10:52 pm
hit out at the racist abuse suffered by some of the england players after last night's defeat to italy, in the european championship final. southgate was speaking to the media this morning — after his side lost on penalties — three black players — marcus rashford, jadon sancho, and bukayo saka were targeted online over missing penalties. he said the players should hold their heads high — and the abuse cannot be tolerated. for some of them to be abused is unforgivable, really. i know a lot of that has come from abroad, people that track those things have been able to explain that. but not all of it. it is just not what we stand for, we, i think, have been a beacon of light in bringing people together and people being able to relate to the national team, and the national teams stands for everybody. one of those who missed a penalty, marcus rashford, has taken to social media tonight to say he's "sorry" and that
10:53 pm
something "didn't feel quite right" as he stepped up to take the penalty. he says it's been playing in his head over and over since he struck the ball. but he said despite the miss, he will never apologise for who he is and where he came from. the fa will conduct a full review after a large number of people tried to force their way in to wembley without tickets ahead of the final. fans fought with stewards and police as they attempted to break through gates and downing street has criticised those who stormed the stadium without tickets. fa chief executive mark bullingham apologised to legitimate fans who were affected and said the security team had "never seen anything like it". it was sad and frustrating to see some of them trying to break into the stadium, unfortunately one or two succeeded, we do not know how many, we're still putting together all the evidence to find out what has happened. we will take action against people involved. when we step back and look at the matches we stage at wembley
10:54 pm
and the positive impact throughout the country, the bliss that has been created, we have had so much praise. i'm sure that sets us up well for future tournaments. the england manager and players left their hotel earlier today — at the end of a memorable european championship campaign. gareth southgate also says that he hopes to guide the team to the 2022 world cup in qatar but admits he needs time to rest before considering contract talks. there will be new county cricket champions this season. holders essex have been forced to abandon their current match because one of the opposition — derbyshire — tested positive for covid. other squad members have been identified as close contacts and the players are now self—isolating. essex needed a victory in the match in derby to keep alive their hopes of finishing in the top two in their group and progressing in the competition. they had got themselves into a strong position after the first day, only for the positive case to force the abandonment before day two.

british and irish lions head coach warren gatland has rejected calls from the springboks to play the south africa a team twice in a row. connor murray will captain the team against the a side on wednesday which shows 12 changes to the one that beat the sharks last time out as the tour continues to be hit by covid issues. the first test is due to be played in cape town on the 24thjuly. the former 0pen winner — zachjohnson — is the latest player to pull out of this week's championship, after testing positive for covid—19. johnson won the event in 2015 and follows south african louis de jager and masters champion hideki matsuyama in withdrawing because of a positive test. bubba watson is also missing out after a close contact tested positive. the open begins this thursday at royal st george's in kent. if you had told us this time last year that we would still be sitting here socially distanced, wearing masks and doing all of that
10:56 pm
stuff with not 100% capacity and living in a bubble, you would have kind of laughed at someone. but you just have to mind yourself. i'm not saying zach did not mind himself, because he probably did and he probably got it somewhere stupid, but that's the nature of the world we live in at the minute. meanwhile the rest of the world's top golfers have arrived in kent ahead of the major championship which starts on thursday. it was a blustery day on the course for phil mickelson the current us pga champion who teamed up with bryson dechambeau and in front of plenty of fans ahead of the opening round. we we re we were postponed last year which was a _ we were postponed last year which was a great disappointment, but we fully understand. we have all suffered _ fully understand. we have all suffered in different ways. and we had 170 _ suffered in different ways. and we had 170 days of no golf last year. but the _ had 170 days of no golf last year. but the set up that they produced this year— but the set up that they produced this year has been fantastic. and i this year has been fantastic. and i think— this year has been fantastic. and i think the — this year has been fantastic. and i think the spectators that will come
10:57 pm
on the _ think the spectators that will come on the championship days willjust think— on the championship days willjust think it _ on the championship days willjust think it is — on the championship days willjust think it is sensational. four wins in this year's tour de france have seen mark cavendish equal eddy merckx's long standing record of 34. today is a rest day, but the next few stages sees multiple climbs in the pyrenees. cavendish has struggled in recent mountain stages, butjust about made the time cuts. however, he already feels that the hardest work is behind him. he was speaking alongside his teammatejulian alaphillippe. every opportunity there is for a sprint i would like to win and every opportunity there is for a stage, i would like to do what i can. that's why we are here to commit to proper form. there no sentiment i think, it's just about wanting to win in the situations. this is still probably the hardest tournament i've ever done and out looking forward to the next three days but hopefully we should be ok. and that's all the sport for now.
10:58 pm
hello there. we had some really heavy downpours across parts of the country on monday. notably across north yorkshire and also in west london where kew picked up 46 mm of rain, almost smack a bang on a month's worth of rain. and the majority of that fell in just two hours. now, the day's showers continue to gradually fade away over the next few hours, so increasingly the weather should become dry with just an odd patch of rain left over across eastern areas. these are the temperatures as we start the day on tuesday. so it's good to be quite a mild morning. now, through tuesday most of us will see some fairly long spells of sunshine developing with the early morning cloud sending and breaking. but there will be a few showers around. we will get a line of showers forming probably somewhere around cheshire, greater manchester, running into the west midlands and perhaps another one down towards parts of wales and the doors area as well. away from these shower bands, though, there will be a lot of dry

this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. cuba sees the biggest demonstrations against the communist government in decades. president biden says the protests are a �*clarion call for freedom'. in south africa, shops have been looted and buildings set on fire in the fourth day of unrest. the violence comes after former presidentjacob zuma turned himself in, accused of contempt of court. wildfires are raging across the western us, as the latest heatwave dries out forests, and millions struggle with soaring temperatures. the best way to describe it, which is actually the way my friend described it, is that moment when you open the oven and that gust of heat hits you in the face. and to the victors go the spoils.
