single match for him just as they did in theirwin single match for him just as they did in their win against the czech republic last night. it's been a very emotionaljourney for them. there will be worldwide support for denmark and that semifinal at wembley on wednesday, but going in england's favour, they will have the best part of 60,000 fans cheering them on. it promises to be a very special night. them on. it promises to be a very special night-— the government is giving strong signals that all legal restrictions around covid protection will end on the 19thjuly as we learn to live with the virus. the housing secretary, robertjenrick, said this morning that the public must start to exercise personal responsibility, including overface masks, rather than the government telling people what to do. 0ur political correspondent, nick eardley, has he details. nick eardley, has the details. masks and social distancing become part of our lives, but for how much longer? with shops open again, pubs serving pints, the government wants to go further, lifting all legal

restrictions in england. this morning ministers suggested legal rules around face coverings were among those likely to go. it rules around face coverings were among those likely to go. it does look as if, _ among those likely to go. it does look as if, thanks _ among those likely to go. it does look as if, thanks to _ among those likely to go. it does look as if, thanks to the - among those likely to go. it does look as if, thanks to the success | among those likely to go. it does i look as if, thanks to the success of the vaccine programme, that we now have the scope to roll back those restrictions and return to normality as far as possible. we should all be prepared though that cases may continue to rise, they may continue to rise significantly, but we do now have to move into a different period where we learn to live with the virus, we take precautions and we as individuals take personal responsibility. this individuals take personal responsibility.— individuals take personal resonsibili .n , . responsibility. as this graphic shows, responsibility. as this graphic shows. the — responsibility. as this graphic shows, the number _ responsibility. as this graphic shows, the number of - responsibility. as this graphic| shows, the number of positive responsibility. as this graphic - shows, the number of positive cases is rising. but look at this line too, hospitalisations, a key test for the government, are not rising as quickly and that gives ministers some confidence the restrictions can be lifted without overwhelming the health service. the be lifted without overwhelming the health service.— health service. the link is not totally broken, _ health service. the link is not totally broken, there - health service. the link is not totally broken, there are - health service. the link is not i totally broken, there are people health service. the link is not - totally broken, there are people in hospital who have been vaccinated,

but it is severely weakened. so the key aim now is to get as many people vaccinated before july the 19th. key aim now is to get as many people vaccinated beforejuly the 19th. but vaccinated before july the 19th. but some are still urging caution. the british medical association has said some measures should be kept in place later this month. labour says it wants to see the evidence. i place later this month. labour says it wants to see the evidence. i want the economy _ it wants to see the evidence. i want the economy and _ it wants to see the evidence. i want the economy and society _ it wants to see the evidence. i want the economy and society to - it wants to see the evidence. i want the economy and society to open i it wants to see the evidence. i want| the economy and society to open up again. we are all getting sick and tired of the restrictions to our every day lives and doing the things we love, but it is important that if the qr codes will stop, if the masks are going to come off, that we are confident that is the right thing to do. at the moment all we are hearing is briefings from ministers rather than the science behind it. the prime minister _ than the science behind it. the prime minister will detail more of the government's thinking in the next few days. separate decisions will be made for scotland, wales and northern ireland. the period of unprecedented restrictions on our lives looks set to be coming to an

end. teams are preparing to install explosives today on what's left of it department block in miami to control its demolition. the decision was taken to demolish the building following fears of an approaching tropical storm that could endanger the lives of rescue teams. 120 people are still missing. the government wants to give people living in flats with flammable cladding and other fire safety defects up to 15 years to sue developers for their poor construction. it's the ministry of housing's latest attempt to solve the cladding crisis in the wake of the grenfell fire. the proposal is in building safety proposals being presented to parliament tomorrow. here's our business correspondent, katy austin. four years on from the grenfell tower fire, hundreds of other buildings still haven't been made safe. the government says it is putting over £5 billion towards the removal of dangerous cladding. and today, the housing secretary announced a change that will

increase the current six—year time limit for homeowners to seek compensation from developers. fos sub—standard building work. it is not right that either the leaseholder or the taxpayer has to step up. and i am announcing today that we are going to change the law retrospectively to give every home owner 15 years in which to take action against the people who built their building, if there is shoddy workmanship. but some flat owners say this won't help them. this building in sheffield is set to receive £6 million from the government's building safety fund for cladding removal. however, to fix other fire safety defects, the leaseholders still face another £6 million in bills, an average of £50,000 each. willis one of them. i welcome it. it won't help me, my building is over 15 years and even if my building was less than 15 years old, my developer is insolvent so it won't help me. mrjenrick this morning said

on the show that the majority of these buildings were built in the 2000s so it doesn't take a mathematician to work out that by the time the bill is implemented many of those buildings will not benefit from this because they will be over 15 years old. this morning, robertjenrick was challenged on how much power the legal change would actually give leaseholders. all this does is it allows groups of leaseholders, tenants, to get together and take a legal case against a very, very powerful, well funded, well lawyered development company. that is not a level playing field. there is no easy way out of the situation, you are right. i want the developers, the builders, the warranty companies, the insurance, to pay up. i want shoddy workmanship to be paid for by the people who did it, not by the leaseholders. it'll take time for the change in the law to come effect. longer still for legal cases to get going. those stuck in flammable flats they cannot sell say they need help much sooner. that's it.

the next news on bbc one is at ten to six this evening, bye for now. you're watching bbc news withjoanna gosling. a military plane has crashed in the southern philippines. the aircraft with more than 90 people aboard crashed it tried to land on the island ofjolo. 50 people are being treated in hospital. david campanale reports. a large pool of black smoke was seen above the wreckage of the transport plane, a lockheed c 130 hercules supplied to plane, a lockheed c130 hercules supplied to the philippines by the united states. the head of the armed forces says it has mist the runway. it is not clear why. and then try to regain power but had failed and hit

the ground. many of those on board were soldiers. they were flying to the provincial airport ofjolo when the provincial airport ofjolo when the plane came down in patikul. remarkably, number of soldiers were seenjumping out of remarkably, number of soldiers were seen jumping out of the aircraft before it hit the ground, sparing them from the explosion caused by them from the explosion caused by the crash according to an army statement. dozens of soldiers were pulled from the site of the burning wreckage. they are now receiving hospital treatment. the soldiers were part of the military�*s stepped up were part of the military�*s stepped up presence in the southern philippines to combat islamist militants such as the abu sayyaf group. 0fficials there said there was no sign that the aircraft had been attacked and an investigation would start once the rescue operation was complete. many of those on board had only recently completed basic military training. david campanale e, bbc news. more on the housing secretary's robertjenrick suggesting the wearing of face coverings will soon be a matter of personal choice when

coronavirus restrictions are eastern the 19th ofjuly in england. he told the 19th ofjuly in england. he told the bbc�*s andrew marr that the success of the vaccination programme at a much more permissive regime of covid measures could be put in place. i spoke tojoe twyman, the co—founder of a public opinion consultancy and asked him how people might feel about the relaxing of wearing facemasks. consistently a ma'ori of wearing facemasks. consistently a majority of peeple _ wearing facemasks. consistently a majority of people have _ wearing facemasks. consistently a majority of people have said - wearing facemasks. consistently a majority of people have said they l majority of people have said they support the rule is that the people should wear masks in public places but there is a distinction, as with so many areas of survey work, a distinction between people who say they support the policy and the actual practice and behaviour of people wearing them. and i think a lot will come down to exactly what is seen on the streets. and so it's all very well in the abstract concept of a server instrument saying i will or i won't do this but i think when people actually see changes in behaviour as a result of what we assume will happen on the

19th ofjuly, then i think we will see a greater evolution of public opinion. it may well be that if people start taking masks off, then a snowball effect will occur, and indeed the opposite may be true. if people see that actually most people keep their masks on, particularly on things like public transport, that may bring about the change as well. it will be very interesting, and really it is impossible to predict, because this is such a complicated situation. there are so many different elements at play. and situation. there are so many different elements at play. and what about the issue _ different elements at play. and what about the issue of _ different elements at play. and what about the issue of vaccination? - different elements at play. and what about the issue of vaccination? we l about the issue of vaccination? we heard from robertjenrick that there are still people in categories 1—9 who haven't been vaccinated. we are in the position where the restrictions are going to be eased because of the vaccination programme. does that becoming more important factor going forward in of people being interested or concerned about whether those in their workplace, those around them, are

vaccinated? i wonder whether you vaccinated ? i wonder whether you have vaccinated? i wonder whether you have done any research on how much of a contingent there is still holding out against vaccination because when we look at the stats a huge proportion have been vaccinated, 85% have now had one vaccination. vaccinated, 85% have now had one vaccination-— vaccination. that's right. i write one in 12 people _ vaccination. that's right. i write one in 12 people have _ vaccination. that's right. i write i one in 12 people have consistently said they are against having the vaccine —— around one in 12. that is not mean they are anti—all vaccinations, the classic anti—vaxxer, it also includes people who are simply afraid of needles, for example, or those people that think that this particular vaccine in their view has not been tested sufficiently and so they are a bit cautious about it. and we have seen a small reduction in that number since the vaccine number is rolled out and more and more people were vaccinated. but it's definitely true that there is a hard core of resistance. how those people respond to the change in circumstances is interesting because some of those

people have been very anti lock down from the beginning so they are not just anti—vax, they are anti—lockdown as well so they will be happy and more than delighted to walk around without masks on. on the other hand, there are some people within that group who are very supportive of lockdowns, masks and so forth, and so exactly how it plays out remains to be seen. but i imagine that we will still see some issues around that, particularly if the government introduces some sort of rules around access to certain things only being given to vaccinations. the government doesn't even need to introduce those rules. individual organisations and businesses and offices could turn round and say actually, we won't allow anyone to work in this office unless they have been vaccinated. that starts to raise a really interesting questions about how the public views the whole thing. jae public views the whole thing. joe t man. public views the whole thing. joe twyman. the headlines on bbc news. a brilliant night for england in rome as they thrashed ukraine and move on

to the semifinals of the euros. a government minister suggests wearing face coverings will be a matter of personal choice when coronavirus restrictions are eased in england on 19th july. at least 29 people have died after a military plane crashed in the southern philippines. time for the sports round—up with the latest from jane. hello there. england manager gareth southgate says england in a semifinal will be great for the moral of the country. it comes after 20.9 million people watched on television as england beat ukraine 4—0 last night in the euros, putting england's men through to a first european championship semifinal since 1996. immediately after the match, southgate said he was already looking ahead to their next opponants denmark, a team they've played fairly recently. we had two games with denmark in the autumn. i knew what a good side they

were before and they have proved that again in this tournament. they are obviously riding a wave of emotion after what happened with christian as well and that's understandable. so it's going to be a fantastic game to be a part of. we have got more experience as a group of those sorts of games and individually the players have experience of those games, which is definitely helpful. but we have got to do that now on wednesday night. i'm conscious it's notjust our country that's been through so much difficulty. but we have also had a lot of division for a little while and i know that these england nights are nights that bring everybody together, communities, families, and so to give them so much enjoyment over the last two matches in particular, but i think the ones before as well, and to have them with hope looking forward to now is

part of the privilege of being in thejob, really. part of the privilege of being in the job, really.— part of the privilege of being in the “ob, reall . ~ . the job, really. with the excitement surrounding — the job, really. with the excitement surrounding england's _ the job, really. with the excitement surrounding england's progress - the job, really. with the excitement surrounding england's progress at l surrounding england's progress at the european championship, it is easy to forget that the copa america has also reached the semifinal stage and line on the was instrumental in securing argentina's place in the last four. messi provided assists for his side's first two goals against ecuador and then capped a stunning individual performance with a goal in injury time to seal a 3—0 victory. argentina face colombia on wednesday while brazil meet peru in the other semifinal on tuesday. some breaking news in the last few minutes. crystal palace has confirmed that former arsenal midfielder patrick vieira will be their new manager. the club posted the news on social media. it had been widely speculated that the arsenal legend would replace roy hodgson at crystal palace, confirmation now that he has signed a three year contract. considered one of the best players of his generation, vieira won three premier league titles and four fa cups at arsenal. he also won the world cup

with france in 1998. england's bowlers are on top against sri lanka in the third and final one day international in bristol. once again england elected to field after winning the toss and soon made inroads into the tourists batting. chris woakes, david willey and tom curran have each taken two wickets. a few moments ago sri lanka were 120—7 after 29 overs. england already have an unassailable 2—0 lead in the series. --121-7. —— 121—7. now to --121-7. now to formula 1. the austrian grand prix gets under way in around 45 minutes' time, and lewis hamilton will have to throw everything at max verstappen to stop him from winning the formula one championship. for the second week in a row, the dutchman claimed pole position at the red bull ring. 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, and currently lies 18 points behind verstappen in the drivers�* standings.

i don't have an answer for it. we just weren't any quicker, we put in the time and worked so hard to improve the car but this is our underlying pace. i don't know if they have improved the car again this weekend. i have no idea but we haven't. wejust this weekend. i have no idea but we haven't. we just have to keep working. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories, plus keep track of stage nine of the tour de france on the bbc sport website. that's bbc.co.uk/sport. thank you, see you later. borisjohnson may do a u—turn on planned cuts to the foreign aid budget, reports in the sunday times so the prime minister will allow mps a vote on the issue before parliament breaks for the summer recess. there has been growing controversy over the plans which would see the uk's spending on aid slashed from 0.7% down to 0.5% of national income. 50 conservative mps, including former prime minister

theresa may, are amongst those against the £4 billion cut. 0ne theresa may, are amongst those against the £4 billion cut. one of those mps is tobias ellwood who joins me now. thank you forjoining us. have you been given any assurances that there will be a vote? no, i've only seen the reports in the papers today but i very much welcome this rethink. and i do think it will happen before the summer recess. the uk prides itself on its strength to identify problems across the world, find solutions and technicians with them. so this decision to cut our aid budget has caused huge harm both on a strategic and operational level. it has damaged our hard—fought reputation as a soft power, a superpower, it has sent a poor example to other nations, to us as a permanent member of the united nations security council had with persuade others to stand with us? we were the only g7 nation at the summit this summer to actually cut our budget. and operationally, this saves lives. this money provide support for clean water, polio vaccinations, tackling

hiv and of course the critical humanitarian support in places like yemen, syria and libya. those vacuums get filled either by extremists or indeed by other nations with very different agendas. if china or russia push in they will pursue very different agendas and it's very difficult to get back in there for us.— it's very difficult to get back in there for us. the reports say the government _ there for us. the reports say the government is — there for us. the reports say the government is concerned - there for us. the reports say the government is concerned this i there for us. the reports say the i government is concerned this issue is making the tory party look like the nasty party, a term that has been around for a long time, and occasionally rears its head. is that a description that you would apply in the context of this? i a description that you would apply in the context of this?— in the context of this? i won't promote _ in the context of this? i won't promote or— in the context of this? i won't promote or go _ in the context of this? i won't promote or go down - in the context of this? i won't promote or go down that - in the context of this? i won't - promote or go down that particular rabbit hole. i think there is a greater understanding because of this wider debate as we are discussing now about exactly how our aid budget and how our soft power is used and how critical these programmes are at the consequences when we retreat. the mike wood programmes, the problems of dover,

will not be solved by royal navy ships in the channel but by tackling instability at source. that requires overseas aid. but i think there is a bigger picture afoot here. the world is getting more complex and more dangerous. we have seen that because of covid, countries retreating. there is a new cold war taking place here, it is a soft power walk, it's russia and china, but particularly china leveraging and lowering more and more countries, ensnaring them into their spheres of influence, and it is done through soft power. i think the general public is very much now behind us and our aid budgets, as indeed as parliament, and i think it's now time to put this to a vote and make sure we get back to where we were. don't forget all of the main parties�* manifestos supported this and that's exactly what global britain should be about. you said, and the reports say you are hoping for a vote before the recess, 22nd ofjuly is when that happens, so there isn't long to go. what is this a bit of time frame you are prepared to give this before you

get any clarification on this? and what would your next step be if there isn't a vote? i what would your next step be if there isn't a vote?— there isn't a vote? i think we should recognise _ there isn't a vote? i think we should recognise that - there isn't a vote? i think we should recognise that there l there isn't a vote? i think we | should recognise that there is there isn't a vote? i think we - should recognise that there is 0.596 should recognise that there is 0.5% cut has already taken place this year, our compromise would be to say let's recognise that, but for next year get back to 0.7%. i'm not going to put time limit on it, i'm simply pleased we are off ramping here, going in a direction that both the government and those supporting this can move towards and that's a very welcome indeed. this is what global britain is all about, this is about us playing our role on the international stage. we need our hard power and our soft power and you don't achieve that by cutting the aid budget. when you said about that compromise of going back to are the conversations around that? you were hoping your amendment would get voted on but it didn't a tribute to andrew mitchell, my parliamentary colleagues, who has been leading on

this. the voice across parliament is very clear, and indeed my own party. there are many ministers i can say privately are concerned about this. it is recognised that times are tough because of covid, but don't forget because it is it is affected by the size of the economy and i would reiterate so many other countries around the world are not cutting their budgets, they are absolutely increasing them, and i underline and stress at this point, the next ten or 20 years will be dominated by soft power capabilities. the of war and of utilising soft power to enhance your own agendas. and china and russia are doing it in spades and we need that the debate seems to be going within the government that there is now this apparent readiness to hold a vote. . , ., , ., now this apparent readiness to hold a vote. . , ., i. ., ,, a vote. the arguments that you make obviously are — a vote. the arguments that you make obviously are about _ a vote. the arguments that you make obviously are about this _ a vote. the arguments that you make obviously are about this being - a vote. the arguments that you make obviously are about this being soft i obviously are about this being soft power, its not about necessarily the pounds and pence of it. but

obviously the reason it was brought in in the first place was because of financial constraints around covid, and also a sense that out there a lot of people think why spend so much money on foreign aid when we need that money at home?- need that money at home? these arguments _ need that money at home? these arguments are — need that money at home? these arguments are fully _ need that money at home? these arguments are fully understood. i need that money at home? these i arguments are fully understood. but ultimately if covid is allowed to thrive outside of the uk and it mutates into another variant again we will still be subjected to those problems. we need to work together. if like—minded countries are not able to take the initiative, then what is global britain mean? we should be stepping forward, we should be stepping forward, we should be stepping forward, we should be taking that initiative. that's exactly what the british taxpayer would want the money to go to. i would be the first to say historically since the overseas aid jet came in and there have been some spurious spending in programmes which should never have received any funding. afghanistan is a great example where we tried to win that
