Less spectators, 16,000 in here, well under 2500 will be England Fans, and the temperature could be a factor, expected to be 28 degrees around kick off. They know its a huge opportunity to make it back to back Semi Finals at major finals and while Southgate Isnt underestimating ukraine he knows his team are in a good place heading to the match later. The opportunity is there. The confidence is there. And the belief. And i think they are looking forward to the challenge. It is interesting, Gareth Southgate says he feels playing away from home could be a huge opportunity rather than a negative. There is one Entry Concern concerning the caer sakho, he is a doubt for the match but long gone are the days where an injury wreaks a sense of panic around the England Squad such as the Strength And Depth Gareth Southgate has at his disposal. And to anna whats the atmosphere like out and about . Well, this is the official Fan Village in the historic heart of rome and normally these wobbles would be heaving with England Fans in Red And White but it is just a trickle of tourists returning to the eternal city after lockdown because England Fans have been told not to travel from the uk. However they can come from elsewhere in the eu but there will be strict checks At The Gates including proof of vaccination or a negative Covid Test or proof of Residence Or Flight details and weve spoken to one Person Today who has had her ticket cancelled will stop gutting for her but for Gareth Southgate, he wont be alone here because of course he will have the hopes and expectations of a nation on his shoulders. On his shoulders. Yes, you will thank you on his shoulders. Yes, you will thank you very on his shoulders. Yes, you will thank you very much. The Supermarket Morrisons has agreed a Takeover Deal worth £6. 3 billion. The bid is from a new company backed by three private Investment Groups, including the american owner of majestic wine. Last month the chain rejected an offer of £5. 5 Billion from a different firm, saying it significantly undervalued the business. Our Business Correspondent Katy austin has more. Morrisons has nearly 500 stores and employs about 110,000 staff in the uk.

Doctors are calling on the government to keep some coronavirus measures in place in england after the 19th Ofjuly, when the final stage of Lifting Restrictions is due to happen. The British Medical Association says face coverings and improved ventilation should continue. The Prime Minister has said he hopes the country will be able to return to something close to pre Pandemic Life later this month, but extra precautions might be needed. Naomi grimley reports. What will our lives look like by The End of this month . Some ministers have hinted there could be a sweeping away of the regulations weve got so used to. 0ne even suggested masks might become optional afterjuly the 19th. But today doctors warned that wouldnt be wise with infections rising. Dont give people false assurances or hopes that life will be back to normal. Do the responsible thing which is to continue to have targeted measures to stop the spread of this infection or prevent its spread with a parallel Vaccination Programme so we can probably get to a point in the not too distant future where we are bringing those Infection Rates down. This comes as Ministers Debate allowing fully jabbed people to avoid isolation if they come into contact with an infectious person and instead do daily testing. Downing street says it is under active consideration and some doctors think it might work but only if people are disciplined. Although the lateral flow tests, the rapid tests you do yourself at home, are by no means as accurate as the Pcr Tests that you have done either by post and sent to the lab or the one you go into the centre for, theyre not as accurate for telling if you are infected but they are pretty good at telling if you are infectious. And the Rhythm Of Life is a powerful beat, puts a tingle in your fingers and a tingle in yourfeet. This star studded video has been released ahead of the 73rd birthday of the nhs this weekend. Any changes to covid restrictions remain dependent on how well our Health System can cope this summer. Naomi grimley, Bbc News. People could be facing the prospect of empty Supermarket Shelves and Price Hikes because of a shortage of lorry drivers. Thats the warning from Uk Industry bosses, who say more than 60,000 workers are needed to keep goods moving. Our business correspondent, dave harvey, reports. Its food on the shelves, its drinks on the shelves, and its builders merchants being full. Thats really what it is. If were not delivering product, the shops wont be full, and that will have a massive impact on the uk. In many ways, trucks like these are meant to be the lifeblood of our economy. They keep everything moving. Right now, theyre parked up and going nowhere. Not that theres a shortage of companies with stuff to move, or indeed, at 150 grand for a cab and a trailer, any shortage of trucks themselves. Theyjust cant find enough drivers. One in ten of this somerset firms lorries are parked up at the moment, costing thousands every day. The industry calculates britain is short of 60,000 lorry drivers. 15,000 are European Drivers who left the country in the last year. Through the pandemic a lot of drivers wanted to go home to be closer to their families, and they really, since the effects of brexit, they havent wanted to come back. They can earnjust as much in places like germany or france, theres no real need to be in the uk. On top of that, during the pandemic, many new drivers couldnt take their hgv licence test. 30,000 tests were delayed last year. At this family owned Haulage Firm near bristol, the boss is out when i arrive, back behind the wheel. And if it wasnt for me doing the Interview Today Id be driving myself, because it has become the case, mainly, were both driving weekly. Competition for drivers is fierce, supermarkets paying double rates to keep their trucks moving. And small firms like this have had to put their wages up, too. As of Ist Ofjune this year, we had to give our drivers, across the board, about a 25 pay increase, which if you think about it, thats a lot of money. We are retaining our drivers and bringing new employees to the company, but we had to make a decision now that weve had to pass that cost, or certainly the drivers wages element, to our customers, to be able to carry this forward. In time, this will all put up prices in our shops. They want government to fund new apprenticeships and training schemes, and ministers insist they are working on that. But it takes several years to learn to drive a big wagon, and britain Needs Tens Of Thousands more drivers right now. Dave harvey, Bbc News. And now to Motor Racing where the seven time formula one World Champion Sir Lewis Hamilton has signed a new two Year Contract to stay with mercedes. The british driver is locked in a tough Title Fight this season with red bulls max verstappen, whos leading the championship. This weekend they race again in austria. Tennis, and Sir Andy Murray is questioning his future, after being knocked out of the third round of wimbledon. Dan evans also failed to make the last 16. 0ur senior Sports Reporter Laura Scott is there. Laura, not the night the british Tennis Fans would have liked but some real hope for them today . Well, yes. Last night was not the night they would have hoped for and it is hard to know who will be more disappointed today, Andy Murray or dan evans. Murray suffered his worst ever wimbledon defeat in terms of games won against Denis Shapovalov and that performance has sowed some doubts in his mind about his teacher. He says he has to work out of all the hard work to come back from injuries is worth it to stop dan evans, he worked hard against his opponent and said his four Set Defeat was a tough one despite sebastian kordas future looking bright. Talking of right, it is writing up the covers are still on behind me because weve had some rain.

Well, one lucky England Fan who is there isjoel phillips. Hes from doncaster and lives in hamburg and so was able to get a ticket for the game. A little earlier, he told me how. To be honest, it has all been pretty spontaneous. I read an article on Tuesday Night about the England Fans not being able to travel, so i had a little look on the Uefa Website and got straight through and there were tickets available for the game, so i bought one there and then and worked the rest out along the way. It is all on a bit of a wing and a prayer, so here we are. There will be so many England Fans hearing you talk about how easy that was very jealously, did you have to pay a lot of money for it . Not at all, no. Ijust paid the Face Value for the ticket directly from the Uefa Website, so, yeah, super easy. Thejoys of being inside the eu.

A mans been charged with the murder of a 60 year old who died after being stabbed in broad daylight at oxford circus, in london, on thursday evening. The suspect has been named as Tedi Fanta hagos whos 25 and from swansea. Around twenty people are missing after a landslide in the japanese city of atami. The of atami. Prime minister has held emergency the Prime Minister has held emergency talks to discuss the damage caused by days of Heavy Rain on Japans Coast two pacific coast. Mode It Cascaded down a hillside, smashing into buildings and washing away cars. 0fficials officials as it happened at around 10 30am at local time. Several houses were swept away, thousands of homes in the area are without power. The region has seen heavy Rain And Flooding since friday. Rainfall has been above the average fur the perfect show where atami is located. Deeperfactor. Professor Seijiro Takeshita from the University Of Shizuoka says many of the homes that were hit were in a fairly precarious position. The past two days it has been a record breaking amount of rain and in fact, it has already exceeded the Amount Amount of Rain Injuly as a whole. And while unfortunately these disasters do happen, as you just reported, one assuring thing is the fact that injapan, because of our strong cohesiveness within the group and within the community, our societal values, we do not see any looting or opportunists, we do not have any people who will rob around, so bascically we are all going to be geared up to facing and helping these people out. We were hearing there from Rupert Wingfield hayes that it has been reported that above the community that has been so badly hit by this mudslide, the forest had been cut down and that is being looked at as a possible cause for why this was so bad. Is that something you are aware of . Oh, yes, i was in atami with my son just two weeks ago and if you go there you can see it is a typical situation where people tend to build houses or whatever in a very, very acute angle. But injapan, this is a thing that you have to live with. 0nly10 of land is actually usable and that is one of the tragedies that gets triggered because of our physical situation. Unfortunately, we just have to cope with these natural disasters. As you pointed out, there could be some political implications, but at this moment, political issue is not the agenda. Eventually it probably will be, but at this moment we are all there to basically help out these people and in that sense, we are very good at uniting to help others during these disasters. Scientists at the University Of Essex are working on a solution for one of the largest and most complex environmental problems facing the country. The uk has nearly 5 Million tonnes of nuclear waste to dispose of, but the job is so difficult and dangerous that it would take humans 120 years to complete. So, essex scientists are designing a new generation of robots capable of working in some of the most radioactive places on the planet. Heres our Science Correspondent richard westcott. There is enough nuclear waste in britain to fill wembley stadium. Some of it has lain untouched in waterfor decades. If humans cleared it up, it would take 120 years. So scientists are developing a new generation of intelligent robots to help out. Their Circuit Boards will need to withstand huge levels of radiation, so they are testing them in this special room. The entrance is this one and a Half Tonne Steel and polythene door, which you just pull like that and get out of the way and then ijust have to stop the momentum so it does not bounce too much. It is pretty heavy. Then we go into the room, i have the geiger counter, but it is very safe, the room is not being used at the moment. You can hear there is no radiation anywhere. When you come in, there is this blue door here. That will open and a beam fires one and half billion times the normal number of neutrons at whatever you put in its path. What that does is recreate really high levels of radiation. Lets see what is here. There will be a few blips because it is just background radiation. Richard, i have one of our robots here that is carrying one of our Processor Boards. It has brought us a little present, hasnt it . For experiments. And what you can see here is a Processor Board that we have used for these experiments here which we have blasted with radiation and even though it looks perfectly fine, it does not work any more because the circuits have been damaged by radiation. So at the moment, from nuclear Decommissioning And Processing of nuclear waste, this is mainly done by Human Operators who have to wear protective clothing and it takes about five to six hours to go and get these protective clothes on and they then have to travel to to the site where they undertake the work for another hour or so, undertake the work for two hours and afterwards they have to come back and get undressed. One of the benefits of using robotic solutions for that is that they do not have to go in these protective clothings, they are in the environment all the time. They can work 2a hours, seven days a week. Here is the room in action. The white dots are radiation damaging the cameras electronics. Building tougher electronics could also help protect our technology from naturally occurring cosmic radiation. It has become a modern problem, because electronics are getting smaller, it is getting faster, it is doing more, and that means that it is getting more interfered with by these particles. So things like driverless cars, electric vehicles, internet technologies, modern electronic systems, ai systems, Machine Learning systems, almost anything you can think of in our modern electronic world is being interfered with by these particles. Clearing up our old nuclear waste is one of the most complex and expensive environmental challenges facing the country. Building robots to work where Humans Cant survive is key to solving the problem. Richard westcott, Bbc News, the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in 0xfordshire. This weekend, some of the best young Gaming Talent in the uk will be competing at the british Esports Student championships, but ahead of the action, a special Test Tournament was held to Help Organisers work out how to make events like this more inclusive. Bbc radio1 newsbeat� s Steffan Powell has more. Dan is playing fifa, his favourite game and one of the most popular in the world. He loves it because nothing beats that feeling of putting the ball into the top corner, especially when your mates watching. At the moment, there is no way for Dan And Chris to play competitively against people who are similarly abled. Free kick pupils at colleges like this one just outside cheltenham for those with Special Educational Needs have been playing Video Games and watching E Sports for years and now they are asking why cant we compete just like Everybody Else . Dan has cerebral palsy, supports chelsea, uses an xbox adaptive controller to play and an Igears Device to communicate. Why is competitive play so important foryou, dan . Because i like to win. Shoot this Pilot Event had the students take on fifa fans from similar colleges across the uk in a tournament to try and figure out what needs to be done to make e Sports Competition Work for people like them. Hes in Stalk Fan Player chris has Learning Difficulties and has adapted the games settings to help him play. I like winning and certificates. National star needs to win. The event has been supported by the british esports association, whose aim is to try and grow competitive gaming in the uk. One of the aims for this is that we can find what level do we need to aim these competitions at, a bit like the paralympics. You have different people with different levels of ability or different levels of need competing levels of need competing in different levels of competition. Perhaps this is where this competition could lead us. Back inside, alex, who has a muscle wasting condition, is now in the hot seat in the final match of the afternoon. Things do not quite go to plan on the pitch, but he is staying positive. I like playing games because i like having another world that is different where you dont have a disability, you dont have the barriers, you get to play as equal as anyone else. The whole world stops, you dont feel like you are in the real world. You feel like you are competing actually on the pitch. What is that like . Amazing. No disability, no boundaries, just amazing. Able bodied players are getting ready to compete in the british Esports Championship finals, but this year an Exhibition Match for players like alex, Dan And Chris will take place ahead of the event so they can showcase their skills on the same stage as everyone else for the first time. Steffan powell, Bbc News. When schools first closed to help prevent the spread of Coronavirus Last year, it left many students with some spare time on their hands between online lessons. One of those was 14 year old Makenzy Beard from swansea who decided to take up painting in her garden shed. Now 18 months on, her work is set to go on display at a prestigious Art Gallery in london. Ben price went to meet her. When schools closed in march 2020, makenzy decided to find a new hobby to occupy her time. Over the past year she has produced more than a dozen portraits. We had paints and canvases and brushes in the shed, and i thought, why not give it a try . And itjust escalated from there, really. One of her favourite subjects to paint is her neighbour, john tucker, a farmer on the gower peninsula. Having photographed him at work, mackenzy spent three weeks carefully crafting his image. I was standing in the yard, ijust brought some Hay Nets down, and she just stopped me and asked me if she could take a photograph. I didnt expect what i did see at The End. It was absolutely brilliant. Shes a very talented young lady, really. Hes just got a really lovely, kind and friendly demeanour, and i thought that hes local, he is totally unrelated to covid, he just goes about his business every day. And i thought he would just be a wonderful person to paint and a really nice essence to capture. So i was doing five minutes before school, an hour afterwards before sport, it was all broken down. I never spent any long, extended periods of time doing it. I reckon in total i probably spent 20 hours. Makenzy entered her first Art Competition with this portrait, and it clearly impressed. Next it will be exhibited at young Artists Summer Show at the Royal Academy Of Arts during july and august. That will be really exciting, and to have judges look at it, and other artists, shows that its appreciation from another Artists Perspective and Notjust Family and friends. With much of her time now spread between schoolwork and playing hockey for wales, makenzy says shes unsure what the future may hold, but she hopes art and being creative will be a part of it. Ben price, Bbc News. She is phenomenally talented. Now its time for a look at the weather with matt. Bigger Billowing Clouds across the country through the rest of the day and into tomorrow.
