6:02 pm
in two straight sets. it's funny because at the beginning when i was packing to come into the bubble, my parents were like, "aren't you packing too many sets of match kit?" i think i'm going to have to do some laundry tonight but i think they have a laundry service at the hotel so i'm all good, guys. and — the sexism row in ukraine — criticism as women soldiers parade in high—heeled shoes. anticipation is building ahead of england's euro 2020 quarter—final clash with ukraine this evening, where a place in the
6:03 pm
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. john watson joins us from rome. two hours to go. yes, good evening and a very warm welcome to the olympic stadium in rome whether fans are starting to gather ahead of the kick—off later. what an occasion and what a moment for this england team and gareth southgate, a brilliant opportunity to book their place in a semifinal in a european championships of the first time in 25 years. the atmosphere will be very different of course, this is the first match england have played away from wembley. there will be far fewer fans than those watching in wembley for that momentous victory over germany last time out, in excess of 40,000 cheering england on
6:04 pm
for that brilliant victory. it does not come very often in major tournaments. it will be different against ukraine tonight, 16,000 will be any here and very few of those will be england supporters, just over 2000 probably who have travelled here from italy and other places in europe. uk fans were told not to travel with covid restrictions being what they are. conditions are also different, 27 degrees at the moment so it could be very hot and humid. that is something england will not have contended with so far in this tournament. the advantage gareth southgate has is the brilliant players piazon the bench, huge strength in depth in this tournament. the only injury was bukayo saka, man of the match awards, any other tournament would
6:05 pm
mean a panic with an injury but not so in this occasion with so many players gareth southgate has to choose from to bring in a replacement. we will get team news and our arsenal before kick—off. this is the moment gareth southgate has been building towards, england qualified in the last world cup but this tournament was about proving to himself, the squad and the england fans that england could regularly compete in the biggest stage for the biggest prizes and the arrow on the cusp of doing that if they can go on and beat ukraine and reach the semifinal which will be staged at wembley next week. it is a big ask, he will not want to underestimate ukraine, it will be typical of an england side in the past beating a nation like germany and failing to get across the line with a team like ukraine but i am sure he will not want to sell them short. gareth
6:06 pm
southgate has prepared as best as he can, he knows that and his players know that, they have prepared as well as they can. if they beat ukraine they will return to wembley and see what england can produce further down the line. it is building nicely as we head towards kick—off at eight o'clock. the kick-off at eight o'clock. the headlines — kick-off at eight o'clock. the headlines in _ kick-off at eight o'clock. the headlines in my _ kick—off at eight o'clock. the headlines in my brighton paper are, don't worry gareth southgate will bounce back. he certainly has. thank you very much, john watson. let's see the build up in another part of the city — anna holligan is with england fans gathering in rome. they all look ready for this game. they all look ready for this game. they are so ready for this game and if anyone feared that travel ban between the uk and italy would interfere with the atmosphere here interfere with the atmosphere here in rome, we are outside the olympic stadium here. f cheering.

6:11 pm
other news. the supermarket morrisons has agreed a takeover deal worth £6.3 billion. 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 5.5 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. one 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,
6:12 pm
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. fortresses 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. a man's been charged with the murder of a 60—year—old

who died after being stabbed at oxford circus, in london, on thursday evening. the suspect has been named as tedi fanta hagos who's 25 and from swansea. two more people have been found dead in the wreckage of a building that collapsed in miami more than a week ago. officials say 24 people are confirmed to have died, with 124 people still missing. a rescue operation has been underway at the surfside apartment complex since the collapse on the 24th ofjune. 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 warning were in effect. the japanese army has been called in to help with the search and rescue operation.
6:14 pm
the city is southwest of tokyo in 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 crushing 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 every year. but there are fears tourism, already affected by the coronavirus pandemic, could be further impacted. atami is a favourite place not even for people from shizuoka but people from tokyo and kanagawa and chiba, in the tokyo area.
6:15 pm
so basically, it is going to give out a lot of negative connotation and fear, which means that psychological negativity will bear possibly a further hit on the already burdened tourist industry in the eastern part of shizuoka which is in atami. the region has seen heavy rains and flooding since friday. japan's prime minister is putting together an emergency task force while rescue workers on the ground are still searching for the missing. residents in parts of three prefectures, shizuoka, kanagawa and chiba, have been ordered to evacuate following warnings of further flooding in low—lying areas. japan is prone to mudslides and flooding during its annual rainy season, but the heavy rainfall is getting more intense and destructive each year, which has been linked
6:16 pm
to climate change. dozens of people were killed in flooding in july last year, with more than 200 dying in 2018 when parts of western japan were inundated by bad weather. sodaba hadaire, bbc news. the headlines on bbc news... the countdown is on as england prepares to take on ukraine later in the hope of winning a place in the euro semi—finals 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. a 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.
6:17 pm
back to the euros. with me now is former england midfielder darren anderton — anderton played an important part in the euro 96 england team that reached the semi—finals. you're a team—mate of gareth southgate. tickets through the emotions that night. molar southgate. tickets through the emotions that night. southgate. tickets through the emotions that niuht. ~ ., ., , ., emotions that night. wow there was a lot of emotion. _ emotions that night. wow there was a lot of emotion, such _ emotions that night. wow there was a lot of emotion, such a _ emotions that night. wow there was a lot of emotion, such a big _ emotions that night. wow there was a lot of emotion, such a big game, - lot of emotion, such a big game, semifinal. football is coming home reverberating around the stadium before the game. everyone remembers the national anthem that night, it was so special. an incredible occasion. unfortunately, we got the only goal to go 1—0 up early in the game then they equalised. we had a couple of really good chances, myself and gascoigne so close to
6:18 pm
getting the golden goal but it went to penalties. we were very confident of them because we had beaten spain on penalties a few days earlier but it was not meant to be. a really strange feeling when that last penalty kick went in for the germans, not a good feeling. you know how gareth _ germans, not a good feeling. you know how gareth operates, what will he be doing right now with the team? he will be very chilled and very thorough in everything they have donein thorough in everything they have done in the last few days, looking at the ukraine team. he will probably have little words with players individuallyjust as near going round the pitch and the changing room before the game. he is not a rancher or raver. there are lots of staff there to help him. he willjust be trying to keep the boys nice and calm before it begins. hosp nice and calm before it begins. how much does — nice and calm before it begins. how much does 1996 _ nice and calm before it begins. how much does 1996 haunt him? he has been so calm, he delivered in that

6:20 pm
in the squad to go and entertain and win games comfortably and everything else. —— ifor one. my only worry was how we would be defensively and i think gareth has addressed that. he has seen matt and knows that against better teams and players we might not be as strong as we need to be defensively so he has addressed it. he has taken a little bit away from that attacking flair we have, we all want to be entertained, we don't want to when 1—0 but by 3—0 but at the end of the day, it is all about winning, clean sheets help you when tournaments and good defensive performances help you win and that is what we have seen so far. maybe there will be a couple of changes to get the boys to be a bit more attacking minding —— attacking minded. there will be a lot of
6:21 pm
possession in the game tonight. it might mean one of those boys like jack grealish or mason mount or phil foden will unlock that offence. having said that, the boys have just come out onto the pitch. they look very relaxed. they are just milling around, limbering up i suppose. is that raheem sterling there? yes, the team coming out. i think iso— cane come out earlier as well. there have been questions about the line—up. what it will look like and whether that risk of putting those who have won yellow card away from throwing everything away, how much of a risk is that? what should the line—up look like? i is that? what should the line-up look like? ~ is that? what should the line-up look like? ,, , ., , ., look like? i think it should be a fine-u- look like? i think it should be a line-up that— look like? i think it should be a line-up that goes _ look like? i think it should be a line-up that goes out - look like? i think it should be a line-up that goes out to - look like? i think it should be a line-up that goes out to win i look like? i think it should be a| line-up that goes out to win the line—up that goes out to win the game. i do not think we should be complacent in anyway. we should not
6:22 pm
think we can rest players. it is about playing for your country. you do not play with those players we can make out so going fraternal and, the more a team remains esteemed a better understanding you have as players. —— remains the same. i understand everybody wants to see the talented players i talked about in the starting line—up but i am not sure that will happen. i do not think that would be the best thing either. continuity is what we want going through a tournament so let us hope that is not too many changes. i am just looking at some of the characters are. we saw jack grealish come out a short time ago. i would love to know your characterisation of the england team today compared to how you would have described the team back in 1996, was it an older team, a type team?—
6:23 pm
team back in 1996, was it an older team, a type team? very similar. i think gareth _ team, a type team? very similar. i think gareth was _ team, a type team? very similar. i think gareth was part _ team, a type team? very similar. i think gareth was part of— team, a type team? very similar. i think gareth was part of that - team, a type team? very similar. i think gareth was part of that and i team, a type team? very similar. i | think gareth was part of that and he has taken that on board over the last decade, previous to gareth being in charge, there was a team of individuals in the english team, lots of talent but gareth has made them a team now. whoever plays a horizontal bench, they are all mucking in together, they're all enjoying each other�*s success and thatis enjoying each other�*s success and that is what you need. you cannot have players down in the dumps because they are not playing. they might be called upon. jack grealish has done exactly that, he has not sulked. he played well in the third game and probably expected to play against germany but didn't, did not sulk and got his chance. a couple of moments of quality that one is the game against the germans and that is what you need in a squad. obviously it is a younger squad than ours. we had older more established players,
6:24 pm
real leaders and characters who were probably captains at their own home clubs whereas this is a much younger team but a really exciting one. finally, what do you use looking like tonight? d0 finally, what do you use looking like tonight?— finally, what do you use looking like toniaht? , , ., like tonight? do you see penalties? no, i like tonight? do you see penalties? no. i never — like tonight? do you see penalties? no, i never want _ like tonight? do you see penalties? no, i never want that. _ like tonight? do you see penalties? no, i never want that. i _ like tonight? do you see penalties? no, i never want that. i think - like tonight? do you see penalties? no, i never want that. i think it - no, i never want that. i think it will be tight again, very solid, i think we have the quality to score the goals against this ukrainian team. i think we will win 2—0. fantastic, i will take that. thank you very much indeed.— fantastic, i will take that. thank you very much indeed. let's take a look at the latest coronavirus data for the uk. these are the figures that have just come up on the screen.
6:25 pm
sadly, there have been 18 more deaths from coronavirus — that's within 28 days of a positive test. a further 24, 885 people have tested positive for the virus in the last 24 hour period. and more than 45 million people have received their first vaccination whilst almost 33 and a half million people have had both jabs. and she can see on the screen. —— as you can see on the screen. 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. 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. one even suggested masks might become optional afterjuly the 19th. but today doctors warned that wouldn't be wise with infections rising.
6:26 pm
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 fully jabbed 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.
6:27 pm
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 yourfingers 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. now on bbc news, it's time for sportsday. hello and welcome to sportsday. the countdown is on. england are just hours away from potentially getting to the semifinals of the euros as they prepare to take on ukraine in rome.
6:28 pm
can they win again to get to the semifinals. despite the travel restrictions, england fans are in rome hoping their adventure can continue tonight. i am live at wimbledon where18—year—old emma raducanu stunning run continues as she reaches the fourth round. but cameron norrie's wimbledon is over in the singles as roger federer beat him in for sets to make it into the second week. and i'mjane dougall at the bbc sport centre. also coming up in the programme: the british and irish lions first outing on tour. but who will take first blood in johannesburg? and england women are on course for another victory against india in their third one day international.
6:29 pm
good evening, a warm welcome to the olympic stadium in rome, what an occasion and what a moment for this england side as they look to book their place in the semifinal of european championships first time in 25 years. the england team were out on the pitch behind me a few moments ago, soaking up the atmosphere, which will be very different to the one experienced at wembley with that brilliant victory against germany last time out. there are a few england fans here, significantly less than their wear at wembley, between 2000 and 2500 fans inside the stadium and certainly making their voices heard as england headed out into the pitch a few moments ago. it will be different for england, not least of your fans but also a different stadium. this is a
6:30 pm
first time england have paid away from home in this tournament. we will hearfrom from home in this tournament. we will hear from gareth southgate but he feels that can be a positive for his team. it is worth pointing out it is hot here, 27 degrees, it will drop a few degrees before kick—off but this is something this england team will have to content with. as we know, gareth southgate and this team have huge resources on the bench as they look to book their place on the semifinals at euro 2020 one and what a chance they have to do so. the atmosphere is building here as it is across the country, in beer gardens up and down the country and in the capital. we can cross night to greg mckenzie and london. good evening. i imagine a huge number there are hopeful that a england's your journey will number there are hopeful that a england's yourjourney will continue england's your journey will continue tonight. england's yourjourney will continue tonight. ——
