injapan after a landslide sent mud cascading down a hillside smashing into homes and sweeping away cars. the un warns that eight months of fighting in ethiopia's tigray region has left nearly two million people on the brink of famine. britain's main doctors�* union urges the government to keep some measures in place after the 19th ofjuly when all covid restrictions are due to be removed. plus, how a 14—year—old's girl's quarantine art has attracted the attention of one of the world's top art galleries. hello and welcome if you re watching in the uk or around the world. anticipation is building ahead of england's euro 2020 quarter—final clash with ukraine this evening, where a place in the

semi—finals is up for grabs. fans from the uk have been prevented from travelling to the match in rome, amid concern at rising coronavirus infection levels. but as our sports correspondent natalie pirks reports, there is still a buzz in italy's 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, 0k? 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. 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 quarter—finals 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. natalie pirks, bbc news. let's go to anna holligan in rome. is the atmosphere building?- anna holligan in rome. is the atmosphere building? yes, this is the historic— atmosphere building? yes, this is the historic part _ atmosphere building? yes, this is the historic part of _ atmosphere building? yes, this is the historic part of rome -

atmosphere building? yes, this is the historic part of rome and - the historic part of rome and england are hoping to make history here today and hopes and expectations are still soaring after the triumph over germany. but a few things will be slightly different tonight. first of all, england playing away from home and as you will notice around me, distinct absence of england fans, so there are a few here who have managed to travel who are based inside the eu. everyone going to the stadium will have to show proof of residence, prove they have tested negative for covid or had a full vaccination. we are expecting the czechs at the stadium to be very strict but we have heard from gareth southgate and he thinks this could work in england's favour because nothing was going to beat the victory on tuesday in terms of atmosphere in the stadium. there is an added incentive, if they manage to win the game tonight, they will be taking

the semifinal home to wembley. so everything to play for here in rome. in terms of the crowd, 2000 tickets for england fans, what about ukraine and who are the italian is likely to support? and who are the italian is likely to su ort? . , and who are the italian is likely to su ort? ., ,., , and who are the italian is likely to su-nort? ., , , support? that is a very interesting cuestion. support? that is a very interesting question. most _ support? that is a very interesting question. most of— support? that is a very interesting question. most of the _ support? that is a very interesting question. most of the italians - support? that is a very interesting| question. most of the italians here are still on a high from last night. that is possibly why this village is still rather quiet. the sound system is going, five aside football games and table football. it is all building up. we have spoken to a few england fans, some who have travelled from the netherlands and it is thought some might try to get in in other ways but there will be strict checks at the gate. they will be conscious that back home in the uk they will be cheering and in the stadium, we could be looking at the two teams from the final, italy and

the england. what they are most concerned about if the final does take place at wembley, they will face the same restrictions so italians travelling to the uk might struggle. it will be italy —based fans who can enter the stadium or people from across the eu who can travel, but they will have to show those documents. and given the scale of what england have achieved, also the ukraine, going further than ever, gareth southgate is likely to play another cautious game? unless they start losing goals. in terms of statistics, england have yet to concede a goal in this competition and of their previous seven meetings, ukraine have only won one of them. three lines behind me, but you can only see two of them. it is hoped that england will be bringing football home tonight. it is a

hoped that england will be bringing football home tonight.— football home tonight. it is a sign, those lines- _ let's speak to and england fan in rome, joel phillips from doncaster, who lives in hamburg and has got a ticket for the game tonight. how did you get the ticket, first of all? to how did you get the ticket, first of all? ., , ., , .,, how did you get the ticket, first of all? .,, ., , , all? to be honest, it has been spontaneous. _ all? to be honest, it has been spontaneous. i— all? to be honest, it has been spontaneous. i read _ all? to be honest, it has been spontaneous. i read an - all? to be honest, it has been spontaneous. i read an article| all? to be honest, it has been i spontaneous. i read an article on tuesday night about england fans not being able to travel. i looked on the way for website and i got through and they were tickets available for the game. i bought one there and then and then work the rest out along the way. it is a bit of wing a prayer. rest out along the way. it is a bit of wing a prayer-— rest out along the way. it is a bit of wing a prayer. there will be so many england — of wing a prayer. there will be so many england fans _ of wing a prayer. there will be so many england fans hearing - of wing a prayer. there will be so many england fans hearing how l of wing a prayer. there will be so . many england fans hearing how easy that was and will be jealous. did you that was and will be jealous. did y°u pay that was and will be jealous. did you pay a lot of money for it? ida. you pay a lot of money for it? no, face value — you pay a lot of money for it? no, face value for _ you pay a lot of money for it? no, face value for the _ you pay a lot of money for it? iirr, face value for the ticket directly from the uefa website. super easy, the joys of being from the uefa website. super easy, thejoys of being inside from the uefa website. super easy, the joys of being inside the from the uefa website. super easy, thejoys of being inside the eu. lucky for you to be there and be able to watch it up close. we were hearing about the stats in the run—up, england is going in with the

game. it is such a historic moment for the team, it is the first time they have made it to a quarterfinal in the european championships. but they don't have the huge contingent of fans travelling from home. they are promising to flood to the fan zones in kyiv, a couple of them in town and the bars will be showing the game. there is a lot of excitement ahead of the match, the streets are not draped with flags and the crowds yet, because it is a lot later tonight this match will kick off. but behind the surface there is a lot of expectation, a lot of hopes for the team. people remembering the last time, the time england and ukraine met in 2012 here in ukraine itself in the eastern city of done yet sk. england did win but ukraine believed their ball cross the line and it should have been an equaliser. there is a lot of

remembering that and hoping that this time they can do it. they know they are the underdogs and england are the favourites. the president of ukraine has just posted are the favourites. the president of ukraine hasjust posted on are the favourites. the president of ukraine has just posted on social media saying he had a video conference call that the team in rome. he had a message and he said, england think of themselves as the father is a football but the ukrainian team who show them that sometimes parents have a lot to learn from their children. he reminded them they would be a0 million ukrainian supporting them and following them. it is a big moment for ukraine and a moment of release and something to cheer about in what has been a very difficult year here, as it has been for everybody around the world with this pandemic, of course.— pandemic, of course. thank you, sarah and _ pandemic, of course. thank you, sarah and we _ pandemic, of course. thank you, sarah and we will _ pandemic, of course. thank you, sarah and we will bring - pandemic, of course. thank you, sarah and we will bring you - pandemic, of course. thank you, sarah and we will bring you the l sarah and we will bring you the match build—up throughout the day. around 20 people are missing after a landslide in the japanese city of atami. unverified footage on social media shows mud cascading down a hillside,

smashing into buildings and washing away cars. the city is south—west of tokyo in shizuoka prefecture. a search and rescue mission has been launched. these are the latest pictures, showing extensive damage to roads and buildings in the path of the landslide in atami, which is around 100 kilometres south west of tokyo. the authorities have launched a search and rescue mission. officials say it happened at 10.30 in the morning, local time, and that several houses were swept away. thousands of homes in the area are without power. the region has seen heavy rains and flooding since friday. here's our correspondent injapan, rupert wingfield—hayes. you may be able to see the sun is struggling to get through the clouds here in tokyo this afternoon. that's pretty much the first time we've seen it in the last week or so. it's been pretty much continuous heavy rain across central and western japan for much of the last week. that's not a huge surprise.

this is the middle of rainy season. i have to say japan is a very mountainous and very densely populated country and when you travel around japan you see these sorts of communities built all the way up is very steep mountain sides. it's also true to say these sorts of events, these mudslides are also not uncommon injapan. however, there are a couple of things in this particular case. the first is to say that on social media there are not of people reporting that above that community, recently they'd cut down the forest to make way for a new solar project to build solar panels up on the mountainside. i can't confirm that moment if it turns out to be true, there will undoubtedly be political fallout, if it has triggered this disaster. the second thing to say is that over the years i've lived injapan, these sorts of weather events have become more intense and more destructive. there is certainly evidence that

intense weather events are getting more frequent, and that as a result of climate change. and because of that we are seeing regularly almost every year some sort of weather event unleashing this sort of disaster. rainfall has been above the average forjuly for the prefecture of shizuoka, where atami is located so let's go live there and speak to professor seijiro takeshita, from the university of shizuoka. thank you forjoining us. you are 50 miles away from atami, where the landslide happens. tell me how unusual the levels of rainfall have been? ,., .. , unusual the levels of rainfall have been? , ., unusual the levels of rainfall have been? ., been? the past couple of days, it has been a _ been? the past couple of days, it has been a record-breaking - been? the past couple of days, it i has been a record-breaking amount been? the past couple of days, it - has been a record-breaking amount of has been a record—breaking amount of rain and has exceeded the average amount of rain injuly as a whole.

unfortunately, these disasters happen, but one thing is the fact that injapan, because of all strong cohesiveness in the community, our societal values we don't see any looting, we don't see any opportunists, people who will stealing, we have people who will help these people out. we stealing, we have people who will help these people out.— help these people out. we were heafina help these people out. we were hearing that _ help these people out. we were hearing that it _ help these people out. we were hearing that it has _ help these people out. we were hearing that it has been - help these people out. we were | hearing that it has been reported above the community that has been hit, the forest had been cut down and that is being looked at as a possible cause for why this was so bad. is that something you were aware of? , ., , ~ ., , aware of? yes, i was in atami 'ust two weeks — aware of? yes, i was in atami 'ust two weeks ago. i aware of? yes, i was in atami 'ust two weeks ago. you i aware of? yes, i was in atami 'ust two weeks ago. you can i aware of? yes, i was in atami 'ust two weeks ago. you can see b aware of? yes, i was in atamijust two weeks ago. you can see it - aware of? yes, i was in atamijust two weeks ago. you can see it is l aware of? yes, i was in atamijustj two weeks ago. you can see it is a typical situation where people build houses or whatever in a very, very acute angle. but injapan, this is

the thing you have to live with. 0nly the thing you have to live with. only 10% of the thing you have to live with. 0nly10% of land is actually usable and that is one of the tragedies because of physical situation. unfortunately, wejust because of physical situation. unfortunately, we just have to cope with these natural disasters. as you pointed out, there could be some political implications, but this moment, politics is on the agenda. we are there to help these people and in that sense, we are very good at uniting to help the others during these disasters. shore at uniting to help the others during these disasters.— these disasters. are you hearing from local— these disasters. are you hearing from local reports _ these disasters. are you hearing from local reports how - these disasters. are you hearing from local reports how many - these disasters. are you hearing - from local reports how many people are actually affected by what the latest reports are now? we know there are 19 _ latest reports are now? we know there are 19 deaths _ latest reports are now? we know there are 19 deaths that - latest reports are now? we know there are 19 deaths that have - latest reports are now? we know. there are 19 deaths that have been reported, which is a very big tragedy and it is a very big shock for many people. atami is a favourite place, notjust for people

from shizuoka, but people from tokyo. so basically, it is going to give out a lot of negative connotation and fear which means that psychologically negativity will further hit the already burdened tourist industry in the eastern part of shizuoka, which is in atami. professor, thank you forjoining us. thank you for having me. the un security council has met to discuss the crisis in ethiopia's tigray region. the ethiopian government has denied allegations that it's been blocking aid getting through. this follows tigrayan rebels taking control of much of the northern region this week. the un world food programme says it's operating but access is still difficult as courtney bembridge reports. cheering and chanting.

an extraordinary moment after months of brutal conflict. cheering. horns blare. celebrations on the streets of tigray�*s capital mekelle after rebel fighters took over the city. they've declared victory over the government troops but eight months of fighting has left its mark. more than a00,000 people are estimated to have crossed the threshold into famine and another 1.8 million people are on the brink of famine. some are suggesting that the numbers are even higher. 33,000 children are severely malnourished. and moreover, the food insecurity crisis will continue to worsen during the impending rainy season. this will also make it harder — a key bridge used to get humanitarian aid into the area has been destroyed. the ethiopian government has been accused of using hunger as a weapon — a claim it denies — but international pressure is building.

this week, the government unilaterally announced a ceasefire, stating it was doing so for humanitarian purposes. the government must now demonstrate that it truly intends to use the ceasefire to address the humanitarian catastrophe in tigray. ethiopia responded, telling the un security council it's more than capable. we remain committed to work with all bilateral and multilateral partners through genuine partnership and understanding that the government of tigray is more than capable of overcoming these challenges. we encourage council members to play a constructive role in supporting the tigrayan government and the implementation of the humanitarian ceasefire. sammir in ethiopian prime minister abiy ahmed, not long ago awarded a nobel peace prize, now finds himself mired in an ugly war which threatens the stability of the entire region. surrey courtney bembridge, bbc news. the only

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 it can go ahead with its plan to end lockdown restrictions in england on 19thjuly. 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. 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. brazil s prosecutor general has asked the country s top court to investigate presidentjair bolsonaro for failing to respond to allegations of corruption, in a contract for the purchase of covid vaccines. the president is under increasing attack for his handling of the pandemic. more than half a million people have died with covid—19 virus in the country, which is home to the world s second deadliest outbreak. around 200 us businesses have been hit by what's being described as a "colossal" ransomware attack, according to one cyber—security firm. huntress labs said the hack targeted a florida—based it company before spreading through corporate networks that use its software. that company, kaseya, said it's urging customers that use its vsa tool to immediately shut down their servers. the cyber—breach emerged on friday afternoon as firms across the us clocked off for the independence day weekend. huntress labs says it believes a russian—linked ransomware gang

is behind the attack, the same group who the fbi say have targeted other companies. jamal ahmed is an expert on information security and explained why those firms who have been affected were being urged to shut their systems. unfortunately, once they've been hit it's too late to do anything, other than react. so one thing we know is that they are working on a patch to try and solve this but to limit the damage, what they've said is we need to shut this down and the reason it is important to shut it down is imagine you've got a safety deposit box in a bank. somebody could break into that safety deposit box and take the valuables. the problem here is they haven't taken the safety deposit box, they've taken the skeleton key to the safety deposit

boxes in the room. what we can see is they've attacked these service providers, which means just from three of the 200 businesses affected, we know at least eight isps that have been affected, so this could potentially be thousands of companies and the best thing to do is to get those businesses to shut their it servers and systems down straightaway to prevent any further damage. we've had attacks like this in the past, in 2018 we had a china state—based attack on, which there was an indictment for. we also know about the notpetya attack from russia, and we can see the us either cyber security guys, they've actually been unable to do anything about this. and it isn't hard for the state sponsored criminals to shut down here and start up over there the next day. 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.

a teenager from swansea who took up painting during lockdown has attracted the attention of one of the world's most prestigious art galleries. 1a—year—old makenzy beard started working on canvasses in the family's garden shed when schools closed in march 2020, creating images of the people around her. and it's her painting of her neighbour — a farmer called john tucker, that has been chosen by the royal academy of arts, to show in one of its summer exhibitions. you are watching bbc news. 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 and the liver building in liverpool, 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.

now it's time for a look at the weather. a few of you will get through this week largely try but there will be showers across the country. some are likely to be heavy and thundery and torrential in places. the showers will vary widely. the satellite picture showed there was plenty of cloud around, moving northwards. sunny developments developing in the south this afternoon but we will see localised and intense showers. persistent rain will be moving to northern scotland and the north. this afternoon there will be a convergence line, a zone of showers where the wind meets and perform a consistent zone of rain across devon, part of cornwall, somerset and parts of the cotswolds and there is a risk of flooding. away from the main wet areas in southern scotland, humid temperatures up to 22 degrees.

same sort of value at wimbledon. more sunshine around this afternoon compared with what happened this morning. this evening and overnight, we will see a few showers around. some heavy and thundery and heavy ones returning back to the south later on. 0verall ones returning back to the south later on. overall it will be a mild and muggy night with temperatures in the mid teens for most into sunday morning. the sunday, more sunshine around than we saw this morning. we will see sunny spells and showers develop across the south initially and then developing elsewhere. some of those heavy with hail and thunder but there will be some, especially around the coasts who avoid the showers altogether. 0n around the coasts who avoid the showers altogether. on monday, it is the north which will remain focused for showers, particularly parts of scotland. showers through england, ireland and wales but later in the day any sunshine turns hazy and persistent rain and strengthening winds push into the south—west. it will feel cooler on monday. watch

developments to the south—west on monday and tuesday, a deep low could spread northwards bringing not only persistent and heavy rain for england, wales and eastern scotland, but gale force winds across the southern half of the country. the outlook looks a bit grim with outbreaks of rain on and off for most of the day, but there will be dry moments to enjoy as well.
