Where is the plan for improved ventilation, for nightingale classrooms, so that children can socially distance within schools and not have to be sent home in bubbles . The virus is not going away, where is the plan . The honourable gentleman seems to have paid very little heed to some of the measures we put in place in order to ensure children can get back into school, and it is probably not unsurprising considering his Partys Policy seems to have been very really encouraging and making sure that schools are open.

We were hearing the Education Secretary answering questions there. We will go to the latest Sports News now. Plenty of ahead of englands latest quarterfinal clash. Some live sport this morning, the rain moving away from wimbledon but it certainly leaving its mark, players slipping on the grass, chief amongst them being Serena Williams. The all England Club have had to defend their courts the atmosphere here so flat after Serena Williams took the Stump On Court and ultimately forced to withdraw from the tournament. The fact it happened on the same baseline were someone else had fallen earlier and was forced to pull out against Roger Federer has put the scrutiny on the central Court Surface with the roof shot, the way that the humidity captures that moisture and stays on that lush green surface. The all England Club forced to respond today and say they have had an unprecedented amount of rain in comparison to the past ten years. They have had to have that rickshaw and the natural part of playing on grass is that it will capture that more sure have had to have the roof shot. Roger federer saying you have to get through the first two rounds and be very careful on grass, we saw djokovic stumble more than he normally does in his opening round match, and even on the court next to me right now, one contestant falling. Grand Slam Champion going out earlier today, following to the surface getting up. And abnormal site on grass, especially in the early days before it Hardens Up was that the place is buzzing now because we have ten is happening everywhere, including the outside court, which hasnt been happening in the afternoons on the monday and tuesday we have ten is happening. Djokovic playing anderson, a repeat of the 2018 wimbledon final. Anderson far from that player that reached the final three years ago. Djokovic, can he when the olympic gold and all four slams in the one year . No one has done that. The early days, 15 up in the opening set. And lets see how Cam Norrie was doing, carried over from yesterday, and managed to win the second set. Seven games to five and take in the Opening Game of the third set. Lots of brits in action today. Andy murray in Centre Core Action later today, and all eyes on him after his incredible when when it looked like it was going to run away from him. He is playing 0scar, the german qualifier. Liam brodie playing. Many more. 0pening round matches still to be played. That is so far behind we are here. Plenty of tennis to look forward to for the remainder of the day. Looking good for djokovic for the moment. It might have been half full. But Gareth Southgate says England Fans provided one of wembley� s best atmospheres for their euro 2020 win over germany. The Quarter Final against ukraine will take place in a very different setting though with supporters unable to travel to Rome. John watson is at wembley. John, itll likely be a lot quieter at the Stadio Olimpico on saturday night. Yes, it will be. Hello from wembley. Those england supporters that roared on england with that brilliant success against germany Last Night Being told to stay at home to watch that quarterfinal to come in Rome this weekend. As we know, with the restrictions in place, with regards to accessing italy at the moment, there is a five Day Period of Self Isolation that anyone entering the country from the uk must adhere to, so if anyone was to even travel today, the Isolation Period would of course end on sunday and that would mean they would be left watching the match possibly from their hotel room, if they do adhere to those rules. And then there is the ten Day Quarantine Period is well on your return. To the uk. With italy one of those countries listed on the Amber List for travel at the moment. So certainly England Fans being told to stay at home and enjoy the Game And Cheer on Gareth Southgates side in the quarterfinal to come against the ukraine on saturday at study oh olympic oh in Rome. Ukraine on saturday at study oh olympic oh in Rome. Gareth southgate also admitting olympic oh in Rome. Gareth southgate also admitting he olympic oh in Rome.

We have seen some of the players who played you last night at the Training Base there will, walking around. As we know, those who were not involved or the substitutes in that, they have been training today, undergoing Light Exercise in anticipation of that game to come this weekend. You can only envisage what the move must be like in that camp mood. Gareth southgate will be hugely pleased with the performance, and i think, as we know, they certainly changing around this England Team now in light of that performance. You have to agree that perhaps Gareth Southgate is winning those doubters all around now in light of those call that have come from to play more Attacking Line up, more attacking football, but they have been very tough to break down and enters that defensive solidity which is really helping england to move through this tournament so far. They havent conceded any goals, and i think the victory against germany has changed him out, notjust within the England Camp is certainly with the England Camp is certainly with the fans watching as well. The England Camp is certainly with the fans watching as well. Thank you very much ill have more for you in the next hour. And plenty of coverage of wimbledon throughout the afternoon. Always build up to another game. Many thanks. Delays in opening the global economy to summer travellers are having a huge impact on the tourism industry, according to the united nations.
