you can see that one from declan rice. the real madrid midfielder who just declan rice.whojust won declan rice. the real madrid midfielder who just won the champions league, incredible individual story, champions league, incredible individualstory, grew champions league, incredible individual story, grew up in star bridge in the west midlands, went to dortmund and now he's at real madrid, a superstar. that was 95 minutes, he brought us into extra time and in the very first minute of that first extra time. harry kane eventually on the end of this scrambled, good clever work, seconds before billingham got that equaliser in stoppage time, harry kane finishing it off for his second goal of the tournament, not really been involved much in the regular match. it has been an extraordinary game and many ways for both of these teams and we have no less than two minutes to play with england leading to — one again slovakia. i was saying an hour ago it felt like the iceland game from euro 2016, it felt like everything was going against england, but those minutes either side of full—t

a shot from declan rice flashed wide, as england searched desperately for a goal. but it was all to no avail, as slovenia held on for a goalless draw. delight for them, but for england, another is display and another difficult night. they might be through to the last 16 but they know they will need to find some form there, and fast. andy swiss, bbc news. well, you saw the likes of john stones and jordan pickford applauding the fans there. some booed them. plastic cups were also thrown onto the pitch. the england manager says he's happy to take supporters�* stick, instead of the players. i understand it. i'm not going to back away from it. the most important thing here is that the supporters stay with the team. i understand the sort of narrative towards me, and, you know, that is better for the team than it being towards them. but it is creating an unusual environment to operate in. i have not seen any other team qualify and receive similar. so this is what it all means for group c. denmark serbia was also a drab 0—0 draw so denmark and slovenia join england in the

until sunday for their game against slovakia in gelsenkirchen. 23 of the 26 players have trained, declan ricetripper are being put through individual programmes away from the squad. phil foden is back from the uk after a brief break to be with his partnerfor the birth of their third child. we heard from forward eberechi eze, who has backed the manager gareth southgate after all the negativity directed at him and the squad folloing some under—par performances in the group. think it's a testament to his character, the type of person that he is, that his main focus is what can he do to get the best out of everyone, and that's what he's trying to do. you can see it. and just what you're saying there, that's key for players, key for the dressing room and knowing that you've got the full support. and ifeel like, of course you don't, you don't wish for that type of situation where you've got, um, a bit of negativity around. but again, it is football. people have got opinions and stuff like that, so it's understandable. but as we said, the main focus is what we've got, what we believe in. and again,

there is, in midfield, there's a space there and who is going to play alongsidejude bellingham and declan riceo could play there we spoke to today and that's chelsea midfielder conor gallagher and he spoke to us about what he thinks he could bring to the team. i'll always give my best for the team on and off the ball. i work as hard as possible. i'm a good team player, but yeah, i'm willing to do whatever the manager wants me to do. if it's starting a game, if it's coming off from the bench, if it's watching from the crowd, i'll be i'll be happy and do the bestjob i can. now thatjohn stones is back in training, that leaves just two players who have slight fitness doubts over them in luke shaw and bukayo saka. but there are still a couple of days before gareth southgate has to name his first starting 11 for the game against serbia in gelsenkirchen on sunday. the 2016 champions portugal have arrived in germany, ahead of their opener against the czech republic on tuesday. captain cristiano ronaldo and the rest of the squad was greeted by hundreds of fans at their team hotel in marienfeld. this wi

declan rice was speaking saying how sad it was after saying goodbye to of his best mates on the team.uthgate says there are better players in those positions, i guess you can see what he means. it just so happens that right now in those kind of, i will call it attacking midfield areas, and clint just have a surplus of talent that they don't have in other parts of they don't have in other parts of the squad —— england. grealish not getting on the man said he first in not that often and madison coming back from injury. there are young exciting players. my final thought is if you watching and thinking of going to euros to sit on the bench, may be retained a sense of excitement even at that prospect. you mention the parts of the team they're not quite as strong we have just been discussing. that is where harry maguire plays, the defence has perhaps those issues, but his omission is not because of the quality of those players around him. absolutely. gareth southgate has made it absolutely clear that harry maguire would be in the squad, absolutely if you were fit. he does not really have th

i think it is not unrelated to what daoud aziz said in the report that declan rice said in the press conference today. he said that before the game under southey's leadership, we are in good conditions and we are ready to shine in the match against slovenia, but the first two games we saw from england did not show this, that is, it did not give england much hope, on the contrary , the reality is that the english team is one of the most productive teams in the current euro 24. and what happened that this team is still in terms of bags. it's about shooting and the strong players in this issue play more direct games and in the previous game we saw that their number 9 missed a few good chances . in the same group, the results that you can see , denmark has tied 2 goals and england has won a game against tarbestan team with the smallest difference. and also, i would like to tell you that there is apparently a penalty that has a picture next to you and it will be played in favor of croatia. i think your prediction will change a little bit in favor of croatia. from the last game, donnaruma

is that like it's declan rice. is that like 999 it's declan rice. bout sean rice . anything about sean rice. >> i'm just pleased to see that people that play for newcastle united like anthony gordon, are doing so well. i think he's a real treat. and, but i'm afraid that this bombshell, this, this, this treat has come to an end because thank you very much to our guests tonight, by the way , our guests tonight, by the way, doctor renee and of course, alex armstrong. but eileen has written , written in about alex written, written in about alex armstrong. >> she says not another one. >> she says not another one. >> alex armstrong has a touch of the errol flynn about him with that face and head. >> am i try and do that. >> am i try and do that. >> should i try and do the, am i allowed to say they're not one of these young men on our panel? all right, flynn was no, no idea. >> i didn't actually he did die 60 years before i was born. >> so perhaps there's a reason. >> so perhaps there's a reason. >> speaking of a man that's getting on and past his prime mak

i mean yes for and declan rice. i mean yes for me no doubt about that.and side bowen because i think when he's come on as a sub he's done all right. but you know you could have palmer you could try him. don't forget we're through to the next round. so it's not. yes. it's not a huge risks on changing the side that little bit to find somebody comes in and gives a fresh pair of eyes, as in terms of the left back of trippier. well, we just haven't got a left footed player to play there. so he has to maintain that position for the for the time being of course. but it's about every performance today about every performance today about lifting the performance, about lifting the performance, about playing on the front foot and moving the ball quickly and playing off. harry kane and the front three play off the harry kane, the front three squeeze. and what i'm really seeing is this slow, pedantic build up this slow, pedantic build up this sideways and backwards passing. yeah. all the way through. >> it's so tedious, isn't it? >> it's so tedious, isn't it? >> you

striker england have looked to for so long, but here again he was failing to find the target before declan ricehe equaliser his side craved. the manager's 99th game in charge turning into a nightmare. but with just seconds of added time left and as all hope seemed lost, england was saved by a moment of genius. and it's in! a day after his 21st birthday, that man bellingham giving his country a present to cherish. perilously close to going home, suddenly, england had the ascendancy and remarkably, less than a minute into extra time, sub ivan toney found kane for the winner. with the match turned on its head, a stunned slovakia had nothing left. england through with a performance that lacked so much, but delivered the thrilling finale that saved them. i mean, just so proud of the spirit that the players have shown, everybody that we put into the game played a part and helped us to get over the line, helped us to change the game right at the end. and without that, you have no chance of succeeding at anything. england's saviour with this message for those who had criticised his performances here. p

a shot from declan rice flashed wide as england searched desperately for a goal.ing display and another difficult night. they might be through to the last 16, but they know they'll need to find some form there and fast. now it's time for a look at the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello there, good evening. well, it's been the warmest day of the year so far in england and wales today. lots of blue sky and sunshine here in the lavender fields of hertfordshire, but it's turned a lot fresher for scotland and northern ireland. now, yesterday afternoon, 27 degrees celsius was recorded in aberdeenshire, but this afternoon across north—eastern scotland, just 12—13 degrees. so, that's quite the drop, and the cooling trend is set to continue over the next couple of days or so. there will be some showers around at times. the heat and humidity will last longest across england and wales, but it will be gone by the end of the day on thursday. now, overnight tonight, still feeling rather muggy and warm for most. there'll be a lot of low cloud around. that's going to be rollin

the big selection that emma as far as gareth soaked it is who will partner declan rice in midfield.s kobbie mainoo, conor gallagher, also trent alexander—arnold who was so impressive in england's two warm—up matches last week. still a few permutations for garth southgate to work through ahead of that opening match against serbia on sunday. find match against serbia on sunday. and ahead of that open match, security on the agenda as well.— ahead of that open match, security on the agenda as well. that's right, thousands of _ on the agenda as well. that's right, thousands of england _ on the agenda as well. that's right, thousands of england finds - on the agenda as well. that's right, thousands of england finds will- on the agenda as well. that's right, thousands of england finds will be l thousands of england finds will be descending on guessing and and for that matter on sunday against serbia, but there is some concern for the security for that much. serbia's fans have been involved in disturbances over recent years, and the authorities have declared it as a high—risk match, but desp

the 26 were on l the pitch, phil foden has gone back to the uk for the birth of his first child, declan ricerammes. isuppose were following individual programmes. i suppose one of the biggest talking points was that manchester united defender luc sure was on the pitch. he, last weekend leading up to that final game had been doing his own individual work, but he'sjoined the been doing his own individual work, but he's joined the team for the last few sessions and was on the pitch today. we'll have to wait and see if he continues to be joining the rest of the squad and see if he is an option for gareth southgate for that game against slovakia on sunday. there is also talk, isn't there, about whether cole palmer has done enough, a positive effect that they had in that game but they are all on the pitch. preparations have started for that game against slovakia on sunday. so england play on sunday, as do georgia, as on the final day of the group stage they provided the story of the euros so far. just 78th in the world rankings, they beat portugal to make the last 16 of their first major tournamen

declan rice has said they expect to play with great intensity but there has been plenty of questionso criticism coming from former players and pundits, saying they should understand what it is like to play for england and the pressure that brings, and he would prefer if they would get behind and show their support to the team. let's be honest, everybody feels and has an opinion about the players who should be playing, the tactics, and we are expecting gareth southgate to make one change, conor gallagher will come into the midfield to replace trent alexander—arnold. that is one change but we will see how it plays out when it kicks off at apm tonight. all the talking. full but it will be in some ways about the performance as much as the results. the conservative party has withdrawn support from two candidates being looked into by the gambling commission as part of the investigation into bets placed on the timing of the general election. the gambling commission is looking into the actions of craig williams — who was a close aide to rishi sunak — and laura saunders. both have denied wron

declan rice and kieran trippier were in the change in their individual programmes and phil foden wasthat draw against slovenia. he was a talking point yesterday as he fell off a bike at the england training camp as they did a recovery session, but hopefully he will give us an insight as to what it is like in the camp as they prepare for the big match on sunday. the united states soccer federation condemned the online racist abuse suffered by several of its players following a 2—1 defeat by panama at the copa america. former arsenal striker folarin balogun, crystal palace defender chris richards and juventus pair timothy weah and weston mckennie were all targeted online after the hosts lost the group c match in atlanta. juventus' timothy weah was sent off in the 18th minute after his yellow card was upgarded to a red from a var check for punching panama's roderick miller in the head in an off—the—ball incident. but it was the us who took the lead with this strike from monaco's folarin balogun, his fifth goal in 1a appearances for the country. the lead didn't last long, however, when p

declan rice hit the post hoping to equalise but it was jude bellingham's first shot on target that tiedn harry kane headed then captain harry kane headed the winner in extra time means england will now face switzerland in the quarter finals . in politics news today, finals. in politics news today, the leader of reform uk has told a gathering of supporters that he'd axed the tv licence fee, which funds the bbc. it comes after he was questioned during an appearance on the bbc's question time programme about accusations that some of the party's activists are racist. taking aim, though, at opposition leaders, nigel farage also said he wants to be an alternative to slippery sunak, and described sir keir starmer as having the charisma of a damp rag . at the event in birmingham, rag. at the event in birmingham, mr farage claimed that undercover footage of a campaigner making a racial slur against the prime minister was part of a smear campaign, though channel 4 have denied those claims. >> this guy is a set up. he was acting from the minute he walked into that office. he came up with a stream

that he really, i would suggest that he stays, but manoeuvre his position, bring him back with declan rice had his third child with his with his partner. i've got no issues with that. and phil's played the game so far and i think he's going to he's going to have a good game should he play on sunday. but i'm not picking the team. you know that's the thing. and harry kane as well , he's that's the thing. and harry kane as well, he's had as you said, may i call it , as well, he's had as you said, may i call it, over the years he's just delivered and he's delivered and delivered. unfortunately we as a team are just playing too slow, and he's struggling to get involved in the game. and but when the moment comes, i'm sure he will rise to the occasion. >> well, when the moment comes, it's like we're sort of waiting to get through the hard bit. then we'll suddenly show form. but unfortunately, that friendly against iceland was the beginning of it all and we haven't really looked good. what's your prediction for the scores then on sunday, well, i think england. england will win because we've got we

win to really prove those doubters and prove the criticism, as you said, as has harry kane and declan riceghting, say, to judges after the tournament. but of course, really the performances on the pitch so far they'll know haven't been good enough and it's how they get themselves into the game tonight, how well they start and whether we'll see, as we have done over the last couple of games, do we sit back after going one nil up or do we try and go for more, try and really put the game to slovenia and put it to bed, possibly before half time? england realistically need to win their group need to top the group today to face an easier side in the round of 16. even if we win and possibly come second, depending on how denmark's group 90, depending on how denmark's group go, we could well face germany in the round of 16, which is probably not something that england fans want tonight. but how are the england fans feeling? we've been out on the streets of birmingham today. here's what they told us. >> i think from watching their game the last two games, they're, not really playing as a team. i thi

. >> look, look southgate's looking very chipper declan rice. they're chopping the ball around.pper. yeah. >> don't forget these. >> don't forget these. >> i've been to so many of these. you know the training. >> it's like a it's like a prison camp sometimes these these these big tournaments. you go there and they start training . the cameras are allowed to roll for ten minutes, and then you're thrown out, basically. so in other words, you're not going to give anything away , but, you to give anything away, but, you know, listen, it's a fabulous thing that joe gomez there, some of the young marc guehi, some of these are not, are not household names, you know, the big ones. we know harry kane and latterly jude bellingham, people like that. >> but you know, this is, to me it's a, you know, it's a mix of experience and there's bukayo saka. >> we've got a lot of stick. the other night, even though he came off the bench. >> yeah he came on 65 minutes. but he got all the stick i know and there was a few people you can imagine the backdrop to that. >> after what happened in the euros w

you could say trent alexander—arnold wasn't fantastic in that role alongside declan rice.rs this morning. the journalists have all been tipped off. i would have thought by or given a steer by the fa, i don't think he's going to make any changes at all. and i think, to be fair, steven, if you have a plan in your mind, if you think something's going to work, you need more than one game to execute it. they've got more than enough in the locker to beat denmark tonight. denmark are not the side they were three years ago when they took england to the right to the brink in the semi—final of the euros at wembley. and so i think they will. they will advance through tonight and that should give them a little bit of breathing space going into that final game against slovenia, let's hope so. >> should we touch on scotland? >> should we touch on scotland? >> because a lot has changed hasn't it? >> in a matter of days. >> in a matter of days. >> yeah. without doubt. i mean, look, we were stephen and i were talking on on saturday. we're thinking, goodness me, this is an embarrassment of

but he's got the number eight shirt, so it looks like he's going to be playing alongside declan riceng against germany, and that's friday at 8 pm, and we've got to have a birthday. >> i was just looking at the scottish bus there, which is very cartoon like. >> i thought the english bus was excellent. yeah. really classy . excellent. yeah. really classy. i thought i'd like to be on board that, but i think that scottish one was a bit cartoon like. >> do you think so? >> do you think so? >> i don't know what it was like inside the england bus. that is. it wasn't. it wasn't the england bus. >> it wasn't the scotland scotland between the scotland bus. >> then it's all the scotland there. >> you like that one? >> you like that one? >> oh that is the. >> oh that is the. >> sorry. yeah. you're not happy with that one. >> no . well the scotland bus was >> no. well the scotland bus was like that yesterday but the england bus, that's not the england bus, that's not the england bus, that's not the england bus i saw on the news last night was the nelson's coach last night. >> oh that was, that wa

kobbie mainoo of manchester united coming alongside declan rice.r as well. they both play for clubs united and chelsea, who have endured chaos this season. yet they both managed to thrive on the pitch, which means that psychologically they're capable of blocking out all the noise and all the nonsense and conjecture that goes into the playing for those clubs and performing on the pitch. they both had excellent seasons. although kobbie mainoo wasn't really known to a public audience until after christmas. >> maybe they like the chaos, maybe they thrive on it. >> yeah, it's possible. it really is. >> i mean, you know, sometimes there's something to be said as well. an for the fearlessness of youth. we remember england's best days for in wayne rooney's career, for example , when he was career, for example, when he was 1718. euro 2004, he didn't have a care in the world. he was nutmegging zinedine zidane in euro 2004, then the pressure builds up on him over a number of years, and it began to weigh on him and the shirt seemed very, very heavy. but yeah,

maybe he was given a go alongside declan rice in midfield.ed. but nice to nice to receive some some words of support from prince william. >> is tonight with scotland 8:00. yeah 8:00. >> yeah in stuttgart and scotland as we mentioned a few times now put themselves in a position where they can achieve history. now last week of course, it was all downbeat. it was five one against germany. now, i should say that i should caveat all this by saying that conceding five goals in east germany could yet prove decisive, because the goal difference might count against them. so what they're hoping for is that they win tonight. scotland? yeah, they get to four points. they become one of the four best third place teams out of the eight groups. they won't find out though. if they're qualified, they could have this glorious win tonight, but they're not certain of going through until wednesday when all the third matches in the groups are completed , so they won't are completed, so they won't find out their fate until wednesday. so it's going to be a bit of a w

. >> but also, my friend, you've got people like phil foden or declan rice who are not playing in positionsue and therefore they're being compromised internationally . yet they can't internationally. yet they can't say, look, i don't normally play in this position . i'm being in this position. i'm being forced to play in this position because the manager doesn't know what he's doing . what he's doing. >> i mean, that's what they're that's the implication. that's harry kane's implication here as well. and i couldn't agree more. and for southgate to come out with this, well they're a bit tired every player across europe is a bit tired. they're all the same position. >> so it's a bit more that we we're missing kalvin phillips . we're missing kalvin phillips. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> kalvin phillips you good good guy good good player. >> oh about 4 or 5 years ago. yeah yeah we again we had him at west ham and he was definitely toilet so yeah not. >> yeah. but how dare you criticise these young players. yeah. >> well exactly what i say to mr phillips, dawn, let's talk about seagulls. something that

bryce has had an unbelievable season —— declan rice has had an unbelievable season with arsenal. irate_ out in the group stages. it was very disappointing. a good result - out in the group stages. it was very | disappointing. a good result against germany, which should have set us up against romania. we did not deserve to go through. this team and these players have the right mentality, they had the ability to go all the way through this tournament. i think it is that that pool of players we have had for a long time. we can be optimistic. forget what has gone on in previous games. this group of players are really talented. i think they are ready to go and try to win this tournament. iii they are ready to go and try to win this tournament.— this tournament. ifi am honest, i do not really _ this tournament. ifi am honest, i do not really routinely _ this tournament. ifi am honest, i do not really routinely watch i do not really routinely watch football, i am a tournament viewer. i am into the euros. can you lift the lid on your time? you play for your club and then maybe you are at a tou
