a tournament semi—final against denmark, you take that every time, so at wembley, i think it is not in doubt at all. ukraine's fans found solace in equalling their greatest run in a major international football tournament. translation: ukraine got to the quarter—finals and lost to england. there are no weak rivals in the quarter—finals, this is not a problem. england got off to a flying start. harry kane slotted home a superb pass from stirling after only four minutes. barely a minute into the second half, maguire powered home a headerfrom shaw's freekick to give england some breathing space. four minutes later, shaw provided a perfect cross, headed in from six yards by kane. then it was england's forth from substitute henderson, his first international goal on his 62nd appearance. it was a fifth successive clean sheet for a jubilant england.

on a night that was beautiful for football with the weather, i think inspired the players and they gave a fantastic performance. england face denmark in the semifinals after they beat the czech republic in baku. they lead from the fifth minute when delaney evaded his marker to head in from a corner. they made it 2—0 just before halftime with dolberg volleying in a superb cross from mailler. but it was the czech republic's schick volleying the next one in, his fifth, taking him level to cristiano ronaldo in the race for the golden boot. yet denmark held on. standing between them and the final is gareth southgate�*s england. it's the chance to make history, we have never been to european champions league

final, so it is not so much pressure for this team, it's another challenge that they can lift up at the challenge and take on. the bbc commentator described feeling for england's fans during the ukraine match as the greatest therapy session, watching england you've ever had. they will soon find out of this competition also offers a lasting cure to years of hurt. mark lobel, bbc news. ed has been quite a night for england's fans. we have been getting some reactions. a carnival atmosphere among england fans near barnsley. if there were any nerves, they soon disappeared. afterjust soon disappeared. after just four soon disappeared. afterjust four minutes hurricane opened

so they're now looking to demolish it before elsa makes landfall. this will protect our search and rescue teams because we don't know when it could fall over and, of course, with these gusts, potentially, that would create a really severe hazard. that means boring into the structure of the building in order to install explosives — a precarious proposition given how unstable it has become. 0nce complete, however, the effort will give officials their first access to the garage area, which has been the focus of the search so far. meanwhile, residents of another miami apartment building have been evacuated after engineers came across concrete and electrical problems. their building isjust seven miles from the one that collapsed. there, two more bodies were discovered overnight, bringing the total confirmed dead to 24. david willis, bbc news, washington.

the storm that's forecast to hit miami on sunday is already expected to cause damage to haiti and the dominican republic before heading north to the us. people in haiti are being told to leave their homes and officials there say the whole country is threatened by the storm. it already has sustained gusts of over 130 kilometres an hour. haiti is particularly vulnerable to flooding and landslides because of heavy deforestation. the us national hurricane center says elsa could bring tidal surges of up to two metres above normal levels. to canada now. the military is on standby to help evacuate towns and fight more than 170 wildfires. record breaking high temperatures mean the government is warning of a long and challenging summer ahead. british colombia is badly hit with many fires caused by intense lightning storms. well earlier i spoke to elizabeth wolkovich, who's a climate change scientist from the university of british columbia.

i asked whether she was suprised by the extreme wildfires affecting british columbia this year. it is certainly a surprise to anyone it is certainly a surprise for anyone living through it but british columbia is like california, a system used to wildfires, they are natural here, however, with climate change we have made them much worse. they cover enormous areas now and the fire season certainly feels like it is starting earlier and earlier. it feels like it is starting earlier and earlier, what can be done? we will get into the wider issues in a little bit, but locally, more locally, what can be done to try and mitigate this? certainly the services in british columbia, the military the firefighters, are doing what they can to put in fire breaks to start fires but most of the addiction to make ignition sources in british columbia are natural, so there is no real way to

reduce the number of fires we have in the materials to burn, given the heat wave in the droughts, the ground is hard, the vegetation is dry, it is the perfect material for a fire, it makes it really hard for firefighters to do theirjob and try to contain the virus. to perhaps really interesting and frustrating, to say the least, it feels like there is not that can be done. 0n the wider aspects of climate change, i am assuming you are calling for whole scale global changes? yes, certainly, it is really hard for people to deal with the wildfire system when it's constantly changing, so historically in british columbia we would rarely have such large fires, so early. the fires would very rarely cover this much land, in 2017 we had wildfires in southern bc that were twice as big then we had any time in historical record, so without having a path forward for when we stop global emissions, it's really hard to plan because it willjust continue to get worse. that's interesting, the data from 2017.

in your eyes it is absolutely unequivacal — the size and scale is like nothing you have seen before? yes, there have been studies done to show that the 2017 fires were an order of magnitude that we have not seen before. what is the mood and public perception? the policy debate there about how to try and tackle this? the mood is great concern because it just turned july, that is much earlier than people like myself are used to worrying about wildfires, we usually worry in latejuly and august, so weathered just —— with itjust being end ofjune and started july, there is concern about what will happen for the rest of the summer. it is very unlikely to rain here before september so that means there is not much relief in sight from mother nature, and in terms of policy, i think honestly, for british columbia, this is still rather new. california has had a string of really bad fires, british columbia has started to have multiple years of bad fires but i think we are still

struggling with what to do, and part of that is because the main thing to do is to reduce emissions so that we actually have a path forward, to know what we will be dealing with, notjust this year but in the next decades. elizabeth wolkovich there. let's get some of the day's other news: indonesia has imposed a partial lockdown in the capital jakarta, across the main island ofjava and on bali as it deals with an unprecedented wave of coronavirus infections. mosques, restaurants and shopping malls were closed in virus hot spots. on friday it recorded 25,000 new cases alone with 80% of them being the delta variant. the former president of south africa jacob zuma has for now avoided going to jail after the constitutional court agreed to hear his appeal against a 15—month sentence. mr zuma was due to hand himself in by sunday or face arrest for failing to appear before a corruption inquiry. cyprus has appealed for help

from the european union and israel to tackle a huge wildfire, which one official described as the worst in the country's history. the blaze is spreading through an area north of the cities of limassol and larnaca and has forced the evacuation of several villages. dozens of properties have been damaged but no casualties have been reported. tens of thousands of people in cities across brazil have been protesting against the government of president jair bolsonaro, calling for his resignation over his handling of the coronavirus pandemic. the demonstrations were triggered by recent allegations of corruption involving the purchase of vaccines by the health ministry. mr bolsonaro denies any wrongdoing. here's thais carranka, from bbc brazil. she told us what the atmosphere was like at the protests. well, yeah, iamjust

back from the protest here in sao paulo, itjust started about two hours ago, so still picking up. yeah, it's very vibrant and very full of people, the audience is quite different from the pro—bolsonaro protests that we have seen recently, which were mostly middle aged and elderly people, now we have quite a young audience that is joining this protest. yeah, people are very fuelled by the recent denounces of corruption in the politicians, of the dangerous vaccines, so the protests are very full today because of the corruption scandal that has been picking up steam this week. you are watching bbc news, the headlines:

england's footballers are through to the semifinals of euro 2020, after a 4—0 victory over ukraine. they'll now play denmark, while italy will take on spain in the other semifinal. in miami, an approaching storm accelerates plans to demolish the rest of the apartment block where 2a people died and more than a 120 are missing. president biden says the us isn't certain who is behind a ransomware cyber attack which has hit 200 american businesses and one of sweden's biggest supermarket chains. he said "the initial thinking was it was not the russian government but we're not sure yet,". co—op sweden says it's had to close around 500 of its stores temporarily after checkouts began crashing on friday evening. cybersecurity firm huntress labs said the hack

first targeted a florida—based it company kaseya before spreading through corporate networks that use its software. kaseya is now urging customers who use its data visualisation tool to immediately shut down their servers. well, earlier i spoke to bryan cunningham, who's executive director of the cyber security policy & research institute at university college irvine. i asked him who he thought was behind this most recent ransomware attack. it seems fairly clear that the attack methodology is consistent with the so—called revil software attack group, which is based in russia and eastern europe. i think what president biden was doing was being appropriately cautious, because at the beginning of any of these events you don't know for sure. but it's very difficult for me to believe that an attack of this magnitude could be launched by a russia or eastern europe—based criminal group without the russian government at least knowing about it and acquiescing, if not being actually behind it. 0k, well, let's take that as a working hypothesis. obviously we don't know for certain, but if that is true,

what do you think the response of the biden administration should be? well, i think the president has appropriately warned president putin that if this kind of behaviour continues, either with or without his consent but originating from russian territory, the united states will respond. and i think if it's proven that this was coming from russia, we will have to respond. 0k, what do you mean by "respond"? whether that means only going after the actual attacking group as we did with the last ransomware attack, where we recovered a lot of the ransom money paid and possibly crippled some of their operations, or we actually go further and demonstrate to the russian government that we have the capability to attack their critical infrastructure if we decide to do so, i'm not sure. my guess is we would respond incrementally, working our way up to more serious responses. so maybe the next one would be seizing all of the ransom moneys back and putting this group out of business, and then if it happens again, attacking actual russian infrastructure.

so in attacking actual russian infrastructure, are you advocating effectively a kind of more open, more public tit—for—tat? isn't there a risk there of escalation? a very serious risk. i have been working in this area for over 20 years, including two us administrations, and you always have to calculate not only the actual risk that when you strike at something, whether it's a power grid or a financial institution, you'll miss your target and/or cause collateral damage by hitting other targets than the ones you meant, and/or the risk that your adversary will miscalculate your intention and then escalate further than you're ready for.

so, yes, it is definitely risky, but i think it's gone beyond time to just warn putin. i think we do have to at least show him that we can put some of his critical infrastructure and his finances at risk, even if we don't actually attack them. brya n bryan cunningham. the resort island of phuket in thailand is welcoming back international tourists for the first time in 15 months. before the pandemic hit, phuket was the second biggest tourist destination in the country, generating over $14 billion in revenue in 2019. now the thai government hopes to see the economy in the region pick up again, as it allows fully vaccinated international tourists from low risk countries to travel to the island without the need for a quarantine. anthony lark is the president of the phuket hotels association. he told me how the system is going to work.

the system is quite simple. if people who have been vaccinated from those countries that are low—risk or medium—risk are interested to come to phuket for a holiday and not quarantine, they apply to the thai embassy of the country of their residency and they get issued certain documents, and they need to obviously be vaccinated. it's actually more simple than it may seem. it's a very careful and strategic system that really is in place to help protect not only the locals of phuket but also other travellers. and i'm presuming there'll be testing there? indeed, when you arrive off the aircraft there is a pcr test at phuket airport and then another one a couple of days later after you check into one of the thai—certified sha hygienic standards hotels. there have been 1,000 people arrive already over the last three days and all of them have tested negative. so we're thrilled with the early results, but it's baby steps.

i see, that is really interesting. it goes without saying, but the tourism industry is so important to that country. indeed. for the last 15 months this island, which probably generates — 90% of it is generated by tourism. all of the economy runs on tourism and there has been no international arrivals. it's been devastating for local people, especially for the kids in hotels and restaurants, boat operators — everybody. so this is a glimmer of hope and a ray of light after 15 months of a long, dark tunnel. and what about numbers? how long do you expect it will take to get back up to pre—pandemic levels? as i said, it's very much a baby steps approach in the early days. this is the first initiative that has happened in the asia—pacific region, so we're very careful about it. but we expect injuly and august and september for occupancies in the hotels to move from sub—10% levels up to maybe 20%. and then as the winter

hits in northern europe and all the snowbirds are looking for a dry, sunny, warm holiday, we're expecting europeans and scandinavians to bolster that to maybe 40% or 50% in the hotels. 0k. it's nothing near what it was pre—pandemic, though. anthony lark. ukraine's government has been criticised for asking its female soldiers to march in high heels. the country is holding a military parade next month to mark 30 years of independence following the collapse of the soviet union. the bbc�*s zhanna bez pia chook is in kiev. she says many battle—weary frontline soldiers are not

impressed. the most interesting, important reactions in this case are the opinions of the female officers who fought on the front line, who served in the army or now work in the ranks of the army. i spoke to some of them and they told me that for them it's humiliating. despite all these formal explanations of the defence ministry — which even posted the pictures of other armies' parades in their social media accounts to prove that other armies sometimes ask their women to wear these high—heeled shoes — but despite all these arguments and reasons and explanations, they think that they shouldn't be distinguished in that particular way in the official ceremonies. maybe the big significance is the war in eastern ukraine in which women showed just as equals, very often, to men in the battlefield.

thanks to zhanna there. a french swimmer who's trying raise awareness of river pollution by swimming the length of the river seine in france has reached paris. arthur germain has already been swimming for 28 days, after setting off from the source of the seine in eastern france. he was met in paris by its mayor, anne hidalgo, who is also his mum. during his epicjourney he's already collected more than 1,000 samples of water in order to identify polluted areas of the river. he swims 15 kilometres a day while pulling 90 kilograms of food and equipment on a kayak tied behind him. that is it from me. you can

reach me on twitter. i'm @lvaughanjones. iam i am lewis vaughanjones, and this is bbc news. bye—bye.
