as the minister says, we are all disgusted and condemn the appalling racist abuse of bukayo saka, jadont people are also furious, and they are demanding action now from the government. so how is the government is going to force social media companies to act now? promises have been made before, and yet, we are still waiting. the government's said its upcoming online harms bill would tackle the issue, with big sanctions facing social media companies that didn't comply. there are fines of up- to 10% of global turnover, blocking of sites, and indeed, potentially criminal sanctionsl for the leadership. of those businesses. other peers called for more measures against abusive fans. as chairman of the fa, i sought legislation which would enable us to ban for life, one strike and they're out, to ban for life anybody convicted of any of these crimes from every football ground in the united kingdom — no excuses, no second chances. would the government support that? the government is well aware that football banning orders l can have a great effect on those implicated, . and it's one of the things

kieran trippier starts for england, with arsenal's bukayo saka dropped to the bench.he fast footed foden doesn't make the squad due to an injury. but italy are looking to upset the home advantage and on a 33—match unbeaten run — many wouldn't bet against them. in other news, the uk's vaccines minister says the government is confident that plans to lift a range of covid restrictions will go ahead onjuly 19th in england. but he also said masks are still expected to be worn indoors. the fortification of the vaccination programme has allowed us to cautiously move to step four, and the pm will say more about this. a sixth wimbedon title... and at wimbledon, it's game, set and match for novak djokovic, as he beats matteo berrettini 3—1 to take his sixth grass court title. lift—off for branson — the billionaire virgin galactic founder has flown to the edge of space on the company's first ever passenger flight before gliding back to earth safely. hello and welcome to audiences in the uk and around the world. the whistle has been blown, and the final of the european football c

bukayo saka is the man in possession at the moment, the teenager, barely a man at all, but he has reallyg for a start up top there with harry kane and raheem sterling. and jack grealish a huge push from the public to see him more involved. that is all from gareth southgate over the next 2a hours or so, but his players have done what they had to in this final training session to try and get a place into the starting 11. gareth southgate has told us from the very start that that is the difficult part of hisjob, leaving out some magnificent players in this squad. perhaps this is the difference with previous england generations. the depth that he has at his disposal. yes, it is becoming more settled over the last couple of weeks, but he still has sleepless nights about who he should leave out. but phil foden will be a doubt after sitting out training today. 0lly foster reporting there. ministers are considering lifting the need for fully vaccinated nhs staff in england to self—isolate if they've been in close contact with someone who's tested positive for the coronavirus. hospital trusts hav

the only injury was bukayo saka, man of the match awards, any other tournament would mean a panic with this occasion with so many players gareth southgate has to choose from to bring in a replacement. we will get team news and our arsenal before kick—off. this is the moment gareth southgate has been building towards, england qualified in the last world cup but this tournament was about proving to himself, the squad and the england fans that england could regularly compete in the biggest stage for the biggest prizes and the arrow on the cusp of doing that if they can go on and beat ukraine and reach the semifinal which will be staged at wembley next week. it is a big ask, he will not want to underestimate ukraine, it will be typical of an england side in the past beating a nation like germany and failing to get across the line with a team like ukraine but i am sure he will not want to sell them short. gareth southgate has prepared as best as he can, he knows that and his players know that, they have prepared as well as they can. if they beat ukraine they will return to wembley and see w

he has made a big call because bukayo saka, the youngster who has done so well, has been dropped andhat will be seen as a little cautious by some and defensive but everything southgate has tried in these euros has come off, all of his selections have been vindicated and the fans fully trust him. also a sign of the respect he has for an italian side that are unbeaten in 33 games and who unlike england, have big match pedigree in momentous occasions such as this at major tournaments. those scenes outside, i doubt wembley has everything quite like that, not an english sport, but it gives a sense of how much this has been needed in a covid weary nation and after so many years of hurt for the english football team. whatever happens, southgate has taken a big leap forward with the side but if england win and deliver, it will draw a line under one of sport's most enduring narratives, why is it that england cannot succeed at major tournaments? thank you very much. well, the italian team come here with a run of victories behind them in this tournament and in the last three years. they know en

england responded nine minutes later when bukayo saka's pull back was diverted into his own net by danishight 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 f

the arsenalforward bukayo saka drops out and kieran trippier comes in to play in that wingback systemn mount keeping his place, supporting harry kane in attack and raheem sterling with him. the other big noticeable talking point will be the absence of phil foden. we knew he was carrying a foot problem in the lead up to this. gareth southgate saying yesterday he would see whether or not he would be available in time, whether he would shakeit available in time, whether he would shake it off in time and clearly he hasn't. that will be of some concern when you consider the control that phil foden was able to offer england when he came on in the last match against denmark. when england were trying to see at that match to book their place in this final. italy, though, they are unchanged. leonardo spinazzola, the breathtaking defender who impressed so much, he missed out in the semifinal. that injury meaning he remains unavailable. italy are unchanged. you will look at that italian midfield, won't you? marco verratti, the chelsea playmaker georgina alongside niccolo perella. naturally gifted

there is only one injury concern for england, that is bukayo saka, he started against germany and reallyinal group game against the czech republic. as an injury doubt with an ankle problem. perhaps we could expect to someone like jadon sancho or phil foden, as we know who impressed after starting the opening two group games for england. i think it will probably stick with the main spine of the team which got england to this are. i think perhaps a change in formation, we knew they had wing—backs against germany to match up their opponents to get them over the line in the crucial victory at wembley last time out. perhaps he will revert to a a43 formation at wembley last time out. perhaps he will revert to a 443 formation which he has used already in this tournament. i think perhaps foden may come in but largely the team will stay the same. but if the heat and conditions and humility become a factor later on, let's not forget that gareth southgate has the luxury of being able to pick from a very strong bench, so he can bring on some of those attacking players and suchis some of those attack

no injuries — bukayo saka had a slight knock that saw him miss that quarterfinal, but he was back trainingthree years ago, when they reached the semifinals at the world cup in russia. so, jordan pickford, john stones, harry maguire, harry kane, raheem sterling, a few others, and their experience is going to be so key over the coming days leading in to the wembley semifinal. denmark, of course, their progress has been lauded, as well, theirs one of the stories of this european championship, but their progress to the last four is as unexpected as when they actually won this tournament back in 1992. they did beat england quite recently, in the nations league last autumn, but england will be huge favourites going into this game, notjust because of the way that they've been playing, hitting their stride atjust the right time, but wembley will be a huge factor. this tournament is now a home tournament for england, and there will be 60,000 there, the best part of them roaring england on, and gareth southgate says that his players will feed off that. olly foster reporting there. just over 9,000 pe
