"ow now they must new they must seize it. to progress, now they must seize it. dan roan, thank you. time for a look at the weather. here's sarah keith—lucas. we had a bit of sunshine at wembley and much of the uk has seen blue sky but there have also been heavy showers, this picture from worcester showing there was a big shower clouds and we will keep that theme in the next few days so some sunshine and scattered heavy showers around so let's look at the radar, this is where we have seen the heavy downpours especially for the south west of england, wales and eastern scotland and some of those have produced thunder and lightning but most state north of london so the england semifinal at wembley should stay dry, just an outside chance of a light shower over the next hour or so but these heavy showers will fade away into the evening and overnight, it could be a rumble of thunder in the east in the next few hours but

by thursday morning at most places look bright, clear spells, a few misty patches and temperatures around io—ilith overnight so thursday will be similar to today, some sunshine, probably more than today across much of england and wales and fewer showers, one or two bubbling up fewer showers, one or two bubbling up in the afternoon, if you do catch one it could be heavy with hail and thunder but they will be hit and miss, cloudierforthe thunder but they will be hit and miss, cloudierfor the north west thunder but they will be hit and miss, cloudier for the north west of scotland and northern ireland, with temperatures of 15—23 on thursday. low pressure not far away as we look to the end of the week but a small ridge of high pressure tries to build in on friday so it will be another day of sunshine and showers, most of those showers across parts of eastern england, perhaps scotland, some drier weather between and a few showers in the south—west later on, the temperatures typical for the time of year, between 16 and

23 degrees. we will leave you with live shots of wembley. that is all from us on the bbc news at six. time to join the bbc news at six. time to join the bbc news at six. time to join the bbc news teens is where you are. good evening, i'm only foster, this

is sportsday lie from wembley. here's what's coming up. who's going to be here tonight? the captain harry kane says he is going to be hard to stop as he looks to a fire england into the euro final. but do not underestimate the danes after their emotionaljourney. and i'm austin halewood at the bbc sport centre. also coming up in the programme. roger federerfalls, the roger federer falls, the eight time champion is well beaten in the quarterfinals at wembley. hello and welcome to sportsday. well here we go again. euro 96, russia 2018, major semi finals that

are ingrained on the england identity. heart break every single time. but this england team over the past three weeks, they have broken the mould, they have rewritten history as they have got along, winning against germany and the five clean sheets in a row and they will look to do it again this evening. kick off in the next 90 minutes. we are going to tell you later in the programme why those players are not going to underestimate the threat of denmark. and they have their own particularly emotional story. but there's a party right here on wembley way. the gates have been open for the past hour or so, 20,000 through the group stages. 40,000 for that win against germany. 60,000 now for the semi finals as it will be for the semi finals as it will be for the semi finals as it will be for the final on sunday. and you can really tell the difference. let's head straight to pitch aside now becausejohn

head straight to pitch aside now because john watson head straight to pitch aside now becausejohn watson is there and many of those fans including about 6000 danes hoping for history themselves will be there. talking all day about what gareth southgate has done for this team, and we are going to find out how he's going to set up this england team. goad set up this england team. good evenina. set up this england team. good evening. talking _ set up this england team. good evening. talking about - set up this england team. good evening. talking about those i set up this england team. (13mm evening. talking about those fans packing in here, they are indeed and for that moment of reckoning. if they're going to prove they're capable of winning a major term again for the first time since 1966, that's for the challenge facing gareth southgate and the england side. they change the narrative? all these disappointments that's follow them through tournaments in the past, it started to do that after they consider what they've achieved winning the group came in the european championship for the very first time. for the for this tournament they've only ever one one knockout match of european chipper chip and now have got to. and in the

process knocked out germany as well. then can the quarterfinal against ukraine, scoring owes four goals and emphatic when in the first on the and could have scored four goals in and could have scored four goals in a knockout match in a major tournament since they left of the world cup back in 1966. gareth southgate knows, his quad nose, players know they have to win this match tonight if they are to continue the journey. i5 match tonight if they are to continue the journey. continue the “ourney. is not about what it is continue the 'ourney. is not about what it is for— continue the journey. is not about what it is for me, _ continue the journey. is not about what it is for me, it's _ continue the journey. is not about what it is for me, it's about - continue the journey. is not about what it is for me, it's about what l what it is for me, it's about what it is for— what it is for me, it's about what it is for the — what it is for me, it's about what it is for the players and all of the staff _ it is for the players and all of the staff and — it is for the players and all of the staff. and for our country. we don't have _ staff. and for our country. we don't have as _ staff. and for our country. we don't have as good — staff. and for our country. we don't have as good a football history as we like _ have as good a football history as we like to— have as good a football history as we like to believe sometimes and these _ we like to believe sometimes and these players are making massive strides. _ these players are making massive strides, but you can never determine interments _ strides, but you can never determine interments how things are going to play out _ interments how things are going to play out when you get to the latter stages, _ play out when you get to the latter stages, you recognise that these the moments _ stages, you recognise that these the moments you have to capitalise on. this team _ moments you have to capitalise on. this team now have the experience of

but it was not a brilliant group stage for denmark. the only qualified with a beat russia in their final group qualified with a beat russia in theirfinal group match, finished their final group match, finished second theirfinal group match, finished second behind belgium withjust three points. i don't think that tells the whole story in the produce that brilliant victory and came through the heat to knock out the czech republic. they have beaten england and that came in the nations league last year. very capable side and won all three of the matches so far. that includes await austria as well. of course the dennis goalkeeper won the fa cup here with leicester city so they won't be overruled by this occasion and it's got shades of that 1992 victory at the european championship, i was speaking to the former danish international was playing for liverpool when denmark won that trophy back in 1982 and he tells me just what it meant for the nation to win this tournament. the just what it meant for the nation to win this tournament.— just what it meant for the nation to win this tournament. the further we not and
