break them for minute the tree as well. i said this guy's waiting for the storm to die down was no longer an option. hancock conceded on saturday. i understand the enormous sacrifices that everybody in this country has made that you have made. and those of us who make these rules have got to stick by them. and that's why i've got to resign. hancock's replacement such a job, it is no, not for his health care background. but for his stint as the case finance minister under boris johnson. until he resigned in february of 2020. during hancock's tenure, britain endured one of the world's highest official death tolls from the pandemic, but also saw a strong becks, a nation roll out. that last may now be overshadowed simply by a feeling of betrayal. some other stories now making headlines around the world.

it was the worse to day turn german soldiers taking part in the un peacekeeping mission. it's likely to have political consequences, not least for the 3 main candidates vying to lee germany after september, the election, social democrat, all actual, it's things and needs a decision to withdraw. troops from the west african country would be a mistake. thus, company can't be that the moment you realize an operation is dangerous. you just say we had no idea it would be this bad. we should be clear about this from the very beginning, that this is an extremely dangerous operation, even if it isn't on a large scale. and who could really shine with me to goals as germany carries out several military operations in molly, including training. but how actively should german forces be involved in the fight against islamist terrorists? conservative candidate army, unless it says that should depend on the precise context. when does

a un mandate said germany to contribute to training, then that's fine. doesn't always have to involve combat. in other places it could be that one decides straight away from combat will be involved in the use of arms drains in combat. situation is a contentious issue. the conservatives are in favor. the social democrats undecided . the green have opposed it, but now say it might be necessary at times. the most money here will go higher closely. the question of whether to deploy drones, that's our position. it depends on the situation. for example, if soldiers on the ground otherwise with being entrapped off in the fire, the german soldiers injured him, molly and now all in hospital in cobblins, the defense ministry says they are all in a stable condition. transitioning the sport now in the year or 2020 italy or through to the quarter finals, but they needed extra time to get there after scare against austria,

a hard fought 90 minutes ended goal this before at least for twice an extra time through federico kids the and the tale sina software lady managed one for austria, but they couldn't find a 2nd and fell in a to one defeat. in the earlier match, denmark became the 1st team to make it through to the quarter finals. after beating wales in the round of 16 striker cast for goldberg scored in both halves to set up the victory before the danes added to more late in the game. this year afore nil when they'll now face the netherlands, or the czech republic in the last 8. for more on the euro, 2020 action. i'm joined now by max merrill from d. w. sports match italy had looked in supreme form until that last game. what exactly happened? well, yeah, after denmark cruise to victory, if we made it really difficult for themselves, and i think maybe part of that is because in the last group came, they made a changes that already qualified for the next round. maybe rest some legs. but that

can upset the rhythm, especially in a tournament like this. germany had that happened to them when they were knocked out by its lead, having rested, plays in the previous game in the previous 202012 rather. and you know, it's a big chances but couldn't convert an austria school the 1st go which was disallowed. but then they showed patients and com showed they can play so called tournament football. and the 2 goals coming from 2 substitutes also shows they have that quality in depth in the squad. so you know, they also conceded the 1st golden very late on. so they had a little bit fallible and they have to be better next round because they're going to face either belgium or portugal. that will be a test. speaking of belgium, let's look ahead to the game today. we've got story started, belgium against the rating champions, portugal, how do you like belgium chances? well, you have to argue that they probably have one of the best scores in the tournament and they have looked good so far, 3 consecutive wins. the striker amended khaki was in great form kevin bryan, who didn't start in the 1st 2 games due to

a face injuries now back and expected to start. and he's really the key man for them. but i don't think they're as good as they were in 2018 when they became 3rd at the world cup, especially defensively, little bit aging. but let's hear from the defensive lives. been young baton going. if you see, if you see a portugal shirt on the street, it's 99 percent. it's a, it's a rinaldo shirt. so he's, he's the biggest player in the history of, of portugal. it's not belgium against the all those belgium against portugal and they have a lot of a lot of good players, a lot of of quality players and we do as well. so we will be ready. portugal would like to think that there are more than just about nano but face it when most people think about the portuguese team. they think rinaldo? yes, they do. and i mean on paper, they're not a one man team anymore. they, they boss to improve their squad since 2016 when they want it. so they were kind of my favorites going into the tournament. but so far i haven't looked cohesive. they've dropped bruno and under she had such a great season in the premier league playing for manchester, united little bit,

most steady in the last match. i wonder what the coach would be up to in this game . so hard to predict, just like netherlands check republic as well, coming up today that is max merrill d w. sports. thank you so much. i'll be watching tonight along with you another sports item for you. any 2 big ones, you're in a williams as you're now and she will not be taking part in tokyo olympics saying there were several reasons for her decision. serena has one for olympic gold medals with the 1st coming all the way back to 2000 games and sydney. she won 3 of those metals alongside her sister, venus, and the doubles several other stores have also said they will not travel to charge you, including raphael, don, europe's most active volcano, italy's mount aetna has erupt again. the mountain south eastern crater flared up spewing lava and ash into the year for several hours on saturday that ash rain gown on nearby towns on the island of sicily. no one was injured. the volcano is some

500000 years old. scientists think it's so active because of its mixture of volcanic gases. you're watching d. w. news up next is force flies. and we're going to meet athletes on the rocky will to the tokyo olympics. i'm michael oak, who in berlin there's more news, 45 minutes. so many portions of labs occurred out in the world right now the climate change. if any, off the story, this is much less the way from just one week how much less can we get we still have time to.
