it was italy's night. cheering. coming back from england's electric start and then winning it on penalties. cheering. european football's finest honour goes to rome. incredibile! translation: i'm so happy! we are euro champions! i'm going to celebrate all night! repeats: i'm going to celebrate all night! - after sky—high expectations for england, it was heartbreak. after 55 years without a trophy, the wait goes on. and ifeel sorry, in particular, you know, for everyone because, you know, it's a community thing, you know, and everyone was rooting for england. and in my lifetime, it's probably the closest that i've seen they've come to a championship like that. it was the perfect start for england — left back shaw hitting the back of the italian net afterjust two minutes —

the fastest goal in a european championship final. but italian pressure and possession was rewarded with a 67th—minute goalfrom bonucci. no more goals in normal and extra time, just an intruder on the pitch and some extremely intrusive italian tackles on display. penalties would provide both ecstasy and agony. following verratti and kane's goals, belotti denied for italy. england's rashford hit the post. donnarumma denied england's sancho before pickford saved jorginho�*s effort. it all came down to english teenager saka. one kick to keep the game alive for england, but not this time. a cruel ending for the 19—year—old and his team, an unbelievable one for italy. they're a team who have pulled together, have given the country some incredible evenings. but, of course, tonight, the devastation of getting so close and not being able to give our country the trophy

that we wanted to do is difficult to put into context. there is added misery for england's players who all take the knee before games to highlight the fight against racial inequality after racist abuse on social media aimed at the three players who missed penalties. condemning it, the football association has said: back on the pitch, a joyous italy is now unbeaten in sa matches. italy is now unbeaten in 34 matchm— italy is now unbeaten in 34 matches. �* ,, �* ~ italy is now unbeaten in 34 matches. �* ,, ~ ~ ., matches. translation: we are ha - - for matches. translation: we are happy for our— matches. translation: we are happy for our people, _ matches. translation: we are happy for our people, for - happy for our people, for italians who deserve this after such a difficult period. and this is ourjoy, and the fact that we played really well.

england, on the other hand, must now pick themselves up with less than 500 days until the world cup. mark lobel, bbc news. it was a long night of celebration in italy as the country absorbed its win. our correspondent lucy williamson spent the evening with fans in piazza del popolo in rome. it took one missed penalty, one fateful second. to set the country alight. a new generation of italians discovering what it's like to win the european cup. this is what 11 men on a foreign football field can do to a nation. inaudible. hope and faith transformed into an all—black nationaljoy. it all looked very different to begin with. an early goal from

lizzie williamson, bbc news, rome. — lucy williamson, bbc news, rome. no such celebration for england fans. our correspondent simonjones is in trafalgar square in central london. what was the atmosphere like there after the game, simon, it went along into the night? pretty gloomy atmosphere, very much like the weather here this morning. and if you want a sense of this feast of all these finally over then take a look behind me. that's the fan zone at trafalgar square already being dismantled, be clean up operation as well here this morning with thousands of people flocking to central london, despite the authorities asking people to stay away if they did not have tickets. people wanted to be a part of the atmosphere but i'm afraid yesterday evening, for the english fans, the atmosphere, well, it felt very, very flat. we have seen still this morning at five am here in the uk people wandering around, some fans still rather bewildered.

during the night, there were a lot of italian fans out in force. at times it felt more like rome than central london. had italian fans at piccadilly circus, they were waving flags, letting off flares. good atmosphere with the english fans though, i think there was a mutual respect between both sides. speaking to the italian fans, they say england played really well. speaking to the england fans, they say well, italy probably deserved it in terms of the overall game. obviously the england fans devastated to lose on penalties. the 55 year wait for success in a major tournament goes on. success in a ma'or tournament noes on. ., , goes on. indeed it does. in terms of — goes on. indeed it does. in terms of the _ goes on. indeed it does. in terms of the public - goes on. indeed it does. in terms of the public order i terms of the public order situation, was there any trouble overnight from police? —— reported from police? lats -- reported from police? lots of police _ -- reported from police? lots of police on — -- reported from police? lots of police on the _ -- reported from police? lots of police on the streets - —— reported from police? lots of police on the streets here in central london and i think they were taking a largely hands off approach. we've been told by the metropolitan police that so far they made a total

of 49 arrest, policing the game yesterday. 19 officers were injured, which they say is especially shocking. because when they were confronting volatile crowd, they had objects thrown at them. also in terms of the metropolitan police, they are now investigating racist abuse that was posted online against the three england players who missed penalties. that is also been condemned by the football association, who say that anyone who post up something like this is not a true fan and they have no right to be following england. so a couple of incidents marring the game but overall, i think the police will be pleased with the way the events went yesterday, especially after england lost, because thousands of people flocking onto the streets, this was an official fan zone but there were not many fan zones at all because of coronavirus restrictions so the police said the streets were full of both

england and italian fans but largely things went off brother peacefully. largely things went off brother peacefully-— largely things went off brother peacefully. thank you, simon, and the weather _ peacefully. thank you, simon, and the weather reflecting - peacefully. thank you, simon, and the weather reflecting the | and the weather reflecting the mood of the nation. you indeed. to cuba now, where thousands of people have joined protests across the country, taking a stand against cuba's communist government. the president argues the united states is to blame, calling supporters to confront those demonstrating. tanya dendrinos reports. chanting for freedom. not quite often in havana. cubans took to the street in with the opposition has called the biggest anti—government protests in almost three decades. translation: state security beat _ decades. translation: state security beat me _ decades. translation: state security beat me and - decades. translation: state security beat me and my - security beat me and my daughter. they beat us because we were walking down the street. ., ., . ~ we were walking down the street. ., ., ., street. inflation back we are here because _ street. inflation back we are here because of _ street. inflation back we are here because of the - street. inflation back we are i here because of the repression against — here because of the repression against the people. they are starving _ against the people. they are starving us to death. the dollar— starving us to death. the

parts of the us are braced for more record—breaking temperatures, having already endured the hottest june on record. forecasters are warning that some places, including california and nevada, will remain dangerously hot, fuelling fears of even more wildfires. our north america correspondent peter bowes has this report. wildfires are burning with a ferocity that has rarely been seen before. in oregon, firefighters on the frontline of this inferno to be pulled back for their own safety. after almost a week, it's spread to almost 600 square kilometres. in arizona, two firefighters died when their aircraft crashed while responding to another blaze. dozens are burning in california, including this enormous fire, spreading rapidly close to the border with nevada. the beckwourth complex fire, the state's biggest, was started by lightning. a vast area of forest has been

closed and people have been evacuated from their homes. in the california desert, they're used to extreme heat, but nothing like this. this isjoshua tree national park — a tourist destination close to the resort of palm springs, where temperatures reached a record for the time of year — 48.9 degrees celsius. it's the hottest place on earth. like, this is hot. it's never been hotter. it feels like we're in an oven, yeah. i came from the caribbean, i came from dominican republic, from a very hot country, and it's still hot for me so i'm trying my best. officials have warned tourists and residents here that these baking temperatures can be lethal. honestly, it can be feel even hotter because there is no shade and that sun is just beating down on visitors, so do come either very early for a sunrise hike or stay late and stargaze and be out here when there is no sun. las vegas has also matched its all—time high temperature —

the entertainment city reached 47.2 celsius. the authorities said several people were taken to hospital over the weekend with heat—related conditions. scientists say there is growing evidence that climate change is fuelling extreme weather patterns, and they are likely to become more common. last month was the hottestjune on record in north america. the high temperatures of the past few days are expected to ease off by the middle of the week, but the heatwaves this summer have been relentless and the months that are usually the hottest are still to come. peter bowes, bbc news, washington. sir richard branson hasjust returned from the edge of space during virgin galactic�*s first fully—crewed flight. takeoff from new mexico was slightly delayed by bad weather but the flight is being seen as a milestone for the commercial space industry. from spaceport america in new mexico, here's sophie long.

and touchdown. safely back on earth after a 90—minute flight. critics call this a billionaire' joy ride, harmful to the planet sir richard says he wants to protect. but for people here at the first purpose—built commercial spaceport on the planet, this passenger flight marks an historic moment in the long and continuing journey towards space tourism becoming a reality. sophie long, bbc news, spaceport america, new mexico. wimbledon has come to an end, with novak djokovic once again stealing the show as he beat the italian matteo berrettini in the men's final. that makes it six wimbledon championships, and another chunk of history for the serb, as the bbc�*s chetan pathak explains. this has been a wimbledon like no other, played in a pandemic but in the end, on the final sunday, the result was one many were predicting. novak djokovic is wimbledon champion again, a 6th title here for him, but the number

that matters most will be 20 — he is now level on the number of grand slams that roger federer and rafa nadal have won. extraordinary to think when djokovic won his first slam at the australian open in 2008 — federer was already on 12, nadal on four. he has been playing catch up his whole career and now he has done it. matteo berrettini was standing in his way. and in today's final the italian 7th seed has lit up this tournament — 11 wins in a row on the grass, if you include his fantastic run at queens. he has won so many admirers and on centre court, the crowd was fully behind him, the underdog. he brought his best tennis for some of that first set. down a break, 5—2 and facing set point, he thought back a win that 7—6. but djokovic like he has done so many times before, came back, returning at a top level, hunting every ball down and putting pressure on berrettini when he could. in the end he reeled off the subsequent sets,

6—4, 6—4, 6—3, to stand with the trophy that means so much to him. so what next for djokovic? he has made no secret of chasing history and numbers. the tokyo olympics are on the horizon and then us open. if he were to win those two, he would have won all four grand slams and olympic gold, in the same calender year — no man has done that in the history of tennis. only steffi graf in 1988 can point to that achievement, and you would not put it past djokovic, on the form he's shown in these finals and at these championships. let's take you back to the news that italy have been crowned champions of europe, winning euro 2020 on penalties. our special correspondent, ed thomas, spent the day in the north of england — on second avenue in oldham — where the whole community came together to celebrate — and commiserate. a moment to come together.

a day to hope and believe. england to win. are you nervous? yes, very nervous. football's coming home! very nervous, about what? come here. i can't. come here. don't show my bottom half! what do you see in this team? different backgrounds, different cultures, all coming together — and it's brilliant. 3—2 to england. what's going on here? i'm gettin' me england face ready. a nation together — from the granddad who remembers �*66. did you ever think you would see this again in your lifetime? i honestly didn't. i've watched them over the years and it's never happened. what does this moment mean to you? can't explain it, just can't explain it. love it. absolutely love it. kick—off, and it didn't take long. i think they're doing brilliant. and you got your face painted as well now.

finished the face painting, ready for it to come home. singing. half—time, and they're starting to believe. ecstatic, it feels like you've won it with the atmosphere, but it's going to be a long 45 minutes now. but then came despair... ..tension. .. ..and extra time. getting a bit nervous now. i don't want it to go back to penalties again. but it did. and football... ..can be the cruellest of sports. are they going to win the world cup? we're going to win the world cup. it's not just about - football coming home. it is how we embrace each other, yeah? i we have another ten years with that team. ed thomas, bbc news, oldham. you can reach me on twitter.

this is bbc news. thank you for watching. the business headlines are coming up. well, it's a mixed bag out there at the moment with some rain around. and we've showers in the forecast for monday too. some of the showers could be particularly heavy across southeastern areas of the country. and here, we could have some thunderstorms as well. so this is what it looks like early hours of the morning. you can see where the heavy rain is, particularly in the south and the southeast. dry weather across most of scotland and most of northern ireland. and really quite mild in the morning — around 16 degrees, for example, in liverpool. so on that heavy rain, then, in the south, it'll come and go through the course of the morning. in fact, there might even be some sunshine around for a time. but then through the afternoon, showers will brew across parts of scotland, the north of england, but the heaviest ones probably in the southeast here. and these are the ones that could turn thundery and linger

through the afternoon, into the evening hours. best sunshine on monday, i think some of these western areas of the uk — certainly western parts of wales, maybe cornwall and devon too. now, low pressure is still fairly close by on tuesday. you can see it's actually centred around, well, the western half of europe in the alps, but it's just about influencing the weather around the near continent, so there could be one or two showers around in the southeast. the best of the sunshine, i think across western and northern areas on tuesday. in fact, from plymouth through cardiff, liverpool, belfast, glasgow, should be a relatively sunny day, and the temperatures are starting to recover as well. in fact, by the time we get to wednesday, it should be a dry day across the uk. high pressure is slowly building from the azores. there could be a weak weather frontjust about nudging into the western isles, giving a few spots of rain. but on the whole, it's a fine day for most of us. and then from thursday onwards, we are expecting that high pressure to build right across the country. the winds will fall light.

and given some sunshine, we'll see those temperatures recovering. in fact, we're expecting the mid—20s quite widely across the uk, but it really does depend where the winds going to be blowing from. for example, if it's coming in from the north, the north sea coasts could be a little bit chilly, but further inland, certainly around 25 or so. so here's the outlook, with monday and those showers there, maybe even one or two thunderstorms in the southeast, and then a steady climb in the temperatures as we head towards the weekend. that's it from me. bye— bye.
