sure the win over germany wasn't in vain. it's england's first game away from home, and fans have been told not to travel to rome because of the pandemic. iam i am actually feeling very, very confident about it after seeing all of this around, and seeing all the support that is going on for the teams and all. i support that is going on for the teams and all.— support that is going on for the teams and all. ~ .., teams and all. i feel like something bi is on teams and all. i feel like something big is on the — teams and all. i feel like something big is on the horizon. _ teams and all. i feel like something big is on the horizon. yeah? ii teams and all. i feel like something big is on the horizon. yeah? i feel i big is on the horizon. yeah? i feel like it's coming _ big is on the horizon. yeah? i feel like it's coming home. _ doctors call for measures such as face coverings to be kept in place beyond july 19th, to stop the spread of covid. while they will be some sunshine around at times this weekend, he prepared there is going to be some

big storm clouds around. there could be some torrential rain at times. i will have yourfull be some torrential rain at times. i will have your full forecast here on breakfast. it's saturday the 3rd ofjuly. our top story: excitement is building ahead of england's european football championships clash with ukraine this evening, where a place in the semi—finals is up for grabs. fans have been prevented from travelling to the match in rome amid concern at rising covid infection levels here, but as our sports correspondent natalie pirks reports, there is still a buzz in the italian capital. in the summer heat of rome, tourism is getting back in the swing. legend here says one coin in the fountain means you will return to rome one day. but for a lucky few england fans who live here, their wishes have already been granted. we are lucky, and we feel lucky and we can't wait to go tomorrow, we can't wait. friendsjoe and matt have both lived in rome for more than 15 years and have managed to get tickets. one of the fans that

follows england, ok, constantly, they deserve the ticket more than i do, or more than matt does, ok? but there's nothing we can do about it. ifeel for them, they can rest assured that our voices will be heard. bittersweet, because i was supposed to fly back yesterday for my gran's 100th birthday, but a small compensation is i get to go and see england. happy birthday, grandma! it will be a far cry from these scenes, as more than 40,000 fans spurred england to victory over germany on tuesday. england officially had around 2,000 tickets, but strict rules mean there was no time for fans to get into italy and complete the five—day quarantine. to discourage travel by any means, uefa has now cancelled any tickets held by uk residents, after a request from the italian government. it could be rather lonely in here for england. so far numbers are low,

but as england arrived on friday evening, conviction was high. the confidence is there. and the belief. and i think they are looking forward to the challenge. it's actually, i think it is good to come away from wembley now. it would have been hard to replicate the atmosphere we had the other day three days later, and i think to have a different focus, different surroundings, a different sort of challenge, is good for us. commentator: ukraine have won it! ukraine squeaked into the quarter—finals with a lastgasp winner in extra time against sweden. england are 20 places above them in the world rankings, but discount them at your peril. it's a tough game. you know, after the hype of germany, and we have had a scotland fixture as well, i think to look at this match and dismiss it a little bit and think, well, england should win that, is a dangerous thing. it's tournament football. it is a tough game for england. england have so far been proficient and professional, but have not yet blown the doors open. this italian job will not be easy.

natalie perks, bbc news, rome. let's get more now on the build—up to that all—important game. in a moment we'll speak to sarah rainsford who is in the ukrainian capital kyiv for us this morning. but first, anna holligan is in rome. anna, a huge day for european football in the italian capital? uk—based england fans have been told not to travel, so do we know how many england fans might actually be there? . . many england fans might actually be there? , , ., ., ., , ., there? this is the piazzo del paplo, there? this is the piazzo del paplo, the historic— there? this is the piazzo del paplo, the historic heart _ there? this is the piazzo del paplo, the historic heart of— there? this is the piazzo del paplo, the historic heart of rome, i there? this is the piazzo del paplo, the historic heart of rome, and i there? this is the piazzo del paplo, the historic heart of rome, and of i the historic heart of rome, and of course england are hoping to make history today. but this game will be different because it is their first away from home, if they make it to the semis and the final, it will be the semis and the final, it will be the only one. and the fans, of course, this is actually the fan zone. do we know how many england fans i here? no, actually. there were a few on my plane coming in from the netherlands last night, and of course eu based residents have been able to get tickets. but when they get to the study of olympic

let's ta ke let's take a look at some other news. a group of leading doctors has urged the government to keep some targeted measures in place in england after the 19th ofjuly to help control the spread of coronavirus. the british medical association has expressed alarm at a recent surge in the number of infections, warning it could have a devastating impact on the nhs. simonjones has this report. the vaccination programme continues at pace, and the government is increasingly confident that it can go ahead with its plan to end the lockdown restrictions in england on the 19th ofjuly. the rule of six, limiting the number of people you can meet inside, would go, along with capacity limits in theatres and cinemas. a return to what the prime minister describes as "pretty much life before covid." ministers are now considering allowing people who have been fully vaccinated to avoid having to quarantine after coming into contact with somebody with the virus. but the british medical association is calling for caution, saying that decisions should

not be based on dates, rather than data. we're seeing rocketing rises in infection rates due to the delta variant. so it makes no sense to knowingly continue to see this rocketing of infection rates and not do something about controlling its spread. so what needs to be done is a continuation of some measures to try and prevent the escalation of this bread, while at the same time vaccinating enough of the adult population, including younger people, so that we can achieve control of this infection. the bma says people should have to continue to wear masks on public transport and in shops. and there should be a new campaign encouraging the public to carry on practising social distancing. a government spokesperson said the vaccine rollout is helping to keep the number of deaths and admissions to hospital low, and more details on its plans will be set out shortly.

the aim to remove restrictions cautiously, but irreversibly. simon jones, bbc news. the cabinet officer minister, michael gove, and his wife, journalist sarah vine, are asking for privacy after it was announced they are splitting up after almost 20 years of marriage. our political reporter charlotte rose joins us now. charlotte, in many ways, they are a couple who have high profile, but this is fundamentally a private matter. does it have any greater significance?— matter. does it have any greater siunificance? . ., , , significance? yeah, absolutely. the cou - le significance? yeah, absolutely. the coule are significance? yeah, absolutely. the couple are stressing _ significance? yeah, absolutely. the couple are stressing this _ significance? yeah, absolutely. the couple are stressing this is - significance? yeah, absolutely. the couple are stressing this is a - couple are stressing this is a private — couple are stressing this is a private matter as they announced that they — private matter as they announced that they are separating after 20 years _ that they are separating after 20 years of— that they are separating after 20 years of marriage. they say they remain _ years of marriage. they say they remain good friends and that their priorities— remain good friends and that their priorities on supporting their two children — priorities on supporting their two children a— priorities on supporting their two children. a friend of the power told pa media _ children. a friend of the power told pa media yesterday that it is amicable, and stressed there is no-one — amicable, and stressed there is no—one else involved. that was something _ no—one else involved. that was something that mr gove spokesperson reiterated _ something that mr gove spokesperson reiterated last night, saying that there _ reiterated last night, saying that there is— reiterated last night, saying that there is no—one else involved in the statement — there is no—one else involved in the statement was not being made to try to pre—empt any kind of stories in

are burning across canada, as the country continues to battle a record—breaking heatwave. evacuation orders and alerts have been issued in a dozen communities, while military aircraft have been sent to assist those threatened by the flames. at least one town has been completely destroyed by the fires. monuments and buildings across england will be lit up blue later to mark the founding of the nhs, and the work of its staff during the pandemic. the london eye, liverpool's liver building, as well as a number of vaccination centres will be amongst the places illuminated. a service will also be held for the health workers who lost their lives to the virus. customers could soon be facing empty supermarket shelves and price hikes, because of a shortage of lorry drivers. that's the warning from industry bosses, who say more than 60,000 workers are needed to keep goods moving around britain. our business correspondent dave harvey has been finding out more. it is food on the shelves, drinks on

the shelves, and merchants being full. it is really what it is. if we are not delivering products shops want before lunch that will have a impact on the uk. in want before lunch that will have a impact on the uk.— impact on the uk. in many ways, trucks like _ impact on the uk. in many ways, trucks like these _ impact on the uk. in many ways, trucks like these are _ impact on the uk. in many ways, trucks like these are meant - impact on the uk. in many ways, trucks like these are meant to i impact on the uk. in many ways, i trucks like these are meant to be the lifeblood of our economy. they keep everything moving. right now they are parked up and going nowhere. not that there is a shortage of companies with stuff to move, or indeed, at 150 ground for a cab and a trailer, any shortage of trucks themselves. theyjust can't find enough drivers. one in ten of the somerset firm's lorries are parked up at the moment, costing thousands every day. the industry calculates prison is short of 60,000 lorry drivers. —— britain is short. 15,000 are european drivers who left the country in the last year. through the pandemic a lot of drivers wanted to go home to be closer to their families, and they really, since the effect of brexit, they haven't wanted to come back. they can adjust as much in germany or france, there is no real need to be in the uk. —— earnjust as much.

on top of that, during the pandemic many new drivers could not take their hgv licence test. 30,000 tests were delayed last year. at this family—owned haulage firm near bristol, the boss is out when i arrived, back behind the wheel. and arrived, back behind the wheel. and if it wasn't arrived, back behind the wheel. jifuc if it wasn't for me arrived, back behind the wheel. fific if it wasn't for me doing the interview today i would be driving myself, because it has become the case, mainly, we're both driving weekly. case, mainly, we're both driving weekl . ., , ., .. case, mainly, we're both driving weekl . ., , ., ., , case, mainly, we're both driving weekl. ., , ., ., , , weekly. competition for drivers is fierce. supermarkets _ weekly. competition for drivers is fierce. supermarkets paying - weekly. competition for drivers is l fierce. supermarkets paying double rates to keep their trucks moving. and small firms like this have had to put their wages up to. $5 and small firms like this have had to put their wages up to.- to put their wages up to. as from first ofjune _ to put their wages up to. as from first ofjune this _ to put their wages up to. as from first ofjune this year, _ to put their wages up to. as from first ofjune this year, we - to put their wages up to. as from first ofjune this year, we had - to put their wages up to. as from first ofjune this year, we had to l first ofjune this year, we had to give our drivers, across—the—board, give our drivers, across—the—boa rd, about give our drivers, across—the—board, about a 25% pay increase, which if you think about it, that is a lot of money. we are retaining our drivers and bringing new employees to the company, but we had to make a decision now that we have had to pass that cost, or certainly the drivers' wages element, to the customers, to be able to carry this forward. in customers, to be able to carry this forward. . customers, to be able to carry this forward. , ., , forward. in time, this will all pull u . forward. in time, this will all pull u- rices forward. in time, this will all pull up prices in _ forward. in time, this will all pull up prices in our _ forward. in time, this will all pull up prices in our shops. _ forward. in time, this will all pull up prices in our shops. they - forward. in time, this will all pull| up prices in our shops. they want governments to find new

apprenticeships and training schemes, and ministers insist they are working on that. but it takes several years to learn to drive the big wagon, and britain needs tens of thousands more drivers right now. dave harvey, bbc news. let's speak now to neil carberry from the recruitment and employment confederation, which represents thousands of recruiters across the uk. truck drivers, i think, in many ways, undervalued in this country. it sounds like businesses are desperate to attract new recruits. what is being done to help that cause? ., ., ., , , ., cause? you are absolutely right that the crucial role _ cause? you are absolutely right that the crucial role that _ cause? you are absolutely right that the crucial role that these _ cause? you are absolutely right that the crucial role that these drivers i the crucial role that these drivers deliver in our country and even more so with the amount of investment that has gone into logistics across the uk as we bought more things from home over the last year and the pandemic. there are really two things that we need to do to get this right. the first is, as we were just hearing from your report, we

have got to get the training right, as well as use —— losing some eu drivers and the tests, we also have quite an ageing workforce in the driving sector, so encouraging more people to think about coming in to skills pathways, acknowledging apprenticeships absolutely matter and governments are rightly focused on them, but there are other forms of training that you can do. after all, an apprenticeship is one day a week in college and learning on the job the rest of the time what you can do four days behind the wheel of a truck in your first few months with a haulage company. working with government to get more people to consider driving as a career long—term potential. we are a long way away from self—driving trucks, whatever the companies tell you. but we have a short—term crisis here and this is a big test —— the first big test of the new immigration system. you have taken control of the

immigration system from the whole world, from the uk. we have a committee that makes recommendations about key shortages where we do need to let people in. here is our big test and recruiters and hauliers are looking to government to see what they can do. deferred bit, of course, as we have already heard, they will some wage inflation and i am already hearing of rates being offered in the market.— offered in the market. right, so we're going _ offered in the market. right, so we're going to _ offered in the market. right, so we're going to see _ offered in the market. right, so we're going to see salaries - offered in the market. right, so| we're going to see salaries going up. but the question about immigration, can you clarify for me? at the moment, these drivers are not on the list of professions that the government will let into the country without the same restrictions elsewhere?— without the same restrictions elsewhere? . , ., ., ., elsewhere? that is right, and one of the thins elsewhere? that is right, and one of the things that _ elsewhere? that is right, and one of the things that we _ elsewhere? that is right, and one of the things that we and _ elsewhere? that is right, and one of the things that we and the _ elsewhere? that is right, and one of the things that we and the haulage l the things that we and the haulage association is really keen on is asking the migration advisory committee, the group of economists that the government leans on for advice on this, to consider htv

driving as a skilled role. it takes years to qualify to drive one of these big rigs. to add at least temporarily onto the list and make sure we can get enough people driving trucks and keeping milk on the shelves. it is driving trucks and keeping milk on the shelves-— the shelves. it is interesting that in their statement, _ the shelves. it is interesting that in their statement, the _ the shelves. it is interesting that i in their statement, the government has said that it needs to be driven by industry, they talk about improving pay, work conditions and diversity. i remember during the pandemic there was total lockdown and it meant that the rest of the places that make a lot of the rest places that make a lot of the rest places that make a lot of the rest places that truck drivers rely on were not open and yet they were still required to go around the country and do theirjob. better conditions are key to all of this, aren't they?— conditions are key to all of this, aren't the ? . . , ., aren't they? and generally we are seeinu a aren't they? and generally we are seeing a tightening _ aren't they? and generally we are seeing a tightening of _ aren't they? and generally we are seeing a tightening of our - aren't they? and generally we are seeing a tightening of our labour. seeing a tightening of our labour market at the moment. there are other sectors like it and hospitality that are really struggling and our biggest one is think about what your offer is and it is notjust pay although pay is

clearly very important, it is about the conditions you offer people, how they are working, whether they are working at home or in the office or indeed behind the wheel of a truck and some of the other and if it that companies can offer. i think companies can offer. i think companies need to think very carefully about why staff want to come and work for them and that is something that is happening now. rather than just filling seats for clients, it is advising clients on making sure they are an employer of choice and that is going to become more and more of a theme across these high demand sectors. thank you ve much. these high demand sectors. thank you very much- it — these high demand sectors. thank you very much. it will _ these high demand sectors. thank you very much. it will be _ these high demand sectors. thank you very much. it will be interesting i these high demand sectors. thank you very much. it will be interesting to i very much. it will be interesting to hear from you. very much. it will be interesting to hearfrom you. i very much. it will be interesting to hear from you. i should very much. it will be interesting to hearfrom you. i should 's very much. it will be interesting to hear from you. i should 's a very much. it will be interesting to hearfrom you. i should 's a huge appreciation for lorry drivers out there. they won't necessarily be watching now if they are out on the trucks or preparing to hit the road. how do you attract more people to your profession? you can let us know. it

not worry. but we have to keep an eye because there will be some big storms around and more in the way of showers developing as we go through the weekend. the satellite image shows moving up from the south and west and very little in the way of rates on that. a little swell and a few showers but i mentioned it will start reining in black and. down towards north midlands in east anglia, working northwards through the day. it could drop a few bits of rain in a few spots and something wetter pushing across the south—east. skies are bright and we will see some showers develop, some heavy and thundery, and even across scotland where we spent a good part of the day dry, they will be some showers later. focusing a little bit into south —— wales, the potential of winds coming together and aligning the showers into the band, here they could be flooding problems later. just for one or two, could be as much as 40—80 millimetres falling. it is going to be dry

including at wimbledon. we will see some wet weather this morning but a smaller chance into the afternoon of one or two passing showers impacting play on the outside courts. as we go through the evening and overnight, any plans to watch the football, keep your eye on the skies, they will be some big showers and thunderstorms around. temperatures tonight, not too chilly. mid—teens as we start tomorrow. a fair bit of cloud around and misty in places as we start tomorrow morning but while the sky is bright and we see some shunned —— sunshine, you will see some showers develop. they will be hit and miss stop one or two spots will stay completely dry, could especially around the coasts and temperatures down on today's values. then showers are going to be most likely, the heaviest of which four parts of scotland, a few showers for northern ireland, northern england and northern parts of wales. early showers fade and then it increases

with more persistent rain into the channel islands later on. it will be fresher on monday butjust to give you a bit of a heads up, through monday night into tuesday, a deep low could spread northwards across the country, bringing widespread rain that if you are planning to spend the weekend, you could see gales across parts of england and wales especially. rachel and charlie, back to you both. a message from dave, he said he loved to drive as a kid but facilities at truck stops make this an unappealing job. dirty showers, dirty toilets, if any at all. there has to be some improvement in facilities available. well, let's get more on that story now with gp, dr sarahjarvis, whojoins us from buckinghamshire this morning. morning to you, sarah. good morning. how are you? — morning to you, sarah. good morning. how are you? very _ morning to you, sarah. good morning. how are you? very well— morning to you, sarah. good morning. how are you? very well indeed, i morning to you, sarah. good morning. how are you? very well indeed, thank| how are you? very well indeed, thank ou. as

in hospital. what we do need to bear in hospital. what we do need to bear in mind is it it is possible to catch covid so although you are much less likely to be really ill by it, you could still catch it and therefore pass it on if you have had therefore pass it on if you have had the vaccine. that is why we can't be 100% guaranteed if you are vaccinated but you can be much more confident. latte vaccinated but you can be much more confident. ~ . ~ vaccinated but you can be much more confident. ~ . ,, ., confident. we were talking earlier on about wings — confident. we were talking earlier on about wings coming _ confident. we were talking earlier on about wings coming back- confident. we were talking earlier on about wings coming back to i confident. we were talking earlier- on about wings coming back to normal and a slight dangerous time at the moment because a lot of speculation on the papers about what measures and what might change. one of the ideas that one of the papers today suggested was if you have had both vaccinations, you may not need to self isolate, even if you come into direct contact with someone who has tested positive. again, we are cautious around whether or not this may become policy but what about the thinking around that? the may become policy but what about the thinking around that?— thinking around that? the theory is that now we _ thinking around that? the theory is that now we know _ thinking around that? the theory is that now we know that _ thinking around that? the theory is that now we know that having i thinking around that? the theory is l that now we know that having double vaccination reduces your chance of getting and therefore of passing on

covid, as well as a greatly increased chance of not being seriously ill. the theory is that if we can get people to have a lateral flow tests, and there is a current study going on of about 40,000 people, where they have a lateral flow test every day and that gives them, if you like, a 24—hour passport before they have the next one in which they don't need to self isolate. now, ithink one in which they don't need to self isolate. now, i think that makes a lot more sense than just saying if you are vaccinated you do not need to self isolate at all, because it although the lateral flow test, the rapid tests you do yourself at home, are by no means as accurate as the pcr test, the one you have done either by post and sent to the lad or the one you go into the centre for, they are not as accurate for telling if you are infected, but they are really pretty good for telling if you are infectious. the ideal would be that if you have been vaccinated, you may get it without knowing you have what it or have very mild symptoms but that may mean you will be much less infectious so

keeping hopes afloat on a cruise ship up the manchester ship canal. even if, earlier, luke shaw had nearly had that sinking feeling. ifeel so happy! england! we've just have gone for a nice, quiet boat ride and then all the england team have joined us. yeah, love it! wasn't expecting to get this excited quite so early - but here we are with the team, i so you know, best of luck to them! i was a bit nervous for the germany game but now we beat them as well, i think we can smash ukraine. now, this could be interesting. because harry kane has ended up in the hands of some scotland fans! oh, red card! could they end up having an early bath? no, no, we need him for later! 3—0 ukraine, a zinchenko hat—trick! now, days like this can be a footballing education, and tackling issues such as what the formation should be — teachers at marcus rashford's former primary school at lunch. he's mine, get off him! they play far too defensive, yes. get the three of them out, off

the bench, and get them attacking. ijust wish they'd play marcus rashford. he's a lot taller- than when he was here! it is important for him to do well, the children around here - respect him, and they love seeing him on television. i oh, no, no! look, what's happened? marcus — at his school, as well. have you got any glue or sticky tape? there we go. the physio's been on. there we are. he's ready, he's fit again to play. a little bit nervous, because sometimes you think you're nearly there and itjust slips away from you. they did a cracking job, but you know what, gareth, there's more to be done. there's more to be done, and we're going to see it on saturday, aren't we,

gareth, aren't we, gareth? team talk from the headmistress there. come on england! so, back to media city, and in the shadow of the bbc sport studios, where gary lineker and the team will be introducing the big match on bbc one tonight, where some spent yesterday evening casting an eye on potential final opponents. but hold on. first, there's ukraine, and after so much hype and excitement there can always be a fall. england remember euro 2000 — after beating germany in the group stage, they lost to romania, and went out. going into this quarterfinal, we've got a team that we don't know that well, and i think england sometimes don't always rouse themselves for those occasions where there's not as much history. so i'm wary, but quietly confident. i feel like something big's on the horizon. yeah? i feel like it's coming home. i'm actually feeling very, very confident about it, i after seeing all of- this around and seeing all the support that's i

going on for the team. i think we're going to go all the way and win it. really, how about you? same. pickford's just fallen over, what's your prediction now? oh, no, they're all falling down! what is your prediction now? still confident? no. no, not now! thankfully, the real team are made of sterner stuff than our cutouts, which have been going down fairly easily all day. the actual players know that if can stand up to ukraine, the next stop will be wembley again for the semifinals, and they have no intention of being left behind. and just an injury update on the squad, marcus rashford's arm is fine thanks to the sticky tape, and harry kane —— harry kane has been rescued from the scottish fans, he didn't end up in the manchester ship canal. talking of being on theirtravels, manager gareth southgate believes playing away from wembley could be a positive. the full squad of 26 trained at st george's park yesterday morning, before they flew off to rome. southgate says they know how to create their own atmosphere, after playing in front

of empty stands last season. we go into every game respecting our opposition, but we got to focus on ourselves, mainly, focus on ourselves, mainly, focus on ourselves and our performance, and reach a level which is more than capable of winning the football match. that is the main focus, if we focus on ourselves and make sure the mentality is right, and we make sure that the performance is right, and we give ourselves a great opportunity of going through to the semifinals. we now know half of the semi—final line—up, after two great games last night. spain beat switzerland on penalties, and italy knocked out belgium. andy swiss watched the action. on paper, it was the tie of the tournament. belgium versus italy, and it didn't disappoint, as italy roared into a 2—0 lead. nicolo barella's wasn't bad, but lorenzo insigne's was something else. they were giving the world's top—ranked team the runaround, butjust before the break, belgium were back in it. a penalty coolly converted by romelu lukaku. and come the second half, he really should have equalised.

how on earth did that stay out? how on earth did this, as twice, belgium went agonisingly close. but this was to be italy's night. a 2—1 win for them, and on this form, they will take some beating. they now face spain in the semifinals, but only after some scare against switzerland. jordi alba's deflected shot put spain ahead, but after the break, xherdan shaqiri levelled things up. despite having a man sent off, switzerland clung on for a penalty shootout, before their nerve finally cracked. spain sealing a dramatic victory — and didn't they enjoy it? andy swiss, bbc news. now there was one moment in the italy win, that has engaged fans on social media. thankfully, we haven't seen much play acting at these euros. but what about this? in the build—up to italy's opening goal, striker cheero immobeley

falls down injured. very dramatic. the belguim defence are distracted. but maybe he's hurt? play carries on and teamate borella scores a brilliant goal, but it's the apparent sudden recovery of immobeley that has angered many fans. if we watch the replay, he looks up, realises his team are ahead and any injury seems cured — and some fans are calling for uefa, to look into this with a view to possible retrospective action. so many people getting in touch about this this morning. i think genuine anger about it. it about this this morning. i think genuine anger about it.- genuine anger about it. it has already had — genuine anger about it. it has already had something i genuine anger about it. it has already had something like i genuine anger about it. it has already had something like 5| genuine anger about it. it has already had something like 5 million views. most are full of anger about what happened. views. most are full of anger about what happened-— views. most are full of anger about what happened. well, mark on twitter sa s "until what happened. well, mark on twitter says "until they _ what happened. well, mark on twitter says "until they found _ what happened. well, mark on twitter says "until they found a _ what happened. well, mark on twitter says "until they found a player - what happened. well, mark on twitter says "until they found a player for i says "until they found a player for this it will go on and on, embarrassing. will there be retrospective action? what have you a facade? ., .,' . ., ., a facade? nothing official, nothing from any of _ a facade? nothing official, nothing from any of the — a facade? nothing official, nothing from any of the teams. _ a facade? nothing official, nothing from any of the teams. just i a facade? nothing official, nothing from any of the teams. just fans i from any of the teams. just fans getting involved at the moment. alan scherer called it pathetic on television last night. we will have to watch this want to see whether uefa pick it up and run with it.

seed, denis shapovalov of canada. it was only murray's second tournament in three months, after a groin injury, and although he was pleased to come through it unscathed. he said he needed time on the match court and the practice court, and he'd not really had that. decisions to be made then, but notjust yet. i would love to be back here again next year. you know, ijust need to weigh everything up, and see if everything that i'm putting into it is worth, is worth it. these guys are — they're great players. you know, they hit huge balls, and you need to be, you need to be on it. your game needs to be spot on, or mine does, anyway, if i want to compete with them. and british number one dan evans is also out, beaten in four sets by the american sebastian korda. evans has never made it past round three at wimbledon. there is still british interest in the singles though — cameron norrie is on centre court

today but he has a massive challenge ahead — he's up against the eight—time champion roger federer. and the 18—year—old wildcard emma raducanu faces romania's sorana cirstea. raducanu has been playing with such joy. after stunning the world number 41 marketa vondrousova, she said she just wanted to keep the experience of herfirst grand slam going for as long as possible. she's on court one, at one o'clock. the british and irish lions kick off their tour of south africa today with a warm—up match against the emirates lions injohannesburg. the coronavirus pandemic means there'll be no fans at any of the matches, though, and courtney lawes admits it won't be the same without them. the support that you get, i don't think you get it in any team anywhere else in the world. so obviously we are missing but, it is a massive shame, we have filled up, but the fact is that we have got to make the most of the terms do what we can for the guys at home. that is the first of five matches

few days, isle of wight saw three times their normaljune rainfall. but with below average rainfall again in scotland, after a dry spring, concerns from the scottish environment protection agency about water levels there, river leathers and groundwater, they could do some rain. if of you have had enough of the rain, others desperately need it. there will be some around for many of you it will be in the form of showers and that means from one area to the next can vary quite widely. one or two spots continue to see very little rain at all. the wettest of the conditions most widely are actually through this part of the weekend. this cloud has been working its way northwards and let me show you what has been happening down there. we have the rain pushing and across east anglia, south of it it is turning more showery again but a batch of heavy rain said to push across the far south—east of england over the next few hours. rainfall amounts could locally touch about 30 millimetres

an hour and that could cause some issues through the day. scotland again, largely dry developing a bit widely later but it again means that those rainfall amounts will vary widely. we will see that this afternoon in the south with clusters of showers around and lots of sunshine in between but it is here where they could merge into longer speu where they could merge into longer spell of heavy rain and they could be some minor flooding. spell of heavy rain and they could be some minorflooding. to spell of heavy rain and they could be some minor flooding. to the south and east of that, it should be drier this afternoon with some sunshine 22 and 23 baha'i. there is the chance of one two passing showers. hot and dry over in italy and rome for england's match against ukraine. if you are planning to watch that outdoors, keep an eye on the sky because they will be heavy thunderstorms continuing to rumble on. as we go into tomorrow, after a fairly humid start, it is more of a straightforward mixture of sunshine and showers. many start the day dry,

showers start the day dry and then become heavy with hail and thunder, sunshine in between and one or two spots being dry all day long. the best parts of state —— the best chance of staying dry is somewhere near the coast. let's take a look at this week's newswatch, with samira ahmed. hello and welcome to newswatch with me, samira ahmed. coming up on the programme... if a news organisation is handed classified mod documents found at a bus stop, should it hand them into the authorities? instead this week, the bbc reported on what it had received. some viewers think that was irresponsible. first, political and media attention was focused firmly last weekend on the photograph and then the video of matt hancock and his departmental aid gina coladangelo kissing outside his then office at the department of health.

initially last friday morning, bbc news refrained from reporting on or even mentioning the pictures which had appeared in that morning's edition of the sun. the decision was criticised by some viewers. one, named dave, called in with this. i just want to leave a message regarding the bbc�*s lack of coverage on the sun's breaking news story today, centred around hancock having an affair, breaking the ministerial code. why is this not being reported on the bbc? as the story developed, though, it did receive plenty of coverage on the bbc, including this on saturday evening. the health secretary, matt hancock, resigns after the revelations over him kissing and then embracing a colleague, in breach of covid guidelines. he'd led the government's response to the coronavirus pandemic from the very beginning. alan currie had some sympathy for mr hancock,

writing... ian davidson agreed... others clearly found the revelations about mr hancock a lot more interesting and significant than that, and the following day came another story that would have caused a fewjaws to drop. when hms defender left the ukrainian port of odessa last week, at the start of a journey likely to draw hostile attention from russia, secret documents about its mission were lying in a soggy heap behind a bus stop in kent. the documents show that officials were keenly aware that sailing close to the coast of crimea, which russia annexed in 2014, could cause

an incident. those soggy papers, passed to the bbc by a member of the public, also detailed plans for the uk military in afghanistan, arms exports campaigns and briefing notes for a defence meeting with the us, all very sensitive and confidential stuff, which tim edwards felt should never have been broadcast. graham peck had a similar concern, which he outlined in this video. i was very concerned to see that the bbc,

having been handed the classified military of defence documents found at the bus stop, immediately displayed them in detail to the public on sunday morning, and on bbc tv news in the evening. surely documents marked "secret, uk eyes only" should have been kept out of the public domain and returned to the mod. the actions of your diplomatic correspondents, including those of the tv news editor, well, it seems irresponsible, disloyal, and clearly not in the national interest, and disclosure of classified documents such as these could, in the worst case, endanger the lives of serving royal naval personnel. well, to respond to those points, let's hearfrom jamie angus, the bbc�*s senior controller of news output and commissioning. jamie, how did the bbc come to get the papers? well, as we reported at the time, samira, they were handed in to us by a member of the public who'd found them in this bus stop

in kent, in the rain. and there was clearly a strong public interest in reporting some of the contents of what had been found, but i'd just like to reassure people who've written in that we were extremely careful about what we did and didn't revealfrom this set of documents. we obtained the documents on the thursday and we didn't run any of the content until the sunday, and in the intervening period, we spent a lot of time satisfying ourselves that the documents had genuinely been left and come from the office of a senior ministry of defence official, and indeed, communicating with the ministry of defence to ensure that we weren't reporting anything that could endanger national security. and indeed, the ministry of defence minister, and his emergency statement to the commons on monday, confirmed this, and said that the bbc had behaved responsibly with regards to these documents.

some viewers, as you've heard, clearly feel it was not in the public interest to report on those documents. they even used the word 'disloyal�*. you should have handed them over to the mod, they feel. why didn't you? well, because we're journalism organisation, and it's in our interest to report stories that are in the public interest. so to break this down a little bit, there was a bundle of documents, quite a highly classified document within the bundle, which related to the deployment of hms defender in the crimea area, which had been in the news already that week after the russians had taken an aggressive military stance towards it. and the document demonstrated very clearly that the ministry of defence had thought through quite carefully the potential implications of a number of different potential routes for hms defender. we only published the map which related to the route of hms defender because we were confident that the ship had already passed, the day of the event itself was several days previously, and there was no possibility of any damage to the security

of our defence personnel. but of course, at the time that the bundle was left at the bus stop, it was in fact a day before the deployment. so there was a very, very strong risk to national security posed by the loss of these documents and it was clearly in the public interest to inform the audience of that. it's interesting you say that, because it still seems to many viewers particularly provocative for the bbc to report about that incident off the coast of crimea, because it seemed to contradict what the mod had said about that incident. well, absolutely. it was newsworthy, that incident, our defence correspondent... irresponsible? ..jonathan beale was on board the ship at the time of the, the kind of military activity. and there was a lot of public discussion about the nature of that deployment, and the reasons that the ship had taken that course. and after the event, when there was no further possibility of any risk to the defence personnel on board the ship, it was responsible journalism, i think, to shed light on the discussions that had led to that deployment, and that's what we did in our reporting.

but reputational damage to the mod, that is what concerns viewers. well, i agree there was reputational damage to the mod. there was a very clear failure of security here, and that failure was on behalf of the office of the individual, or the individual who allowed this bunch of documents to be left in a bus stop. this isn't the first time, of course, you'll probably be aware, that something like this has happened. there've been two incidents of secret military papers being left on trains towards waterloo or out of waterloo in the past decade, and in 2008 someone who found them handed them to the bbc�*s frank gardner. is there a protocol at the bbc about what you do when you get such papers handed in? that's right. we have a strong editorial policy and legal framework to deal with these kinds of situations. you're right to point out it's not the first time we've reported this kind of story. clearly we take reasonable steps to ensure, firstly, that the documents are genuine. secondly, to ensure that nothing we would report

would actually put service personnel at risk. this was a mixed bundle of documents, some of the documents were essentially confidential but not classified. but two of the documents were highly classified, relating to the deployment of hms defender, and a further classified document about the security arrangements in afghanistan after the us withdrawal from afghanistan, and the disclosure of that document could have had a very, very serious implications for the security of british defence and diplomatic personnel, and it's important to note that in the bbc�*s reporting, we reveal very very little of the afghanistan document beyond summarising the areas that it covered, for exactly that reason. we did include a screenshot of the front page of that document, printed on pink paper, because this was an important editorial indication to readers that these pink copies of classified papers should not be removed from the ministry of defence, physically, under any circumstances whatsoever.

so that was an important part of the storytelling, but it didn't give away any sensitive or classified information. jamie angus, thanks very much. now, we don't like to repeat ourselves on newswatch, but following last week's discussion about whether the euros football tournament was taking over news bulletins, it would be remiss of us not to mention there were numerous complaints along similar lines this week. while tuesday's defeat by england of germany was the event of the week for many, graham nye had this to say. and it wasn'tjust extra time on football matches which played havoc with

the scheduling of news bulletins this week. on wednesday, another tense match at wimbledon featuring andy murray resulted in changes which left wendy stewart fuming. well, the match ran on through the evening untilio:30pm, leaving huw edwards and the news at ten and its viewers watching and waiting, again. not a problem for lydia, who posted this. but sean thought... wimbledon and the euros continue next week and we haven't even reached the olympics yet. thank you for your comments, though, this week, and if you want to share all your opinions about what you see or hear on bbc news on tv, radio,

online or on social media... that's all from us for now. we'll be back to hear your thoughts about bbc news coverage again next week. goodbye. good morning welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt

and rachel burden. our headlines today: expectations are high as england bid for a place in the semifinal of the euros for the first time in a quarter of a century. and the manager says his team are fully refocused for the challenge of ukraine — determined to make sure the win over germany wasn't in vain. it's england's first game away from home, and fans have been told not to travel to rome because of the pandemic. i'm actually feeling very, very confident about it after seeing all this around and just seeing all the support that's going on for the team. i feel like something big is on the horizon. yeah? i feel it's coming home. doctors call for measures such as face coverings to be kept in place beyond july 19th, to stop the spread of covid. and whilst there will be some sunshine around at times this weekend, he prepared, there's going to be some big storm clouds around, there could be some torrential rain

at times too. i'll have your full forecast here on breakfast. it's saturday the 3rd ofjuly, our top story. injust 12 hours, england's bid to reach a european football championships semifinal will be under way. most m ost fa ns most fans have been prevented from travelling because of coronavirus restrictions. but as our sports correspondent natalie pirks reports, there is still a buzz in the italian capital. in the summer heat of rome, tourism is getting back in the swing. legend here says one coin in the fountain means you'll return to rome one day but for a lucky few england fans who live here, their wishes have already been granted. we are lucky and we feel lucky. we can't wait to go tomorrow, we can't wait!

friendsjoe and matt have both lived in rome for more than 15 years and have managed to get tickets. one of the fans that follows england constantly, they deserve a ticket more than i do or more than matt does, ok? but there's nothing we can do about it. i feel for them. they can rest assured that our voices will be heard. a bit bittersweet for me because i was supposed to fly back yesterday for my gran's 100th birthday today. but a small compensation is i get to see england. but happy birthday, grandma. and now grealish. grealish in! it'll be a far cry from these scenes as more than 40,000 fans spurred england to victory over germany on tuesday. england officially had around 2000 tickets but strict rules mean there was no time for fans to get into italy and complete the five—day quarantine. to discourage travel by any means, uefa has now cancelled any tickets held by uk residents after a request

from the italian government. could be rather lonely in here for england. so, fan numbers are low, then. but, as england arrived friday evening, conviction was high. confidence is there and the belief. i think they're looking forward to the challenge. actually, i think it is good to come away from wembley now. it would have been hard to replicate the atmosphere we had the other day three days later and to have a different focus, different surroundings, different sort of a challenge is good for us. zinchenko! ukraine have won it! ukraine squeaked into the quarterfinals with a last—gasp winner in extra time against sweden. england are 20 places above them in the world rankings but discount them at your peril. it is a tough game. after the hype of germany, we had a scotland fixture as well, to look at this match and dismiss it a little bit and think england could win there is a dangerous thing. it's tournament football. so, it's a tough game for england.

england have so far been efficient and professional but not yet blown the doors off. this italian job will not be easy. let's get more now on the build—up to that all—important game. in a moment we'll speak to sarah rainsford who is in the ukrainian capital kyiv for us this morning. but first, john watson joins us from rome. john, uk—based england fans have been told not to travel. you are one of the lucky ones, following england who are going to be there. forfans, this is like no other game but it remains a massive occasion? it other game but it remains a massive occasion? ., , occasion? it does, indeed. the atmosphere — occasion? it does, indeed. the atmosphere that _ occasion? it does, indeed. the atmosphere that will _ occasion? it does, indeed. the atmosphere that will greet - occasion? it does, indeed. the - atmosphere that will greet england in the stadium later it will be very different than we had with the one experienced over the victory with germany. gareth southgate wants to turn that into a positive. going

back to wembley, it would be a different atmosphere. and he says this could be of benefit to the team. it is very clever what gareth southgate says, turning what people perceive as a negative into a positive. when you consider what this england team have produced, the semifinals at the last world cup, they could be on the brink of reaching semifinals in back to back major tournaments. they are changing the perception is around this team. yes, they got to the semifinals at the last world cup, but can they regularly produce on the biggest stage? that is what england have dared to dream they can do. when you consider what england have done with their setup, the creation of saint george's park all those years ago and greg dyke, the fa chairman who said english of the semifinals of the euro 2020 and they stand on the cusp of that. the younger teams, at

youth level, the under 20 world cup and phil foden was playing in those teams then. there were signs of a building towards the state and now we're waiting to see what england can produce later. i wonder how your are, charlie? i can produce later. i wonder how your are. charlie?— are, charlie? i have no reason to sa this are, charlie? i have no reason to say this whatsoever, _ are, charlie? i have no reason to say this whatsoever, i _ are, charlie? i have no reason to say this whatsoever, i have - are, charlie? i have no reason to say this whatsoever, i have no i say this whatsoever, i have no knowledge of football at all, i am feeling good about it. i willjust put it out there. feeling good about it. i will 'ust put it out therei feeling good about it. i will 'ust put it out there. surely that has chan . ed put it out there. surely that has changed now. _ put it out there. surely that has changed now, though? - put it out there. surely that has changed now, though? what. put it out there. surely that has changed now, though? what do put it out there. surely that has - changed now, though? what do you mean? on changed now, though? what do you mean? 0n the _ changed now, though? what do you mean? on the cusp _ changed now, though? what do you mean? on the cusp of— changed now, though? what do you mean? on the cusp of the _ changed now, though? what do you | mean? on the cusp of the semifinal, our mean? on the cusp of the semifinal, your football— mean? on the cusp of the semifinal, your footballjuices _ mean? on the cusp of the semifinal, your footballjuices start _ mean? on the cusp of the semifinal, your footballjuices start flowing? . your football juices start flowing? i am on board with the project and normally, when we speak to our reporter in a place where our matches, it will either be asking how the fans are and what of the atmosphere? but what about some simple stuff, what is the weather going to be like tonight? is it

going to be like tonight? is it going to be hot? are the italians talking much, i don't know, in the hotel where you are, about this game? it hotel where you are, about this came? . , hotel where you are, about this came? ., , , ., , game? it was interesting last night, with italy progressing. _ game? it was interesting last night, with italy progressing. you - game? it was interesting last night, with italy progressing. you talk - with italy progressing. you talk about major tournaments and fans getting together, there has been none of that in rome. but the car horns, the cheering and from the hotel where we were watching the game, you could get a sense of that. rome, you got a sense there was a buzz around us. that was quite special, i have to say. we talk about gareth southgate ignoring the external factors with regard to the crowds and the lack of england fans in the stadium, i think the heat will be a factor. it was 30 degrees around midday yesterday, so it could be 27 degrees around kick off. but england have a very strong bench so if you need to freshen things up, he can certainly do that.— can certainly do that. good to catch u - , can certainly do that. good to catch u, have can certainly do that. good to catch up. have a — can certainly do that. good to catch up. have a good — can certainly do that. good to catch up, have a good day. _

in ukraine, fans are preparing for their first ever appearance at a european championship quarterfinal. sarah rainsford is in kyiv for us. sarah, there's a real sense of excitement across the city there too? you mentioned st shevchenko, and he said ukraine will play their hearts out tonight. so hopes and dreams for people here in ukraine. ukrainian fans will find it difficult to get to this match but they will be gathering here in kyiv tonight and i have been told there will be thousands of people in front of the big screens in kyiv. a couple of fans are with me this morning, they are already getting into the match. what does this mean to ukraine? this is a historical— what does this mean to ukraine? this is a historical moment. for the first_ is a historical moment. for the first time — is a historical moment. for the first time we are in the quarterfinals and we are planning to .et quarterfinals and we are planning to get to— quarterfinals and we are planning to get to the _ quarterfinals and we are planning to get to the semifinals. but no offence — get to the semifinals. but no offence to you guys, you can let us in. | offence to you guys, you can let us in. ., ., , , ,

in theatres and cinemas, a return to what the prime minister describes as pretty much life before covid. and ministers are now considering allowing people who have been fully vaccinated to avoid having to quarantine after coming into contact with someone with the virus. but the british medical association is calling for caution, saying decisions shouldn't be based on dates rather than data. we are seeing rocketing rises in infection rates due to the delta variant so it makes no sense to knowingly continue to see this rocketing of infection rate and not do something about controlling its spread. what needs to be done is a continuation of some measures to try and prevent the escalation of spread whilst at the same time vaccinating enough of the adult population, including younger people, so that we can achieve control of this infection.

the bma says people should have to continue to wear masks on public transport and in shops. hands, face, space... and there should be a new campaign encouraging the public to carry on practising social distancing. a government spokesperson said the vaccine roll—out is helping to keep the number of deaths and admissions to hospital low, and more details on its plans will be set out shortly. the aim to remove revisions cautiously... but irreversibly. simon jones, bbc news. the cabinet officer minister, michael gove, and his wife — journalist sarah vine — are asking for privacy after it was announced they are splitting up after almost 20 years of marriage. our political reporter charlotte rose, joins us now. charlotte, tell us more. they were married for 20 years and they remain good friends and their priority is

supporting their two children. a friend of the pair are keen to stress that it is amicable and no one else is involved. that was a point reiterated by michael gove paris—macro spokesperson in the evening. the announcement has not come as a complete surprise. sarah vine wrote a column in the mail on sunday last weekend saying the problem with the wife he has no new forever, is she knows you are not master of the universe. she went on to talk about how westminster can push couples a park and how climbing the greasy pole can lead a person to change and want something different from their partner. she said there is nothing that the aphrodisiac of power. it led many to speculate on what she might be alluding to in her own private life. thank you very much. british supermarket chain morrisons

has accepted a takeover bid from the american owner of majestic wines — worth £6. billion pounds. last month, the company rejected an offer of 5.5 billion from a different firm — saying it significantly undervalued the business. the chairman of morrison's, andrew higginson, said the new offer was fair — and the chain would "continue to prosper" under its new owners. more than 100 wildfires are burning across canada, as the country continues to battle a record—breaking heatwave. evacuation orders and alerts have been issued in a dozen communities, while military aircraft have been sent to assist those threatened by the flames. at least one town has been completely destroyed by the fires. monuments and buildings across england will be lit up blue later to mark the founding of the nhs, and the work of its staff during the pandemic. the london eye, liverpool's liver building, as well as a number of vaccination centres will be amongst the places illuminated. a service will also be held for the health workers who lost their lives to the virus. the time now is exactly 8.15.

the cases against two army veterans facing murder charges linked to the troubles have been dropped by prosecutors in northern ireland. it comes after a review of the way evidence was gathered against the veterans, known as soldier f and soldier b. the families of the victims say they will continue to fight for justice. it's a day of devastation. the factjustice has been denied to the people of derry, to the families. highly disappointed. but one point is we will never give up. we will find some way ofjustice in a court of law and all the rest of those who committed the atrocities of bloody sunday. they cannot get away with this and we will not let them. there was 13 people murdered on bloody sunday and further attempts at murder with 15 people. and we can't get one of them into court. you know... there's something wrong here. we can speak now to conservative mp, johnny mercer, who is also a former veterans minister.

james ray, william mckinley, daniel hegarty, killed in circumstances involving british armed forces, but the full circumstances of their deaths will never be heard in open court, what would you say to their families if they were here now? i families if they were here now? i would say, i am deeply sorry for them. i have huge sympathies for the families, if that was my son or daughter, i would feel exactly the same. but we have to accept hard truths about this time in northern ireland. the justice truths about this time in northern ireland. thejustice and what that justice actually looks like it's going to be very, very difficult to attain now. my point is, i want fairness in this process, i don't want veteran's lives ruined and interminably investigated. not at the expense of trying to get to a truth that i think is almost impossible to get to now, 50 years later. and that is because of things

that are our own fault, whether it is the standard of investigation, the evidence gathered at the time, but these are things we would do differently now but stoking the kind of hatred i am seeing today continuing in northern ireland is ever going to lead to peace and reconciliation and the future that we know northern ireland has. should the historic actions _ we know northern ireland has. should the historic actions of _ we know northern ireland has. should the historic actions of british - the historic actions of british troops never be held to account or properly examined? if they are, how do you do it? i properly examined? if they are, how do you do it?— do you do it? i have never said that, i do you do it? i have never said that. l have — do you do it? i have never said that, i have always _ do you do it? i have never said that, i have always been - do you do it? i have never said that, i have always been a - do you do it? i have never said i that, i have always been a strong advocate of holding people to account and whether evidence exists, clearly we should prosecute people. the wilful distortion of that line is quite extraordinary to watch. we clearly now have to look at how we investigate people. this was 50 years ago, people do things very differently now, there will be gather evidence and take statements is very different. this could not happen now, but it doesn't solve how

we address this hurt in the past. there are mechanisms and legacy mechanisms to investigate, how to account where we can i get to the truth for families where we can. but they require a political commitment, an investment that we have not seen from this government all community leaders in northern ireland. i think calm is required on all sides, brutal honesty with families and veterans alike and we have to redouble our efforts to get legacy right so northern ireland can move on. . y ., right so northern ireland can move on. ., , ., ., right so northern ireland can move on. ., i. ., ., ., on. can you tell me more about what those kinds — on. can you tell me more about what those kinds of _ on. can you tell me more about what those kinds of processes _ on. can you tell me more about what those kinds of processes look - on. can you tell me more about what those kinds of processes look like - those kinds of processes look like if it is not something that takes place in a court of law? if if it is not something that takes place in a court of law?- if it is not something that takes place in a court of law? if you look at --eole place in a court of law? if you look at people like _ place in a court of law? if you look at people like john _ place in a court of law? if you look at people like john belcher,, - place in a court of law? if you look at people like john belcher,, he i at people likejohn belcher,, he very cleverly and carefully brought the families with him and put them centre of the process and goes through as much of the information thatis through as much of the information that is available and meet standards and thresholds that will secure a

conviction. where'd that is not possible or wanted by the families, that process is allowed to take place as well. you need to look at prosecutor codes in northern ireland, look at evidential threshold that cover the period of the troubles. the families, i understand where they come from the prosecutors are independent are saying, this evidence exists but it doesn't reach the threshold to make a murder conviction stick. it is a middle ground that is uncomfortable for everyone. politicians have to bleed in the space and not continually stoke division. come out and say that the british army acted with impunity, that didn't happen because the four british soldiers in prison at the time. so this has to stop. prison at the time. so this has to sto -. ., , ., , , , stop. you resigned over this issue but in this case, _ stop. you resigned over this issue but in this case, prosecutions - stop. you resigned over this issue but in this case, prosecutions are | but in this case, prosecutions are not going to happen. do you feel the

people and deal with legacy in northern ireland but it makes no attempt to do so and i am afraid the consequences are there and it is painful for everybody. it is worth readina painful for everybody. it is worth reading out _ painful for everybody. it is worth reading out a — painful for everybody. it is worth reading out a statement - painful for everybody. it is worth reading out a statement from i painful for everybody. it is worth | reading out a statement from the director of public prosecutions in northern ireland. i recognise the decision brings pain to bereaved families. but they reached a conclusion that a reasonable prospect of conviction no longer existed in proceedings against the soldiers and therefore, prosecutions cannot proceed. the time is 8.22. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. you have taken us to the caribbean this morning, now you are taking us to rome? it is a game for later on. the england players will be facing some humid weather. temperatures 20, 20 9 degrees in rome, dropping to around

26 or 27 by the time the match kicks off. a breeze coming in off the mediterranean as well. that is why it is going to be humid. picture the sunshine, picture the warmth, just as i am about to show you. this is shropshire this morning, and a sunshine to be found and very little sunshine to be found and very little sunshine at the moment across the uk. there will be some developing and they will be rain around and indeed, all weekend. the threat of showers will be there with the odd rumble of thunder and flash of lightning possible. not much sunshine around and look from space, lots of clever pushing northwards and it is under that we have several bands of rain pushing north, a swell of cloud across scotland with a few showers in the north. one batch pushing to northern ireland, northern england and into east anglia. heavy rain about to return to east anglia and the south—east over the next few hours. things will dry out and we will see more showers developed. if you get caught by the

showers, they could be heavy in places, drop a lot of rain in a short space of time so a risk of flooding and showers will develop across scotland this afternoon. parts of scotland desperately need rain at the moment but the heaviest will be further south, widespread showers across england and wales this afternoon. and devon, cornwall towards the cotswolds, we will see some of the highest rainfall totals. we will see the sunshine away from the rain. 21 or 22 at wimbledon. chance of a shower this afternoon, the south—east could have a better second half of the day. this evening and overnight come a few showers to begin with and most of those will fade but some will continue to the south and west of england and wales and in the far north of scotland. tonight, temperatures are muggy, in the mid teens as we start tomorrow morning. as for tomorrow, a case of you might be lucky, you might be not. showers will develop throughout the day, we will see some sunshine

here and there and where you get the showers, heavy with hail and thunder and some of you will miss the showers altogether, particularly round the coast. showers fade into monday, but then they return. fading for a time before more persistent rain and cloud arrives in the south—west. the rain will be heavy and it will be accompanied by strengthening winds. word of warning into the start of next week, low pressure could push its way northwards and eastwards across the uk bringing us some unseasonably wet and windy conditions, especially for england and wales. not great news forjuly. rachel, charlie, back to you both. what is the score going to be tonight? that is harsh. 21—macro. —— 2—1. 2-1, to that is harsh. 21—macro. —— 2—1. 2—1, to who?

england. why do you put him on the spot like that. he always does it, rachel. you are harder on him than you are on the politicians. here is a weatherman. he gave us a clear and straightforward answer, didn't he. so what is the score going to be tonight, charlie? i entirely agree with that about the score. i think it is 2—1 and england all scored the first goal and then there will be an equaliser and then it is going to come good. that is what i am saying. charlie will have the magic hat. we agreed we wouldn't do that. i think it will be goalless after 120 minutes and england will win on penalties. ouch. it is 8.26.

it's been a good week for the uk's electric vehicle industry — on thursday, nissan revealed plans to expand its operations in the north—east of england. now, vauxhall�*s parent company is also poised to announce a move to build electric vans at its site in cheshire. so what will this mean forjobs and consumers? let's speak to jim holderfrom what car? magazine. good morning, are you in the mood for giving straight answers to questions this money? absolutely, as lona as ou questions this money? absolutely, as long as you don't _ questions this money? absolutely, as long as you don't ask _ questions this money? absolutely, as long as you don't ask me _ questions this money? absolutely, as long as you don't ask me about - long as you don't ask me about football. ~ , . ~ long as you don't ask me about football. ~ , . ,, ., long as you don't ask me about football. ~ , a ., , ., football. we will stick to your expertise- — football. we will stick to your expertise. what _ football. we will stick to your expertise. what do _ football. we will stick to your expertise. what do you - football. we will stick to your expertise. what do you know| football. we will stick to your - expertise. what do you know about the situation, who said they are poised to announce, what do you know? , ., , ., ., ., , know? they have been in negotiations for a month. — know? they have been in negotiations for a month, the _ know? they have been in negotiations for a month, the future _ know? they have been in negotiations for a month, the future of— know? they have been in negotiations for a month, the future of this - for a month, the future of this factory in ellesmere port has been the subject of debate. we are expecting an announcement next week, we suspect tuesday is the date when they reveal the factory will continue to operate and the thousand jobs will be safeguarded by this transition from building petrol and diesel engined cars into building

electric vans. that is significant because it is part of the market thatis because it is part of the market that is booming and where the market has to move to because this ban in 2030 petrol and diesel cars comes into force. latte 2030 petrol and diesel cars comes into force. ~ ~' ., 2030 petrol and diesel cars comes into force. ~ ~ ., ., , into force. we know that is where the market _ into force. we know that is where the market is _ into force. we know that is where the market is going _ into force. we know that is where the market is going to _ into force. we know that is where the market is going to be - into force. we know that is where the market is going to be and - into force. we know that is where the market is going to be and any decision like a major company like vauxhall will be involved in that. the implication forjobs, but it is notjust the implication forjobs, but it is not just about the the implication forjobs, but it is notjust about thejobs the implication forjobs, but it is not just about the jobs in the plant, it is the supply chains and the knock—on effect? plant, it is the supply chains and the knock-on effect? absolutely. as a rule of thumb, _ the knock-on effect? absolutely. as a rule of thumb, you _ the knock-on effect? absolutely. as a rule of thumb, you can _ the knock-on effect? absolutely. as a rule of thumb, you can multiply. a rule of thumb, you can multiply the number ofjobs in the factory between three and five, how many it creates and generates in the supply chain. but this is new technology and new skills. it helps transition the country's workforce towards the talent that it needs for the future. nissan made their announcement this week, this was about sunderland. it seems there is good news coming out

from what has been very difficult time and the time of great change for car industry? the time and the time of great change for car industry?— for car industry? the car industry has come — for car industry? the car industry has come under _ for car industry? the car industry has come under huge _ for car industry? the car industry has come under huge pressure. i for car industry? the car industry i has come under huge pressure. the for car industry? the car industry - has come under huge pressure. the uk car industry, around 1.3 million vehicles built every year, 80% of which are exported and the value of £44 which are exported and the value of £41; billion to the country. that has been under pressure, partly because of coronavirus and the industry is undergoing seismic change at the moment as it goes on the journey towards electrification. it is important, rememberthis towards electrification. it is important, remember this isjobs important, remember this is jobs saved important, remember this isjobs saved rather than created. and of course, there are 30 car manufacturers in britain and they all need to make this switch. the good news does appear to be coming on that investment appears to be had it with government support. as we go on thisjourney it with government support. as we go on this journey towards 2030, there is a huge amount to be done. people have criticised it for being a goal without a plan, but you can see the bricks falling into place with these announcements this week and

hopefully next week. teiiii announcements this week and hopefully next week.- announcements this week and hopefully next week. tell us more about developments _ hopefully next week. tell us more about developments in _ hopefully next week. tell us more about developments in electric- about developments in electric vehicles more generally. i am assuming the technology and the science is changing very fast? we know the deadlines, that is set in stone, but how quickly are things changing? the vehicles we are looking at now, are they likely to looking at now, are they likely to look substantially different and drive differently in nine years time? appleton i think there is a journey here and what we've seen already from electric vehicles, they tend to double in capability every five to seven years. the double in capability every five to seven years-— double in capability every five to seven ears. , . , ., .., seven years. the price tends to come down about — seven years. the price tends to come down about 20% _ seven years. the price tends to come down about 20% in _ seven years. the price tends to come down about 20% in the _ seven years. the price tends to come down about 20% in the same - seven years. the price tends to come down about 20% in the same time i down about 20% in the same time frames are what we are looking is around the middle of this decade, around the middle of this decade, around 2025, we will be making a decision on electric cars that can do 300-350 decision on electric cars that can do 300—350 miles on a charge, costing exactly the same as a petrol or diesel engine car today and the infrastructure to charge it will be significantly better. by 2030, you

will be looking at that moving on not pushing the range further because most people don't need any more miles than sad but the price will come down and the competitiveness of vehicles will go up. there is no question the whole country to be looking towards an electric vehicle from 2030 is a huge ambition but i would say today from our research around 20% of people could move to an electric vehicle without making significant changes to their lives. by the middle of this decade, probably 50% and by 2030, another huge proportion so we are on a journey and it looks achievable so long as the investment goes into support the scheme. thanks ve much, goes into support the scheme. thanks very much. jim- _ stay with us, sports headlines coming up.

hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and rachel burden. mike is on the sofa because we will

focus our minds for a moment in time, how about that? you could address the england dressing room like that, a soothing masterclass on how to prepare. because that is what england have to do! it is an interesting challenge from being the euphoria of beating germany to sudden you are favourites, massive favourites against a team you don't know so much about, the ukraine, and the mentality and the mental shift is or has been a challenge, iceland, romania, croatia, england, and start when there is hope and expectation. but nobody in the england camp is talking about themselves as out and out favourites.— out favourites. yes, and may be gareth southgate _ out favourites. yes, and may be gareth southgate has _ out favourites. yes, and may be gareth southgate has learnt. i ahead of tonight's game, gareth southgate has to decide whether to keep the same starting line—up that triumphed against germany earlier this week, or make some changes. we're joined now by the former england goalkeeper david james.

for england fans, relieved to see you are wearing your luckyjacket! good morning, thank you! looking red as ever. to cut through the minds of as ever. to cut through the minds of a player, talk about this dangerous thing we have seen in the past with england, going from the fantastic win over germany, the mental shift for a player of them facing an opponent you are expected to beat opponent you are expected to heat but in the past it hasn't worked like that. how prepared do you think this england team are to not make the same mistakes they made against iceland. $5 the same mistakes they made against iceland. �* , �* , ., the same mistakes they made against iceland. a �* , ., iceland. as i've said before, mike, if we looked _ iceland. as i've said before, mike, if we looked at _ iceland. as i've said before, mike, if we looked at the _ iceland. as i've said before, mike, if we looked at the past _ iceland. as i've said before, mike, if we looked at the past is - iceland. as i've said before, mike, if we looked at the past is the - iceland. as i've said before, mike, if we looked at the past is the way | if we looked at the past is the way we go forward, remind not as well enter the competition because we don't win obviously! but i think the euphoria of germany is something they will hold onto because they will want more of that if they can... i say if, but when we get past ukraine to face whoever we face in the semifinal. what happened at wembley and gareth said it, it was a special night and in order to win

the competition, you have to go up and down against different opposition. ukraine will be different opposition to the last match against germany but as i listen to you talk about it, the way gareth and the team are speaking, they know they've got to win the game. i'm not sure charlie is right 0-0 with game. i'm not sure charlie is right 0—0 with penalties, i have a bit more faith and i think it'll be 2—1. we don't want to fall out here! technically, that was not mine, it was rachel that gave the 0—0 prediction, do you want to account for yourself, prediction, do you want to account foryourself, rachel? for yourself, rachel? i think foryourself, rachel? i think the fact england have this incredible defensive record, kept a clean sheet, winner gareth southgate likes to close things down as much as possible and what is at stake means it'll be cagey but i have confidence, weirdly because this is crazy that if it went to penalties england would win. interesting. just for the record, _ england would win. interesting. just for the record, i— england would win. interesting. just for the record, i think _ england would win. interesting. just for the record, i think ukraine - england would win. interesting. just for the record, i think ukraine have | for the record, i think ukraine have kept one clean sheet in the last 15

competitive matches. ok! kept one clean sheet in the last 15 competitive matches.— kept one clean sheet in the last 15 competitive matches. ok! he knows stuff! charlie: that's why you're on! talk about the psychology of the matches. i love the thought of the dressing room before the game, as the guys go out, and as to your point about kg, what is a manager going to say? he will want to give them confidence, will want to give them confidence, will he say play free? what is the phrase, be your own characters out there and go for it? how does it work? what happens in those moments just before? work? what happens in those moments 'ust before? ., , ., ., ., just before? charlie, you are in a deep mood _ just before? charlie, you are in a deep mood this _ just before? charlie, you are in a deep mood this morning! - deep mood this morning! charlie: i love the idea of how... we know they are good and what they're capable of, so how do you make sure they the confidence to go for it was mike you've got to score goals, haven't you! i for it was mike you've got to score goals, haven't you!— goals, haven't you! i suppose that is the best — goals, haven't you! i suppose that is the best way — goals, haven't you! i suppose that is the best way to _ goals, haven't you! i suppose that is the best way to do _ goals, haven't you! i suppose that is the best way to do it! _ goals, haven't you! i suppose that is the best way to do it! what - goals, haven't you! i suppose that is the best way to do it! what i - is the best way to do it! what i like about gareth and what i like

about this england squad is they seem so prepared and even with a big changes they made against germany, it was the right changes, the right result and the bright performance i don't think there will be one of these key speeches going out before these key speeches going out before the game, it'll be more about carry on as we planned, do what you know you're going to do, i am sure there will be changes. i've been looking through the team line—ups, leading up through the team line—ups, leading up to this game and i imagine there will be changes because ukraine have got a different proposition to germany. i think everyone is together which is what i love about this england squad and extends beyond the playing staff. i think they will look at each other and say, come on, let's go out there and do what we know we can do, whether it is ugly or pretty doesn't matter as long as they get through. i think they will need that belief to do this. mike: what changes are you expecting? mike: what changes are you expecting?— mike: what changes are you exectina? ,~ i, ., mike: what changes are you exectina? , . i, ., ., expecting? oh, my crystal ball! i am feelin: expecting? oh, my crystal ball! i am feeling mason _ expecting? oh, my crystal ball! i am feeling mason mount _ expecting? oh, my crystal ball! i am feeling mason mount will _ expecting? oh, my crystal ball! i am feeling mason mount will be - expecting? oh, my crystal ball! i am feeling mason mount will be back. expecting? oh, my crystal ball! i am feeling mason mount will be back onj feeling mason mount will be back on unless you have some injury news i'm

unaware of but i think you will be backin unaware of but i think you will be back in because he has been one of the go to players leading up to the issue with covid—19 and all the precautions i think you will go back in. the defensive line up against germany is exactly what was needed. i was listening to a couple of ukraine fans, one of the guys there seemed quietly confident. again, there are players in this ukraine side who could cause a problem. so, again, mason mount would be my change, if they bring in phil foden as well, that'll be interesting. whoever they play, you know what i'm like, i've got myjacket on, i love the england team, so i shall be happy watching whoever plays. rachel: what about the four person yellow cards gareth southgate has said he will play them rather than save them for the semifinal. do you think that is the right approach? it increases two key midfielders you can't take phillips and damien rice,

can't take phillips and damien rice, can you? can't take phillips and damien rice, can ou? ~ ., can you? when we looked at the german game. _ can you? when we looked at the german game, there _ can you? when we looked at the german game, there was - can you? when we looked at the german game, there was the . german game, there was the opportunity for him to do the same thing. this trust the players have in gareth, the trust gareth has in the players and more bluntly the players have in each other, the fact they stayed on the field, played an exceptional game, of course there is a risk but at the same time you'd rather put your players on, get a yellow card and worry about the following game than try not to put them in that position and end up costing yourself so i'd expect them to play and i'd expect them to play as well as they have done throughout the tournament and look forward to whoever we can play in the semifinal. i'm notjust saying this is a ridiculous england fan, ijust believe so much in this team. rachelcan i ask about the mind games between goalkeeper in the penalty shoot—outs, between those who do the long walk to that place, and we've seen quite a few of those in this championship. when you were there on

the line, and you see the guy walked up the line, and you see the guy walked up to take the kick, what did you do? how did you engage? did you make sure there was eye contact? what was going on? i sure there was eye contact? what was auoin on? ~ , , sure there was eye contact? what was uaoinon? ~ , i, ., sure there was eye contact? what was uaoinon? ~' , i, ., i, ., going on? i kept myself to myself or tried to at least. _ going on? i kept myself to myself or tried to at least. there _ going on? i kept myself to myself or tried to at least. there was - going on? i kept myself to myself or tried to at least. there was a - going on? i kept myself to myself or tried to at least. there was a funny i tried to at least. there was a funny moment in euro 2004 because i'd spoken to the guys before i walked out, they said, he probably goes left so i got to the line and when i was on the line i was trying to point left and right to the guys to find out which way they meant, unfortunately the player put the ball over the bar so there was a bit of mind games inside. after then, though, it didn't go so well. mike: matters away from england, social media has been going crazy overnight with this story about the first italian goal, we will look at what happened. immobile going down, he looks in pain, the belgian defender is distracted, a goal goes in... and then immobile realises italy have scored and he gets up and

the injury is seemingly cured, what do you make about this? there is a lot of angerfrom do you make about this? there is a lot of anger from fans. i do you make about this? there is a lot of anger from fans.— lot of anger from fans. i always put thins in lot of anger from fans. i always put things in the _ lot of anger from fans. i always put things in the context _ lot of anger from fans. i always put things in the context that _ lot of anger from fans. i always put things in the context that if - lot of anger from fans. i always put things in the context that if it - lot of anger from fans. i always put things in the context that if it was i things in the context that if it was one of our players, what would we say? if you're trying to get the penalty, if there was contact, you would excuse him. the one thing i would excuse him. the one thing i would give immobile an excuse for is he ran over quite gingerly. even though he was happy about the girl, there might have been a lingering bit of pain there. kidology, whatever you call it, it was funny. rachel: is that your lucky mascot as well as your lucky jacket?— well as your lucky 'acket? which one? my england — well as your lucky jacket? which one? my england lion _ well as your lucky jacket? which one? my england lion all- well as your lucky jacket? which one? my england lion all the - well as your lucky jacket? which i one? my england lion all the blue ones? we are wearing blue tonight so i put that one in. ones? we are wearing blue tonight so i put that one in-_ i put that one in. other little robots? -- _ i put that one in. other little robots? -- are _ i put that one in. other little robots? -- are they - i put that one in. other little robots? -- are they little - i put that one in. other little - robots? -- are they little robots? robots? —— are they little robots? i've got my it's coming home hat in the studio, which charlie has refused to wear because obviously no

one can touch his hair because it is his superpower. i am going to throw it to make. my it to make. my hair is in the same category! maybe later. i my hair is in the same category! maybe later-— my hair is in the same category! maybe later. i know what mike is like with his _ maybe later. i know what mike is like with his hair. _ like with his hair. rachel: i've never known so many people... to be so vain. charlie: david, can ijust ask, where will you be tonight? where will you be watching?— will you be watching? well, i am workin: will you be watching? well, i am working for— will you be watching? well, i am working for indian _ will you be watching? well, i am working for indian tv _ will you be watching? well, i am working for indian tv so - will you be watching? well, i am working for indian tv so i - will you be watching? well, i am working for indian tv so i will. will you be watching? well, i am working for indian tv so i will be j working for indian tv so i will be watching it at home. i wear my jacket during the game even though i will be doing it from a laptop. and i will be writing down all the notes and cheering, and i won't say... if things don't go right because fortunately things have gone right so far, but i will be very happy sat in my house, and i am still looking for my flag to stick in my car. every shop i've been into, i haven't

seen one so if you know where i can get one, please tell me! mike: a lot of dancing later if england win, i can picture it now! absolutely! rachel: there is actually a national shortage of flags. mike: look, away from the euros, a day of disappointment for the british players. it was a day of disappointment for british players at wimbledon with andy murray's challenge ending with defeat to the number ten seed denis shapovalov and british number one dan evans also out. our sports correspondent joe wilson reports. friday afternoon at wimbledon, and we knew where the day was heading. kilt to centre court. but first, the top—ranked british player. dan evans, seeded 22, up against american sebastian korda at the net. korda's six feet five, with a rooftop reach. but tennis is also pace, persistence, touch. evans has all that. one set each. through sets three and four, evans struggled to find his best game, and he knew it, and he couldn't hide it.

he needed a target — the poor coach. korda's sisters are elite golfers, parents were professional tennis players. genes can come true. evans was out, but the hill was still at full capacity. i mean — who's going to move, when it's you know who? andy murray will never lack commitment or bravery. that is him. that isn't always enough. well, not against an inspired opponent. commentator: oh, world class! they gave it everything in the seats. denis shapovalov was courageous on court. the canadian's aged 22, seeded tenth. it showed. the roof was closed — it had helped before, not this time. 6—2 in the third, straight sets, murray out. but he's shapovalov�*s hero. the canadian told him at the net. and perhaps we should remember the two matches murray won this week, and be grateful he was here at all. joe wilson, bbc news, wimbledon.

in a few minutes we'll be speaking to former british number one john lloyd. i shall, sitting near, ishall, sitting near, charlie. rachel: i think i need to book into your hair parlour. charlie: ifeel your hair parlour. charlie: i feel i am the but of a fewjokes, in the middle of something here. mike: i will be off... mike, you are welcome at any time, nice to see you on the sofa. radiation—proof robots. they may sound like something you'd find in a science fiction movie but researchers believe they could be the answer to the uk's nuclear waste problem. at the moment, the job of clearing the hazardous material is so difficult and dangerous it would take humans 120 years to complete but perhaps that's about to change. our science correspondent, richard westcott, reports.

there's enough nuclear waste in britain to fill wembley stadium. some of it has lain untouched in waterfor decades. if humans cleared it up, it would take 120 years. so, scientists are developing a new generation of intelligent robots to help out. these circuit boards will need to withstand huge levels of radiation so they are testing them in this special room. the entrance is this 1.5 tonne steel and polythene door, which you pull like that and get out of the way and then i have to stop the momentum so it doesn't bounce so much. it's pretty heavy! then we go in the room. i've got the geiger counter but it is very safe, the room isn't being used at the moment and you can hear there is no radiation anywhere. when you come in, there is this blue door here which will open and a beam fires 1.5 billion times the normal number of neutrons at whatever you

put in its path and what that does is recreate really high levels of radiation. and here is the room in action. the white dots are radiation damaging the camera's electronics. building tougher electronics could also help protect our technology from naturally occurring cosmic radiation. it has become a modern problem because electronics are getting smaller, faster and doing more and that means it's getting more interference by these particles so things like driverless cars, electric vehicles, internet technologies from a modern electronic systems, ai systems, machine learning systems, almost anything you can think of in our modern electronic vault is being interfered with by these particles. clearing up our old nuclear waste is one of the most complex and expensive environmental challenges facing. building robots to work where humans can't survive is key.

fascinating stuff! here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. it isa it is a mixed picture, very mixed few days in fact, as i'm about to show you. let's head to the caribbean. last year was one of the busiest hurricane seasons on record, and we are up to the fifth named storm, the quickest we've done that on record, and this is hurricane elsa, bringing devastation to some islands. getting close to jamaica, haiti, and weakening into cuba but the remnants could push into florida and we will have to keep a close eye on where it goes if it gets close to miami or not. back to our shores, it is a changeable weekend, lots of cloud and with it, outbreaks of rain across many parts of the country, where you do see cloud, there could

be showers and thunderstorms to go with them. let's see what's happening outside. the northern half of the country, parts of scotland, desperately in need of rain, which is heading northwards but it'll be on and off across northern ireland, northern england through this morning so heavy burst within it, and elsewhere is the show�*s develop more widely this afternoon, those heavy downpours could become flooding. a few thunderstorms developing across parts of scotland later but parts of northern scotland was stay dry. the showers, more widespread throughout england and wales but we have to keep an eye on what is happening through devon, cornwall, somerset and the cotswolds, some longer spells of rain, where we could see as much as 40-80 rain, where we could see as much as 40—80 millimetres of rain. away from the showers, there should be some sunshine and it'll feel quite warm. wimbledon should be all right this afternoon, a small chance of a shower after this morning's rain. no showers in rome, it is hot, humid

and sunny. if you're watching it outdoors, keep an eye on the sky is because heavy showers into the evening fading tonight for the vast majority and tonight will be quite a humid night with temperatures 14—15. details for sunday, variable because it is a cloudy start, skies brighton, sunshine comes out for many of us, the exception far north of scotland but it'll be hit and miss showers on sunday where you catch some torrential thunderstorms, there will be places that avoid them altogether with sunny spells, cooler than today, and cooler still on monday. showers welcome in scotland, and some windy weather in the south. back to you. you may remember earlier this year we covered the story of max the miracle dog a support animal credited with helping countless people with their mental health. well, now the springer spaniel has

been honoured with a special bronze statue in keswick in the lake district. our reporter alison freeman was at the unveiling. applause. mc: and there he is. he may not be a big dog, but his appeal is huge. as you could tell by the crowds who turned out to see the bronze statue of max unveiled in keswick. to see that statue, and the joy and everybody's face, i tell you, it's just amazing. kerry met the springer spaniel 12 years ago, when he was suffering from severe depression after a car accident. i was having a really tough time and i think max gave me something to talk to. where i wouldn't be judged. i literally took him for a walk one day and sat down and told him how bad things really were, and he just sat there and looked at me and thought, well, let's go. and we've never looked back since then. he's been with mejust about every day since. would you say he's saved your life, then?

yeah, i don't — i wouldn't say that lightly, either. i feel as though max saves lives, you know, not only mine. specifically through the pandemic, they've helped so many people. somebody who has sat on their own or struggled through their own dark times, and the dogs have just thrown light into that. and i think that's what it is, it's hope. more than 250,000 people follow max on his daily walks with patty and harry online. so they've been honoured for their role as ambassadors for the lake district. they've also raised more than £330,000 for charity. how lovely! veronica was one of the many who travelled to see the statue being unveiled, heading over from durham on her birthday. we've watched kerry and the dogs for a long time on facebook. we follow them. and it wasjust about having company and going for a walk with them, through the lakes, and it was lovely. it lifted lockdown. before covid, we have had people

travel from america, australia and all around, who wanted to come see him. i want people to realise what max is like. there's something about max. and i think it's important that we share that with people. you know, he's not my dog, we share him with over 260,000 people online. so people can now scratch the ear of the bronze max, which was made by a local artist. while on a bench made from slate from the nearby mine that sits in hope park. it's there for a reason, as well, in hope park. you know, to give people hope. max is going to he sat looking at catbells, which is one of the very first hills we walked together after my accident. i think it's one of the best cures for mental health, even on your work day, if you can go outside and have a walk, even for 20 minutes, itjust recharges the brain and refreshes the soul, and then you can get back and face things that you thought were a huge problem, and actually, they're not. the £15,000 needed for the statue

was crowdfunded in under two hours, leaving kerry in no doubt about its importance. we get letters and emails and messages and cards from people who, you know, they've said that the dogs have inspired them to do things that they've never done before. the statue itself is a place that i want people to come and be able to sit and enjoy and hope that it inspires others to be kind, be helpful, and treat animals with respect. allison freeman, bbc news, the lake district. they are beautiful dogs! charlie: it has a calming influence just watching them. rachel: as we were saying earlier, andy murray's singles run has come to an end after disappointing night for the two—time champion on centre court.

2005. let's speak now to former british number one and davis cup captain, john lloyd, whojoins us from california. thank you very much and lovely to talk to you there. clearly, he looked really disappointed as he walked off the court but ijust wonder if on reflection given everything he has been through, the injuries, the surgery and return to fitness, or some kind of fitness, whether he will say that was a fairly decent tournament. what do you think? fairly decent tournament. what do ou think? ~ ~ you think? well, i think there were some things _ you think? well, i think there were some things you — you think? well, i think there were some things you will— you think? well, i think there were some things you will be _ you think? well, i think there were some things you will be happy - you think? well, i think there were | some things you will be happy with, obviously that he got through three matches and his body sort of held up. the frustration for andy was he realised there were things in the game yesterday that 56 years ago he would havejust game yesterday that 56 years ago he would have just done game yesterday that 56 years ago he would havejust done better. ——5 or six years ago he would have just done better. but his body cannot practice the amount of hours he needs to to get in the shape he needs to to get in the shape he needs to to get in the shape he needs to be in and you could sense he was frustrated and he has gone back to his team and i think the

whole place now is whether he will be able to in the next few months train the way he wants to, to get back to the level he wants, and if you cannot, i think you will stop. so, it was mixtures of some rays of sunshine but there were some depressing thoughts because to be quite honest five or six years ago someone like denis shapovalov and who is a good player, but the andy murray of five or six years ago would have won last night, and unfortunately he didn't get through. is it right that a lot of it came down to simple things, like not enough power or pace? is he physically capable of getting that back? . , , physically capable of getting that back? ., , , ., back? that is the thing, he is one ofthe back? that is the thing, he is one of the hardest _ back? that is the thing, he is one of the hardest trainers _ back? that is the thing, he is one of the hardest trainers we've - back? that is the thing, he is onej of the hardest trainers we've ever had and his work ethic is ridiculous. but he can only do a certain amount now without his body saying hold on, back off, and that is the problem. he's someone that needs to practise and train a lot yet seep out and the movement that he gets, and you could sense that

his body is not allowing him to do that. so i think is going to go back and think about things. the work that he puts in... it is mind boggling, he never misses a training session, he never misses a rep so how long can you keep doing that when you cannot go out on court and do the best you can because the body isn't allowing you to do it any more? b. isn't allowing you to do it any more? �* . ., , isn't allowing you to do it any more? �* .., , ., isn't allowing you to do it any more? ~ , ., ,, more? a couple of writs still in the sin . les more? a couple of writs still in the singles tournament _ more? a couple of writs still in the singles tournament which - more? a couple of writs still in the singles tournament which we - more? a couple of writs still in the singles tournament which we mustj more? a couple of writs still in the i singles tournament which we must of course give time to. ——a couple of brick. cameron norrie facing roger federer. how on earth as a player do you approach a match like that? it is almost like you need to have some sort of a person in your corner hypnotist to say don't look across the net and think about who you are playing, blank it out because that will be the problem for cameron. it'll be interesting how the crowd

will be in terms of their support because roger is the man, and can is now becoming very popular as a british player that is on his way out. so it is a question of can he handle it? can you think i'm to play a ball that is coming at me but not remember i am playing one of the greatest players of all time. i think it'll be a close match this one. talking about a player on the up one. talking about a player on the up and up, what about the 18—year—old, did you know much about her, wash on your radar? she 18-year-old, did you know much about her, wash on your radar?— her, wash on your radar? she was on m radar her, wash on your radar? she was on my radar and — her, wash on your radar? she was on my radar and l _ her, wash on your radar? she was on my radar and i know _ her, wash on your radar? she was on my radar and i know a _ her, wash on your radar? she was on my radar and i know a lot _ her, wash on your radar? she was on my radar and i know a lot of - her, wash on your radar? she was on my radar and i know a lot of british i my radar and i know a lot of british people in the lga that are very high on how good she is, raducanu, and they told me about this young lady and when i saw her in the last couple of weeks, particularly at wimbledon, it was, like, yes, you

are right, she has got it, and we will see a tremendous amount from this young lady in the future. i think she has a great chance to win today but she isn't fazed by the attention that is going to come, the way she embraces the pressure and i think she will be top ten and who knows she could be a grand slam winner. ,, . , knows she could be a grand slam winner. ,, ., , ,, ., winner. she has the kind of attitude- — winner. she has the kind of attitude. that _ winner. she has the kind of attitude. that would - winner. she has the kind of attitude. that would be - winner. she has the kind of i attitude. that would be quite winner. she has the kind of - attitude. that would be quite the thing! are you following the euros? will there be a bit of californian breakfast football later? i am definitely going _ breakfast football later? i am definitely going to _ breakfast football later? i am definitely going to watch - breakfast football later? i —n definitely going to watch the game later on. but i cannot wait for it. we will win, we will definitely get through tonight, no doubt about it in my mind. you through tonight, no doubt about it in my mind-— through tonight, no doubt about it in m mind. ., ., . ., in my mind. you are the cheerleader cameron norrie _ in my mind. you are the cheerleader cameron norrie needs _ in my mind. you are the cheerleader cameron norrie needs in _ in my mind. you are the cheerleader cameron norrie needs in his- in my mind. you are the cheerleader cameron norrie needs in his ear. - cameron norrie needs in his ear. nice to talk to you. mr; cameron norrie needs in his ear. nice to talk to you. my pleasure, thank you- _ nice to talk to you. my pleasure, thank you- john _ nice to talk to you. my pleasure, thank you. john lloyd _ nice to talk to you. my pleasure, thank you. john lloyd talking - nice to talk to you. my pleasure, thank you. john lloyd talking to i nice to talk to you. my pleasure, i thank you. john lloyd talking to us from california. _ thank you. john lloyd talking to us from california. we _ thank you. john lloyd talking to us from california. we have _ thank you. john lloyd talking to us from california. we have to - thank you. john lloyd talking to us| from california. we have to experts chris smith and linda bauld joining us coming up in a few minutes' time answering your coronavirus

questions. good morning welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and rachel burden. our headlines today: expectations are high as england bid for a place in the semi—final of the euros for the first time in a quarter of a century. manager says his team are fully refocused for the challenge of the ukraine, determined to make sure the win over germany wasn't in vain. it's england's first game away from home, and fans have been told not to travel to rome

because of the pandemic. i'm actually feeling very, very confident about it after seeing all this around and just seeing all the support that's going on for the team. i feel like something big is on the horizon. yeah? i feel it's coming home. doctors call for measures such as face coverings to be kept in place beyond july 19th, to stop the spread of covid. and whilst there will be some sunshine around at times this weekend, he prepared, there's going to be some big storm clouds around, there could be some torrential rain at times too. i'll have your full forecast here on breakfast. it's saturday the 3rd ofjuly, our top story. england's bid to reach a first european football championships semifinal in 25 years gets under way tonight. excitement is growing ahead of the game, which sees gareth southgate's team take on ukraine at the stadio olimpico in rome. most fans have been prevented from travelling to the match

because of coronavirus restrictions, but as our sports correspondent natalie pirks reports, there is still a buzz in the italian capital. in the summer heat of rome, tourism is getting back in the swing. legend here says one coin in the fountain means you'll return to rome one day but for a lucky few england fans who live here, their wishes have already been granted. we are lucky and we feel lucky. we can't wait to go tomorrow, we can't wait! friendsjoe and matt have both lived in rome for more than 15 years and have managed to get tickets. one of the fans that follows england constantly, they deserve a ticket more than i do or more than matt does, ok? but there's nothing we can do about it. i feel for them. they can rest assured that our voices will be heard. a bit bittersweet for me because i was supposed to fly back yesterday for my gran's 100th birthday today. but a small compensation is i get to see england. but happy birthday, grandma. and now grealish. grealish in!

it'll be a far cry from these scenes as more than 40,000 fans spurred england to victory over germany on tuesday. england officially had around 2000 tickets but strict rules mean there was no time for fans to get into italy and complete the five—day quarantine. to discourage travel by any means, uefa has now cancelled any tickets held by uk residents after a request from the italian government. could be rather lonely in here for england. so, fan numbers are low, then. but, as england arrived friday evening, conviction was high. confidence is there and the belief. i think they're looking forward to the challenge. actually, i think it is good to come away from wembley now. it would have been hard to replicate the atmosphere we had the other day three days later and to have a different focus, different surroundings, different sort of a challenge is good for us. zinchenko! ukraine have won it!

ukraine squeaked into the quarterfinals with a last—gasp winner in extra time against sweden. england are 20 places above them in the world rankings but discount them at your peril. it is a tough game. after the hype of germany, we had a scotland fixture as well, to look at this match and dismiss it a little bit and think england could win there is a dangerous thing. it's tournament football. so, it's a tough game for england. england have so far been efficient and professional but not yet blown the doors off. this italian job will not be easy. let's get more now on the build—up to that all—important game. the ukrainian capital kyiv for us this morning. but first, anna holligan joins us from rome. anna, uk based england fans have been told not to travel. but been told not to travel. that doesn't mean there wi any but that doesn't mean there won't be any england fans there? this is the historic part of rome and england

hoping to make history tonight and hope and expectations soaring after the historic win over germany on tuesday. they have just started testing the sound system in the fan zone. they are playing away from wembley for the first time and last time, the semis and the final, providing england will make it that far, it will be back home again. at the stadium there will be strict checks on tickets. people have to show a negative covid test or prove they have been vaccinated and england fans may be asked for proof of residence or when they arrived in the country to try to minimise the spread of covid—19. some lucky fans here who are based in the eu have managed to get a ticket. this is ben and his fiancee, katie. how does it feel to be here because you are

standing here right now 50 many england fans they could be? just standing here right now so many england fans they could be? just so luc . so england fans they could be? just so lucky- so lucky _ england fans they could be? just so lucky- so lucky to — england fans they could be? just so lucky. so lucky to be _ england fans they could be? just so lucky. so lucky to be here _ england fans they could be? just so lucky. so lucky to be here and - lucky. so lucky to be here and hopefully we can represent england in the stadium as best as we can. tell me how you are going to do that? ~ ., ., ., ., ., that? we are going to go overboard on the red and _ that? we are going to go overboard on the red and white _ that? we are going to go overboard on the red and white decorations, l on the red and white decorations, glitter, _ on the red and white decorations, glitter, hairspray and face paint. we won't — glitter, hairspray and face paint. we won't be sightseeing, but we will be looking for anywhere that sells face paint and just represent england. face paint and 'ust represent encland. ~ ., ., . ., face paint and 'ust represent encland. ., ., . ., ., england. what made you decide to do this because — england. what made you decide to do this because you _ england. what made you decide to do this because you are _ england. what made you decide to do this because you are based _ england. what made you decide to do this because you are based in - england. what made you decide to do this because you are based in the - this because you are based in the netherlands? latte this because you are based in the netherlands?— this because you are based in the netherlands? ~ ., ., , . , ., netherlands? we made a snap decision on wednesday — netherlands? we made a snap decision on wednesday night. _ netherlands? we made a snap decision on wednesday night. katie _ netherlands? we made a snap decision on wednesday night. katie was - on wednesday night. katie was reading — on wednesday night. katie was reading the news about how england plans couldn't travel, and we can. we want — plans couldn't travel, and we can. we want to— plans couldn't travel, and we can. we want to represent and support as much as we can so we made it our duty to be here today. presumably ou have duty to be here today. presumably you have learnt _ duty to be here today. presumably you have learnt the _ duty to be here today. presumably you have learnt the words - duty to be here today. presumably you have learnt the words of - you have learnt the words of football is coming home? latte

to lie to you and say the streets are covered in ukrainian flags and fans are flocking into the streets, it is pretty early in the morning, it is pretty early in the morning, it is pretty early in the morning, it is a slow build—up but i have been reliably assured there will be thousands and thousands in the fan zones in kyiv in front of the big screens following the match. like england fans, they are not able to travel to italy. there will be some ukrainian fans who live in italy, who live in the eu he will be there and they will be in full voice. but the crowds here in kyiv are planning and gathering, they had packed out the bars in every match ukraine has played so far in this tournament. it does mean a huge amount to this country. fans have said it is a release, it has been a tough year and obviously a tough few years for ukraine, country he was still at war, seven years of war in ukraine. covid on top of that so football, without making it to light, football

is something to be happy about and cheer about. a slow build, but i think it will be a big name for ukraine whatever happens. and i mentioned england have got a clean sheet, the fans have been telling us they are determined to put an end to that, determined to end england has macro clean sheet. so one goal, they are hoping for ukraine tonight. sarah, thank you very much. a group of leading doctors has urged the government to keep some targeted measures in place in england after the 19th ofjuly to help control the spread of coronavirus. the british medical association has expressed alarm at a recent surge in the number of infections, warning it could have a devastating impact on the nhs. simonjones has this report. the vaccination programme continues at pace, and the government is increasingly confident that it can go ahead with its plan to end the lockdown restrictions in england on the 19th ofjuly. the rule of six, limiting the number of people you can meet inside, would go, along with capacity limits in theatres and cinemas. a return to what the prime minister describes as "pretty much life before covid".

ministers are now considering allowing people who have been fully vaccinated to avoid having to quarantine after coming into contact with somebody with the virus. but the british medical association is calling for caution, saying that decisions should not be based on dates, rather than data. we are seeing rocketing rises in infection rates due to the delta variant. so it makes no sense to knowingly continue to see this rocketing of infection rates and not do something about controlling its spread. so what needs to be done is a continuation of some measures to try to prevent the escalation of this bread, while at the same time vaccinating enough of the adult population, including younger people, so that we can achieve control of this infection. the bma says people should have to continue to wear masks on public transport and in shops.

and there should be a new campaign encouraging the public to carry on practising social distancing. a government spokesperson said the vaccine roll—out is helping to keep the number of deaths and admissions to hospital low, and more details on its plans will be set out shortly. the aim to remove restrictions cautiously, but irreversibly. simon jones, bbc news. the cabinet officer minister, michael gove, and his wife, journalist sarah vine, are asking for privacy after it was announced they are splitting up after almost 20 years of marriage. our political reporter charlotte rose, joins us now. charlotte, they've been a high profile couple for a long time, haven't they. the pairare the pair are stressing this is a private matter. they are separating after 20 years of marriage. they say they are finalising the details of their divorce and their priority is supporting their children. friends

of the player insist it is amicable and there is no one else involved and there is no one else involved and that was a point michael gove's spokesperson last night was keen to stress, the statement had not been put out to pre—empt any stories in the papers this weekend. it is not a huge surprise, column sarah vine wrote for the mail on sunday last week said, wives who have no their husband is a very long time know they are not the master of the universe. she talked about how westminster can drive a wedge between couples. although she was referring to the health secretary matt hancock and his affair with his aid, it raised some eyebrows and lead people to believe she was alluding to something a little bit closer to home.— alluding to something a little bit closer to home. ., ,, , ., , . closer to home. thank you very much, charlotte. british supermarket chain morrisons has accepted a takeover bid from the american owner of majestic wines — worth £6.3 billion. last month, the company rejected an offer of 5.5 billion from a different firm — saying it significantly undervalued the business. the chairman of morrison's, andrew higginson, said

the new offer was fair — and the chain would "continue to prosper" under its new owners. more than 100 wildfires are burning across canada, as the country continues to battle a record—breaking heatwave. evacuation orders and alerts have been issued in a dozen communities, while military aircraft have been sent to assist those threatened by the flames. at least one town has been completely destroyed by the fires. monuments and buildings across england will be lit up blue later to mark the founding of the nhs, and the work of its staff during the pandemic. the london eye, liverpool's liver building, as well as a number of vaccination centres will be amongst the places illuminated. a service will also be held for the health workers who lost their lives to the virus. thank you for being here this morning with us. life is kinda back to normal, the saturday routine is there, kids going to football games but it seems for people in england a

lot of the day will be built around this particular game later on this evening. don't forget, you can watch it on the bbc later, i am pretty sure? can you? yes, you can. how are your nerves? i am reasonably confident. i am particularly confident because david james made the point earlier ukraine have a pretty poor defensive track record. that gives me some hope. david changed was categorical. —— david changed was categorical. —— david james. that was good to hear. there is so much boat around today, keep on top of it all on either bbc five live, and the bbc sport website, we've got wimbledon, british and irish lions. it is the first of their games in south africa. it is lions via the lions

and then the three lines later. the time now is 9.15. if you have something planned for this evening, we will have the weather for you with matter. it's time now to discuss this week's latest coronavirus developments, with our regular saturday panel, virologist dr chris smith and professor of public health, linda bauld. linda, i suspect it won't all be about the football for you tonight in edinburgh? i about the football for you tonight in edinburgh?— about the football for you tonight in edinburgh? i think scotland has had its moment _ in edinburgh? i think scotland has had its moment and _ in edinburgh? i think scotland has had its moment and we _ in edinburgh? i think scotland has had its moment and we are - in edinburgh? i think scotland has. had its moment and we are following it. i am had its moment and we are following it. iam not had its moment and we are following it. i am not following it, had its moment and we are following it. iam not following it, but... yeah, i think there will be some match watching tonight, so fingers crossed for england. herr; match watching tonight, so fingers crossed for england.— crossed for england. very kind of ou to crossed for england. very kind of you to say- _ crossed for england. very kind of you to say- itut — crossed for england. very kind of you to say. but you _ crossed for england. very kind of you to say. but you probably - crossed for england. very kind of| you to say. but you probably have more important matters to get your head around, to be fair. good morning, to you both. linda, can i start with a thought about what we are hearing of the notion that

boosters in september were going to be something that the nhs is being asked to plan for, it is not a categorical decision but the planning is being asked to be put in place. a lot of people thought this was coming, but this will be a significant moment if it does, logistically and in terms of looking ahead about what it will be like in the future?— the future? that is right, two important — the future? that is right, two important developments - the future? that is right, two important developments this | the future? that is right, two - important developments this week. guidance on thejoint important developments this week. guidance on the joint committee of immunisation and vaccination and immunisation and vaccination and immunisation and vaccination and immunisation and a letter to gps from nhs england, which i was looking at yesterday. what they are proposing is we roll out a booster campaign, not for everybody, but the first group will be those who are most vulnerable to this virus, older people and potentially younger people and potentially younger people who are clinically vulnerable. and the second phase will be people over the age of 50 and those who are at risk of covid or influenza. those are the groups

that are eligible for the flu vaccine. those between september and december and also proposing that gps play an important role in that, delivering between 45 and 70% of the boosters. but they are setting up in england, an additional 1000 pharmacy sites. the reason we want to do this for older groups in particular because we don't know how long protection from these vaccine will last. many will have had the second test earlier this year. it is a preventative measure. but it is a huge logistical exercise. we have had gps and others asking questions because gps need to deliver child immunisation and lots of other services and we have this evergreen offer for people who have not had their first or second dose, offer for people who have not had theirfirst or second dose, that they can get it later in the year. all of us are welcoming this, because as we head into the winter we want to use any tool in the tool box to make sure people are protected. box to make sure people are protected-— protected. chris, what is the evidence _

need to think about extra social distancing measures beyond july the 19th. do you think that that is going to be inevitable, some kind of restrictions will be in place beyond that date? ., ., ., restrictions will be in place beyond thatdate? ., ., ., that date? you are asking a really aood that date? you are asking a really good question _ that date? you are asking a really good question and _ that date? you are asking a really good question and everyone - that date? you are asking a really good question and everyone is - that date? you are asking a really - good question and everyone is asking themselves a similar question. they are seeing the infections rising rapidly. at the moment, based on the ons infection survey, in england it is about one in 260 you have the virus and one in 150 in scotland. the government is committed to this complete easing. so there is this disconnect with what is happening with infections and the policy commitments. the reason the government wants to go ahead, there isn't any convincing evidence yet that the vaccines are not working in the way we would have expected, even the way we would have expected, even the face of this variant. the theory is, the more people you have double vaccinated, the more you will weaken the link with hospitalisation and

mortality in the vaccines will add to population immunity. the bma suggests, what they are talking about, is not restrictions and it is important we move away from that word, but behavioural and environmental changes that we might want to hang on to for a bit longer. things like face coverings on public transport, support for businesses to invest in really good ventilation systems in workplaces, access to testing and continued public health information and advice. i think a lot of people in the country would think that those are things we should not throw away and some of them we probably need for the longer term. there is this disconnect, but i'm hoping we can stay on track while recognising it will not be fully back to normal and there will be some of these things we need to or choose to retain.— or choose to retain. chris, the mantra is _ or choose to retain. chris, the mantra is data, _ or choose to retain. chris, the mantra is data, not _ or choose to retain. chris, the mantra is data, not dates, - or choose to retain. chris, the i mantra is data, not dates, what or choose to retain. chris, the - mantra is data, not dates, what are those key market data issues that

measures, between mandating and requiring something and making it voluntary. men example, smoke—free environments do make a difference when businesses had to shift signage and were required to have a smoke—free indoor place, because it was the law compared to it doing voluntarily. in the lead up to that legislation we saw many businesses doing it voluntarily anyway and doing it voluntarily anyway and doing it voluntarily anyway and doing it very well. i think we have the reverse pattern, if government says we are not going to fine you if you don't wear a face covering a public transport, but we strongly recommend that you do, i think there will be behavioural response from the public, which means many people will continue to do that. what i think governments should do is do a risk assessment and say there are the situations, for example, a workplace where they want to make that environment as possible. you may require that and you may inspect it, which i think government should to to support those employers. i am hoping in terms of the basic

behavioural things we have taken up, hand washing, respiratory hygiene, face coverings and going into an environment and saying, is this too crowded? what is my risk assessment? maybe i will go somewhere else. i think people will continue with those behaviours, and it will not only protect them, but it will protect others.— only protect them, but it will protect others. only protect them, but it will rotect others. ., ,, , ., , protect others. thank you both this morninu. protect others. thank you both this morning. chris, _ protect others. thank you both this morning. chris, what— protect others. thank you both this morning. chris, what is— protect others. thank you both this morning. chris, what is the - protect others. thank you both this morning. chris, what is the result i morning. chris, what is the result tonight going to be, everyone is getting asked? i tonight going to be, everyone is getting asked?— tonight going to be, everyone is caettin asked? ., ., ., ., ' getting asked? i am going to go 2-1 for encland getting asked? i am going to go 2-1 for england with _ getting asked? i am going to go 2-1 for england with the _ getting asked? i am going to go 2-1 for england with the first _ getting asked? i am going to go 2-1 for england with the first goal- getting asked? i am going to go 2-1 for england with the first goal in - for england with the first goal in about— for england with the first goal in about the — for england with the first goal in about the 40th minute. i for england with the first goal in about the 40th minute.- for england with the first goal in about the 40th minute. i think that is what i said. _ is what i said. that is the kind of position you want. i that is the kind of position you want. . . that is the kind of position you want. ., ., , . , that is the kind of position you want. ., ., ,. , .,, want. i am a scientist. people exect want. i am a scientist. people expect precision. _ want. i am a scientist. people expect precision. i— want. i am a scientist. people expect precision. iwill- want. i am a scientist. people i expect precision. i will probably want. i am a scientist. people - expect precision. i will probably be proven— expect precision. i will probably be proven wrong. expect precision. i will probably be proven wrong-— proven wrong. linda, can i check with ou proven wrong. linda, can i check with you and _ proven wrong. linda, can i check with you and l — proven wrong. linda, can i check with you and i know— proven wrong. linda, can i check with you and i know you - proven wrong. linda, can i check with you and i know you have - with you and i know you have expressed no interest, but i will ask you anyway? i expressed no interest, but i will ask you anyway?— expressed no interest, but i will ask you anyway? i have no idea, but i will ask you anyway? i have no idea, but iwillsa , ask you anyway? i have no idea, but i will say. you _ ask you anyway? i have no idea, but i will say. you do — ask you anyway? i have no idea, but i will say, you do need _ ask you anyway? i have no idea, but i will say, you do need experts, - ask you anyway? i have no idea, but i will say, you do need experts, but| i will say, you do need experts, but you probably need experts who know

mike: absolutely! iam in the england camp, part of their new flat back four. that was a wonderful viewer, david, who said that in. i have a ball as well. as with england. will they be more attack minded, dribbling through? will this man start, will he be shooting into the net? so many questions for gareth southgate but he's not talking to me this morning, keeping his cards close to chest. ahead of tonight's big game in rome, and with fans in england unable to travel to italy, we wanted to make sure the players and supporters stay connected and so to gauge the mood and confidence of fans, i took these players on a little tour. # it's coming home... while the team continue theirjourney in rome, we are making sure the fans still feel the presence back home. the formation of our paper—thin squad may be a bit rigid, but on their tour from our studios in media city, they certainly

stirred the passion of fans. # it's coming home, it's coming home...# england, england! ensuring the bond stays strong. come on, england! keeping hopes afloat on a cruise ship up the manchester ship canal. even if, earlier, luke shaw had nearly had that sinking feeling. ifeel so happy! england! we've just have gone for a nice, quiet boat ride and then all the england team have joined us. yeah, love it! wasn't expecting to get this excited quite so early - but here we are with the team, - so you know, best of luck to them! i was a bit nervous for the germany game but now we beat them as well, i think we can smash ukraine. now, this could be interesting. because harry kane has ended up in the hands of some scotland fans! 0h, red card! could they end up having an early bath? no, no, we need him for later!

3—0 ukraine, a zinchenko hat—trick! now, days like this can be a footballing education, and tackling issues such as what the formation should be — teachers at marcus rashford's former primary school at lunch. he's mine, get off him! they play far too defensive, yes. get the three of them out, off the bench, and get them attacking. i just wish they'd play marcus rashford. he's a lot taller- than when he was here! it is important for him to do well, the children around here - respect him, and they love seeing him on television. i oh, no, no! look, what's happened? marcus — at his school, as well. have you got any glue or sticky tape? there we go. the physio's been on. there we are. he's ready, he's fit again to play. a little bit nervous,

because sometimes you think you're nearly there and itjust slips away from you. they did a cracking job, but you know what, gareth, there's more to be done. there's more to be done, and we're going to see it on saturday, aren't we, gareth, aren't we, gareth? team talk from the headmistress there. all: come on england! so, back to media city, and in the shadow of the bbc sport studios, where gary lineker and the team will be introducing the big match on bbc one tonight, where some spent yesterday evening casting an eye on potential final opponents. but hold on. first, there's ukraine, and after so much hype and excitement there can always be a fall. england remember euro 2000 — after beating germany in the group stage, they lost to romania, and went out. going into this quarterfinal, we've got a team that we don't know that well, and i think england sometimes don't always rouse themselves for those occasions where there's not as much history. so i'm wary, but quietly confident. i feel like something big's on the horizon. yeah?

i feel like it's coming home. i'm actually feeling very, very confident about it, i after seeing all of this around i and seeing all the support that's going on for the team. i think we're going to go all the way and win it. really, how about you? same. pickford's just fallen over, what's your prediction now? oh, no, they're all falling down! what is your prediction now? still confident? no. no, not now! thankfully, the real team are made of sterner stuff than our cutouts, which have been going down fairly easily all day. the actual players know that if can stand up to ukraine, the next stop will be wembley again for the semifinals, and they have no intention of being left behind. tell you what, anyone who knows me will be amazed that all the squad came back in one piece, didn't lose any, apart from the incident with marcus rashford's armour, and he is fixed and found to carry on.

talking of being on their travels, manager gareth southgate believes playing away from wembley could be a positive and the players got used to playing in front of empty stands last season, so they know how to create their own atmosphere. he says after that historic win over germany on tuesday, they're ready to go again. it hasn't been too difficult, really, to refocus people. the opportunity�*s there. the confidence is there. and the belief. and, yeah, i think they are looking forward to the challenge. i think it's actually good to come away from wembley now. it would've been hard to replicate the atmosphere we had the other day three days later and i think you have a different focus, different surroundings, a different sort of challenge is good for us. let's speak now to our correspondent, john watson, who's joins us from rome. he is with the real team in italy. mr southgate, gareth has been saying he is adamant his plan and his team focused meant he he is adamant his plan and his team focused meant be affected by anything but to make big differences

tonight. obviously, the lack of a crowd, and secondly the heat and humidity on a rome evening. it is classic gareth _ humidity on a rome evening. it 3 classic gareth southgate. he seems to be able to turn a perceived negative into a positive and his thinking is after the brilliant success at wembley cheered on by 40,000 fans —— success at wembley cheered on by 40,000 fans -- 4000 success at wembley cheered on by 40,000 fans —— 4000 fans, they will be able to play here. it would be difficult to replicate the atmosphere so he feels it is a good way to keep that momentum going, experiencing something new, and it keeps the team moving forward which is something he is keen to stress. it will be different no doubt considering it is a different stadium, the first time they've played away from home, in front of less spectators, a very small number will be english fans. and they were content with the heat as well. they didn't have these conditions at

wembley the other evening. it could be 28-29 wembley the other evening. it could be 28—29 at 8pm. it'll be different but worth pointing out the one thing england have to their advantage in comparison to ukraine is the strength on the bench and were things to tire and fatigue, after a long season domestically, gareth southgate has real matchwinners he could turn to if he needs to to perhaps get a goal in tonight. briefly, david james told us earlier he thought there would be changes with mason mount perhaps coming in. any clues as to any team news? yes. any clues as to any team news? yes, interesting. _ any clues as to any team news? yes, interesting. he — any clues as to any team news? yes, interesting, he played _ any clues as to any team news? is: interesting, he played wing backs against germany so he might revert to the 4—3— three again. one doubt surrounds sako, and we could see mason mount coming, and it is interesting talking bout saka. any talk of injuries and it would be panic stations, everyone would be

fearing the worst, almost a disaster but not now because you can see in their squad doesn't matter if someone drops out, they have the players to come and which is different from previous england squads at major tournaments. yes. squads at ma'or tournaments. yes, and five squads at major tournaments. yes, and five substitutes _ squads at major tournaments. yes, and five substitutes as _ squads at major tournaments. yes, and five substitutes as well, so much strength and depth. thanks, john. we already know one half of the semifinal line—up. italy went through with a 2—1 victory over belgium, the world's top—ranked side. but there was controversy in the build up to italy's opening goal. striker immobile falls down injured, play carries on and teammate nicolo borella scores, prompting the apparent sudden recovery of immobile. their second goal came before half time was a stunning strike from lorenzo insignia. it finished 2—1. and they'll face spain in the semi—finals after they beat switzerland. denis bavaria deflected jordi alba's shot into his own net to give spain an early lead. switzerland were level before half time, thanks to liverpool's shaqiri. it went to penalties and spain won it 3—1.

mikel oyarzabal the man, they call big foot, with the size 13 boots, scoring the winner. so to wimbledon, andy murray says he needs to consider whether all the hard work is worth it, after his comeback, was ended in the third round. following two encouraging wins, he lost in straight sets to the tenth seed, denis shapovalov of canada. it was only murray's second tournament in three months after a groin injury, and although he was pleased to come through it unscathed, he said he needed time on the match court and the practice court, and he'd not really had that. decisions to be made then, but notjust yet. and british number one dan evans, is also out, beaten in four sets by the american sebastian korda. evans has never made it past, round three at wimbledon. there is still british interest in the singles though. cameron norrie is on centre court today but he has a massive challenge ahead — he's up against the eight—time champion roger federer. and the 18—year—old wild card emma raducanu, faces romania's sorana cirstea. raducanu says she just wants to keep the experience

of her first grand slam going for as long as possible. she's on court one at one o'clock. follow it on the bbc of course. the british and irish lions kick off their tour of south africa today with a warm up match against the emirates lions in johannesburg. the coronavirus pandemic means there'll be no fans at any of the matches though and courtney lawes, admits it won't be the same without them. the support you get from the lions fans, i don't think you get it in any team anywhere else in the world. obviously, we're missing that and it is a massive shame and we feel that. but the fact is, we've got to make the most of it and do what we can for the guys at home. they are on the move, he is telling me time to stop, as he considers the team selection. rachel: bit like being looked at by your teacher. mike: bit like an episode of dr who,

suddenly he there giving me a dressing down. rachel: enjoy the game today, mike. mike: enjoy is one word! it is never an easy watch whatever team you support. charlie: thanks very much, the time is 9:44am. american troops have pulled out of their main military base in afghanistan after almost two decades. the full withdrawal of us soldiers from the country is expected later this month but it comes at a time of increased tensions in afghanistan. let's get reaction now from the former head of the british army, lord dannatt. very good morning to you. thank you for your time this morning. this is a symbolic move but it is also bringing with it practical implications.— bringing with it practical imlications. ~ , , , implications. well, yes. president biden decided _ implications. well, yes. president biden decided after— implications. well, yes. president biden decided after 20 _ implications. well, yes. president biden decided after 20 years - implications. well, yes. president biden decided after 20 years of i biden decided after 20 years of engagement in afghanistan the time had come for us forces to leave and us forces were the backbone of the international efforts once the americans made the decision, frankly the rest of us have to follow suit.

but i think we mustn't overlook that much has been achieved in afghanistan over 20 years. of course, the initial objective was achieved quickly, kicking out al-qaeda supported by the taliban, bearing in mind they had carried out the attacks in new york and washington back in 911. and over the last 20 is what we try to do is give the afghan people the choice between reversing to life under the pretty awful regime of the attallah ban in place until 9/11 or adopting a more modern lifestyle and many parts of the country are adapting that but the country are adapting that but the struggle continues and we are now handing the struggle to the afghan security forces and we wish them well. ., , afghan security forces and we wish them well. ., .., , ., afghan security forces and we wish them well. ., , ., ~ them well. how capable do you think them well. how capable do you think the are of them well. how capable do you think they are of picking _ them well. how capable do you think they are of picking up _ them well. how capable do you think they are of picking up that _ them well. how capable do you think they are of picking up that mantle? l they are of picking up that mantle? a lot of time, effort and money has gone into training the army and the

police over the last 10—15 years and they are pretty capable now but they've also always enjoyed the support of international forces, air power from above support of international forces, air powerfrom above in particular, and they will be feeling a sense of betrayal is probably too strong a word but the moral support we've given them has gone. so, their will to go on fighting will be severely tested and what we are seeing at the present moment in rural areas district after district has fallen, but in kabul and the city areas, the elected government and its forces are still controlling matters, and they are controlling about three quarters of the country. the other point the taliban have to deal with is their battle cry was to free their country ofjudaeo—christian their country of judaeo—christian forces who their country ofjudaeo—christian forces who are there as invaders, as they liked to try to betray us. now we have gone, they have got a

different fight on their hands which is where it comes down to the will of the afghan people. do they want to fall back under the oppressive regime of the attallah ban or do they want to live a moderate and better life we have introduced to them, particularly forwomen better life we have introduced to them, particularly for women and girls getting educated, women having a better place in afghan society, all those have been established which is where the real fight will be now within afghanistan for the sort of life they want to lead in the future. has sort of life they want to lead in the future-— sort of life they want to lead in the future. ~ , , ., ., . sort of life they want to lead in the future. ~ , i. ., . ., the future. as you made reference to a moment ago. _ the future. as you made reference to a moment ago. any _ the future. as you made reference to a moment ago, any deployment - the future. as you made reference to a moment ago, any deployment of i a moment ago, any deployment of troops, and it has been a long time for us troops and other nationalities as well, is a very big political decision. is there a danger do you think this decision has been made by the us to withdraw troops coming at precisely the wrong time given what you were saying about the attallah ban and how they are making progress in some areas? the decision has been made that military forces will be withdrawn. but that is a different decision to

the overall strategic intention to go on supporting afghanistan. and i think countries like the uk, particularly as we are fixed to this global britain bumper sticker, we will go on supporting the afghan people, supporting their government and economy and doing our best to help that country to find a proper place in the family of nations and we owe it to ourselves, to the 456 families who lost their loved ones in afghanistan certainly with the british armed forces. we must go on and continue to help the afghan people live a better life. it is their fight now but we need to go on supporting them in the best way we can even if we are not their shoulder to shoulder on the battlefield animal.- shoulder to shoulder on the battlefield animal. thank you very much for your— battlefield animal. thank you very much for your time _ battlefield animal. thank you very much for your time this _ battlefield animal. thank you very much for your time this morning. | much for your time this morning. time to take a look at the weather, a mixed picture around the country although it looks pretty nice there right now!

this was yesterday across parts of western scotland but what this should be is a river that is a little bit higher than it is at the moment with a view concerns across parts of scotland due to the lack of recent rainfall, a dry spring, a dry june and loch ness is at its lowest level in five years with certain parts of scotland having to reduce water consumption, as well as rivers and reservoirs start to run lower and reservoirs start to run lower and ground water has dropped to. while there is rain in the forecast through this weekend with plenty of showers around, showers by their nature means rainfall totals will vary wildly from one spot to another so no guarantee we'll see enough rain in parts of scotland at the moment. take a look at what is happening out there right now, cloud pushing northwards, you can see it here, and underneath it some of the wettest conditions will be across north—west england, this zone has been developing and moving northwards but batches of rain

working northwards and eastwards, largely dry across scotland, a few showers in the north—east but heavy showers in the north—east but heavy showers developing later in showers developing to the south of the main rain zone and where you see downpours, apter 30 millimetres in the space of an hour, could cause problems and potentially of more concern we could see those showers line up across parts of devon, cornwall, somerset, cotswolds going through into the afternoon and evening which could again cause some issues with flooding. either side of it, orsunshine issues with flooding. either side of it, or sunshine around than we have seen this morning, lifting temperatures widely into the high teens and low 20s, feeling humid which is the case in the wimbledon area. there will be a lot of dry weather in the southeast with a small risk of a passing shower and overall lots of play later. showers continue for some in the evening, it remains heavy in the southern coasts, a little bit in scotland but

not widespread rainfall that is needed. temperatures in the mid teens. a mild start to sunday, a bright start, a better one than this morning but some heavy showers in the south developing more widely into the afternoon, some will avoid the showers altogether, staying dry with sunny spells with temperatures creeping into the low 20s. we see those showers which could be torrential. monday, rain and showers across the north, brighterfor a time in the south but we are set to see another batch of wet and increasingly windy but weather arrive later on monday which could cause us some problems on monday night. details on that tomorrow. back to you both. time now is 951. the hard work and selflessness of volunteers has been one of the pandemic. and tomorrow, their hard work will be celebrated as part of a special thank you day. the cheers for volunteers campaign

is being led by ross kemp, who was himself inspired to give his time during the pandemic. let's take a look. how much of your own time are you actually dedicating to this? it's a full—time job, really. you could do 40 hours a week easily. i'll be doing this until it's needed to be done. if it takes me three, four, five months i've got to carry on doing this, i will be doing it. ross, we need to get a move on, mate. we've got a delivery... it's got to go out to the air ambulance, so if we can get a move on, that would be great. all right. you're doing a greatjob. cheers, mate. only another thousand to do. so how many have you made so far? we have made in excess of 13,000 now. - 13,000! 13,000 and still going strong. we had an order put _ in by reading borough council, who want 7000 a month. so that's our goal, to try and keepl up with the demand at the minute. and rossjoins us now.

have focused a bit more on their own lives and getting back to however they perceive normality which is understandable but we don't want to forget the amazing work that has been done and continues to be done. absolutely. i went to one street in high wycombe were about 10% of people on that road knew each other and by the end of the first lockdown they all knew each other and they all relied on each other. and we got 4 million official volunteers and we might need them again if there is another roll—out but also what happened on that street was important because people had ever only said good morning or good evening but now they were knocking on the door of people who they suspected that the vulnerable and asking how they were. we know people have suffered physically but also people have suffered with mental health issues and will possibly continue to suffer with mental health issues and if you can go over to check on someone, you cannot quantify the difference that can make to someone's day and their mental health.—
