blistering start. commentator: sterling's got it - through to kane now and harry kane has found the net! well, that didn't take long! just look what it meant to the captain — his second in as many games. the england cavalry kept coming with sterling a constant threat and declan rice with a rebound shot that got gareth off his seat. there were a couple of wobbly moments at the back. a second england goal would certainly calm the nerves. there's maguire! just what england wanted! the fans affectionately dub him �*slab head' for his heading ability. maguire cemented england's lead. the pressure was on. luke shaw didn't stop harrying and the ball for harry was sublime. ukraine blown away! england on their way! that was two goals inside four minutes. but the fans who had come from all over europe wanted more. jordan henderson duly obliged. iliiui’itli over europe wanted more. jordan henderson duly obliged.- henderson duly obliged. with the corner, there's _ henderson duly obliged. with the corner, there's another _ henderson duly obliged. with the corner, there's another one! -

6:05 am
dream because that's goal line surpassed even the greatest of english expectations last night and here we are outside the arc of triumph at the coliseum whether gladiators used to do battle and actually, england so overpowered ukraine that as the fans were coming out of the stadio olimpico, they were telling us they never expected this level of performance and of course gareth southgate, his cautious tactics have been vindicated with this performance and the fact that england are going to the fact that england are going to the semi—finalfor the the fact that england are going to the semi—final for the first time in 25 years. of course inside the stadium, it was england fans from across the eu that were representing and making sure the three lions's role could be heard inside because those in the uk were not allowed to travel and of course the same goes the other way migratory so both here will not be able to follow england back for the game against denmark on wednesday but they are definitely

question! don't say it. don't even think it! the health secretary sajid javid says there is a "compelling" case that easing covid restrictions will improve the country's health. writing in the mail on sunday, mrjavid — who took over from matt hancock a week ago — said england remains "on track" for a relaxation of the rules onjuly the 19th. our political correspondent chris mason reports. this is the new man at the department of health. he says that when he came off the phone last weekend, having been offered the job of health secretary via the prime minister, his teenage daughter said, sarcastically, " you don't have much to sort out then, dad." a week into thejob he is making clear he wants to get rid of covid—i9 restrictions in england quickly for the sake of people's health. he says england is on track for the final stage of unlocking later this month and adds:
6:10 am
he blames the rules imposed for more than a year now for causing what he describes as a shocking rise in domestic violence and a terrible impact on mental health. the government is expected to set out the broad direction of travel it hopes to follow in england in the next few days. with a shift away from rules and towards personal responsibility. big decisions still have to be taken on, for instance, social distancing and masks. chris mason, bbc news. the home office has announced plans to increase prison sentences for migrants trying to reach the uk illegally on boats and for those behind the crossings. under the legislation, the maximum jail term for entering the country unlawfully will rise to four years,

whilst people smugglers who arrange the journeys would face a life sentence. search efforts for survivors of a partially collapsed apartment block near miami have been suspended ahead of the controlled demolition of the rest of the building. the destruction of the site is being brought forward overfears of an approaching storm. champlain towers south collapsed just over a week ago. 24 people are known to have died, and more than 120 are missing. david willis reports. for those leading the painstaking recovery effort, it's now a race against time. a tropical storm is bearing down on miami, packing winds of up to 70 mph. officials fear tropical storm elsa could send what remains of the apartment complex toppling on to those on the ground, so they're now looking to demolish it before elsa makes landfall. this will protect our search
6:12 am
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. once 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. supermarket chain morrisons has accepted a £63 billion takeover bid
6:13 am
by a us investment group, led by the owner of majestic wine. last month, the supermarket group turned down an offer worth more than £5 billion from a different firm, saying it had significantly undervalued the business. morrisons' chairman andrew higginson said the new offer was fair, and the chain would "continue to prosper". today marks the uk's first ever national thank you day — aimed to celebrate the key workers and volunteers who have worked throughout the pandemic. landmarks including the london eye have been lit up in blue to show appreciation for nhs staff. many people are expected to take part in local events during the day. lots of very deserving thank you is as well. absolutely. coming up to 14 minutes past six and let's check in on the weather which was all over the shop yesterday, matt? it on the weather which was all over the shop yesterday, matt?- on the weather which was all over the shop yesterday, matt? it was and it will be today. _ the shop yesterday, matt? it was and it will be today, good _ the shop yesterday, matt? it was and it will be today, good morning. - the shop yesterday, matt? it was and it will be today, good morning. the i it will be today, good morning. the shop was capped should from one of our weather watchers yesterday across derbyshire. some big storms
6:14 am
around though it is dropped around half a month's worth of rainfall for one or two of you and a risk of the same today but they won't be doom and gloom everywhere, some sunshine around with some places staying dry. starting off wettest in the far north of scotland, we do need rain. in the south though it is pretty wet for wales and southern counties of england. fairly sporadic rain pushing northwards, the odd heavier births extent. it is as —— mixed in. again the potentialfor half a month's worth of rain in the space of an hour or so and southern counties after a wet morning should brighten up. dryer through the afternoon and we are seeing over the next few hours and temperatures not far off yesterday's, a touch fresher, 18—21. in this evening from heavy, thundery downpours in northern england, southern parts of scotland, northern ireland, working northwards through tonight. coming
6:15 am
counties are staying largely dry and like last night, temperatures sticking in double figures, maybe the teens for one or two of you into the teens for one or two of you into the start of the new week. but it will be pretty disturbed start, especially for parts of england and wales, low pressure swinging its way up wales, low pressure swinging its way up which will bring unseasonably strong winds for some of you and get more rain so let's see how the first part of the week develops. i would start the parts of scotland, northern ireland, we will see heavy and fun showers developing here, some lively showers for the far north of england. much of england and wales drier and brighter than we have seen through the weekend. later in the day, we will see cloud increase towards the south, we tend to monday across the channel islands and south—west, and coolerfor all. through monday night, the wet weather towards the south—west will push its way northwards, some heavy rain at times, england and wales especially pushing into the south and east of scotland. the winds will strengthen across the south. should say about 50 miles an hour across some southern counties of england. it will be a lively start to tuesday
6:16 am
morning, not great if you're camping this weekend across the south, particularly monday — tuesday. the west of the heavy rain will clear but heavy showers around, some thundery, the best of the brightness late in the day. a blustery day for many although the winds will ease compared to the gales we've seen to start within the south. through to wednesday morning, more in the way of heavy and thundery showers, a quick look at the capital cities for you. the predominant weatherfor the day is showing across much of the country, the chance you could catch a shower or two with temperatures similar to monday's and tuesday's but into thursday and friday, optimism that not only the winds will fall lighter for many of you but things will turn dryer too with some good sunny spells around as well. and it will feel very pleasant in the sunshine but certainly for the next few days, you will have to content with yet more downpours— not great for parts of northern and ireland on their summer holidays!

cloud increases towards the south and the area of low pressure starts to close its way in. that through monday night will bring strengthening winds, festival heavy rain sweeping northwards across most of england and wales, to rental in places, and into south and east scotland but the wind could be a problem across southern counties of england and south wales because i'd spread gales gusting 40—60 miles an hourin spread gales gusting 40—60 miles an hour in one or two spots, particularly along those english channel coasts and that could cause a little bit of damage and disruption as we head into the start of tuesday. for tuesday we start with heavy rain across parts of northern england, southern scotland, edging its way a bit more into scotland as we go through the day, batches of heavy and thundery showers and winds strongest in the morning but a blustery day nonetheless for the southern half of the country with winds like the further north of the showers that we do see will be fairly slow—moving as we've seen this afternoon and temperatures on tuesday afternoon a little bit fresher than we“ve temperatures on tuesday afternoon a little bit fresher than we've got at the moment at around 17 or 18. i will leave you with a bit of

6:50 am
until that is, she went to india. they say travel is good for the soul and it certainly is. it's a change — it“s broadening my horizons and i've always loved travel. my name is sue pascoe. i love the travel experience and i happen to be a woman with a trans past. so being able to travel now as sue, i'm at peace with myself. and in the past when i travelled, often i was so in my head dealing with my own problems that i didn't always see the beauty around me. it's like the difference between listening to things in stereo and seeing things in 3d. the leaves, the trees, the sounds, so much more of me is in the here and now that all my
6:51 am
senses, um, see things differently. my travel choices, and i think about them quite carefully. one of my trips abroad was to go to india. and going through heathrow was really difficult. there were comments, there were nods, there were — i overheard somebody say, "look at that man in the dress." and i wanted to shrink away. and i got on the plane and i felt really low. the stewardesses were brilliant. i was on a ba flight and they were really, really nice. and...but passengers around me weren“t.
6:52 am
and i could overhear quite a bit of the conversation and it wasn't really pleasant. it was, "what is this person doing in this part of the cabin with us?" and it was. . . not at all pleasant. and so i laid down and put the blanket over me and just shut the world out. but i got off the plane in india and i could not believe and understand or could have comprehended the difference in the way that i was welcomed. i got off the plane, and before i got through the baggage hall, people were coming up to me, putting money in my hand and wanting their picture taken with me. and i couldn't understand this.
6:53 am
and it kept on happening. and what i learned was that in indian culture, i was being regarded as someone who was semi—divine. and that was my moment when i decided that i'd found one place in the world that no matter if everywhere else didn“t accept me as sue, here was a place where i could be sue. today, travelling as a woman with a trans past is culturally significant for me. and seeing how different societies act towards trans people is. . . is fun. the biggest thing that i have on my face today is a smile. and when you interact
6:54 am
with people with a smile, your whole experience is different. now, finally this week, long before the cheeseburger, it was here in london that a more british fast food was invented. we're not talking about fish and chips. this is pie and mash — a simple dish of a beef pie and mashed potato, served with a liquor sauce made with fresh parsley. you“d traditionally find this dish served up in one of the many pie shops that dot working—class parts of the city. but they're fighting for survival and the families who run them are working hard to keep this cockney classic alive. the difference between a good pie and a bad pie? good ingredients first, if you haven't got that, it“s trying to make a silk purse out of sow“s ear, which doesn't really work. so you must have the good
6:55 am
ingredients and then you have to make it properly. you have to make it as it should be, so it's got plenty of meat, a nice drop ofjuice in it, good shortcrust pastry. and then bake it properly in a bloody good oven, and bob“s your uncle, you'll end up with a good pie. pie houses first opened offering cheap, but wholesome food in blue—collar parts of london back in mid—victorian times, and leading the charge with two immigrant families, both newcomers to the city. the manzes from ravello in italy and the cookes from wicklow in ireland. they quickly expanded their pie and mash empires and almost a century and a half later, some of their pie shops are still in business today. i don't know if you can call it special, it's just that it's still, after 150—odd years, a good, solid, basic meal. there's no additives
6:56 am
or colours or anything. the pie shops quickly became a hub for many people in these communities where life could be tough. and are still a kind of home from home for some of their regulars whose families have been coming here for generations. this is one of the customers coming in now, he's been coming in for, oh, a good 40, 50 years. i have grown here and i've seen every shop here been built. i'm 76 and i'm glad to see everyone come in again. over the past 25 years, the fortunes of this part of london have changed. the docks shut and older, more traditional industries disappeared. new high—tech businesses, start—ups and developers moved in. property prices and rents soared and many locals moved away. plus, new immigrant communities have brought their own tastes and flavours and taken on the humble pie. many, many years ago, in the high streets and the markets,
6:57 am
you would have had a cafe, a fish and chip shop and a pie shop. the competition now is almost limitless. consequently, all our portions of the pie have got smaller. 25 years ago, there were close to 60 pie and mash shops in london. now, there are barely 20 left, all of whom have to find new ways to adapt to survive. we now do a vegan pie, i tweaked it so it's vegan now. they can actually come in and eat with their friends, in the shop, which is nice. social media has played a big part in spreading the magic of pie and mash around the world and now brings tourists looking for a slice of traditional, old, working—class london to places like cooks and manze“s, hopefully helping to ensure that they survive for many years to come. 6,945,437 views. i saw a youtube video about this place — how they selljellied eels and the whole process of how the pies are made, so that
6:58 am
looked really nice. i'm grateful that this place has fought for so long. we can come all the way from singapore to try this, like, traditional, blue—collar english food. who needs a michelin star when you can have home—made pie like this served with love and a big dollop of mash? we have people come in literally now from the four corners of the world and they come in and go, "oh, joe! can we have a picture with you?" and some of them come straight from the airport — it“s unreal, it is absolutely unreal. look at thejuice coming out of that! savage your spuds, give them a rinse please. and bob“s your uncle. and that's all we have time for today. and join us next week, when...
6:59 am
7:00 am
to be told- — good morning. welcome to breakfast with rogerjohnson and nina warhurst. our headlines today: a brilliant night for england in rome as they thrash ukraine, and move on to the semifinals of the euros. it's been a long year for everybody and i'm chuffed that the two performances we've put on have brought so much enjoyment and happiness to people. cheering. it was a saturday night to celebrate for fans, with england now one game away from their first major final since 1966. i can't believe it! we“re over the moon! absolutely brilliant. they played amazing. also this morning, the health secretary sajid javid says there's a strong argument that removing coronavirus restrictions will improve the country's health.
7:01 am
and a star performance from britain's newest sensation at wimbledon. 18—year—old emma raducanu, fresh from finishing her a—levels, announces herself on the big stage by reaching the fourth round. and while there will be a bit of sunshine at times for many of you, and a few staying dry, big thunderstorms around again, torrential downpours in places and there's something windier on the way for you tomorrow. i'll have the details here on breakfast. it“s sunday 4th july. our top story: england are heading to theirfirst semifinal at the euros for 25 years after a decisive 4—0 win over ukraine in rome last night. gareth southgate“s side will now head home to wembley to face denmark in the last four on wednesday. our sports correspondent natalie pirks rounds up all the action from the italian capital. commentator: my head is telling me to calm down but my heart is getting i carried away, and long may that continue. what's that feeling, england fans?
7:02 am
optimism orjust pure, unbridled joy? either way, it feels good to be in the semis of the euros for the first time since “96. it“s fabulous. i suppose it's still sinking in a bit, you know? we're in another semifinal — that's three in three years — and — but uppermost in my mind, again, we“ve obviously want to go a step further. we're looking confident out there, so hopefully we can continue that. we've got — the job ain't done yet. we've got a lot more football to play. but, like i said, we're on the right track. this was england's first match away from the comfort blanket of wembley. # happy and glorious. the heat at times made it feel like the blanket was still on but it did not stop england from getting off to a blistering start. sterling's got it through to kane now and harry kane has found the net! well, that didn't take long! just look what it meant to the captain — his second in as many games.
7:03 am
the england cavalry kept coming. sterling a constant threat, declan rice with a rebound shot that got gareth off his seat. there were a couple of wobbly moments at the back. a second goal would certainly calm the nerves. and there's maguire! just what england wanted! the fans affectionately dub him “slab head“ for his heading ability. maguire cemented england's lead. the pressure was on. luke shaw didn't stop harrying and the ball for harry kane was sublime. ukraine blown away! england on their way! that was two goals inside four minutes. but the fans who“d come from all over europe wanted more. jordan henderson duly obliged. with the corner... there's another one! this first goal after 62 caps was england's fourth — yes, fourth — of the night. it wrapped up a victory that, in truth, was never in doubt. we don't stop here.
7:04 am
we've got another big game coming up and we want to go further — further this time than we did in the world cup, so no, yeah, of course, it's a great feeling to win here and the way that we've done it as well shows the big progress that we're making as a country, so no, long may the improvement continue. england—based fans couldn't come to rome but now football is coming home with 60,000 fans at wembley on wednesday. natalie pirks, bbc news, rome. wonderful scenes. our sports reporterjohn watson is in rome this morning. what a night, john. a huge moment for england but already, the squad is looking ahead to wednesday? yes, good morning. what a night last night, it felt very un— england when you consider they were so far ahead and so often it is a nervous final 20 minutes of england matches at major tournaments and certainly in the knockout stage but it was not the knockout stage but it was not the case last night and it certainly
7:05 am
has the fans going to believe because after that result england are now genuinely contenders for the title this year. it was another brilliant performance once again from raheem sterling who has justified gareth southgate“s faith in him, no end. and after the game last night he took to social media to sayjob done ahead of wednesday's return to wembley when they face denmark, a team and decide they cannot underestimate, can they, heading into the last four of the tournament. and gordon henderson, over 60 for his country and a huge night as he grabbed his first goal for his country and he simply said afterwards it means everything, and you can see by the way he was celebrating after the goal, the fort mac in the 4—0 win. —— fourth.. look at this from england football, showing all three goalscorers back when they were kids having a kickabout, though still winning trophies. it is great for them to see harry
7:06 am
kanein it is great for them to see harry kane in the goals and the tournament has come alive with two goals last night and three for him in five matches in the european championship. prince william tweeted to say it was a top team performance and that he can't wait for wednesday. i don't think anybody can, can they, head of the game to come as england prepared to return to wembley and waterbury step will be once again to be back playing in front the home fans, as they will be for the final, if they can get there, on the 11th ofjuly, and that is a big if and of course southgate will want to keep his players“s feet on the ground, won“t he. we have to show you this this morning. when it comes to celebrating and england win or a big england performance, ross kemp always posts interesting things on social media, and i think you need to watch it for yourself.— social media, and i think you need to watch it for yourself. normally i would be at _ to watch it for yourself. normally i would be at the _ to watch it for yourself. normally i would be at the wrong _ to watch it for yourself. normally i would be at the wrong end - to watch it for yourself. normally i would be at the wrong end of- to watch it for yourself. normally i would be at the wrong end of the i would be at the wrong end of the house _ would be at the wrong end of the house on— would be at the wrong end of the house on my own in isolation. today, i house on my own in isolation. today, lam _ house on my own in isolation. today, lam just— house on my own in isolation. today, i am just about to do a night dive ina i am just about to do a night dive

7:08 am
sarah rainsford is in what i imagine is a rather deflated kyiv this morning. morning, sarah. pretty deflated, re morning, sarah. pretty deflated, pretty dejected _ morning, sarah. pretty deflated, pretty dejected of _ morning, sarah. pretty deflated, pretty dejected of course - morning, sarah. pretty deflated, | pretty dejected of course because ukrainian fans have been so enthusiastic going into the match, not really listening to the statistics so much but following their hearts and although they were telling me they really believed that ukraine had a chance, that they could be defeated— even if they would to be defeated they could at least score a goal and end the clean sheet that england had been clinging to but it was not to be. every time ukraine got the ball, a huge crowd here in the centre of kyiv were cheering like crazy, hoping that their she is good somehow will them on to score but of course it was not to be and every single english goal was met with a kind of stunned silence by the crowd. when the match ended, the fans, something like 10,000 in the fans own we were in in
7:09 am
central kyiv, they applauded and cheered and chanted ukraine because they are taking the positive of this and seeing it as an historic moment and seeing it as an historic moment and they managed to get to the quarterfinal of a european championship the first time ever and is the president of this country wrote on social media, the pain will heal, the hurt will pass. we are upset, he said, but not ashamed. that is the message i was getting from the fans. they did better than they even hope your dad to dream that they could do and this is just the start, they said, —— they had even dared to hope dream. but pretty dejected, hurt all the same here in kyiv this morning.— dejected, hurt all the same here in kyiv this morning. sarah, thank you for speaking to us, we appreciate it. and great that they are taking positives from it and also saying that england are one of the best sides in the world! although gareth southgate“s side had plenty of people cheering them on inside stadio olimpico, many fans were unable to travel from england to the italian capital because of covid restrictions. but back home, millions watched on from their living rooms,
7:10 am
pubs, sports clubs and gardens, as charlotte gallagher reports. cheering. commentator: well, that didn't take long! i one brings two for harry kane! ecstasy on the pitch... cheering. ..and off. cheering. a goaljust four minutes in and england, well, they were just getting started. cheering. in beer gardens, bars and front rooms, millions of england supporters saw their dreams turn to reality. brilliant! brilliant performance! harry kane brilliant. clinical. i guessed 1—0 at work. yes. can't believe it! we're over the moon! absolutely brilliant! they have played amazing. for those lucky enough to watch the match in rome, the mood was electric. england played terrific. best performance i've seen in this tournament so far. best — great goals.
7:11 am
harry kane is back. cannot wait for the semi—final. it feels fantastic! how does it feel? it's amazing! couldn't have — couldn't even have dreamt it. cheering. is it coming home? i hope so. it would be nice, wouldn't it, yeah. it's coming home, it's coming home. # football's coming home! but no matter what country the fans were in, there was only one song on everyone's lips. # football's coming home! and with such a stunning performance, fans were in the mood to party. # it's coming home! confidence which, as an england supporter takes a battering, is now building. brilliant evening. so impressive from the guys and, you know, harry kane leading from the front. and we're not really used to that, but very comfortable, very comprehensive, never in doubt. the atmosphere's been incredible. like, we always knew it was going to be england fans come out for the football. we cannot wait for the game against
7:12 am
the danes on wednesday night. like, best of luck to the danes but we know we're gonna beat them, we know that we're gonna be in that final come next weekend and we can't wait. wembley and the semifinal against denmark now beckons. is football finally — finally — coming home? charlotte gallagher, bbc news. what's more reaction to last night during the course of the programme and we will speak to a couple of former england international is as well but it's 12 minutes past seven and let's move away from football. the health secretary sajid javid says there is a "compelling" case that easing covid restrictions will improve the country's health. writing in the mail on sunday, mrjavid — who took over from matt hancock a week ago — said england remains "on track" for a relaxation of the rules onjuly the 19th. our political correspondent chris mason reports. this is the new man at the department of health. he says that when he came off the phone last weekend,
7:13 am
having been offered the job of health secretary by the prime minister, his teenage daughter said, sarcastically, "you won't have much to sort out then, dad." a week into the job, he is making clear he wants to get rid of covid restrictions in england quickly, for the sake of people's health. he says england is on track for the final stage of unlocking later this month, and adds: he blames the rules imposed for more than a year now for causing what he describes as a shocking rise in domestic violence and a terrible impact on mental health. the government's expected to set out
7:14 am
the broad direction of travel it hopes to follow in england in the next few days with a shift away from rules and towards personal responsibility. big decisions still have to be taken on, for instance, social distancing and masks. chris mason, bbc news. let's get more on this from our political correspondent nick eardley, who's in our london newsroom. nick, the new health secretary is making his intentions clear, isn't he? quite a bold statement for a man a week into thejob? quite a bold statement for a man a week into the job?— week into the “ob? yes, it is and it su: nests week into the “ob? yes, it is and it suggests that— week into the job? yes, it is and it suggests that the _ week into the job? yes, it is and it suggests that the government - week into the job? yes, it is and it suggests that the government is i suggests that the government is starting to move on since some of the restrictions we have got so used to over the last 18 months or so. that use of the world "compelling", is really interesting because compelling suggests to me that sajid javid really wants to see some of the legal restrictions lifted in just over two weeks“ time. some of the things that the government is
7:15 am
going to be looking at and finalising its decision in the next few days are the legal requirement to wear face coverings, on whether we need the one metre plus rule in pubs and restaurants, or whether that can go and allow more people into leisure facilities. other questions like do you still need to use your qr code when you go into places, to check—in. and the rest of that brings, that you will be pinged by the act or something like that. they have been clear that the decisions are not completely finalised, there are some big meetings in the next few days, to make the final decisions. but i think we will get a much clearer picture over the next few days about what that next freedom day on the 19th ofjuly looks like. and it is pretty clear from the line... the language we hear from the pretty clear from the line... the language we hearfrom the health secretary, and other ministers, in england, anyway, rememberthis
7:16 am
secretary, and other ministers, in england, anyway, remember this is all england only, that they are looking at lifting as many of the restrictions as possible.- looking at lifting as many of the restrictions as possible. thank you, nick. cyprus has appealed for international help to tackle a huge wildfire described by officials as the worst in the country's history. the fire is being fanned by strong winds 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. retail bosses are calling on the government to take action against violence and abuse aimed at shop staff. this security footage was released by boots pharmacy to highlight the problems workers face. some of the uk“5 biggest brands are campaigning for greater legal protection for employees. the government said courts should be increasing sentences for such assaults. here“s matt with a look at this morning's weather. it is not particularly... my goodness. it is not particular
7:17 am
summary, i was going to say, and it just looked at that picture, it is stated the obvious! it is just looked at that picture, it is stated the obvious!— just looked at that picture, it is stated the obvious! it is july, same every year- — stated the obvious! it is july, same every year- the _ stated the obvious! it is july, same every year. the scene _ stated the obvious! it is july, same every year. the scene from - stated the obvious! it is july, same i every year. the scene from yesterday in gloucestershire but it gives you an idea of what some of you will see today. torrential downpours for one or two. you could see half a month's worth of rainfall in the space of an hour but not everyone will see them. they will be some sunshine around at times. looking at where we start today on the west side, particularly southern counties and across wales was not the rain on and off through this morning, heavy for some of you and light and patchy for others. north and east, misty and murky, it will stay grey in north—east scotland. one or two showers dotted around at the moment but as we go into the afternoon and temperatures rise, is across the northern half of the country where the heaviest of downpours will be. a bit of sunshine either side so it means some of you will avoid the showers altogether and where we are starting wet, southern counties of england should be a dry afternoon with more in the

way of sunshine. still warm enough in that son. through this evening and overnight, the showers and storms continue or parts of southern scotland, england, northern ireland. they will drift further north. the showers and storms will start to wane a little bit but across the south, many will be dry leading to mist and fog. temperatures for most around 12— 15 degrees as we start the new week but not a great start to the new week. if we look at the pressure chart, and unseasonably deep area of low pressure moving across the country which will bring some wet weather and windy weather monday night into tuesday. looking at the details for monday, more in the way of outbreaks of rain with heavy downpours upon across parts of scotland, northern ireland, or persistent rain into the north of scotland where we desperately need the rain at the moment but across much of wales, central, southern england, the bulk of the day will be dry with a few showers around and that changes later on with a cooler day as the cloud pushes and from the south and then more persistent rain.
7:19 am
this is where it gets interesting. monday night and into tuesday morning, first of all, a band of heavy rain sweeping north across england and wales and the rain could be torrential in places. the wind is also strengthening so as we go into wednesday morning, wind gusts of 40-60 wednesday morning, wind gusts of 40—60 mph with study —— southern counties in particular and around the english channel. take note if you are spending a few days under canvas as we go into the start of next week. it will be a wild and windy start first thing tuesday. persistent rain or slide its way into the south and east of scotland. how far west it goes, we will have to keep a very close eye on. if you see showers which could be heavy and binary, they will be slow—moving. further south, any showers whip across the sky quite quickly and the breeze and sunshine in between. more showers to come on wednesday but as we go into the end of the week, at least it does look a little bit dry. back to you both. it is all-too-familiar! - back to you both. it is. all-too-familiar! thank back to you both. it is - all-too-familiar! thank you, back to you both. it is all—too—familiar! thank you, matt.

one of the uk“5 biggest supermarkets, morrisons, says it has accepted a £63 billion takeover bid from a us investment group, led by the owner of majestic wine. there are 500 morrisons stores in the uk, with more than 100,000 people employed by the company. the firm“s directors are recommending shareholders approve the deal. we“re joined now by retail analyst ged futter. good to see you and lovely to have you here in the flesh. first of all, what does it mean when there is a takeover bid? why would this happen? it means there are a group of investors that see that opportunities to make more money. that is what we have with morrison's. they think the price on the stock exchange is actually less than that it is at the moment. 50 than that it is at the moment. so the shareholders, the people to whom morrison's belong at the moment, are being advised saying this is a good price, this is as good as it is going to get, take the money. the share price — going to get, take the money. tie: share price was about 1.78 and now
7:21 am
it is to pound 54. you can see that is a fair and reasonable price, is what the morrison's board is saying. you can understand why the hundred thousand or so staff at morrisons are feeling a little bit twitchy. what we know about the company that is taking over. what impact will it have on the people that work there? one of the things we see from this is actually that morrisons have spent a number of months, since the start of may, talking to this group of investors. and what they have made absolutely clear to investors, if you want to buy this business, these other things that are important to us. we have factories and over 100,000 colleagues that work for us and we have suppliers so if you want to buy our business then there are certain conditions that we need you to do, to make sure that you are protecting all of these important people. but you are protecting all of these important people.— you are protecting all of these important people. but at the end of the da , important people. but at the end of the day. this _ important people. but at the end of the day. this is _ important people. but at the end of the day, this is about _ important people. but at the end of the day, this is about making - important people. but at the end of. the day, this is about making money, isn“t the day, this is about making money, isn't it? so how do workers and customers know that those elements, those stipulations, will be protected?—

of the rest of the building. the destruction of the site is being brought forward over fears of an approaching storm. champlain towers south collapsed just over a week ago. 24 people are known to have died, and more than 120 are missing. david willis reports. for those leading the painstaking recovery effort, it's now a race against time. a tropical storm is bearing down on miami, packing winds of up to 70 mph. officials fear tropical storm elsa could send what remains of the apartment complex toppling on to those on the ground, 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, you know, 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. once 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. for many parents across the uk, the school drop—off can be a logistical nightmare. but now, residents living near one school who have grown so fed up of the influx of traffic each morning and afternoon have chosen to take a stand, providing another obstacle for families to contend with, as philip norton reports.

7:31 am
game and imagine how high the bar has been set because this is the first time england have made it through to the semifinals of the euros in wendy five years, a quarter of a decade, and inside the stadio olimpico there were some fears that the three lions would not be represented because fans could not travel from england to italy because of the covid travel restrictions but they came from across the eu to represent and make sure that the fans who could not be there had a sense of the sphere and the occasion and here we are right outside the coliseum where the gladiators did title and actually, last night, it was really a vindication of gareth southgate, psych —— gareth southgate“s pushes tactics, it was such a comprehensive win that now looking ahead to next week and the semifinal against denmark on wednesday, they will be confident, and i can confirm for now at least, in terms of the semifinals, football is definitely coming home and actually there were people here

commentator: 0h! it's in! ..something special was happening. the court felt it. sorana cirstea, top of the screen, tried every shot she knew in a match point to match any. cheering. 16 women's players left next week. emma raducanu is one of them. i want to stay here for as long as possible but i think in terms of, like, long—term goals, my dream is to win wimbledon. i think it's such a special grand slam, it's my home slam and the support is just incredible. like, this is my first year here and i'm just having such a blast. cameron norrie was summoning centre court to help him against roger federer, and the british player won the third set. federer, however, won three sets, and that means no british men left in the singles. well, on sunday, wimbledon rests. we could spend the dayjust imagining what emma raducanu might do next.

her next opponent looks beatable, but there's no pressure. as she showed us, it's all about pleasure. joe wilson, bbc news, wimbledon. yes, an exciting week for her. the british & irish lions started their tour of south africa in perfect fashion after thrashing sigma lions injohannesburg. it was a shame no fans were allowed inside ellis park because they would have seen a fantastic performance from josh adams, as joe lynskey reports. one of sport“s great events starts in the silence. this lions“ tour of south africa is different. the players“ life in a bubble is the hotel and the pitch. but they're here. louis rees—zammit is 20. he's the youngest lion since the “805, and now had scored on his debut. this warm—up match with sigma lions was this team's opportunity. in the next three weeks, they play for their place. here, scotland's ali price got his platform. his first lions try was one of eight they scored, and wales“josh adams got four of them.
7:36 am
with speed like this, he'll get more through the weeks. this was the dominant start the british & irish lions expected, in a stadium at altitude in a locked—down city. the first test with south africa is later this month. but this year, just playing through to the end would be a victory. joe lynskey, bbc news. ireland came out on top after a thrilling nine—try encounter against japan. the lead changed hands eight times during the match, but ireland's fifth and final try from jacob stockdale here secured a 39—31win in dublin. wales thrashed canada in cardiff but their win was overshadowed by a serious knee injury to leigh halfpenny in the first minute. this in his 100th international. wales went on to run in ten tries in a 68—12 victory, jonah holmes with the last of them. defending champion tadej pogacar has taken the lead at the tour de france, while geraint thomas“ hopes of winning the yellowjer5ey are effectively over.
7:37 am
the welshman finished stage 8 in a group that was 35 minutes behind and he's dropped to 45th place after struggling as the race hit the alps. but pogacar looks like the man to beat. he left his competitors behind in the mountains and now leads by almost two minutes. less than a day after signing a 2—year contract to continue racing for mercedes, lewis hamilton will be wondering whether he can stop max ver5tappen winning the formula 1 championship. for the second week in a row, the dutchman claimed pole position at the red bull ring in austria. he was almost beaten by britain's lando norris, just 500ths of a second slower. hamilton could only manage fourth on the grid. england women lost the third one day international against india by four wickets in worcester. india captain mithali raj was the star of the show. not only did she become the leading run—scorer in women's international cricket, but she also hit the winning runs. england still lead the multi—format series 6—4 on points. we were saying actually about the

the thing with face masks, though, are very easy win for us to be wearing face masks. not all the time and not necessarily in the classrooms, of course. but i think particularly popping on a face mask if you are going into a hospital to visit a relative, coming to my gp surgery, getting on a bus, i think that's quite an easy win and i actually think there will be many people who will continue to wear face masks. myself included. even afterjuly19, if the mandate is lifted. �* , ., , ., lifted. it's an interesting one because prior _ lifted. it's an interesting one because prior to _ lifted. it's an interesting one because prior to this, - lifted. it's an interesting one because prior to this, maybe lifted. it's an interesting one - because prior to this, maybe the only time you would see people wearing a face mask might be tourists may be in london on the tube because they wear them where they come from and normal for them. you would maybe give them a slightly curious look but now, we'll get it and we all understand that sometimes, there is a benefit to wearing them. sometimes, there is a benefit to wearing them-— wearing them. that's absolutely ri . ht and wearing them. that's absolutely right and i've — wearing them. that's absolutely right and i've heard _ wearing them. that's absolutely right and i've heard a _ wearing them. that's absolutely right and i've heard a lot - wearing them. that's absolutely right and i've heard a lot of - wearing them. that's absolutely i right and i've heard a lot of people say to me, who travel on the bus or

travel on the london underground, particularly in the winter, that they would absolutely put on a face mask, particularly in the winter, because we all get used to having these coughs and colds and flu and actually, if you can do something very simple to prevent that, why wouldn't you? but of course, it's not the same as having to wear a face mask in the classroom, people having to wear them at work or in shops. and that's really sort of a different matter and that will be decided for everybody on the basis of the restrictions lifting, of course. , , ., of the restrictions lifting, of course. , ., of the restrictions lifting, of course. ., ., course. just from your point of view, i course. just from your point of view. i mean. _ course. just from your point of view, i mean, obviously - course. just from your point of view, i mean, obviously things course. just from your point of - view, i mean, obviously things are slowly starting to unlock now and people trying to get appointment —— appointments to see their gps and i understand people's differences, some may struggle and some may not some may struggle and some may not so how is it for you?— so how is it for you? well, we've been operating _ so how is it for you? well, we've been operating a _ so how is it for you? well, we've been operating a system - so how is it for you? well, we've been operating a system called i been operating a system called telephone triage where anybody who wants to speak to a doctor does so

[30 where we do have enough doctors. do you think there will be a sort of hybrid model of working for you going forward, where we may be need to accept that there might be more of that telephone triage that you spoke about, or video calls, before you go to see the gp sometimes? yes. you go to see the gp sometimes? yes, i do think you go to see the gp sometimes? yes, i do think we —
7:42 am
you go to see the gp sometimes? yes, i do think we will— you go to see the gp sometimes? yes, i do think we will carry _ you go to see the gp sometimes? yes i do think we will carry on with some sort of hybrid model, particularly as many patients are very keen to keep that going. the idea of being able to book an appointment via an e—consultation, an electronic form similar to what you would use to engage any sort of service online, so people are used to that. also, many people don't want to come into the gp surgery, whether that is because they are not able to due to disabilities or whether they cannot because of work or other things, whether they cannot because of work or otherthings, caring or other things, caring responsibilities, and or otherthings, caring responsibilities, and actually a lot of people have found telephone appointments, being able to send photographs in, video appointments, incredibly convenient and it is meant they can actually access gp care much sooner than they would have done otherwise. tiara care much sooner than they would have done otherwise.— care much sooner than they would have done otherwise. two more quick tuestions have done otherwise. two more quick questions if — have done otherwise. two more quick questions if i — have done otherwise. two more quick questions if! can. _ have done otherwise. two more quick questions if i can. as _ have done otherwise. two more quick questions if i can. as a _ have done otherwise. two more quick questions if i can. as a gp, _ have done otherwise. two more quick questions if i can. as a gp, you - questions if i can. as a gp, you know about the backlog for hospitals at the moment and how many people
7:43 am
need to be seen. are you able to refer people and get them appointments with consultants if they need them relatively easily? no, we are not. i work in london in a very deprived area and we have a lot of people now incredibly frustrated about waiting for the hospital appointments. we do refer people but sadly, we are finding people but sadly, we are finding people are waiting a long time. find people are waiting a long time. and that's going — people are waiting a long time. and that's going to cause a knock on for many months, possibly years, is what we are hearing. many months, possibly years, is what we are hearing-— we are hearing. yes, it does cause a knock on and _ we are hearing. yes, it does cause a knock on and it _ we are hearing. yes, it does cause a knock on and it causes _ we are hearing. yes, it does cause a knock on and it causes a _ we are hearing. yes, it does cause a knock on and it causes a knock- we are hearing. yes, it does cause a knock on and it causes a knock on i we are hearing. yes, it does cause a knock on and it causes a knock on in j knock on and it causes a knock on in general practice because patients require treatment from us when really, they should be seeing their specialist. they want us, understandably, to try to sort this out, although it is actually an administrative task. they do come back to us to help expedite those appointments. so it does have a knock on through the whole system. can i ask you one really quick one, we were speaking earlier about lots of people, we have not had so much
7:44 am
flu and various other elements because we have been locked down and have been using masks, as we've discussed. many people will have had a baby over the last 18 months or so and all of a sudden as they get out and all of a sudden as they get out and about into the world more, they will be exposed to viruses and things they have not been exposed to before, the little babies. it“s things they have not been exposed to before, the little babies. it's a worrying time, isn't it, for new parents? what's the advice for them if maybe their little one develops a temperature and they are concerned? always try and speak to your gp, certainly a little one under the age of one year with a temperature, especially if you are not used to it, and we can often reassure you very easily by quickly seeing the baby, weakly seeing your toddler, and you're absolutely right that none of these babies will have had any infections because they haven't actually been seeing people. so it is a worrying time but we are there to examine the baby and to reassure you if necessary. to examine the baby and to reassure you if necessary-—

7:46 am
showers further north and many started the day north. misty and murky and much of that will lift. outbreaks of rain in the south are drifting north and will get heavier as we go through the day and it is into the afternoon across northern ireland, northern england, scotland, parts of the midlands and north wales to where they could be torrential in places. other month“s worth of rain in a short space of time that could cause a flash flooding. sunshine in between. compared with this morning it will be a brighter afternoon across the south with fewer showers around than what we have at the moment. as we go into this evening and overnight, all of the wet weather starts to transfer its way further north stop a bit more. that does mean southern counties will have a largely dry. mist and fog into tomorrow morning with temperatures in double figures if not the mid—teens. look away now if not the mid—teens. look away now if you are planning to spend the early part of next week under canvas. especially in the south. unseasonably deep area of low pressure develops pushing northwards across the uk. we will show you how
7:47 am
that develops, mainly later on monday. but even before we go there, it is the northern half of the uk is likely to see rain at times with heavy and thundery downpours. across other parts of england and ray dunn and wales, fewer showers around and many will spend the day dry even if it is a bit cooler. the channel islands, this is a sign of the low pressure system. heavy, torrential rain spreading northwards across much of england and wales was not scotland and northern ireland largely dry through monday night to tuesday morning. wins are lighter that it tuesday morning. wins are lighter thatitis tuesday morning. wins are lighter that it is in the south where we will see some potential damage and some tram disruption into the morning to stop wind could be gusting. a wild and windy start to tuesday morning. around the english channel. heavy showers here longer spells of rain in northern england and into eastern scotland later. again with the under strong possible. wind lighter in the north and still breezy further south and
7:48 am
it will feel: tuesday too. but drier later in the week.— later in the week. small mercies. thank you — later in the week. small mercies. thank you very — later in the week. small mercies. thank you very much, _ later in the week. small mercies. thank you very much, matt. - now it's time for click with spencer kelly and lara lewington. hey, welcome to click! i hope you're well. for months now, we've been fantasising about places that we can't go to at the moment, stories that we can't cover in person, and the big tech expos that aren't happening in the real world — they've moved online. but not this week! lara, would you care to accompany me to barcelona? absolutely! i've been looking forward to this!
7:49 am
now, mobile world congress was one of the first events to be cancelled last year. and this year, despite a few delays, it is actually happening, but we're not heading off to sunny spain. well, not really. but we are gonna be there in spirit, 0k? you ready? absolutely! let's do it! all right, let's go. and. . .we“ve arrived! this is thira, barcelona, and this is mwc. and we're not only here in spirit, but we are here in body too — a robot body! with my face on it! and the good thing is that this robot is connected to the same zoom call as me and you, so you can ride along pillion. 0h, crikey, you're in control. am i in safe hands? absolutely not! so i can look up and down, like that, and i can go left and right, and forward and backwards with the arrow keys. here we go — look, it's working. 0h, left! they're saying left, go left.
7:50 am
it's like when someone tries to help you park. and the good thing is do you see that down the bottom of the screen you get a bird's—eye view... ooh, yes — nice! right, that's the bird's—eye view of the bottom of the robot, so hopefully we won“tjust run over someone“s feet. it does feel great to be back at a tech show — even if it is inside a tablet that's stuck to the top of a segway — and i guess this is what we're now calling a hybrid show, with some exhibitors and attendees in barcelona and some online. it looks nice, doesn't it? it looks...mwc looks nice. it does look nice! look at those actual people there! actually there! oh, dear, we“ve stalled. the connection to mwc is frozen but you're moving normally. meanwhile, while i leave spencer to play the part of a robot — or is it a robot playing the part of spencer? — other machines are also trying to take some work away from us, like creating music. chris fox has been finding out more. 8-bit version of
7:51 am
eurovision theme plays. # circus coming to town. # oh oh! # tearing my heart apart. # oh oh! the a! song contest is back for a second year and unlike last year's show, which was eurovision—themed, this year, anything goes. # i feel the wires, i feel the wires. # wires. # my blood flows and my heart breathes. like eurovision, the goal is to create a song that will impress the public and a jury of experts. # like a bird flying in the sky... but each of the 38 entries had to use some artificial intelligence in the process, whether that was to create lyrics or the melody or even virtual instruments. # can't you tell. # if i could fly. # i'd take you high...
7:52 am
that song there was by a group called smorgasborg and if you recognise the pixelated face, that's because it's click“s very own lj rich, who has entered the contest. so, lj, how do you even get started with creating a song using ai? when i work alone, the music always comes first, the melody, the chords — all of that come first. but when i'm working with other people, i normally feel inspired by their lyrics and so with this, it felt very natural to get the al to generate some lyrics for me, which is what we did. we used gpt—3. it's incredibly good at generating text. you can do anything from writing a question, and it giving you an answer, to writing a few sentences and itjust completing them. and i wanted to write a dance track. i don't know why, ijust got into my head that eurovision requires a dance track. and so, i put in the following prompt: feel the bass, dance all night, headphones on, smartphone light. and i thought it was gonna come up with a kind of, like, you know, proper
7:53 am
dance—type thing. and it returned "walking like a zombie in the dark" as a completion and i thought “'hmm! that's really strange and unearthly and odd." once you had your lyrics, how did you turn that into a song? how did you decide whether it was gonna be a ballad or a banger? it felt naturally that it was falling into a ballad. and when it came to writing your melody, i believe you had a little bit of a helping hand from the chart—topper adele? i mean, kind of! she was the dataset that i trained an al on to work out where the melody should go next. jukebox ai is a programme that you can run which you can train on particular bands or artists. so adele, i think, is an incredible songwriter. why not train an al on adele and then enter the lyrics in, and see if the music that the machine creates can give me some inspiration as to where to go with the melody. so every three seconds, which would take 12 minutes or so of processing time, i would then say yes, i want option one, and then set it running again.
7:54 am
and go brrrrr, ok, i'm gonna choose option two for this. and i would slowly build this melody with the machine that felt like a better fit. # i'll be the one to watch you shine. well, good luck, lj, and everyone else in the competition. public voting has already closed but you can listen to all the songs at aisongcontest.com and the winner will be revealed onjuly 6th. of course, ever since the invention of the music video, music icons haven“tjust had to think about how their music sounds, but also how it looks. lara: they've sold over 100 million records,
7:55 am
are in their fifth decade of performing, and have shared a stage with many a great act. but duran duran have been trying a new type of collaboration — the band's letting artificial intelligence loose on creating the video for their new single, invisible. how is a machine brain going to make a video? how is it going to construct it? how is it going to conceive ideas? how can we feed in enough information to get something valid back? and...then i was introduced to huxley. huxley is the a! that was trained to get creative. this is where it all starts. the process of making an a! video involves teaching the ai how a human would think. so first of all, you've got to really take a close look at what is going on inside
7:56 am
a human“s brain, and that can happen right here. it“s meg scanner, or a magnetoencephalography scanner, and what it does is it uses really strong magnets to measure very sensitive signals firing in the top part of the brain, known as the cortex, and that's where we think a lot of the information for creativity and things like, other tasks like this are encoded. so if you want to imbue them into ai, we need to first measure them in humans and understand what is going on and then translate that over to the code. this sort of data was used to teach huxley to interpret what it sees in the same way a human brain would. then images of the band, lyrics and video footage were all put into the system, leaving the al to generate its version of that — creating a collaborative process between the band and the computer. this is what it came outwith, eventually. # you don't hear a word i say...
7:57 am
so what did nick make of it? thrilled, astonished, amazed, stunned and bewildered! how was it to work with an ai? i quite like collaborating with an ai, it doesn't answer back as much, for sure, and it doesn't ask very difficult questions. but it does come up with surprising results. i just love the way that some of the thought processes were working. you didn't understand what on earth it was coming up with sometimes — it became obsessed with dogs for several days, but when it was fed in some information, some keyboards, some imagery of keyboards, nick plays keyboards, it came back with a zebra. now, that's my kind of surrealist game. black and white. yeah, of course, stripes, it makes perfect sense. i think for a bass guitar, it came back with a fish, but actually if you think about it, i suppose, it had been through its dictionary, sea bass. it certainly captured
7:58 am
the emotion of the song, but don't you miss being in the actual music video yourself? uh... no, i quite like robotic me, i could send robotic me to do a lot of things, i can tell you. both laugh. we'll make videos with us in them again, of course. it was just thoroughly appealing to do something different. moving forward, is it something that you would want to use again? how do you perceive the future of music videos and ai, for you? obviously it's a joy to be first with something, because it's nice to... ah, jump off a bridge and realise you can land somewhere with something magical. # we all become invisible... spencer: so sounds like they loved being the first ones to do this, but they won't be doing another one. sounded that way, although nick was very into a! in general,
7:59 am
and robots, although he didn't need to try and make this episode of click. which has been challenging! to say the least! trust me, world, we're not the stage yet where driving a bot wirelessly around a crowded trade show is easy or reliable, but we made it, just. and i am ejecting... here we go. ah, welcome back! and as ever you can keep up with the team throughout the week — find us on youtube, instagram, facebook and twitter at @bbcclick. and don't forget that you can see all the entries for the a! song contest at aisongcontest.com. and a special treat this week, we are going to play out with an acoustic version of lj“5 a! song. so enjoy this, thanks for watching and we will see you soon. bye bye. # can't you tell. # if i could fly, i'd take you high. # i'd give you all the things you need. # to make it through
8:00 am
the lonely nights. # i'll be your star, your satellite... good morning. welcome to breakfast with rogerjohnson and nina warhurst. our headlines today... a brilliant night for england, as they thrash ukraine in rome, and move on to the semi finals of the euros. it's been a long year for everybody. i“m chuffed the two performances we've put on have brought so much enjoyment and happiness to people. cheering it was a saturday night to celebrate for fans, with england now one game away from their first
8:01 am
major final since 1966. i can't believe it. we“re over the moon. absolutely brilliant. they've played amazing. also this morning, the health secretary sajid javid says there's a strong argument that removing coronavirus restrictions will improve the country's health. "shocking" levels of violence and abuse against shop workers. retail bosses ask the prime minister for help. and, an a—star performance, from britain's newest star at wimbledon. 18—year—old emma raducanu — fresh from finishing her school exams — announces herself on the big stage, by reaching the fourth round. whilst there will be a bit of sunshine at times for many of you, and a few staying dry. big thunderstorms around again. torrential downpours in places. something windier on the way through tomorrow. the details here on breakfast. it“s sunday, 4thjuly. our top story. england are heading to their first
8:02 am
semi final at the euros for 25 years after a decisive 4—0 win over ukraine in rome last night. gareth southgate“s side will now head home to wembley to face denmark in the last four on wednesday. our sports correspondent natalie pirks rounds up all the action from the italian capital. my head is telling me to calm down but my heart is getting carried away and long may that continue. what's that feeling, england fans? optimism orjust pure, unbridled joy? either way it feels good to be in the semis of the euros for the first time since “96. it“s fabulous. i suppose it's still sinking in a bit. we're in another semifinal. it“s three in three years. but uppermost in my mind again, we obviously want to go the steps further. we're looking confident out there. hopefully, we can continue that. the job ain't done yet. we've got a lot more football to play. like i said, we're
8:03 am
on the right track. this was england's first match away from the comfort blanket of wembley. # happy and glorious.# the heat at times made it feel like the blanket was still on but it didn't stop england from getting off to a blistering start. sterling through to kane now. and harry kane has found the net. well, that didn't take long. look what it meant to the captain! his second in as many games. the england cavalry kept coming. sterling, a constant threat. declan rice with the rebound shot that got gareth off his seat. there were a couple of wobbly moments at the back, a second goal would certainly calm their nerves. there's maguire. just what england wanted. the fans affectionately dub him slab head for his heading ability. maguire cemented england's lead. the pressure was on. luke shaw didn't stop harrying and the ball for harry kane was sublime. ukraine blown away. england on their way.
8:04 am
that was two goals inside four minutes but then fans, who had come from all over europe, wanted more. jordan henderson duly obliged. with the corner, there's another one. his first goal after 62 caps was england's fourth, yes, fourth, of the night. it wrapped up a victory that in truth was never in doubt. we don't stop here. we've got another big game coming up. we want to get further this time than we did at the world cup. it's a great feeling to win here. the way that we've done it as well shows the big progress that we're making as a country, so, long may the improvement continue. england—based fans couldn't come to rome but now football is coming home with 60,000 fans at wembley on wednesday. natalie pirks, bbc news, rome.
8:05 am
what a night! our sports reporterjohn watson is in rome this morning. a huge moment for england. gareth southgate saying there is not much time to think about it. did that really _ much time to think about it. d c that really happen? england winning comfortably in the quarterfinal of a european tournament. it was the most relaxing 90 minutes and something we are not used to, it is fair to say. what a night for gareth southgate! his team and players must surely be believing they can go on and win the tournament this year. it was a great night. raheem sterling back to his best as he has been throughout the tournament. what a competition he is having so far! he took to social media and said, job done.
8:06 am
it was a huge night forjordan henderson — his first goal for england. he says, it "means everything." you could tell by his reaction after scoring goal, england's fourth, it really does. the fa showing all three goalscorers back when they were kids having a kickabout — though still winning trophies. this is what the players are doing it for, to go on and challenge for the biggest trophies in european football. prince william tweeted to say it was a top team performance and that he can't wait for wednesday. and we had to show you this this morning. we all like to celebrate a win in our own unique way. that is certainly something that ross kemp did last night. have a look!

8:08 am
book a trip to the moon! he will be over it. although gareth southgate“s side had a smattering of people cheering them on inside stadio olimpico, many fans were unable to travel from england to the italian capital because of covid restrictions. but back home millions watched on from their living rooms, pubs, sports clubs and gardens, as charlotte gallagher reports. well, that didn't take long! one brings two for harry kane. ecstasy on the pitch... and off. a goaljust four minutes in and england, well, they were just getting started. in beer gardens, bars and front rooms, millions of england supporters saw their dreams turn to reality. brilliant. a brilliant performance. harry kane, brilliant.
8:09 am
clinical. i guessed 1—0 at work. yeah, the same. i can't believe it. we're over the moon. absolutely brilliant. they played amazing. for those lucky enough to watch the match in rome, the mood was electric. england played terrific, the best performance i have seen this tournament so far. great goals. harry kane is back. can't wait for the semifinal. it feels fantastic. how does it feel? amazing. couldn't even have dreamt it. is it coming home? i hope so. it would be nice, wouldn't it? it's coming home, it's coming home. # football's coming home.# no matter what country the fans were in, there was only one song on everybody“s lips. and with such a stunning performance, fans were in the mood to party. confidence which, as an england supporter, takes a battering, is now building.
8:10 am
a brilliant evening. so impressive from the guys. harry kane leading from the front. we're not really used to that. very comfortable, very comprehensive. never in doubt. the atmosphere has been incredible. we always knew it would be. england fans come out for the football. we can't wait for the game against the danes on wednesday night. best of luck to the danes but we know we're going to beat them, we're going to be in the final next weekend and we can't wait. wembley, and the semifinal against denmark now beckons. is football finally, finally coming home? charlotte gallagher, bbc news. so after last night's celebrations, attention now turns to wednesday's crucial semi—final against denmark. we“re joined now by former england defender danny mills. i was going to ask you, good morning, whether you think it is
8:11 am
coming home. by the look of your t—shirt, i think it is answered. definitely. what a great opportunity! most importantly, for the next three or four days, england fans can enjoy this moment. it must suck it all in and enjoy the way england are playing, enjoy the result and england into a semifinal, the second time in a row in a major competition. you could throw into that nations need three times in a row, this is an hurdle for england fans. ~ ., ., , ., fans. what are they doing differently _ fans. what are they doing differently to _ fans. what are they doing differently to previous - fans. what are they doing - differently to previous squads? -- differently to previous squads? —— it is unheard—of. i differently to previous squads? -- it is unheard-of.— it is unheard-of. i think it is an exceptional — it is unheard-of. i think it is an exceptional group _ it is unheard-of. i think it is an exceptional group of _ it is unheard-of. i think it is an exceptional group of players, i it is unheard-of. i think it is an i exceptional group of players, all very talented. down the years we have also had very good players. what gareth has done is change the mentality. a lot of the players when
8:12 am
i was involved used to go out thinking, if we lose, what will the next day look like? we will be on the front pages, all over the media, on tv, everything, getting a tough time of it. gareth has change the mentality and said, go out, play your best and make history. use this moment for that this is what you looked forward to as a kid. don“t looked forward to as a kid. don't use it as a point of fear, use it as a point of excitement to prove to the world how good you are. that change in mentality means the players are going out, expressing themselves and going out like they normally would for their clubs. there is a great togetherness in the squad which gareth has cultivated over the course of a few years. i think now every single player is playing for their country, playing for themselves. playing for their country, playing forthemselves. but playing for their country, playing for themselves. but most importantly it looks like they are enjoying it and playing with freedom. he never
8:13 am
tets two and playing with freedom. he never gets two down _ and playing with freedom. he never gets two down when _ and playing with freedom. he never gets two down when they _ and playing with freedom. he never gets two down when they lose - and playing with freedom. he never gets two down when they lose or i and playing with freedom. he neverl gets two down when they lose or too carried away when they win. he seems very level—headed. interesting last night in his interview, he said it has been a long yearfor night in his interview, he said it has been a long year for everybody. he seems a very intelligent and thoughtful bloke.— thoughtful bloke. incredibly. unbelievable. _ thoughtful bloke. incredibly. unbelievable. the _ thoughtful bloke. incredibly. unbelievable. the attention | thoughtful bloke. incredibly. i unbelievable. the attention to detail he goes through is outstanding. i have known him personally for many, many years. he is such a nice guy. everyone says, how can he be england manager quest when he is not ruthless enough, he is too nice. trust me, he has been my captain and i have played with him many many times. when it needs to be told, he will tell you it as it is. he is very good at that as well. he understands people and he understands the younger generation as well. he works out what is good
8:14 am
for them. as well. he works out what is good forthem. he as well. he works out what is good for them. he realises you panel stop these players having social media or twitter and having fun. —— you panel stop. they will make mistakes from time to time. rather than saying thatis time to time. rather than saying that is it, he educates them and he has learned along with them. the measured control he has been praised for, the attitude of the squad is something he has also been criticised. questions over whether they face denmark in the semi they had to up their game. that they will have to pay quite differently. d0 have to pay quite differently. do ou have to pay quite differently. drr you agree? they have played differently in every single game so far. leading up to the tournament all i had was you cannot keep playing with two holding midfield players. why are you playing with them in the easy games? in those games you are practising for the big moments like last night quite like against germany. it is the lead up
8:15 am
to the tournament, getting the players used to doing that in the so—called easy games and then you are ready for it in the big games. he has made big decisions every single game so far. the first game, pavin phillips is playing. why is he doing that? oh, look, here“s getting man of the match. why is raheem sterling even in the squad from some quarters? people questioning his form stop the scotland game is not great. scotland were superb and then a winner and go top of the group with people saying they should have come second to get an easier route. then against germany, if he gets it wrong, that is probably him out of a job. he changed it again last night. everyone was like, grealish has to play. he did not even come off the bench last night and england win 4-0. his
8:16 am
bench last night and england win 4—0. his management and tactical decisions, substitutions, everything till now has been banging on point. now wejust till now has been banging on point. now we just have to enjoy this moment, savour it for what it is, look forward to wednesday and believes that gareth will pick the right team, the players are ready, they are up for it and something special could really happen. ii they are up for it and something special could really happen. if you could tet special could really happen. if you could get inside _ special could really happen. if you could get inside the _ special could really happen. if you could get inside the head - special could really happen. if you could get inside the head of - special could really happen. if you could get inside the head of gareth southgate, what to expect him to do? denmark are a decent side and they are writing their own wave after what happened to christian eriksen. it is a real difficult game against denmark. they have nothing to lose because of what happened to christian eriksen very early on. they had bounced back from that. they had bounced back from that. they are everybody“s second team. it is almost like denmark have already won. nobody expects them to have had to continue playing almost
8:17 am
immediately after what happened. everybody wanted denmark to do well. the world love centre what they had been able to there will maybe be one or two changes, not too many. all gareth asked his players to do is to go out and play exactly like you play for your club. do not do anything different. he is not trying to shoehorn players into different positions to try to make it fit. maybe they are the best players, maybe there are better players on the bench but he picks the players to win the game and played to the system he wants to play. there are still doubters and people who say it has been an easy route to the final. we have had easy routes to the final before. last year supposedly we had an easy tie against iceland and we went out. let“s enjoy the fact we are in a semifinal, it is a great opportunity to get to a final. it is at wembley with nearly 60,000 fans

8:19 am
yesterday, a cracking capture by weather watchers in derbyshire. it is a case of downpour dodging, i think that this sunday. some will stay dry with sunny spells but others keep your eye on the sky for something dark and looming on the horizon. already downpours in the south counties in england. rumbles of thunder in london and the south—east. heavy rain pushing to the south—west. that is all on the move slowly. into the afternoon as temperatures rise we will see more sunshine. it is from north wales, the midlands went northwards into parts of scotland and northern ireland where we see the worst of the thunderstorms. equally there will be those completely avoiding then, seeing sunny spells into the afternoon and it will be drier compared with the morning across the southern counties of england. a mild night tonight the temperatures in
8:20 am
their teens. we will continue to see outbreaks of rain in the northern part of britain in particular. foggy in places. just to give you a heads up, this area of low pressure is set to spin off. potentially some damaging wins across the very far south. let“s run you three monday. the wettest weather in the northern part of the country with outbreaks of rain. —— through monday. much of england and wales, heniaith he showers dotted around on monday, dryer compared with the weekend. more persistent rain and temperatures down from what we have seen this weekend. this will be throwing a batch of heavy and persistent rain across england and wales and strengthening their wins across the southern counties on tuesday morning. winds could gust
8:21 am
between 40 and 50 miles an hour. it could be a few problems as we start tuesday morning. lighter winds in the north. the bulk of the rain in northern england pushing into parts of southern and is in scotland, turning heavy and thundery. a lot of showers will move rapidly. the strongest winds easing into the afternoon still with lighter winds further north. outbreaks of rain could be slow moving and linger with temperatures down again from what we have seen this weekend. i will leave you with optimism. after more showers on wednesday, the rest of the week does let dry and perhaps a bit brighter. at least we will be indoors watching the tv on wednesday. yes. the health secretary, sajid javid, says there is a "compelling" case that easing
8:22 am
covid restrictions will improve the country's health. writing in the mail on sunday, mrjavid — who took over from matt hancock a week ago — said england remains we“re joined now by our political correspondent nick eardley. we have been used to cautious language around unlocking that this feels quite uncertain. it language around unlocking that this feels quite uncertain.— feels quite uncertain. it feels the government _ feels quite uncertain. it feels the government messaging - feels quite uncertain. it feels the government messaging is - feels quite uncertain. it feels the i government messaging is changing towards the arguments for lifting some of the restrictions we still have. savage damages saying, yes, we have. savage damages saying, yes, we have known about the economic costs of restrictions. he is saying it has had a devastating health impact as well. the rise on domestic abuse and things like that. it seems clear that health secretary is preparing the ground for lifting those restrictions on the 19th ofjuly. no word from downing street is they want to move more from legal restrictions to personal responsibility. there is a lot of
8:23 am
speculation this morning about things like face coverings, the legal requirement to wear face coverings being lifted. big decisions the government is going to be taking this week. more details in the next few days about what freedom day on the 19th ofjuly looks like. thank you. we“re joined by dr mike tildesley, an epidemiologist at the university of warwick. thank you for talking to us. what do you think about the abandoning of masks after the 19th ofjuly, potentially?— masks after the 19th ofjuly, potentially? masks after the 19th ofjuly, totentiall ? , ., potentially? interesting. if we are ttoin to potentially? interesting. if we are going to do _ potentially? interesting. if we are going to do that. _ potentially? interesting. if we are going to do that, probably - potentially? interesting. if we are going to do that, probably this i potentially? interesting. if we are going to do that, probably this is| going to do that, probably this is the right time to consider it. we know masks have helped throughout the pandemic in terms of reducing risk a little bit. they are part of a number of measures helping to reduce the risk. i had been a little bit worried when some commentators have suggested masks might be around for a long period of time because they are free from any kind of
8:24 am
negative impact. we know they are quite difficult for people who are hard of hearing, people who struggle with mental health and find it difficult to wear a mask. probably if we are going to remove them, the 19th ofjuly when we are seeing really low numbers of hospital admissions and deaths is probably the right time to consider it. some ofthe the right time to consider it. some of the papers _ the right time to consider it. some of the papers saying _ the right time to consider it. some of the papers saying the _ the right time to consider it. some of the papers saying the government is thinking about replacing rules with personal responsibility and common sense. other people getting in touch with us this morning, looking at people celebrating the scenes of the football. not much social distancing going on. personal responsibility and common sense. hoe? responsibility and common sense. how does that responsibility and common sense. ihmh" does that work? it responsibility and common sense. heidi does that work? it is difficult. it is understandable that people were very excited yesterday. there has been some level of responsibility going forwards. i hope when we moved into the autumn we can start to have
8:25 am
more of a flu relationship with coronavirus. we have been living with influenza for many years and have had waves of infections stop. have had waves of infections hopefully with a successful vaccination campaign we can get more into that mindset and look at mitigating the worst risks of coronavirus by hand washing practices and advisory strategies and supporting people to be at home when they ask it. the simple measures to give people personal responsibility but also going back to living life as normally as possible. that is very important after a really tough 18 months. the new health — after a really tough 18 months. the new health secretary, writing in the mail on sunday, has talked about domestic violence and mental health. two of the things we have been told are increasing as a result of
8:26 am
restrictions and people spending more time at home, the economic problems people are having. he says it will be good potentially for the health of the nation which might seem slightly at odds with the pandemic. seem slightly at odds with the pandemic-— seem slightly at odds with the tandemic. ~ ., , ., ., seem slightly at odds with the tandemic. ~ ., ., ., pandemic. would you agree with that? i will sa i pandemic. would you agree with that? i will say i am — pandemic. would you agree with that? i will say i am not _ pandemic. would you agree with that? i will say i am not an _ pandemic. would you agree with that? i will say i am not an expert _ pandemic. would you agree with that? i will say i am not an expert in - i will say i am not an expert in mental health but i am very aware even anecdotally from my own experience how the last 18 and has been really challenging for people from the perspective of mental health. it works both ways. mental health. it works both ways. mental health damage because of the negative impacts of covid but the impacts are being under lockdown for a long period of time. it has been pretty devastating and it is really important going forwards. as i said earlier, with a good vaccination campaign but we have been really successful with it. it has been a shining light over the last six months. it is important to do what we can to get people back to normal from an economic and mental health

and well—being perspective. the and well-being perspective. the government _ and well—being perspective. the government has said the link has been broken between infections and serious illness, hospitalisations and deaths. where are the numbers at the moment? we know infection rates are high. what about hospitalisations and deaths? it has not been completely _ hospitalisations and deaths? it has not been completely broken, - hospitalisations and deaths? it "tess not been completely broken, it has been severely weakened. we are reporting cases in the 20,000 now. admissions to hospital are down in the low hundreds, if you hundred per day, which is a long way below their peak in january. day, which is a long way below their peak injanuary. we are reporting daily deaths in the tens and 205, far below where we were when we were reporting 1000 plus injanuary. that is because of a very successful vaccination campaign. as we moved to the 19th ofjuly, if we fully reopen at that date, we might expect hospital admissions and deaths will go hospital admissions and deaths will 9° up hospital admissions and deaths will go up further. we might get something of a peak as we go into
8:28 am
the summer. i would not expect it to be anything like the peak we saw in january. hopefully we will not be having similar pressures put on the nhs and we would be able to get back to some type of normality in the summer months. we to some type of normality in the summer months.— to some type of normality in the summer months. ~ ., , ., summer months. we have been told we will have to get — summer months. we have been told we will have to get back— summer months. we have been told we will have to get back to _ summer months. we have been told we will have to get back to living _ summer months. we have been told we will have to get back to living with - will have to get back to living with this, much like flu and other viruses. do you feel optimistic that if we get the 19th ofjuly we can move forward and as the government said its aspiration is it is irreversible?— said its aspiration is it is irreversible? let's say i am cautiously _ irreversible? let's say i am cautiously optimistic. - irreversible? let's say i am cautiously optimistic. if - irreversible? let's say i am cautiously optimistic. if we | irreversible? let's say i am - cautiously optimistic. if we look at the data, it is looking healthy right now. there is always uncertainty. the epidemiologist in me will always think, in the summer marino transmission is lower in the summer. people socialising outdoor settings, which helps. in the winter there is always greater risk and the new potential for new variants to come along which evade the vaccine.
8:29 am
leeds —— we need to think about that now. with a good booster vaccination campaign, notjust for covid but campaign, not just for covid but also campaign, notjust for covid but also forflu as campaign, notjust for covid but also for flu as we go into winter, hopefully we will be well prepared moving forward and we will not need any restrictions to be put into place as we move into autumn and winter. ., ., place as we move into autumn and winter. ., ~i , ., place as we move into autumn and winter. ., «i , ., ., place as we move into autumn and winter. ., «i i. ., i. winter. thank you for your time toda . winter. thank you for your time today- no _ winter. thank you for your time today. no problematical. - the andrew marr show follows breakfast on bbc one at 9 o'clock this morning. andrew, what do you have on the programme today? we will be talking about a lot of the coronavirus restriction issues with the clinical medical director at nhs england, stephen paris. a very important and influential man. rachel reeves, the shadow chancellor in her first interview rachel reeves, the shadow chancellor in herfirst interview in her new job. fouryears in herfirst interview in her new job. four years on from the grenfell towerfire, we are in job. four years on from the grenfell tower fire, we are in the job. four years on from the grenfell towerfire, we are in the middle of
