really because it is such a crucial game and the winners of the game tonight will go onto that semifinal next week at wembley. we are counting down to it. thank you very much. it is time to check out the weather. hello, there's a spell of heavy rain clearing northern england as it moves northwards across more of scotland going into this evening. elsewhere, there may be some warm, sunny spells around, but we are dodging the downpours, heavy showers and thunderstorms. could be quite a nasty line of them affecting parts of south—west england. varied rain totals, some places staying drier, other places with a risk of flash flooding. a warm, muggy night to come. many of the downpours easing, but pepping up again later in the night across southern south—western parts. tomorrow, outbreaks of rain clearing northern scotland, some sunny spells developing, further heavy and thundery showers to contend with, so certainly bear that in mind if you have got outdoor plans. there are some met office weather warnings, so it is certainly worth having a look at those.

for the most part, winds are light, so some of these downpours are going to be quite slow—moving. but, as ever, some places will avoid them and stay dry. feeling quite humid out there, temperatures into the high teens and just the low 20s. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines: half an hour to kick—off — england prepare to take on ukraine in the hope of winning a place in the euro semifinals for the first time in 25 years. the opportunity�*s there. the confidence is there. and the belief. and, yeah, i think they are looking forward to the challenge. england fans are gathering in rome, where excitement is building ahead of the game. if england win, they'll face

let's return to our main story now — england's euro 2020 quarterfinal match tonight against ukraine. john watson joins us from rome. is that ukrainian team have gone further in this competition than any ukrainian team before. a good deal of confidence in their side as well, would you say?— of confidence in their side as well, would you say? yes, i think so. good evenin: , would you say? yes, i think so. good evening, welcome _ would you say? yes, i think so. good evening, welcome back— would you say? yes, i think so. good evening, welcome back to _ would you say? yes, i think so. good evening, welcome back to the - would you say? yes, i think so. good evening, welcome back to the stadio| evening, welcome back to the stadio olimpico in rome where i think you can probably hear the cheers and the chorus there of three lions, which is interesting when a lot of talk coming into this was the lack of england fans in the stadium, but they are certainly making their voices heard. that is interesting, because we were saying there could because we were saying there could be anything between 2002 and a half thousand england fans inside the stadium and it certainly feels like more than that with the atmosphere

building. it is interesting when you think about the challenge ukraine will pose because this is a match that england will feel confident about winning when they have at such about winning when they have at such a good record against them. they have only lost once to ukraine back in 2009 and you can probably see the england players behind mejust going through that pre—match warm up. they will know about the challenge that they will face, certainly as far as ukraine are concerned, managed now ijy ukraine are concerned, managed now by andriy shevchenko who was a brilliant player and now managing his side and is opposite gareth southgate tonight. but england will concentrate on what they have to do, harry kane there, hoping he will produce more about the tonight. he certainly has his shooting boots on in this tournament so far. having scored for england against germany in the last match in that brilliant victory which came at wembley. they were cheered on by some 40,000 in excess there. it feels that they are for harry kane, the england captain,

that the tournament has come alive for him because he faced a bit of criticism in the lead up having some at sluggish performances i think it is fair to say in the tournament so far and it was raheem sterling who has provided the goals for england so far in that opening group game against croatia, they drew in scotland with their second group game and then it was raheem sterling on the scoresheet once again as they beat the czech republic in their final group game. harry kane back in the goals against germany as it was raheem sterling and it is interesting to know the slightly more attacking line that gareth southgate has gone with tonight. he has been criticised a little in the tournament for not letting the brakes offer. he has been set up his side so he is hard to beat, but now they are turning to more attacking players to stop mason mount, who missed out against germany having to self—isolate after you close contact with the billy gilmour after the scotland game, he of course missed out on the final group game, but he

is back in the side tonight. that gives england the opportunity to build things going forward and a lot i'm sure it will go through him. the interesting pick as well is jadon sancho, his first start in the tournament so far. are slightly more attacking feel to this england side, but they will not want to, certainly, you have to consider the challenge that ukraine will pose. they have to be professional tonight, england, that is for certain. g ., tonight, england, that is for certain. . ,, tonight, england, that is for certain. g ., . ,, tonight, england, that is for certain. , ., . ~' , certain. k, john, thank you very much. with me now are fans from the association of ukrainians in great britain. welcome to all of you, i think we only have four of you on the screen, we should have five. we have four of you tonight, it is lovely to have you tonight, it is lovely to have you with us on bbc news this evening. how are you feeling about this evening? how nervous are you or

as the team arrived at the stadium earlier, my colleague lukwesa burak spoke to former england midfielder darren anderton, who was in the euro 96 squad. he spoke about the emotions he felt on the night of the semifinal and how the squad might be feeling tonight. a lot of emotions, such a big game, semifinal. football is coming home, reverberated around the stadium before the game. i think everyone remembers the national anthem that night that was so special. an incredible occasion. unfortunately, we got the only goal does make goal, then they equalised and we had a good couple of chances in extra time, gazza so close to getting that golden goal and then it goes to penalties which we felt very confident of it because we beat spain on penalties ate a few days earlier but it was not meant to be and are really strange feeling when that last penalty kick when tim from

the germans. not a good feeling. you know how gareth operates, what will he be doing right now? he know how gareth operates, what will he be doing right now?— he be doing right now? he will be very chilled. _ he be doing right now? he will be very chilled, very _ he be doing right now? he will be very chilled, very thorough i he be doing right now? he will be very chilled, very thorough in i very chilled, very thorough in everything that they have done before the last few days, looking at the ukraine team, probably having a little words with players individually, just as they go around the pitch and the changing room before the game. he is not a ranter or a raver, although lots of other staff there helping him. he will try and keep the boys are nice and calm before it all begins. haifa and keep the boys are nice and calm before it all begins.— before it all begins. how much has 96 haunted — before it all begins. how much has 96 haunted him? _ before it all begins. how much has 96 haunted him? he _ before it all begins. how much has 96 haunted him? he has _ before it all begins. how much has 96 haunted him? he has been i before it all begins. how much has 96 haunted him? he has been so i before it all begins. how much has i 96 haunted him? he has been so calm about it as he delivered in that the germany match.— about it as he delivered in that the germany match. yes, he did, and that is no surprise- — germany match. yes, he did, and that is no surprise- i— germany match. yes, he did, and that is no surprise. i think _ germany match. yes, he did, and that is no surprise. i think the _ germany match. yes, he did, and that is no surprise. i think the way - is no surprise. i think the way gareth handled at euro 96 within itself, to continue his career in such a good way, it is no surprise to see him doing so well at managing england. he was always at such a

calm influence on a football pitch, in a changing room, read the game so well and hejust does not in a changing room, read the game so well and he just does not get over phased by a great result like against germany or not such a good performance like against scotland and that is what you need is players. you cannot go crazy either way and he isjust players. you cannot go crazy either way and he is just such a calming influence and his knowledge of the game is fantastic. {lilia influence and his knowledge of the game is fantastic.— game is fantastic. ok, the game itself, a game is fantastic. ok, the game itself. a lot _ game is fantastic. ok, the game itself, a lot of _ game is fantastic. ok, the game itself, a lot of people _ game is fantastic. ok, the game itself, a lot of people saying i game is fantastic. ok, the game | itself, a lot of people saying that we have seen a very strong defence so far. it is about time we started attacking more. what you make of all that? i attacking more. what you make of all that? 4' attacking more. what you make of all that? ~ ., attacking more. what you make of all that? ~ . , that? i think we are playing winning football, which _ that? i think we are playing winning football, which is _ that? i think we are playing winning football, which is what _ that? i think we are playing winning football, which is what it _ that? i think we are playing winning football, which is what it is - that? i think we are playing winning football, which is what it is all- football, which is what it is all about in a tournament. i for one it was really excited by all the attacking talent we have within the squad to go and entertain and win games that comes doubly and everything else, my only worry was how would we be defensively and i think that gareth has addressed that. he hasn't seen that himself,

he knows that maybe against big teams, better players, we might not be as strong as we need to be defensively. —— he has seen that himself he has a dress that is taken away from that attacking flair we have had, we do not want to win today 1—0, we want to be 3—0 and clean sheets are what when you tournaments and that is what we have seen so far. maybe there will be a couple of changes today, maybe they will bring in a couple of the boys to be more attacking minded, of course against germany you have to be very wary of what they do going forward. ifeel there be very wary of what they do going forward. i feel there will be a lot of possession in the game at night and it may well need one of those boys like jack grealish or mason mount or a phil foden —type player to unlock their defence. mount or a phil foden -type player to unlock their defence.— to unlock their defence. former encland to unlock their defence. former england midfielder _
