this is bbc news. the headlines... a brilliant night for england in rome — as they thrash ukraine, and move on to the semi finals 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. at least 17 people have died and a0 others have been rescued after a military plane crashed

in the southern philippines. the health secretary sajid javid says there's a strong argument that easing coronavirus restrictions in england will improve the country's health. in miami, an approaching storm accelerates plans to demolish the rest of the apartment block where at least 2a people died and more than a 120 are missing. we are going to be talking about the papers after this port but right now it is time to join gavin for at sports update, and more revelling in that result, gavin. england's men are heading to theirfirst semi final at the euros for 25 years after a 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 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. that was two goals inside four minutes but the 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 go 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. so england are yet to concede a goal in the tournament. they'll now return to wembley next wednesday evening — where they'll face denmark. that's after they beat the czech republic 2—1 in baku — kasper dolberg with denmark's second. it's the furthest denmark have gone since they won the tournament in 1992. from the euros to wimbledon, where there is another huge english success story. teenager emma raducanu is quickly becoming the story of the tournament this year. she's through to the fourth round — but it wasn't the perfect day

for the brits at sw19 asjoe wilson reports. the big occasion, the new player. how would she react? from the start, britain's emma raducanu was herself on numberi court, but what teenager goes anywhere without their phone? top of the court, here comes the raducanu speciality — that shot. applause. when the first set ended like this... 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. 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, asjoe lynskey reports. one of sport's great events start 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 �*80s. and now had scored on his debut. this warm—up match with sigma lions was this team's opportunity. in the next three weeks and 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. with speed like this he will get more through the weeks. this was the dominant start the british and 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. defending champion tadej pogacar has taken the lead at the tour de france, while geraint thomas�* hopes of winning the yellowjersey are effectively over.

the welshman finished stage eight 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 two year contract to continue racing for mercedes, lewis hamilton will be wondering whether he can stop max verstappen winning the formula one 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 — who was just five hundredths 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. that�*s all the sport for now. next up is the papers.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us. it's it�*s not a look ahead, they actually with us! with me are american author and broadcaster carol gould and deputy political editor of the sunday times caroline wheeler. before we look at the front pages, carol, i want to extend a really warm welcome back, great to have you with us at this morning. i know you have been having pretty gruelling cancer treatment, so good to have you with us. cancer treatment, so good to have you with ve— cancer treatment, so good to have you with us-_ cancer treatment, so good to have you with us-— cancer treatment, so good to have you with us. how are you feeling? i am feeling — you with us. how are you feeling? i am feeling pretty — you with us. how are you feeling? i am feeling pretty rough _ you with us. how are you feeling? i am feeling pretty rough but - you with us. how are you feeling? i am feeling pretty rough but it - you with us. how are you feeling? i am feeling pretty rough but it has l am feeling pretty rough but it has been four and a half years of the royal marsden trying seven different kinds of chemotherapy on me and this is the beauty of the nhs, it is

astonishing what the various institutes here can do to keep people alive, particularly older people alive, particularly older people like me. it is people alive, particularly older people like me.— people alive, particularly older people like me. it is good to have ou with people like me. it is good to have you with us. _ people like me. it is good to have you with us, thank _ people like me. it is good to have you with us, thank you _ people like me. it is good to have you with us, thank you for- people like me. it is good to havej you with us, thank you for getting up you with us, thank you for getting up early to cut through the papers. let�*s look at the front pages. the front pages are very welcome because it is the football on most of the front pages, sunday mirror has a large image of england players celebrating their demolition of ukraine. the sunday telegraph has a similar. it also says borisjohnson signed off on plans to end compulsory mask wearing onjuly 19. compulsory mask wearing onjuly19. there is football on the front of the sunday times which also give credit where it is more certainly due to emma raducanu, the youngest british woman to reach the last 16 of wimbledon since 1968. the mail on

sunday because football and tennis fans equal prominence and also has an inclusive interview with the new health secretary who says the best way to protect the nation�*s health is to lift could no restrictions and that led to a lot of what is in the papers this morning in terms of what we can expect went the plans are announced for what happens after the 19th ofjuly. let�*s start with the football. did you both watch the match? , football. did you both watch the match?- 0h. _ football. did you both watch the match? yes. oh, god, yes. i had my heart in my — match? yes. oh, god, yes. i had my heart in my mouth. _ match? yes. oh, god, yes. i had my heart in my mouth. we _ match? yes. oh, god, yes. i had my heart in my mouth. we were - match? yes. oh, god, yes. i had my heart in my mouth. we were helped| match? yes. oh, god, yes. i had my i heart in my mouth. we were helped by that early goal. — heart in my mouth. we were helped by that early goal, that _ heart in my mouth. we were helped by that early goal, that calms _ heart in my mouth. we were helped by that early goal, that calms nerves - that early goal, that calms nerves from the beginning. as we saw, all over the front pages and back pages and inside the mail on sunday, england in dreamland. caroline, well, we are in dreamland. the pressure now builds, the players were brilliant with that post match interviews, trying to keep their feet on the ground, the question is can we all do that? it�*s

can we all do that? it's really hard. i managed _ can we all do that? it's really hard. i managed to _ can we all do that? it's really hard. i managed to catch - can we all do that? it's really. hard. i managed to catch most can we all do that? it's really - hard. i managed to catch most of it, i got home to seek the first goal had already gone in, i was ten minutes late to watch it and it was great to be able to watch and not sit there biting your nails from the very beginning, it was fantastic. absolutely right, it is dreamland, there is always an expectation that england are going to overpromise and under deliver and yet this is the third semifinals we�*ve reached in three years. that�*s a really impressive accolade for gareth southgate. i think it was his interview that struck me this is a man who is haunted by euro 96 and his own inability to deliver that penalty. you can really see this is a massive vindication for him. he felt that defeat really personally, if you remember, she appeared in self—deprecating adverts after that humiliating defeat. 0bviously he

took it massively to heart, so to see is absolute brilliant result that he is credited with overseeing, you can see the confidence and the balance in his step, being totally restorative.— balance in his step, being totally restorative. . , ., restorative. that is something that for those of _ restorative. that is something that for those of us _ restorative. that is something that for those of us remember - restorative. that is something that for those of us remember at - restorative. that is something that for those of us remember at the i for those of us remember at the match when he missed a penalty and impact afterwards, it has obviously hung heavy over him. there is the weight of history. as he himself has said companies are young players and they do not have that, the past is a different country for them. what different country for them. what i find significant _ different country for them. what i find significant about _ different country for them. what i find significant about the - different country for them. what i find significant about the team . different country for them. what i | find significant about the team that gareth_ find significant about the team that gareth southgate has put together over the _ gareth southgate has put together over the past couple of years, the three _ over the past couple of years, the three of— over the past couple of years, the three of us— over the past couple of years, the three of us here now, so little —— so a _ three of us here now, so little —— so a little — three of us here now, so little —— so a little ego, how manyjaguars have _ so a little ego, how manyjaguars have they — so a little ego, how manyjaguars have they bought, how many houses? these _ have they bought, how many houses? these men _ have they bought, how many houses? these men take me back to the era of

mail on sunday. no more scanning qr codes to have a point in the pub, the controversial bubbles in schools been replaced by a daily testing and voluntary mask wearing on shops and buses. and the holiday drive for the double jab. caroline, there has been obviously, this has been a long time coming, there is a different person in position, and there is a different feel now.- in position, and there is a different feel now. there is, i think the _ different feel now. there is, i think the peace _ different feel now. there is, i think the peace sajid - different feel now. there is, i think the peace sajid javid - different feel now. there is, i | think the peace sajid javid has written for the mail on sunday is very calculated in it is trying to differentiate his style from that of his predecessor at matt hancock. that was always this great tension within government between protecting the nhs and physically saying that that was above and beyond what we needed to protect beyond the economy at the new health secretary is

saying lifting restrictions and being a bit more bullish about what we can do is going to be betterfor our health than this kind of message that we got to ease the pressure on nhs. i think it is a good argument, not only have we been very concerned about those kind of missing health cases, the people that are going to a&e were things that could be worrying like cancer, there are hundreds of thousands of people that have fallen through the cracks there, equally, people have suffered terrible mental health problems, particularly young people during lockdown. sajid javid also raises the terrible spectre of domestic violence which has boomed into lockdown. where families have been kind of locked together for weeks and months on end. that is very much his note, saying opening up is good for the health service and good for people more generally, i think that

is his main message, his message, but i am different and i�*m going to be more bullish and give you freedom back. as you raised, some really interesting new detail on the freedoms we are going to get. in a couple of weeks�* time on that so—called freedom —— on that freedom date which was delayed from last month. what are your thoughts, carol? preparing for this programme i was thinking _ preparing for this programme i was thinking last night, i have lived in a parallel— thinking last night, i have lived in a parallel universe for longer than covid _ a parallel universe for longer than covid because i started treatment in july 2017 _ covid because i started treatment in july 2017 for stage four cancer metastatic. i started covering my face when — metastatic. i started covering my face when i was in buses and tube play mat — face when i was in buses and tube play mat long before covid and being unbelievably cautious. in the past year and — unbelievably cautious. in the past year and three months i call myself one of— year and three months i call myself one of the — year and three months i call myself one of the thousands of people in solitary— one of the thousands of people in solitary confinement, because i believe — solitary confinement, because i believe had to follow the rules of

former prime minister theresa may who are angry the government has reduced the foreign aid budget from 2.7% of gdp, tojust 0.5% -- reduced the foreign aid budget from 2.7% of gdp, tojust 0.5% —— from 0.7%. this was a pledge enshrined in law and the conservative manifesto and the government unilaterally changed that without having a vote in parliament. there�*s been lots of directed at borisjohnson, particularly because some of the projects that have been cancelled as a result of this foreign aid cut are fundamental, they are projects that protect clean water, help treat people who do not have prosthetic limbs, polio treatment, and there is a real sense of these cuts are leading to loss of life in the developing world. at a time when the pandemic is also raging. and so i got a whiff of this this weekend that basically plan has been drawn up that basically plan has been drawn up to bring a vote to parliament and there is a sense the government

needs to win the goodwill of those rebels because there are further complicated legislation coming through including the police and crime bill which is very controversial. and also a sense of this issue is not going to go away. the leading cheerleaders of this particular cause such as david davis and andrew mitchell, four cabinet ministers, are eagerly looking to sabotage the government at any opportunity, finding gaps in legislation to bring forward this amendment so there is the sense the government realised this is going to create problems for them and they need to be proactive in bringing forward evoked themselves rather than be forced to it. they�*re going to lose that vote at the moment unless they bring forward a compromise. the meeting was held last week between rishi sunak the chancellor and the foreign secretary dominic rob, to try and thrash out the compromise but there has been no real progress on that because the chancellor is entrenched. he is a

very worried about spending cuts. interesting weekend ahead. let�*s move on to another interesting story on the front of the sunday times. don�*t loose to build 10,000 rental homes. carol, ——john lewis to build 10,000 rental homes. lots of individuals are looking at what life looks like after covid and forjohn lewis it is home they say they would charge a fair rent for, using some of their space to build these homes. what did you think that story? poor signal. carol, and going to have to stop you, unfortunately we cannot hear carol, we�*ll move on hope the line clears up. this is in the sunday

times also, another interesting study about something happening in the week ahead, women challenge against this, so the law on abortion. heidi carter is going to the high court this week because she says she�*s challenging what she says is a deeply offensive law that gives a fewer rights to children with down�*s, basically saying unless there is life threatening issue with there is life threatening issue with the foetus after 2a weeks there should not be aborted. your paper has lots of interesting studies this morning, what are your thoughts on that one? this is the sense that in any other situation you can only have an abortion up to a certain number of weeks depending on the status of the baby and the health of the mother exceptin baby and the health of the mother except in the case of down syndrome what you are able to abort up until delivery which is what the central

argument of this is about, that is discriminatory. in a sense it kind of suggest that child is somehow substandard to every other child born in this country. i think that�*s the key argument to be taken to the high court this week. because it sets a really terrible precedent for how we value human life. i think it is a really important case and i think it will absolutely draw some really interesting arguments about this particular type of issue. we are going to finish with raducanu ridge, we had henman hill, murray mound, i don�*t know if we can hear from you again, carol, it is a shame because carol was a wimbledon correspondent in the 1980s. but this is history being made again, isn�*t it, with emma raducanu, just 18 years and 239 days, going through to the last 16 of wimbledon, having

just sat her a—levels. but i hope she keeps going. completely amazing. what is going on? we�*ve got great results in the football and now wimbledon. a young brits reaching the last 16, the youngest to ever do so in the history of the tournament. very exciting. what pressure at a young woman must be under and yet she looked completely cool as a cucumber even though we�*ve been holding our breath, going to deuce and back again and she won at the final point and you could see the relief on her face. it�*s going to be an extraordinaryjourney for her, already picked up 30,000 followers on instagram and it�*s going to be interesting to see how she manages her new sort of celebrity status having basically come from zero to hero overnight. she having basically come from zero to hero overnight.— hero overnight. she is keeping her feet on the — hero overnight. she is keeping her feet on the ground _ hero overnight. she is keeping her feet on the ground she _ hero overnight. she is keeping her feet on the ground she said. - hero overnight. she is keeping her feet on the ground she said. she l feet on the ground she said. she said, i�*m going to have to do some laundry tonight. she given her phone

to her osteopath so she is not overwhelmed by messages so she won�*t be watching this but our thoughts are with her and the very best for emma raducanu and also the england football team. thank you, carol and caroline, sorry about the technical issues, carol, but thank you, both. headlines are coming up at 10am. goodbye for now. of you will stay dry this afternoon and evening with sunny spells, keep your eye for dark gloomy clouds on the horizon, we could see scenes like this, lightning and thunder and the odd torrential downpour that could cause some flash flooding, too. this afternoon for southern england and southern wales the showers or reduced compared to this
