10:02 am
17 people have been killed in the country's worst disaster in 70 years. it crashed onjolo island. the incident happened when the plane missed the runway and try to be gained power. many of those on board had recently completed basic training for that they were being deployed to the region as part of a joint task force, fighting along —— a long war against islamist militants. as you mentioned, all of the rest, 84, were soldiers, just completed basic training. they only went to
10:03 am
the island ofjolo to begin an operation against militants operating in the area. they had been operating in the area. they had been operating their full several decades. the main group were islamic militants, more known over recent years for kidnapping people for ransom, earning money that way. there has been an ongoing military operation against them. that is what the recruits were there to try to fight. the recruits were there to try to fi . ht. ., f . the recruits were there to try to fi . ht. ., , . , the recruits were there to try to fiuht. ., , . , ., fight. how difficult will it be to mount a search _ fight. how difficult will it be to mount a search and _ fight. how difficult will it be to mount a search and rescue - fight. how difficult will it be to - mount a search and rescue operation in that area? i do mount a search and rescue operation in that area?— in that area? i do not think it is too difficult. _ in that area? i do not think it is too difficult. as _ in that area? i do not think it is too difficult. as she _ in that area? i do not think it is too difficult. as she mentioned| in that area? i do not think it is l too difficult. as she mentioned in the introduction to this report, the aircraft was approaching a random strip on the island ofjolo. for some reason it missed the runway and was attempting to pull back up. it did not succeed and then crashed. the accident appears to have happened in a built—up area near the
10:04 am
airport. picture show that some of the aircraft appears to have remained intact, although it was on fire. —— pictures. there were plumes of smoke coming from the side. the rescue operation is not too difficult in terms of the operation. the enquiry into what happened will surely now begin. england are heading to theirfirst 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. spain and italy face each other on tuesday also at wembley stadium in the other semi. mark lobel reports. # i cannot escape, and i cannot forget!# for england fans that travelled to italy for this one, the sky is the limit. the only thing perhaps worth flagging up now —
10:05 am
for once — is overconfidence. if you were gonna offer us a tournament semifinal against denmark, you take that every time. so at wembley, i think, it is not in doubt at all. ukraine's fans found solace in equalling their greatest run in a major international football tournament. translation: ukraine got to the quarterfinals. - we lost to england. there are no weak rivals in the quarterfinals. this is not a problem. england got off to a flying start. kane slotted home a superb pass from sterling after only four minutes. barely a minute into the second half, maguire powered home a headerfrom shaw's free kick to give england some breathing space. four minutes later, shaw provided a perfect cross, headed in from six yards by kane. then it was england's fourth from substitute henderson — his first international goal on his 62nd appearance. it was a fifth successive clean
10:06 am
sheet for a jubilant england. on a night that was beautiful for football with the weather, i think inspired the players and they gave a fantastic performance. england face denmark in the semifinals after they beat the czech republic in baku. they led from the fifth minute when delaney evaded his marker to head in from a corner. they made it 2—0 just before half—time with dolberg volleying in a superb cross from maehle. but it was the czech republic's schick volleying the next one, his fifth goal of the tournament, taking him level with portugal's cristiano ronaldo in the race for the golden boot. yet, denmark held on. standing between them and the final is gareth southgate's england. it's a chance to make history — we have never been to a european championship final, so it's not so much pressure for this team, it's another
10:07 am
challenge that they've got the chance to take on. bbc commentator guy mowbray described the feeling for england's fans during the ukraine match as "the greatest therapy session watching england you've ever had." they will soon find out if this competition also offers a lasting cure to years of hurt. mark lobel, bbc news. john watson is in rain. it is astonishing. there is a feeling of, did that really happen? a 4—0 victory, the match did not go to penalties. it is probably the most relaxing any england fan can remember seeing england play in a
10:08 am
tournament. this is a huge opportunity for england and gareth southgate. make no bones about it. the signs of progress are there. they won their first group match at european championship for the first time. this is the first time they had scored four goals or more since they beat germany in the final back in 1966, some 55 years it has taken england to produce a scoreline like that in a knockout match in a major tournament. england going in the right direction. it is a case of can they keep professionalism going? the hypeis they keep professionalism going? the hype is only going to grow, isn't it? as this team heads back to wembley for the semifinal to come against denmark. there is a clear route to the final on the 11th of july. it is a case of england maintaining its focus on trying to get thejob done. maintaining its focus on trying to get the job done. playing maintaining its focus on trying to get thejob done. playing on home soil in front of 60,000 fans back at
10:09 am
wembley now for the semifinal, there might not be a better chance for england to enter the long wait. about one the biggest stage. it is back to back semifinals at major tournaments for gareth southgate for the first time since 1968. he has called it his everest, getting through to the final. they are getting place, one match away from reaching the final for euro 2020. sarah raynsford has been speaking to ukraine fans. the fans we have been speaking to all day were massively enthusiastic, as you might expect, going into the game. they were ignoring the statistics, the facts of course, that england was a firm favourite and letting their hearts rule their heads to some extent. they were telling me all day they felt ukraine could win and the very least they thought they could end the clean sheet
10:10 am
england has held on to. they thought they could score. it took just four minutes for their dreams to start to shatter and faces in the fan zones where we were last night were a bit of a sad picture to watch. there were 10,000 fans squeezed into one of the squares here in the city. there were other fan zones in the city, others across the country, as ukraine dared to dream they could make more history here. what they are clinging on to is the fact this was an historic performance by ukraine, the first time in a quarterfinal of a european championship. even as that massively crushing defeat came in, at the end of the match, they were clapping, they were cheering, they were shouting, "ukraine!" they are proud of theirteam, and fans afterwards were telling me, "look, this is a moment to be proud, to be happy we have got this far and to see as start of something better, not the end a dream." injapan, the search and rescue effort has resumed following a landslide which devastated the ciy of atami. a popular hot—spring resort in the prefecture of shizuoka, southwest of tokyo. two bodies have been found and 20
10:11 am
people are still missing. tanya dendrinos reports. as the morning mist envelops the mountains, below, a city lies smothered. the buildings still standing tell a tale as stark as those destroyed, painted by the torrent of mud that tore through atami on saturday. translation: it was l an unimaginable sound. i knew it was a landslide. translation: the mudslide came really close, right in front of my house. translation: it was l an unimaginable sound. i knew it was a landslide. translation: the mudslide came really close, right in front of my house. i couldn't get away, so i climbed up a ladder. i could hear it coming before i saw it.
10:12 am
rescue teams are still searching for survivors. translation: we're doing everything we can in putting people's lives first. the police, fire department, japan coast guard and self—defense forces are working hard to rescue and search for people. but due to the weather, we're unable to fly helicopters 0pen dragon and drones for the rescue missions. a landslide followed heavy rainfall in the prefecture with some areas receiving close to 800mm in just three days. an emergency task force has been established and residents remain on alert with more rain to come. tanya dendrinos, bbc news. let's look at some of the day's other news. officials in mexico city have said they will increase the compensation awarded to relatives of 26 people who died when a metro railway line collapsed onto a street. each family will receive around $101,000. initial results from an independent investigation indicated that the collapse was caused by flaws in the construction. indonesia has imposed a partial lockdown in the capitaljakarta, across the main island ofjava and on bali as it deals with an unprecedented wave of coronavirus infections.
10:13 am
mosques, restaurants and shopping malls were closed in virus hotspots. on friday it recorded 25,000 new cases alone with 80% of them being the delta variant. in austria, nightclubs have opened for the first time in 18 months since the start of the pandemic. at some clubs in vienna people queued for up to three hours to get in. 0nly people who've been vaccinated, had a negative covid test or who have recently recovered from coronavirus were allowed in and the policy was being strictly enforced by door staff. search efforts for possible survivors of the collapse of a tower block in miami have been temporarily suspended, to allow for the demolition of the rest of the building. there are fears an approaching tropical storm could bring down debris onto search teams. 24 people are known to have died with more than 120 still unaccounted for. 0ur north america correspondent david willis has the latest. for those leading the painstaking recovery effort, it's now a race against time.
10:14 am
a tropical storm is bearing down on miami, packing winds of up to 70 mph. 0fficials 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. 0nce complete, however, the effort will give officials their first access to the garage area, which has been the focus of the search so far. meanwhile, residents of another miami apartment building have been evacuated after engineers came across concrete and electrical problems. their building isjust seven miles
10:15 am
from the one that collapsed. there, two more bodies were discovered overnight, bringing the total confirmed dead to 24. david willis, bbc news, washington. at least four people have been killed in a wildfire in cyprus. the blaze is spreading through an area north of the cities of limassol and larnaca and has forced the evacuation of several villages. greece, italy and israel are sending planes to cyprus following an appeal for help. at least 17 people have died and 40 others have been rescued after a military plane crashed in the southern philippines. a brilliant night for england in rome — as they thrash ukraine, and move on to the semi

finals of the euros. here, the health secretary, sajid javid, says there is a "compelling" case that easing covid restrictions in england 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 on july the 19th. 0ur 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 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:
10:17 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's 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. robertjenrick was challenged by andrew marr about social etiquette going forwards if the day injuly is

10:19 am
a controversial law. the law, passed by parliament in mid—june, forbids the portrayal or promotion of homosexuality among children. nick thorpe sent this report from budapest, on reaction to the law in the gay community and the government s response to the wave of international condemnation. when their son, andres sets off for kindergarten, marton and his husband, adam — like any other parents — tidy his room. but unlike most other parents, they're both men. and they're leading a campaign to oppose the government view that a family can only mean one woman, one man, and their offspring. we wanted to show that the family is not an exclusive club. and we want it to show that hungarian same—sex parents, hungarian rainbow families, are — exist. we are part of the society. we are here, and we do have a face. do you feel you are winning the argument?
10:20 am
it's not about winning and losing. it's about — we do want is best for this society. we do want what is best for the kids, and this law is not helping the kids. this law is putting all the kids, not only lgbtq kids, putting them into a very dark place. when prime minister viktor 0rban arrived in brussels for an eu summit after the law was passed, he got a hostile reception. it's not about homosexuality, it's about the kids and the parents. that's all. reporter: but they criticise it. yeah, yeah. but it's the hungarian law. reporter: will you withdraw the law? the law? no. it's already announced. it's published. it's done. with this law, viktor 0rban tried to rally his own supporters ahead of a crunch election next spring. protecting children, he thought, is a sure vote—winner. but it was also designed to impress an international public. from brazil to poland, the name 0rban is already known. and everybody understands that there is a politician who is thinking in the modern word, he's not living in the 19th century, but he's trying to give conservative answers.
10:21 am
as the danube divides the hungarian capital, so the hungarian government has divided society with this controversy. both sides claim the high moral ground. the reputation and prestige of hungary is on the line. nick thorpe, bbc news, budapest. paintings from andy warhol are being exhibited for the first time at the tehran museum of contemporary art — in iran. the masterpieces had been left for decades in the museum's storage, away from the public�*s eye. sara monetta reports. bright colours, nervous lines, andy warhol's work is unmistakable. but these paintings are even more extraordinary because they've never been seen before. now they're on display for the first time in their home, tehran. translation: when i heard about a new exhibition - on andy warhol, i thought it was happening abroad. but no, it's happening here. it's a real surprise. i didn't know we had any warhol work.
10:22 am
these, like hundreds of other pieces, were bought in the 1960s, by iran's empress, who posed for warhol herself. after the iranian revolution in 1979, these artworks remained locked away from sight in the museum's storage. the empress' collection is one of the largest in the world, it counts 3,500 masterpieces and has been valued at over three billion euros. the museum's curators think it's time to start sharing their treasure with the public. people are much more up—to—date in iran than — about the west than west — about iran. andy warhol broke down barriers in the art world. the curators hope his work could do the same with some of the barriers between iran and the west. sara monetta, bbc news.
