hello and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world. anticipation is building ahead of england's euro 2020 quarterfinal clash with ukraine this evening, where a place in the semifinals 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. joining me now from hamburg in germany is gary wills — he had tickets to see the england match tonight, but unfortunately tested positive for coronavirus yesterday. that must have been absolutely gutting. that must have been absolutely uuuttin. , . that must have been absolutely . uttin . _ , ., , that must have been absolutely uuuttin. , ., ,., gutting. yes, that is an understatement. - gutting. yes, that is an understatement. it - gutting. yes, that is an understatement. it hasi gutting. yes, that is an - understatement. it has been a gutting. yes, that is an _ understatement. it has been a bit of a roller—coaster week because i had my second vaccine on monday and that was great and then tuesday there was obviously the euphoria of beating germany, which was something from my point of view is a long—term england fan and living in germany was extra

special, and then wednesday i started to feel a bit iffy, some of it i presumed was side effects etc and then i also got a ticket, i kept checking the uefa website all day because i realised it was not possible for england people to travel call killie, i thought it was a great opportunity to support the lads. are still felt a bit rubbish on thursday but thought i would still go because i thought it was side effects, and then yesterday i went to get my results and found out i was 8pm positive. we went to get my results and found out i was 8pm positive.— i was 8pm positive. we have lost our i was 8pm positive. we have lost your picture _ i was 8pm positive. we have lost your picture but _ i was 8pm positive. we have lost your picture but i'm _ i was 8pm positive. we have lost your picture but i'm hoping - i was 8pm positive. we have lost your picture but i'm hoping you l i was 8pm positive. we have lost l your picture but i'm hoping you can still hear us. —— i was covid positive. in terms of the cost, you said you spent a lot on flights, the ticket, what happens now? the ticket is dead, the — ticket, what happens now? the ticket is dead, the flights _ ticket, what happens now? the ticket is dead, the flights i _

of the 96, 97,2010, it bad light football wise is because of the 96, 97, 2010, it has all been bubbling up over the years. being here in 2010 watching them beat us and sing them when the world cup here in 2014, it is hard to take as an england fan, so it was special, but i do not think they seem too much of a worry. it was crazy the other night that my neighbour bought me a bottle the other night as congratulations, so i thought that was really sweet.— was really sweet. that is really nice, was really sweet. that is really nice. that _ was really sweet. that is really nice. that is — was really sweet. that is really nice, that is lovely! _ was really sweet. that is really nice, that is lovely! i'm - was really sweet. that is really nice, that is lovely! i'm so - was really sweet. that is really| nice, that is lovely! i'm so sorry about the covid and missing the match, but hopefully we will win. thank you. we will have a lot more on the preparation for england's match in the sport in about ten minutes' time. the supermarket morrisons has agreed a takeover deal worth six—point—three billion pounds. the bid is from a new company backed by three private investment groups,

including the american owner of majestic wine. last month the chain rejected an offer of 5—and—a—half billion pounds from a different firm, saying it significantly undervalued the business. our business correspondent katy austin has more. morrisons has nearly 500 stores and employs about 110,000 staff in the uk. the takeover offer that has been agreed is led by the us private equity group fortress. its bid is higher than one by a different firm which morrisons rejected last month. 0ne stockbroker told me the supermarket is seen as an attractive prospect right now. the main issue is i think they will feel the price is too low and there is value to be had. the company is profitable it's got very limited debt, it has got a good, popular business, it's got a good business model and the shares have done very little for the last five years, so i think they will genuinely think they are getting a bargain. so, would a takeover lead to any noticeable changes? morrisons owns most of its stores. would fortress perhaps look to sell some and lease them back? well, fortress has said it doesn't anticipate doing that it. it's understood this and other commitments, for example on pay, were significant factors

in the supermarket�*s board recommending the offer. fortress is really going out of its way to emphasise a different approach from private equity, a long—term backing for the existing strategy to reassure the market and to reassure customers and colleagues that basically this doesn't mean a lot of change. it really doesn't. morrisons shareholders will eventually have the final say on the takeover bid. the competitive grocery sector is changing. the pandemic sped up the shift to online shopping and delivery. some investors clearly feel there are potentially lucrative opportunities to be had. katy austin, bbc news. doctors are calling on the government to keep some coronavirus measures in place in england after the 19th ofjuly, when the final stage of lifting restrictions is due to happen. the british medical association says face coverings and improved ventilation should continue. the prime minister has said he hopes the country will be able to return to something close to pre—pandemic life later this month, but "extra

precautions" might be needed. naomi grimley reports. what will our lives look like by the end of this month? some ministers have hinted there could be a sweeping away of the regulations we've got so used to. 0ne even suggested masks might become optional afterjuly the 19th. but today doctors warned that wouldn't be wise with infections rising. don't give people false assurances or hopes that life will be back to normal. do the responsible thing which is to continue to have targeted measures to stop the spread of this infection, or prevent the spread of this infection, with a parallel vaccination programme so that we can probably get to a point in the not—too—distant future where we are bringing those infection rates down. this comes as ministers debate allowing fullyjabbed people to avoid isolation if they come into contact with an infectious person and instead do daily testing.

downing street says it is under active consideration and some doctors think it might work, but only if people are disciplined. although the lateral flow tests, the rapid tests you do yourself at home, are by no means as accurate as the pcr tests that you have done either by post and sent to the lab or the one you go into the centre for, they're not as accurate for telling if you are infected but they are really pretty good at telling if you are infectious. # and the rhythm of life is a powerful beat, puts a tingle # in your fingers and a tingle in yourfeet...# this star—studded video has been released ahead of the 73rd birthday of the nhs this weekend. any changes to covid restrictions remain dependent on how well our health system can cope this summer. naomi grimley, bbc news. at least two people are reported to have died and another 20 or more are missing after a huge mudslide swept through a hillside resort in centraljapan.

the area had received extremely large amounts of rainfall in the last few days and flood and landslide warnings were in effect. the japanese army has been called in to help with the search and rescue operation. the city is south—west of tokyo in the shizuoka prefecture, where mud cascaded down a hillside, smashing into buildings and washing away cars. sodaba hadaire reports. this is the aftermath of the mudslide in the city of atami. knocking down and crashing homes and sweeping away cars. 0fficials knocking down and crashing homes and sweeping away cars. officials say the mudslide struck at 10:30am local time, leaving thousands of houses without power. atami is known for its hot springs and holiday resorts. it is in the same region as the famous mount fuji, which usually attracts over a million visitors

bosses, who say more than 60,000 workers are needed to keep goods moving. our business correspondent dave harvey reports. it's food on the shelves, it's drinks on the shelves, and it's builders' merchants being full. that's really what it is. if we're not delivering product, the shops won't be full, and that will have a massive impact on the uk. in many ways, trucks like these are meant to be the lifeblood of our economy. they keep everything moving. right now, they're parked up and going nowhere. not that there's a shortage of companies with stuff to move, or indeed, at 150 grand for a cab and a trailer, any shortage of trucks themselves. theyjust can't find enough drivers. one in ten of this somerset firm's lorries are parked up at the moment, costing thousands every day. the industry calculates britain is short of 60,000 lorry drivers. 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 effects of brexit, they haven't wanted to come back. they can earnjust as much in places

like germany or france, there's no real need to be in the uk. on top of that, during the pandemic, many new drivers couldn't 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 arrive, back behind the wheel. and if it wasn't for me doing the interview today i'd be driving myself, because it has become the case, mainly, we're both driving weekly. competition for drivers is fierce, supermarkets paying double rates to keep their trucks moving. and small firms like this have had to put their wages up, too. as of 1st ofjune this year, we had to give our drivers, across the board, about a 25% pay increase, which if you think about it, that's 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've had to pass that cost, or certainly the drivers' wages element, to our customers, to be able to carry this forward. in time, this will all put up

prices in our shops. they want government to fund new apprenticeships and training schemes, and ministers insist they are working on that. but it takes several years to learn to drive a big wagon, and britain needs tens of thousands more drivers right now. dave harvey, bbc news. the headlines on bbc news: england prepares to take on ukraine later in the hope of winning a place in the euro semifinals for the first time in 25 years. supermarket chain morrisons accepts a multi—billion pound takeover bid by a us investment group led by the owner of majestic wine. britain's main doctors' union urges the government to keep some social distancing measures in place after the 19th ofjuly when all coronavirus restrictions are due to be scrapped.

time for a sports round—up with jane. good afternoon. england are attempting to reach their first euros semifinalfor 25 years — they play ukraine later in rome. supporters are being asked not to travel because of coronavirus restrictions, so there will be a far smaller crowd cheering them on than they've been used to. john watson is in rome for us. john it looks hot there — will that be a problem for england? yes, good afternoon. hello from the stadio 0limpico. i think temperature and conditions of potentially will be a factor later when it kick off is around 8pm and it could be around 27 or 28 degrees, but i'm sure the temperature will drop off and i'm sure that will play into gareth southgate's thinking. he does have a lot of attacking quality on the bench and a lot of brilliant players to fall upon it should players tire after what has been a long domestic season as well. it will be interesting to see how it plays out,

but in the lead out he has been very clear, he is not worried about external factors, temperature clear, he is not worried about externalfactors, temperature here external factors, temperature here or externalfactors, temperature here or playing in a different stadium for the first time in this tournament, northe for the first time in this tournament, nor the few fans he will be here. two and a half thousand will be england fans —— under two and a half thousand. he said there yet to conquer everest which will be winning the tournament for the first time. we will wait to see what gareth southgate does in regards to team selection.— gareth southgate does in regards to team selection. there has been a lot of speculation _ team selection. there has been a lot of speculation as _ team selection. there has been a lot of speculation as to _ team selection. there has been a lot of speculation as to who _ team selection. there has been a lot of speculation as to who he - team selection. there has been a lot of speculation as to who he might. of speculation as to who he might select. do you have any clues to who he might go for on his starting line—up? he might go for on his starting line-u - ? , he might go for on his starting hne-u-? , , , he might go for on his starting line-u - ? , , , ., line-up? yes, it is interesting to note that i guess that there is i note that i guess that there is one injury concern and that is around the forward who started against germany and played so impressively in the game before that. with him at being a potentially an opportunity

for mason mount to come back into the team after his period of self isolation ended and he linked back into the squad once again. will be interesting to see what gareth southgate will do, but i guess it says a lot when you consider that we are talking about a potential injury. in tournaments of the past, certainly as far as england go, whether to be news of an injury in the camp, that certainly sends out a sense of panic within the squad and the general public and the media alike, but that does not seem to be the case any more and i guess that just illustrates the stead of quality of players gareth southgate has at his disposal. so i guess whoever comes in, he knows they will do good job. he will stick with the spine of the team that has helped get england this far, because it is a match that they will be expected to dominate possession against ukraine, who they have a good record against. as we know, not a team to be underestimated and gareth southgate will be only too aware of that heading into the match tonight. thank you.

the weather hasn't been quite as good at wimbledon, and there was british disappointment last night with both andy murray and dan evans going out. however, cameron norrie is still in and he faces roger federer later, plus the impressive emma raducanu is on court one now. 0ur reporter chetan pathick is there for us. thank you, yes, the weather not great today, already had some rain which temporarily stopped play on outside courts, but we are back up and running everywhere here at wimbledon. the british fans need some cheering up after andy murray's disappointed last night. all hopes in the women's singles on emma raducanu and she is in third round action the moment. is our live pictures we can show you from court one against sorana cirstea and this one against sorana cirstea and this one is with serve at the moment, but emma raducanu making a good start, looking calm and composed. she was sitting her a—levels two months ago and here she is at her first grand

slam on court one in the third round against sorana cirstea who, 31, put out as a banker in the round before, not an easy opponent but she has made a good start in this one. —— put out azarenka. as you mentioned, cameron norrie, the british number two man group, is on centre court later, just the small task of having to face the 20 time it ransom champion roger federer, who almost played himself into form against richard gasquet, and it is a tough ask for cameron norrie. he has not quite finished a title, he was runner—up at queens, but federer is not the same federer who he was a couple of years ago if cameron norrie can get into that one early, who knows? plenty of other action. the research a buzz around coco

gauff, we know what she did when she beat williams, but she is looking supremely confident. she will be one to look forward to it later on this afternoon. we also have ashleigh barty in action. for the moment on court one, looking good for emma raducanu, with serve against sorana cirstea. ., ., ., ., , raducanu, with serve against sorana cirstea. ., ., ., ., . cirstea. coverage of a is a cross bbc. cirstea. coverage of a is a cross bbc- -- — cirstea. coverage of a is a cross bbc. -- coverage _ cirstea. coverage of a is a cross bbc. -- coverage of _ cirstea. coverage of a is a crossl bbc. -- coverage of wimbledon. lewis hamilton has signed a new two—year deal with mercedes, which runs to the end of 2023. he's won six of his seven world titles with the team and he's bidding for a record—breaking eighth championship this season. but he was more than half a second behind red bull's max verstappen in final practice for the austrian grand prix, and the dutchman will be favourite to take pole position this afternoon for the third race in a row. england bowler 0llie robinson is free to play cricket again, despite being given a ban for offensive tweets he posted some years ago. the comments came to light injune, as he made his international

debut in the first test against new zealand. he received an eight—match ban, five of which are suspended for two years, and he's already served the other three. he was also fined £3,200. robinson has apologised again, saying he was "incredibly embarrassed and ashamed". over on the bbc sport website you can follow england women's one—dayer against india, and there's news too that the england men's squad is unchanged for their series against pakistan. that is it for now. thank you. authorities in miami say the number of people confirmed dead after last week's building collapse has risen to 22 with at least 126 others still unaccounted for. they've now evacuated a second residential building in the miami beach area out of what they are calling an "abundance of caution". the ten—storey building has 156 properties. engineers say they found concrete and electrical problems. brazil's prosecutor general has asked the country stop court to investigate presidentjair bolsonaro for failing to respond

to allegations of corruption, in a contract for the purchase of coronavirus vaccines. the president — who is sceptical about the virus — is under increasing attack for his handling of the pandemic. more than half a million people have died with covid—i9 virus in the country, which is home to the world's second deadliest outbreak. when schools first closed to help prevent the spread of coronavirus last year, it left many students with some spare time on their hands, and one of those was 14—year—old makenzy beard from swansea who decided to take up painting in her garden shed. now 18 months on, her work is set to go on display at a prestigious art gallery in london. ben price went to meet her. when schools closed in march 2020, makenzy decided to find a new hobby to occupy her time. over the past year she has produced more than a dozen portraits. we had paints and canvases and brushes in the shed, and i thought, why not give it a try? and itjust escalated from there, really.

one of her favourite subjects to paint is her neighbour, john tucker, a farmer on the gower peninsula. having photographed him at work, mackenzy spent three weeks carefully crafting his image. i was standing in the yard, ijust brought some hay nets down, and she just stopped me and asked me if she could take a photograph. i didn't expect what i did see at the end. it was absolutely brilliant. she's a very talented young lady, really. he's just got a really lovely, kind and friendly demeanour, and i thought that he's local, he is totally unrelated to covid, he just goes about his business every day. and i thought he would just be a wonderful person to paint and a really nice essence to capture. so i was doing five minutes before school, an hour afterwards before sport, it was all broken down. i never spent any long, extended periods of time doing it. i reckon in total i probably spent 20 hours.

makenzy entered her first art competition with this portrait, and it clearly impressed. next it will be exhibited at young artists' summer show at the royal academy of arts during july and august. that will be really exciting, and to have judges look at it, and other artists, shows that it's appreciation from another artist's perspective and not just family and friends. with much of her time now spread between schoolwork and playing hockey for wales, makenzy says she's unsure what the future may hold, but she hopes art and being creative will be a part of it. ben price, bbc news. the famous montreux jazz festival is under way for the first time in two years. the pandemic forced proceedings in 2020 to be cancelled and this year's festival has had to be staged on a much smaller scale. the bbc�*s tim allman has the story.

all the greats have played montreaux. for more than 50 years, the artists, the pioneers, the legends. but then came covid, and the music stopped. now, on the shores of lake geneva, final preparations for the festival's return. translation: we've obviously spent |18 particularly complicated months, | first with the cancellation of the festival last year and for this year, it was extremely important for us to succeed, so we took a gamble at the beginning of the year. gamble is putting it mildly. this is a major international music festival, but for 2021, it will only be a fraction of its normal size, and covid

continues to cause problems. a number of acts from the uk had to cancel due to the delta variant, and organising a last—minute line—up was no easy task. translation: we didn't think. we would be impacted this much. we have been fishing for information, contacting agents, managers, seeing what is possible. one of the headliners on the first night, the french director, designer and a singer woodkid. this is picturesque a concert venue as you could possibly wish for. at montreaux, the music is back. tim allman, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with nick miller. well dodging the downpours this weekend in an area of heavy rain affecting parts of northern england
