no papers just yet because of a certain game at wembley. it seems to have caught the journalists and printers up in the action. they're waiting for that key picture to put on the front of tomorrow's papers. the score line for those unaware is england ahead 2-1, for those unaware is england ahead 2—1, and that second goalfrom harry kane an extra time off the back of a penalty that he missed. after the goalie had rejected that ball. let's bring you want to other news. more than 200 bonfires have been built in northern ireland ahead of the annual?12th of july?celebrations this year, and they're getting bigger than ever. the loyalist tradition which celebrates the victory of a protestant king, over a catholic king at the battle of the boyne in 1690, can cause tensions between communities in some areas, but for others it's an important way to celebrate british culture in northern ireland. our correspondent emma vardy has

been to see one of the huge bonfires being built. layer upon layer, built by hand, this bonfire has grown into gigantic proportions. the much—prized structure has been constructed by the community in craigyhill, and they're hoping it'll be the largest bonfire in northern ireland. it's roughly, at the moment, reached 70 feet, so we're hoping to get maybe 120. what's the secret to building a bonfire like this? top secret. what's no secret is that this is precarious work. bonfire builders scale its height to add more pallets on top. it's more than 250 pallets tall. so, the guys who go right on top there, are theyjust the most experienced, or the fittest, or...? most of the people who are working on here have been at it since they were kids. and the next generation are already learning. we were helping build the base and stuff. we're hoping for a world record.

going for a record? yeah. usually, pallets are passed up the bonfire by hand, but today, they have some assistance. this is a pretty serious construction project, and the community have raised £20,000 for all those pallets to make it happen. it's a great source of pride, it's a statement of identity. but every year, bonfires will also cause a bit of contention. community representatives in north belfast are trying to calm tensions over a bonfire which has been built at an interface between the mainly protestant and mainly catholic area. and political leaders have condemned a bonfire in portadown, where election posters were burnt along with irish and palestinian flags. that's clearly promotion of hate, and i think there's a hugejob of work to be done in order to bring these more provocative acts to an end. but this bonfire in craigyhill gets support regarding safety from the local council and receives funding to hold a family day for children before

it goes up in flames. it'sjust part of the culture we carry on, and we want to retain that culture. some of the bonfires will burn the irish flag. what do you say about those bonfires that people will argue could cause offence? well, that goes on on both sides. on 15th august, you'll get a bonfire on the catholic side. they will put flags up and they'll burn things. it's just the way things are here, you know? symbolic of the strongly held traditions in loyalist areas of northern ireland that, farfrom diminishing with time, are this year larger than ever. emma vardy, bbc news, larne. a baby from gloucester has become one of the first nhs patients in england to be treated with a potentially life—saving drug. riley cadle—birch was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy at just four weeks old. it means he can't lift his head because his muscles are so weak. but he's now undergone specialist gene therapy at bristol children's hospital. matthew hill reports. the nurses call him "smiley riley" — and he has a lot to smile about,

after being given the world's most expensive drug. he has spinal muscular atrophy, or sma, a condition which causes progressive muscle weakness. without treatment, those affected rarely reach beyond the age of two. this is when he was really poorly. we had to intubate him and put them on life support for three days. in those three days, we had them christened and registered because we was all preparing for the worst. this single infusion should prevent further loss of nerve cells. the list price of this drug is about £1.8 million, about the nhs has negotiated a confidential discount that will enable dozens of infected infants to be treated each year. but doctors still needed to be sure it would help riley. he had to be able to come off a ventilator for eight hours a day at least, otherwise there was no quality—of—life there, so we managed to do that. he is been improving with his movement and his breathing, so they decided to have a big meeting about it and he got approved for it, which was the best feeling

in the world, obviously. what's incredible is that this treatment may permanently stop any further treatment may permanently stop any furthe . ,. . ., it contains a healthy copy of a missing or faulty gene called smn1. this is inserted into a harmless virus. in the body, the virus delivers the replacement gene into the nucleus of motor neuron cells. this is essential to prevent those cells from gradually dying. the now healthy motor neuron cells start producing the missing smn1 protein. this has opened up a door for other genetic diseases, cystic fibrosis, and all types of other rare diseases. matthew hill, bbc points west. some other infants have seen their condition notjust stabilise, but in proof, and week later, riley's mum is very optimistic.—

goalkeeper. but he kept his eye on the ball and he was straight in to kick it back. this time, into the net. it allowed england to secure its first—ever place in a final in a major international football competition since that world cup in 1966, and i suspect you won't have forgotten that result, even if you weren't born. people's expectations have been high, but most people were trying to restrain their optimism to see how the match went. dan, can you hear me? , , , ., hear me? yes, this is the moment that english _ hear me? yes, this is the moment that english football— hear me? yes, this is the moment that english football has _ hear me? yes, this is the moment that english football has been - that english football has been waiting 55 years for. not since 1966, when england won the world cup here at wembley. if the first time

that england have played a final of the euros as well, we know they'll play italy. but you can see and hear it behind me what this means to england's fans. semifinal defeat to be part of england's identity. the world cup three years ago under gareth southgate, but since then, he has let a revival. this was the first time his side was really tested in the zeros. first time, they conceded a goal and faced adversity. they have a true resilience that got them there. at the latter stages, they pressed and the latter stages, they pressed and the players they brought on really made a difference. it was no surprise when rahim sterling one that crucial penalty in the first

period of extra time, and although harry kane needed a second attempt after the heroic casper schmeichel saved his initial accident. he couldn't stop following up, and that proved decisive. england were given up proved decisive. england were given up fantastic challenged by denmark, who have been super motivated. a real sense of destiny about this team since their star player mentioned arison had their cause —— christian eriksson had that cardiac arrest. they've showed such part all the way till the end, but england going through and their fans will claim it is coming home now. maybe it is. i think after coming through that test, few would bet against them. if that test, few would bet against them. , ., ..,

1966. different tournament, but if they can do it, they will share the same legendary status as those world cup winning heroes of. dan. same legendary status as those world cup winning heroes of.— cup winning heroes of. dan, let me ask ou cup winning heroes of. dan, let me ask you finally. _ cup winning heroes of. dan, let me ask you finally, how _ cup winning heroes of. dan, let me ask you finally, how insignificant i ask you finally, how insignificant do you think it has been to have this match and so many of england's match is played on the home territory?— match is played on the home territo ? ~ , ., ., territory? well, you can hear the atmosphere _ territory? well, you can hear the atmosphere at — territory? well, you can hear the atmosphere at wembley, - territory? well, you can hear the atmosphere at wembley, you . territory? well, you can hear the| atmosphere at wembley, you can territory? well, you can hear the - atmosphere at wembley, you can feel that the years of hurt and desperate longing for england to make it through to make a tournament final finally given release. it's been a huge advantage. all but one of their matches have been here so far, and the final will also be here. england always knew that would be the case. they had to take advantage and seize that opportunity. it was very one—sided, the last match in rome, the one game they played away. they were given much more of a battle here. you can't overstate the

importance of home advantage. but england had to capitalise, and they've done that, and several players have come of age and this will go down as one of the most important result in england's history. reminding everybodyjust the second time in history that england have made it through to the final of the major tournament. dan final of the ma'or tournament. dan roan, final of the ma'or tournament. dan roan. thank— final of the major tournament. dan roan, thank you _ final of the major tournament. dan roan, thank you so much for persisting on the delay on the line. i think you're going to have an equally slow progress out of that stadium tonight as you fight your way out among all those cheering and celebrating fans. thanks so much. dan roan in the heart of the action. it is the papers. let's talk to our reviewers. there aren't many papers to look at right now. with me are the broadcaster henry bonsu and the former trade minister lord digbyjones. thank you very much. we're going to

from a few patches where that familiar wondering of concentration against the italians on sunday, the team showed up and particularly in extra time. it really paid off because we had a lot more energy in the danes. the boys did very well. digby? the danes. the boys did very well. dib ? the danes. the boys did very well. digby?_ good - the danes. the boys did very well. i digby?_ good evening. digby? good evening. good evening. i've known you _ digby? good evening. good evening. i've known you for _ digby? good evening. good evening. i've known you for years, _ digby? good evening. good evening. i've known you for years, and - digby? good evening. good evening. i've known you for years, and i - i've known you for years, and i never— i've known you for years, and i never knew _ i've known you for years, and i never knew you knew so little about football _ never knew you knew so little about football. �* , football. laughter go on! _ football. laughter go on! i'm - football. laughter go on! i'm teasing i football. laughter - go on! i'm teasing you. i football. laughter _ go on! i'm teasing you. i thought that was excellent. _ go on! i'm teasing you. i thought that was excellent. let _ go on! i'm teasing you. i thought that was excellent. let me - go on! i'm teasing you. i thought that was excellent. let me take i go on! i'm teasing you. i thought| that was excellent. let me take it on from _ that was excellent. let me take it on from there. the first thing to say is _ on from there. the first thing to say is that— on from there. the first thing to say is that for those who are interested in the way the paper review— interested in the way the paper review is— interested in the way the paper review is put together, henry and i will get _ review is put together, henry and i will get the front pages as they come _ will get the front pages as they come through.
