this rain marches its way higher. this rain marches its way eastwards towards wembley later on this evening. there is more rain to come as we head into the start of next week because low pressure still in charge. that is sitting over the uk. we are looking at more rain more widely, i think. uk. we are looking at more rain more widely, ithink. it uk. we are looking at more rain more widely, i think. it could lead to localised flooding. downpours developing in scotland. it looks at this stage that northern ireland may see some of the driest weather. that low pressure bringing the downpour pushes away and it starts to dry. this is where all the heavy downpours are. not far away from the south—east of england. a few showers around on tuesday but fewer and
10:31 pm
lighter so temperatures will start to creep up just a better bet that drying out process continues as we head into wednesday. high pressure coming across the uk and more in the way of sunshine. dry weather as well. still not that warm across east anglia and the south—east and a week where the will be being ploughed into the north—west of the uk. the man—eaters are dry day with some sunshine. that week where the front is running around. as we get into thursday tracks down into the high pressure and brings cloud. maybe one or two spots of rain but essentially it is dry. more sunshine following to scotland and northern ireland. some computer models bring
10:32 pm
high pressure in and then pull it away fairly quickly and we expect high pressure to hang a little longer and with high pressure band it means we've got much—needed dry weather and it looks like it will be dry. a bit there rather than hot because the breeders coming around. the mediterranean are across the eastern side for hot weather.

hello, this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment. first, the headlines. england's footballers are settling in at their hotel near london, ahead of tomorrow's match against italy in the final of euro 2020. ahead of the historic match, their manager gareth southgate says his team want to bring the trophy home. it always comes back to tomorrow, we're in a final and we're here... we're here to win. the build—up reaches fever pitch — millions of fans around the country preparing to watch the game tomorrow night at eight o'clock. and at wimbledon, world number one ashleigh barty has won her first ladies singles title —
10:35 pm
she beat the eighth seed karolina pliskova in three sets. fully vaccinated nhs staff could be let off having to self—isolate after contact with someone with covid, to try to tackle staff shortages. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are former welsh labour adviser and broadcasterjo kiernan, and columnist for the article, ali miraj. tomorrow's front pages. let's take a look through some of tomorrow's front pages already in, starting with the observer.
10:36 pm
it leads with what it describes as growing public alarm ahead of borisjohnson�*s plans to ease coronavirus restrictions in england on 19th july. the paper also pictures gareth southgate who's urging his england team to stay calm amongst the hype ahead of the euros final. the express focuses on the heartfelt message from the queen as she sends her good wishes to the team. that message is echoed on the front of the telegraph as her majesty writes to gareth southgate, praising his squad for their spirit, commitment and pride. the sunday people describes the three lions as the "pride of england" as they gear up
10:37 pm
for tomorrow's match at wembley. there is some uncertainty over the health of one of the players over a foot injury. if they win, it'll be england's first major tournament victory since the world cup triumph over west germany in 1966. and "we kane be heroes" — the mirror pictures england captain harry kane — he fired in a dramatic extra time goal for the team to get them to tomorrow's final, and in the processjoined gary lineker to become joint top goal scorerfor england. so let's begin. joe, do you want to kick us off at the front page on the sunday people, a very striking image of the england team. i suppose it sums it up that this is not a team without stars and
10:38 pm
individuals but about the collective be more than the sum of its parts. it is interesting, i was reflecting earlier, firstly getting a welsh person on to be talking about the england match! but that aside, this team seems so together, so sensible, and given the sort of, you know, the histrionics, the sum of the high we have seen in past tournaments from past teams, there is so much to admire in this young team. the way they look, the way they conduct themselves, some of the stories of themselves, some of the stories of the adversity that they have faced growing up in pursuing their dreams, their political nous, they're refusing to give into bullying or taking the knee, for example. they seem extraordinarily grounded and buried together, and you just know they want this so badly. you

10:43 pm
1966, handing out the winners medals to the team. and she says, i was there, i know what it meant to that team and all their supporters. i mean, in some ways, you can say history is a bit of a new sense because itjust keeps... it is the kind of default line, the first biggest win since 1966 and actually they are about now, not then. but there is something about that connection with the past that seems to resonate, or is itjust a journalistic obsession? i to resonate, or is itjust a journalistic obsession? i think the ictures of journalistic obsession? i think the pictures of the — journalistic obsession? i think the pictures of the queen _ journalistic obsession? i think the pictures of the queen handing - journalistic obsession? i think the l pictures of the queen handing over the trophy, and as you say, it really resonated in the letter that was sent today, were just lovely. i'm a 1996 -- was sent today, were just lovely. i'm a 1996 "1966 was sent today, were just lovely. i'm a 1996 —— 1966 baby so i was never allowed to forget that i was there last year they won the cup. it is putting it to bed now, isn't it? as i say, this team are incredibly hungry, they've got some really, really stiff competition but home

10:48 pm
like north wales, where big numbers of people will be coming on holiday during the summer in this year at the staycation, and hospital resources, as they are in a place like cornwall, for example, which has just truro as a general hospital and the nearest hospital is plymouth, parts of wales, particularly coastal wales committee is quite hard to find enough hospital beds normally, but if you add in hospitalisations because of a viral infection, they must be some degree of concern about that. there inevitably is — degree of concern about that. there inevitably is and _ degree of concern about that. there inevitably is and i _ degree of concern about that. there inevitably is and i have _ degree of concern about that. there inevitably is and i have to _ degree of concern about that. there inevitably is and i have to say - inevitably is and i have to say forest back plans for the 19th art england only. we are expecting an announcement next week here in wales about possibly moving to level one quite quickly, and further details perhaps on all restrictions being lifted but a much more cautious approach here. and i parley is because we have large rural areas
10:49 pm
that get very, very busy in the summer with two arrests, where it is a considerable distance to the local hospital and beds are limited. we are told that we are several weeks behind england, in terms of the rising rates there. but even so, we have had two lh bees, local health boards in wales say that they are only now starting to see significant numbers of people coming in with covid and it is putting a burden and strain on the hospitals because obviously they are trying to get through the waiting lists on other disciplines, which had been held back through the pandemic. and so you can see that there is anxiety, and understandable anxiety, but equally as ali said, on the removal of mask wearing and social distancing. it is a really complicated situation, undoubtedly
10:50 pm
there are risks involved in all of these decisions. but to take away mask wearing, social distancing, doesn't seem right, doesn't sit right with people. and i think it is going to put an unfair burden on the most vulnerable in our society. 0bviously, most vulnerable in our society. obviously, the measures are related to england, the announcement that borisjohnson will make, but obviously, travel throughout the uk is a lot easier than it was. and different decisions will be made by nicola sturgeon, i think she's talking about august for hers, we will find out more about what is happening, and indeed in northern ireland, in the coming weeks, ten days. jo, on the same topic on the sunday telegraph, there is an interview with sajid javid where he is talking about waiting list topping 30 million in the months ahead. never mind who is to blame or any of that, if anyone is to blame, the consequences for the nhs at this
10:51 pm
infection, what it has done over the last 15 months, are likely to be with us for years to come. i think that i am remembering - with us for years to come. i think that i am remembering this - with us for years to come. i think that i am remembering this rightj with us for years to come. i think- that i am remembering this right but i think i remember hearing the first minister of wales are saying they expected it to be a full six years before we made our way through the backlog. and just going back to the previous story, with all the risks and uncertainty about freedom day, so—called freedom day, in any of the home nations, because it has to come at some point, it isjust home nations, because it has to come at some point, it is just whether in nine days' time is the right time. there is a risk of our nhs getting overwhelmed again, regardless of the stories we have heard this weekend about nhs staff not having to isolate if they come into contact with someone who has covid if they are double jab, as they all should be by now. there are lots of ifs and
10:52 pm
buts here and ifear that be by now. there are lots of ifs and buts here and i fear that is going to be a really difficult autumn and winterfor to be a really difficult autumn and winter for our to be a really difficult autumn and winterfor our nhs staff. to be a really difficult autumn and winter for our nhs staff. they have been through so much over the last 15 or 16 months, it hardly beggars belief that they might have to go through that again. i think people waiting for routine outpatient appointments, routine surgery, may have very, very long wait ahead of them. . . have very, very long wait ahead of them. , , �*, , them. this is sa'id javid's first interview he — them. this is sajid javid's first interview he has _ them. this is sajid javid's first interview he has done - them. this is sajid javid's first interview he has done since i them. this is sajid javid's first - interview he has done since becoming health secretary a fortnight ago today, what do you make of it? he has got a humongous entry. jo has already— has got a humongous entry. jo has already talked about the backlog, 5.3 million people who have not had operations. — 5.3 million people who have not had operations, cancelled treatments, heart _ operations, cancelled treatments, heart surgery etc that was needed, urgent _ heart surgery etc that was needed, urgent operations that there is a backlog. — urgent operations that there is a backlog, and sajid javid said that was partly down to their sense of britishness is not wanted to bother nhs staff— britishness is not wanted to bother nhs staff and they had other things to deal— nhs staff and they had other things to deal with, and that is —— could
