underlines in the's credentials as genuine contenders now for the tournament this year, if the atmosphere and the occasion of the lack of fans as setting the conditions here were a concern for england, they showed no signs of it as they got off to a brilliant start, harry kane scoring his second goal of the tournament inside four minutes. that set the perfect platform for england to then build upon. they of course got their second goal, it came from a free kick, across my luke shaw was headed home by harry maguire, gareth southgate, the england manager had been left little frustrated but they came good for him, a brilliant cross and a brilliant header from came good for him, a brilliant cross and a brilliant headerfrom harry maguire. it wasn't long before england soon had their third, it was a brilliant piece of control and a lovely move from raheem sterling as the manchester united defender luke shaw was able to cross again, harry kane heading home his second goal in

10:06 pm
navigating these tricky waters. it is the way he conducts himself in the press, media, public, and as we know, he has rebuilt that relationship with the fans. he is very astute in this role and she continues to do so, he never gets too high, he never gets too low and continues to conduct himself in a very admirable manner and i can only think that is going to fare england well as this hype, the pressure, the tour, isn't no doubt going to build as we head into the semi final and inevitably look beyond that to the final to become —— to come, such has been a disappointment at major tournaments, it is inevitable that we do that but with gareth southgate at the helm, as i say, he has conducted himself well, he gets decisions right on and off the pitch and, yes, denmark, you have got to appreciate what they will bring, and they had been swept along through this wave of emotion after what
10:07 pm
happened to them and their player christian eriksen in the opening match, they certainly produced the goals, knocking out wales in the last 16 and progressing through today to make the semifinals. it will be an interesting match to come but england do have that booster returning to wembley in front of even more fans back in london and i guess it is set up beautifully now for england and it gareth southgate can continue to do what he has done already, you feel perhaps that england do have arguably one of the best opportunities now to arrest that disappointing run that they have had in major tournaments, and i think perhaps the fans, yes, we'll begin to believe tonight, having booked their place in the semifinals of euro 2020. booked their place in the semifinals of euro 2020-_ booked their place in the semifinals of euro 2020. thank you, john. let's talk more about _ of euro 2020. thank you, john. let's talk more about the _ of euro 2020. thank you, john. let's talk more about the fans, _ of euro 2020. thank you, john. let's talk more about the fans, erection, i talk more about the fans, erection, and we can cross to greg mckenzie who has been with the bands in london. interesting to see... no jeopardy, no shredded nerves, with a

10:11 pm
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, 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.
10:12 pm
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 age.
10:13 pm
officials say 2a 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. there'd been heavy rainfall in the area 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 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
10:14 pm
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 fear 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. 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.
10:15 pm
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 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.

(tx next) the 18 year old beat the world number 45 sorana cirstea in straight sets. joe wilson reports from the all england club. the big occasion, the new player — how would she react?
10:17 pm
from the start, britain's emma raducanu was herself on number one court. but what teenager goes anywhere without their phone? top of the court, here comes the raducanu speciality — that shot. now, look closely — do you see any doubt? when the first set ended like this... oh, that's in! ..something special was happening — the court felt it. sorana cirstea, top of the screen, aged 31, ranked 45 in the world, used every shot she knew, but raducanu just had more. a match point to match any. 16 women's players left next week — emma raducanu is one of them. 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?" so...i think i'm going to have to do some laundry tonight, but i think they have a laundry service at the hotel, i'm all good, guys! cameron norrie was summoning centre court to help him against roger federer,
10:18 pm
and the british player won the third set. federer, however, won three sets, and that means no british men left in the singles. 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 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
10:19 pm
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 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

big wagon and britain needs tens of thousands more drivers right now. when schools first closed to help prevent the spread of coronavirus last year it left many students with some spare time on their hands, between online lessons. 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, makenzy 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 notjust 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. now it's time for a look at the weather with nick miller. hello. with low pressure close by there is a chance of getting some rain wherejune was much drier than average but yet again on saturday, northern scotland stayed mainly dry and here there was the best of the uk's sunshine, whereas elsewhere plenty of cloud and more rain where over the past few weeks it has been quite wet and there will be further downpours running into southern areas as we start sunday. there is the area of low pressure and the low

pressure is sticking around, getting a further boost from a wet and windy weather system arriving from the south on monday night as we will see in a moment. but for part two of the weekend, we are dodging the downpours, initially across southern areas and developing more widely as the day goes on. there will be some heavy thunderstorms in places. as ever, some will avoid them and stay dry. if you catch one, there is a chance of flooding. hail, lightning are further hazards, so bear that in mind if you have travel plans. highs into the high teens and 20s, still feeling rather humid out there. with light winds, some of these is downpours will stick around for a period of time. some will rumble on as we go into sunday evening. that said, there will be some fairly warm, sunny spells around some of these downpours. low pressure is still anchored to the west of us going into monday, but here is a system forming to the south—west which is going to make quite an impact overnight and into tuesday. but first up on monday, still an area of cloud, showers, some potentially thundery downpours affecting scotland. elsewhere it is a drier looking day
10:27 pm
bar a few showers and here comes the rain from the next developing area of low pressure bearing down on the south—west to end the day. sweeping another spell of heavy rain and strengthening winds with a risk of gales places on the southern plank of that system across southern parts as we go into tuesday. low pressure right across us on tuesday. it may well stall an area of rain across parts of northern england, perhaps into wales. may not be exactly in this position, so we will have to keep a close eye on that. may well pivot towards parts of eastern scotland, so we will keep an eye on that too. elsewhere there will be showers, some of which could be heavy and thundery. may also see a bit of sunshine. worth pointing out the temperatures though, they are below average for the time of year. many of us just in the teens. it will be a breezy picture going into wednesday as well around that area of low pressure which is by that stage close to scotland and clearing northwards. a flow of air coming at us from the atlantic. some sunny spells, but clearly this

rash of showers indicating that we will be dodging the downpours again and for the most part temperatures are at but more likely to be below average for the time of year. high pressure trying to ridge in towards us during thursday and indeed for that matter on friday, but it stays fairly unsettled and although there will not be areas of widespread rain, there will still be the chance of picking up showers, perhaps a heavy one too. but certainly by friday, they become a little less widespread. it may just start to feel a little warmer because you get to see a bit more in the way of sunshine. but there is the prospect for further interruptions as we go through another week of wimbledon, with showers or indeed some spells of rain before it turns quieter later in the week. and then just looking ahead to the next weekend, high pressure may be close towards the south—east. low pressure advancing again from the atlantic. more favouring i think northern and western parts of the uk with any rain out of that. so although perhaps not as going to be as widespread wet
10:29 pm
over the weekend and the start of the week ahead, still the chance of seeing some wet weather continuing even into next weekend. we will keep you updated.
