reaching their first final of a major tournament since 1966. england will face italy in sunday's final. haiti's president, jovenel moyees, has been assassinated inside his residence. the interim prime minister has declared a state of emergency. the white house called the killing �*horrific�* and offered to help with any investigation. the former south african president, jacob zuma, is in police custody, according to a police spokesperson. last week, the constitutional court found him guilty of contempt for defying its order to appear before a corruption inquiry. afghan security forces have carried out air strikes in bardgiss province to try to turn back an advance by the taliban. officials say special forces managed to dislodge taliban fighters who had taken over key government buildings.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the broadcaster henry bonsu and the former trade minister lord digbyjones. let's take a look at the front pages we have in so far. surprise, surprise, the reason they were all late. they would sell some extra copies on thursday morning. the end of a 55—year—wait. the telegraph leads with the moment the team celebrated captain harry kane's winning goal against denmark, which took the final score to 2—1. the metro also mark the win and looks ahead to sunday's showdown against italy. the times reports that it wasn't a clear path to tonight's victory, as southgate�*s side came from behind

to beat the danes for the side's first big win since 1966. could it be one for the history books? a win on sunday would �*match the immortals in 1966' — that's according to the mirror. the football fairy tale — the i reports that raheem sterling's greatest performance for his country sets up showdown with italy. it also features eight—time wimbledon champion roger federer�*s exit from the tournament in the quarterfinals. more team celebrations on the front of the express, as well as a shot of manager gareth southgate. and kane you believe it — more disbelief on the front of the daily mail alongside an image of team captain harry kane. we're at a get those later, i suspect. i started with henry last time, so i'm going to start with you, digby. the

front of the daily mirror, finally, a human peer admitted of england players celebrating —— human pyramid. players celebrating -- human - ramid. , , , pyramid. interesting. this is another review _ pyramid. interesting. this is another review of _ pyramid. interesting. this is another review of the - pyramid. interesting. this is. another review of the papers. pyramid. interesting. this is - another review of the papers. the headline of the mirror is the only one to use the pun. i don't blame them. it is finally. interesting point. whether it is the mirror who have gone for the 55 years of hurt, we're still waiting on the rest, the difference with 66 — by the way, i think we establish that i was the only three of us that i was alive — i was a cub scout and watched the team on black—and—white telly. but

the difference is that was the world cup, and we shouldn't get carried away. but that is the world cup and thatis away. but that is the world cup and that is the championships. secondly, one of the biggest problems managers have, leaders and businesses is to get guys and girls up when they've had already exhausted energy getting there. a classic in the example is the england rugby team with the semifinal injapan, beating the all blacks. they spent all their emotional and your energy, but nevertheless, england let himself down. players doing really well, and then the next game, they don't do so well. i think southgate �*s biggest problem is to deal with this enormous press and media

triumphalism, which i chaired. i'm not being a killjoy. i think it's fabulous —— which i share. i think they were waiting to excite the new stands. but i think southgate is the man for the job right now. stands. but i think southgate is the man for thejob right now. he's stands. but i think southgate is the man for the job right now. he's very good with common sense and keeping feet on the ground, and actually, taking the selflessness, the personal egos out of football in that team. ijust hope they don't get carried away —— taking the selfishness. but it's just enormous. the nation, as with every country, the nation has been under with covid. to give everybody some wonderful relief, i think it's tremendous. well done to them and congratulations to england.- congratulations to england. henry, the oint congratulations to england. henry, the point that _ congratulations to england. henry, the point that digby _ congratulations to england. henry,

the point that digby was _ congratulations to england. henry, the point that digby was making i congratulations to england. henry, l the point that digby was making very eloquently about trying to lift people's spirits, and we saw a bit of that with roger federer and his departure from wimbledon. he really didn't seem to be on form. he seemed tired, and at times, a bit listless against the younger and rising talent. you can't criticise this team's energy. there is a beautiful sub on the front of the daily telegraph, this human pyramid which if assizes what digbyjones is saying —— if assizes. the team is greater than the individuals that make it up. the telegraph calls it the history boys. i make it up. the telegraph calls it the history boys.— the history boys. i love that. you've got — the history boys. i love that. you've got a _ the history boys. i love that. you've got a sense - the history boys. i love that. you've got a sense of - the history boys. i love that. you've got a sense of the i the history boys. i love that. i you've got a sense of the kind the history boys. i love that. - you've got a sense of the kind of team _ you've got a sense of the kind of team talk— you've got a sense of the kind of team talk gareth southgate might have with that young team of players _ have with that young team of players. all he tries to inspire,

just to give you a flavour of the joy thejoy on the joy on display. i'm sure this is the case in towns and cities up and down the country. as people mark the occasion. you wouldn't normally encourage people to stand on top of buses, but police taking a very, very light touch, trying to maintain the good while ensuring people get a safe journey home. front of the metro, worth the wait. that that —— that is the image that sums up this team. that that -- that is the image that sums up this team.— sums up this team. yeah, it is everything _ sums up this team. yeah, it is everything that's _

country and pointed it out. their coach has taken the players to the premier lip or the —— premiership. most of them are in the glamour every week, and he's taken them to love again the people of denmark and come away from the start and play as agents of our society. so, hats off to them. they took us all the way, and they did it without much talent to them. they hadn't had the powers we had. lovely put down in a very good and for you —— interview by one of the schmeichel brothers. i'm expected... or whether it was his son who plays in leicester city. —— one of the schmeichel �*s. he was

liberation day." it's not written in stone and it could be august or later. by the way, july 19 in england has always been subject to caveat. in the one thing nicola sturgeon has got to understand is that she is in danger of becoming a caricature of the south. she is in danger of people saying that's typical nicola sturgeon, not meaningful of the message. i typical nicola sturgeon, not meaningful of the message. i think diub is meaningful of the message. i think digby is being _ meaningful of the message. i think digby is being a — meaningful of the message. i think digby is being a little _ meaningful of the message. i think digby is being a little bit _ meaningful of the message. i think digby is being a little bit unfair i digby is being a little bit unfair because — digby is being a little bit unfair because if you look at the detail of the story. — because if you look at the detail of the story, nicola sturgeon admits that the _ the story, nicola sturgeon admits that the situation in scotland is serious — that the situation in scotland is serious. let's strip away the politics— serious. let's strip away the politics and look at the data. nearly — politics and look at the data. nearly 3800 or infections reported yesterday, and the country is in the -rip yesterday, and the country is in the grip of— yesterday, and the country is in the grip of what— yesterday, and the country is in the grip of what they call a third wave,

good evening, i'm marc edwards. as we just as wejust heard... what a night! england's men are into their first major tournament final since 1966. they really had to do it the hard way. england had to come from behind, conceding for the first time in the tournament when mikkel damsgaard powered in a free kick. england responded nine minutes later when bukayo saka's pull back was diverted into his own net by danish captain simon kjaer. and so — perhaps inevitably — the game went to extra time. before the match could go to penalties, england had one of their own when sterling was fouled. harry kane stepped up, but the england captain's spot kick was saved, only for the tottenham striker to turn in the rebound to the delight of the majority of the 65,000 fans in wembley.

it takes england's men through to their first ever european championship final. they'll meet italy on sunday at wembley. the end of an era — could wimbledon have said a final goodbye to eight—time champion roger federer? the 39—year—old has had to overcome injury problems recently and targeted playing in this tournament. but he lost in straight sets to the 14th seed, poland's hubert hurkacz, losing the third set 6—0. so, is this the last time we'll see him at wimbledon? i don't know, i really don't know. i've got to regroup. my goal was always for the last year and more, to always play another wimbledon.

the initial goal i was to play last year. that was never going to happen, plus the pandemic hit. i was able to make it this year, which i'm really happy about it, and like i said, with everything that comes after wimbledon, we were always going to sit down and talk about it because clearly, now wimbledon is over, we've got to take a few days. obviously, we will speak a little bit tonight depending on how i feel, and the next couple days as well. then we go from there and see ok, what do i need to do to get them in better shape so i can be more competitive? i'm actually very happy i made it as far as i did here, and i actually was able to play wimbledon at the level that i did. of course i would like to play it again, but at my age, you're never sure what's around the corner. meanwhile, world number one novak djokovic had no such dramas, breezing past first time quarter

finalist marton fucsovicsin straight sets 6—3, 6—4, 6—4. the defending champion remains on course for the calendar grand slam, having already won in australia and france. sometimes things do look surreal for me, but i try to live in the moment, i don't think anything for granted, be grateful for every opportunity on the court. obviously, going for history is a huge embracement for me, so let's keep it going. djokovic will face his sternest test yet in the last four. canada's denis shapovalov is into his first semifinal at a slam coming from two sets to one down to beat karen khachanov. and seventh seed matteo berrettini

completes the semifinal line—up. the italian will play hurkacz after beating the canadian 16th seed felix auger aliassime in four sets. eight british and irish lions are isolating after a player and member of the management team tested positive for covid—19 on their tour of south africa. on the field, it was business as usual as they geared up for the test series by beating the sharks. duhan van der merwe and josh adams ran in three tries each in the 54—7 win. adams now has seven in two games on the tour so far. so, great form from the whales swinger. the wales winger. and jack kenningham has withdrawn from the england squad after being contacted and advised to isolate by the nhs covid app. a staff member has also gone into isolation. england play canada at twickenham stadium on saturday. the ecb have confirmed that

all of the england squad and their staff have tested negative for covid—19, ahead of their odi series against pakistan which starts tomorrow. ben stokes will captain the make—shift team after the original squad were forced into isolation after a covid outbreak in the camp. the side could feature up to nine debutants. tadey pogacia has increased his lead at the tour de france to more than five minutes. the slovenian finished fourth on stage 11, which was won by belgium's wout van art. britain's mark cavendish in the green jersey finished before the cut off time keeping alive his hopes of equalling the record of 34 stage wins tomorrow. and that's all the sport for now. you can get more reaction from that incredible night at wembley — england through to the euro 2020 final. that's bbc.com/sport. bye— bye.

good evening. sunny spells and scattered, heavy showers was the order of the day on wednesday. some places avoided the showers altogether. now over the next two days, we keep the same theme — so some sunshine on offer, but also a few scattered, heavy showers. we won't all be seeing them. still 1—2 showers lingering through this evening and overnight to the midlands, parts of eastern england and eastern scotland — but they will be fading away, so most places becoming dry by first thing tomorrow morning with overnight lows of 10—14. a little bit of mistiness here and there and a little more cloud working in for scotland and northern ireland from the northwest. england and wales seeing more sunshine than we had today. fewer showers, but there will be some cropping up through the afternoon — and if you do catch one, it can be quite heavy and slow—moving, perhaps some thunderstorms mixed in, too. most places around 17—23 celsius. into friday, another day of sunshine and showers, but the showers fairly few and far between, mostly towards the east. in the sunny spells, top temperatures around about 16—23 celsius.

bye for now.
