The united states says its Military Withdrawal from afghanistan is now 90 complete well ahead of the September 11th deadline set by President Biden. Heres a statement from Us Central Command in florida, saying. That involved 984 loads being carried out of the country on these c 17 cargo planes. This is for both troops and equipment. The us started the year with 2,500 troops in afghanistan. Many were at Bagram Airbase which is north of kabul and has been its key base. At the peak of us involvement Over a decade ago, more than 100,000 us and nato troops passed through bagram. But now theyve gone. The last us troops withdrew from bagram in the middle of the night without notifying the afghans. That huge compound is now deserted and under the control of Afghan Forces. The Military Commander there says those forces expect to have to defend the base against a taliban assault. And of course theyd have to do that without the americans. If we compare ourselves with the americans, its a big difference. We cannot say we will continue. That much powerful that the Us Army was before on that base. We are trying to do the best and, as much as possible, secure and serve all the people. Lyse doucet is in kabul. Lyse, thank for joining lyse, Thank Forjoining us On 0utside source. If 90 of the withdrawal is done, tells about the 10 . Remains for america to do . It is very interesting that in this last update from centcom, and even updated the percentages now for many months, they say it is at 90 , we will not be updating it any more because of our security concerns. In other words they know the taliban are watching this, a Countdown Right to the last us and Nato Soldier in afghanistan, the last bit of the retrograde, so it is hard to say exactly what it involves. We went to bagram when the retrograde was just starting. Huge hangers, extraordinary amounts of military assets, toilet paper, chilli beans, electronic equipment, gps devices, armoured vehicles, the whole gamut of things that the united states and soldiers used during its years of operations here, but it is telling us that it is in days now. find operations here, but it is telling us that it is in days now.

What the united states is saying is, we use troops notjust in afghanistan, we use american missions around the world as marines guarding the us embassy in berlin, so this is a normal diplomatic procedure to use your armed forces, to protect your diff to phonetic staff. The difficulty now, and it is a big one, is that the taliban are counting that as what they say they negotiated with the united states. Bay city trainers, the civilians, the advisers, all of that have to 90, the advisers, all of that have to go, and that tension between who or what has to go under the terms of the deal is at the heart of discussions Over how to secure kabul international airport, the Entry And Exit Point Notjust for the diplomats who are still here, and not just the diplomats who are still here, and notjust the us mission, but also for afghans. Notjust the us mission, but also forafghans. It notjust the us mission, but also for afghans. It is also seen as, in the worst Case Scenario, it may not happen, as an evacuation route. Without a functioning airport, but some kind of protection, the embassies will not stay here and many afghans will find it very Nerve Racking too. Many afghans will find it very nerveracking too.

I just want to run back through some of the most recent of elements and come back to you. Most recent details. The taliban Say Theyve captured another ten districts in the past day. And afghanistans national Security Adviser says his national defence forces became Overstretched when the us withdrew its troops. Some of our resources were not enough, particularair some of our resources were not enough, particular air force, some of our resources were not enough, particularair force, and there were bases far else that were hard to supply and needed Air Support to do so. This is war. And there will be times when we are under pressure, but it is capable to defend most of the territory of afghanistan. It is working to enhance his capabilities further. In the provice of takhar, 15 out of 16 districts fell to the taliban. But in the provincial capital, Afghan Forces held firm. They successfully defended taloqan against an attack, although the city is now surrounded on all sides. This is a spokesman for the local gOvernor. Translation the taliban tried to break through translation the taliban tried to break through the translation the taliban tried to break through the Citys Translation the taliban tried to break through the Citys Defence i break through the Citys Defence line until midnight, but they faced strong resistance from our Defence And Security forces. Our forces were able to defend the westgate varsity, with high morale and patriotism. Western data varsity. The focus is now on holding onto the provincial capitals. In the next Door Province of badakhshan, at least 25 of the 28 districts have fallen. The afghan journalist Bilal Sarwary shared this video, saying, four taliban in a vehicle show up in one of the most remote districts on the Border with tajikistan and china. It fell to the taliban without a fight. The afghan gOvernment doesnt see every district lost as a defeat. On the contrary, one afghan Overnment-official'>GOvernment Official has said we pulled out intentionally from districts that were smaller and not strategically significant. He says the gOvernment moved its troops to protect larger towns instead. One Freelance Journalist in afghanistan tweeted about the role of rumours. A local elected official said forces abandoned districts because they thought handing Over the rural areas to the taliban was part of the us taliban plan. Which, of course, it is not. There were also reports some afghan gOvernment forces abandoned their posts and defected to the enemy. But afghanistans national Security Adviser says thats not true. They may have abandoned their posts because they ran out of ammunition, they ran out of supplies, but by no means has anyone defected to the taliban. They may have abandoned their posts because they were no Longer able to fight. A fortnight ago, the Washington Post reported an assessment by us intelligence that the afghan gOvernment could fall within six months of a us Military Withdrawal. The events of recent days have made that assessment seem plausible though we should emphasise that outcome is some way off. Lyse, if we can bring you back and lie from kabul, how do we assess the progress the taliban is making in terms of a genuine threat to the gOvernment live from kabul . I think we just have to be very cautious. Youve been listening, the districts which have been tumbling across the country. As you say some of them are not as surgically as important, some of them are falling without a fight because, technically, these afghan secure the forces decide theyre not worth protecting, they pull back to protecting, they pull back to protect more important installations, and this map that we are seeing with greater clarity, the Military Map of afghanistan, and it is also a map of human suffering, because we have heard in case after case that what happens, you will have a small post in the middle of nowhere and they are begging their commanders, send us food, sent us water, send us ammunition for we heard one report of a unit which asked 70 times and was always told, it is coming, it is coming. We are seeing that the Supply Chains are not working properly, and so this criticism, did national criticism, did the Afghan National Secured Fe f f criticism, did the Afghan National Secured Fe set f criticism, did the Afghan National Secured Fe set up f criticism, did the Afghan National Secured Fe set up their own secured forces not set up their own system . That system seems to be falling apart, which seems to be one of the reasons white in so many areas some of the posts are falling so quickly. So if that continues to be the case, of course it means the taliban keep advancing, but it will be much different pain of battle. It is expected once the provincial capitals come under attack. That is where you have the better trained, better resourced forces and the most best trained of all, some 40,000 best trained of all, some 40,000 Best Of The best trained by the biggest armies in the world, 40,000 pleas and army who are trained, and they are supposed to be the elite who will keep the country safe.

Kaduna state has now closed all schools it considers vulnerable. More students are missing. This is how the issue has escalated. This week, there have been two attacks in kaduna, one at a hospital eight people were taken one at a school hours later. Around 150 students were taken. And once again, parents in nigeria are facing their worst fears. We stand in one voice. We condemn whatever happened and we protest, we continue to protest until her children are brought back. Our children. Sadly, this is nothing new. On the contrary, the Mass Kidnapping of children is becoming a regular event. There have been 11 Mass Kidnappings of students in these five states since december. Over 1,000 students have been taken. 9 have been killed. 300 are still missing. This latest round of kidnappings started in Kankara State in december 344 schoolboys were taken from their dormitories. A week later, they were released. A day later after that, 84 students were captured and were released after a gun battle. There were two attacks in february. 27 boys and their teachers were taken in niger state. Later that month, 279 schoolgirls were kidnapped in Zamfara State. Most were freed days later. Unfortunately, there are many other examples i could show you. And they all bring back of memories of the chibok girls the 276 schoolgirls who were kidnapped by the islamist Group Boko Haram in 2014. 100 are still missing. Those girls were taken by boko haram, but this already complex issue is complicated further by the fact that militant islam does not fully explain what is happening this year. Farfrom far from it. The Analyst Bulama Bukarti has described an epidemic of insecurity and argues. And its not only students who are being targeted. There are kidnappings across the country that happen every day, people travelling to a native town, people travelling to a native town, people visiting relatives. Even people visiting relatives. Even people in their homes. And this is happening to particular in outlook as the nigerian economy is suffering so much. Other agree that these broader issues have to be considered. It is like a competition process. Why it is like a competition process. Why not it is like a competition process. Why not look at the social economic issues why not look at the social economic issues in why not look at the social economic issues in the country broadly and address issues in the country broadly and address it . And it includes everybody. No doubt this is more and it includes everybody. No doubt this is more than and it includes everybody. No doubt this is more than militant and it includes everybody. No doubt this is more than militant islam. This is more than militant islam. This is about a reduction in pOverty, needing a better performing economy, but that cannot be delivered Overnight, and covid is making those things harder. But we can see in the response of some local politicians that they see this as an economic issue. Injuly last year, the gOvernor of Zamfara State promised bandits two cows and guns for every. Underthe promised bandits two cows and guns for every. Under the people did promise to disarm. Here is the analyst again arguing we cannot ignore the fact that school specifically are being targeted. I would not be surprised if these people i would not be surprised if these peorrie are i would not be surprised if these peorrie are doing i would not be surprised if these people are doing it i would not be surprised if these people are doing it for i would not be surprised if these people are doing it for some people are doing it for some ideological people are doing it for some ideological reasons people are doing it for some ideological reasons or people are doing it for some ideological reasons or at people are doing it for some i ideological reasons or at least people are doing it for some ideological reasons or at least this indicated ideological reasons or at least this indicated to ideological reasons or at least this indicated to us ideological reasons or at least this indicated to us that ideological reasons or at least this indicated to us that the indicated to us that the pathological indicated to us that the pathological hatred indicated to us that the l pathological hatred they indicated to us that the pathological hatred they have for schools. Pathological hatred they have for schools, partially pathological hatred they have for schools, partially because pathological hatred they have for schools, partially because they l pathological hatred they have for. Schools, partially because they did not have schools, partially because they did not have an schools, partially because they did not have an opportunity schools, partially because they did not have an opportunity of schools, partially because they didj not have an opportunity of sending any. As you can see, it is hard to describe what is happening. A journalist wrote in the spectator. And certainly what they are doing is lucrative, something that matters whether you are in a Table Group or a local Terror Group or local group. The. This analysis from the Washington Post syncs with that point. It says. And it says. There is another story playing out too. And this ever evolving threat and its multifaceted routes and associative nature make it very difficult to respond to. Back in february, the president urged gOvernors to stop paying criminals. He said. He went on. And we know that Security Initiatives have started around nigerian schools, Increase Police checks close to schools, better fences around schools, even communities bringing in their own vigilantes, but evidently at the moment, it is not enough. We have not put mechanisms in place to actually protect the victims, protect The Schools and, yes, youre going to say, we are narco to negotiate for so in essence, what youre telling those parents is your children arent going to have to be scapegoats. The a Nswer Answer is wanting to stop people from kidnapping children in the first place, and that is easier said than done in nigeria right now, as he lives lost and the lives changed continue and they show no sign of stopping. Translation went i heard about the abductions at translation went i heard about the abductions at the translation went i heard about the abductions at The School, translation went i heard about the abductions at The School, i translation went i heard about the abductions at The School, i could abductions at The School, i could not sleep at night. I do not want the children to go through and i went through. Even now, i still get scared when i hear gunshots stop you saw the Bbc Mayemi Jone at The End of that.

Not one that has been committed to very clearly, although since this latest round of kidnappings, the president has made a comment, he is describe the Mass Kidnappings of students as despicable, disturbing and cowardly, and he is also called on Intelligence Agencies to ensure the safe and early release of those taken. Still, these words ring hollow for many nigerians who feel that the central gOvernment, the federal gOvernment, has done very little to tackle this crisis and that it has been allowed to go on for far too Long. That it has been allowed to go on forfar too Long. Bud that it has been allowed to go on for far too Long. That it has been allowed to go on for far too Long.

Yeah, it is quite difficult because i be islamist militants . Yeah, it is quite difficult because i think quite difficult because i think were most people think of kidnappings of students in nigeria, they obviously remember the chibok girls. They made global headlines in 2014 and there was a global campaign to ensure they release. This latest wave of kidnappings is a lot more economically motivated, but as you explained there, the chibok girls did serve as an inspiration. A large ransom was reported he paid for the girls who were released, and in 2018 we saw 100 schoolgirls taken in northeastern nigeria. That was carried out by boko haram, and again there were rumours of ransoms being paid for stub this latest wave of attacks served to happening late last year in december, it seemed the criminals had seen those first two Mass Kidnappings of students, particular girls, how emotive it was, how much pressure is applied on the gOvernment, and decided they wanted to make money quick. This may be a tactic they want to adopt. Im be a tactic they want to adopt. Im interested. Be a tactic they want to adopt. Im interested, clearly these Mass Kidnapping is a good enough a lot of cOverage around the world. Here i am sitting in london talking about it, and you dont have to look far to see cOverage of it in other countries too. Is it a major story in nigeria . Is it dominating the news there .

Of most nigerian papers on most days, and i think the sheer Scale And Volume of insecurity in nigeria can often make people here feel quite immune to it not immune but maybe a little bit isaiah about it, simply because there is just such a volume of incidents that in other countries would immediately make headlines a little blase about it. Perhaps here it is not at the forefront of peoples mines, but kidnapping is something that affects absolutely everybody. Even if it is not a Mass Kidnapping of a school, you could be taken driving a car to another town, you could be taken at any point, even from your home, and so many nigerians are secured concerned about it are concerned about it. To see them take it with such frequency and no real action taken to stop, to stem the flow of kidnappings, i think is very discretion distressing very distressing for many nigerians. Distressing very distressing for many nigerians. Distressing very distressing for many nigerians. Mayemi, thank you very much we started the programme in kabul, then legos. Ash make then lagos. Now miami. Theres a major storm approaching, but work continues at the site of the collapsed apartment block. These are the latest pictures we have. 32 people are confirmed to have died and Over 100 remain missing. And you can see the Search And Rescue teams are battling high winds. Thats because tropical Storm Elsa is now approaching florida. The mayor of Miami Dade County has given this update. We continue to urge all of the families who are missing Loved Ones to please Reach Out and connect with us so that our detectives can file Missing Persons reports with the police and we want to confirm every single account.

That is David Leifer in washington, dc. Live for us. Let me show you some pictures coming in from wembley in northwest london, because it is beginning ready to host the first of the Two Euros semifinals, as you are no doubt aware, there is a big Game tomorrow, england against denmark, but first of all it began in its own right, spin against italy. They are going to be kicking off in, where are we, 35 minutes. I think it is fair to state italy are going to be the slight favourites. Spain have dominated World Football for a Long while, but not so much in the last three, four years, and italy of coming to the tournaments showing some incredible form, with Roberto Mancini their manager very much saying he is notjust looking to put down a marker of this term it but he wants to go on and win the World Cup as well. At first things first, he has had to get through this Game with spain. It ticks off, as i say, in Afton Hours time, and if you want to follow that online, you can do that through the Bbc Sport website. You can get that at. Or downloaded onto your phone. And i will see you in a couple of minutes time. Well, i think the weathers going to be a little bit better tomorrow. Certainly quite a few showers around today, and earlier on some really quite heavy rain with strong winds in southern areas of the uk. Tomorrow, well see more Blue Sky. But at the moment, were still in the wake of this low pressure which swept across the country earlier on. You can see a Big Dip in the Jet Stream here. And within this dip, weve got that showery weather thats in place right now. So through the course of this evening and Overnight, still scattered showers across the country. You can see the low pressure centred just to the east of scotland there, so for a time, in some areas here, there will be more persistent rain. But plenty of clear spells in places, too. Temperatures of around 14 in liverpool. Well match that in cardiff as well, so its not a cold night. And then tomorrow, the low pressures actually quite slow moving. That means that its not taking its weather with it. There is high pressure trying to build here from the south, but were still really under the influence of that low. I know its quite far away, its closer to norway than it is to us, but its still Overall driving the Weather Pattern across the uk. So scattered showers, but Blue Sky in between too. The winds are going to be lighter. All of that combined means that the temperatures will be around 21 in london, 21 in glasgow. It is going to feel a little bit warmer. Still a shower chance, though, i think, in wimbledon, and the same goes for the football. The following day might actually be a little bit drier. In fact, thursday right across the country is looking better. Were still expecting showers dotted around almost anywhere, but i think plenty of sunny spells as well. The winds will be relatively light, so temperatures again getting into the low 20s across many southern and central areas of the uk. Now, through the weekend, friday into saturday, well see i think a little Weather Front moving across the south of the country, so that means we are expecting perhaps a few spits and spots of rain. Before that happens, you can see showers building across some parts of the uk on friday. But again, plenty of sunny spells in between, temperatures in the sunshine getting to around 20 or 23 celsius. So heres the outlook for the next few days. A little bit disappointing as far as the temperatures go maybe only around 17 in aberdeen, but in the south, no higher than 22. Bye bye. Hello, im ros atkins, this is outside source. The us military is saying its out from afghanistan is more than 90 complete. Thats more than two months earlier than we were expecting.

The new Health Secretary says and then now entering uncharted territory as it moves to lift all legal restrictions for covid 19. Here he is speaking to the bbc. Trio here he is speaking to the bbc. No one here he is speaking to the bbc. Th . One is pretending the pandemic is gone. The pandemic is still very much there. We estimate pandemic, Case Numbers are high and they are going to get higher. So one of the things i said yesterday currently we are seeing case around 25,000 today and i suspect they will be as high as 50,000 a day by the time this evening happens. The difference is it is working and the link between cases and hospitalisation is severely weakened. The decision to lift restrictions comes at a time when cases are rising sharply in england because of the Delta Variant. That could lead to as many as 100,000 new infections a day this summer. The difference now though is we vaccines are proving effective at reducing seriosu illness. The latest weekly figures show those jabs driving excess deaths shown here in Red Back to the level wed expect in a normal year without covid. And the scientist whose Advice Led to the first lockdown expects Hospital Admissions and deaths to stay far lower than early in the pandemic. This is an experiment at the moment. I think it is justifiable and i am optimistic that the policy will have to remain flexible. If we end up in something close to the worst Case Scenario we and other groups are looking at which i think its unlikely but cannot be ruled out and yes, there may be some kind of Course Correction later. Others are worried that legal restrictions are being lifted too quickly. The Opposition Labour Party says it wants to open up the economy but the wearing of masks in shops and on Public Transport should continue. Heres the shadow Health Secretary. We Wa Nt we want people to have their freedoms back. But we do not want a high risk free for all. Rememberthe high risk free for all. Remember the context high risk free for all. Rememberthe context that we are in. Infection rates sadly are rising again steeply. Hospitalisations are rising again. More people will die. But lets be clear no country in the world has attempted to lift restrictions in the middle of a new surge, as england plans to. So lets compare whats happening in the uk with elsewhere. In the uk, 63 of people in the uk are fully vaccinated but more than 27,000 cases were reported on monday. France fears a fourth wave of the virus, because of delta its accounting for around a third all new infections at the moment. And its delayed the lifting of some of its restrictions because of a new surge. In the us, Anthony Fauci has warned there will soon be surges in cases of the Delta Variant in areas where Vaccination Rates are low. Almost 60 of americans are fully vaccinated, but the rate varies sharply by region. And some areas like La County have gone back to recommending that vaccinated people wear masks. And in asia, many countries are battling a surge related to delta. Indonesia imposed a partial lockdown on saturday, reporting almost 30,000 cases in one day on monday. Heres the bbc� s Naomi Grimley On why the strategy in england is out of sync with how some others countries. There is no no doubt it is a massive gamble, because if you think about it hitherto, when youve had rising infections, youve had more restrictions put on a population like the uk, not have them taken away. So thats where the gamble is. I guess what the gOvernment is thinking is that if there is going to be whats termed an exit wave, as the Population Releases and as vaccines do theirjob, then its better to have that in summer rather than delay it to september, when kids go back to school and when the weather starts turning and people huddle indoors again, so thats really the gamble. The problem is, if infections keep rising, what if the wall of immunity 64 of the Adult Population in the uk has been double jabbed. The Overnment'>Uk GOvernment announced restrictions on The School will come to an end. Up to now children have been put into bubbles. When one tests positive the others must isolate. Its caused a lot of disruption. Over the past week more than 640,000 children missed school because of this. Only 10 actually tested positive. As of the 19th July they will remove these bubbles and children will only have to isolate if they test positive. There will no Longer be a requirement to wear a mask. And social distancing will no Longer be necessary. Professor Adam Finn is a specialist in Childrens Health and a member of the uks vaccination board. He explains his view on these new restrictions. I think a great deal of the Suffering And Damage that this pandemic has inflicted has been on children whose education and social development has been massively impacted from the very start and so we really do need to prioritise our children now and ensure that their lives can go back to normal and as a paediatrician i feel thats a much more important priority than giving freedoms to adults to do the things that they like to do. But schools will have to Mass Test before the start of the new year in autumn. Heres a Head Teacher with the problems that brings. The problem for us is that to establish Testing Stations we need to develop significant area of of a school which impacts our Teaching And Learning for our school and it would be for Sports Hall once again and that impacts on activities retaining have been even further impacted throughout this time and the concerns about students not getting physical exercise that needs to be a priority for us when students return to school. We would also potentially struggle to recruit the same body of volunteers to be enjoyed from the local community because of course we now that many people have gone back to work and the work for community has increased against the people may not have the capacity to devote the time they so generously gave the last time when we had to attest that on our community.

Changes to the covid 19 willis are under review. With wheels due to announce their national plans shortly. In Northern Ireland secondary pupils will continue to be offered lateral flow tests. The gOvernment hopes in september, schools in england will return to normality as we learn to live with covid 19. But the dilemma of Keeping Schools safe while minimising disruption means there are no easy answers. Now, lets take a look at how this compares internationally in the netherlands. Pupils dont need to socially distance from each other and whole classes can attend in person lessons at the same time. But pupils must stay 1. 5 metres away from staff. In the us the cdc recommend social distancing, mask wearing and quarantining for close contacts of positive cases. Except when double vaccinated in italy schools are now on their summer break, but when they return in september its expected the rules will include masks for all Over 6, quarantine for classes with positive cases and staggered Entrance And Exit times. To india now where an alarming number of doctors have found themselves the targets of attacks by Family Members of patients who say their loved Ones Haven T received sufficient medical care. The Indian Medical Association is now calling for a new law to protect healthcare workers. Divya arya has more from delhi, and a warning that her report contains disturbing scenes at the very start. They used whatever they could lay their hands on. A metal bedpan, a Stick Orjust theirfists. Shocked by the death of their loved one from covid 19, these relatives took out their anger on doctors. On just his second day of work after graduating from medical school. One month later, the memory of the attack was still fresh. I was very scared and it felt like i would not survive the attack. They were hitting my head, my nose was constantly bleeding. I begged them to stop but they didnt. 36 people have now been charged. A shocking case but not by a Long way indias first during the pandemic. In some cases, doctors have taken to the streets complaining about the ongoing attacks that have occured throughout the pandemic. They started throwing items. Nobody was arrested Over the attack which has left the doctor suffering flashbacks. And at the peak of the second wave of infection, angry relatives damaged property at the hospital. The most common factor is the lack of infrastructure in hospitals and the scarcity of doctors. Because of these hospitals get Overcrowded and as a result, thejunior doctors often become the target of violence by relatives. Last month, doctors across India Held Demonstrations calling for legal protection for Health Care Staff saying there has been a sharp increase in attacks during the pandemic. Many indian states have laws against attacking health workers. The Indian Medical Association said its not always enforce or publicise. They believe only a new law passed by the central gOvernment can help stop the violence. India has very few doctors for its billion plus people and struggling to keep them safe.

The Home Secretary says she aims to repair a broken assignment 15 and campaigners are condemning the plans as pained shameful. Until the pandemic struck last year, the number of people claiming asylum in the uk had doubled since 2010. If you look back Over the last two decades, the number of applicants was still less than half what it was 20 years ago. And the figure, including dependents, is significantly lower than the numbers in germany, france, spain and greece. The pandemic also triggered a change in how people try to get to britain. The number crossing the channel in small boats rose sharply. It was 8,500 last year. Its heading for an even greater number this year. The Home Secretary, priti patel, says she wants to create a fair but firm system that will break the Business Model of the people smuggling gangs. The nationality and Borders-bill'>Borders Bill will allow the Overnment'>Uk GOvernment to return people to a safe country if theyve passed through it on the way to britain. Campaigners say this will result in thousands of valid claims being deemed inadmissible, and call it a shameful dereliction of duty. The bill will also allow asylum claims to be processed outside the uk, potentially paving the way for contrOversial offshore centres for processing applications. Daniel sandford, bbc news.

It went the extra time but its a very exciting italian team and they are toward something special and it has been a special run and just as the Spanish Team has got a fresh look as well i think what we are looking at is where the two next Generations Matchup and which are possibly going to be the next dominant force in World Football. The first time these two teams have met at Year Round Knockout matches. I was at the finer mtf when spain absolutely tory it to be and we are talking about the tactics that he and played that night. They have been very successful for other managers as well down the years. Those are the two themes with plenty of momentum going into their Game.

They Games have such an emotionaljourney after their Star Player collapsed with Cardiac Arrest on the ph in the first Game but as he recOvers at home they have gone out and played every match for him. And its an incredible Fairy Tale for denmark to get this far. They will be incredibly motivated but england are the favourites for these 20 minutes. Is that just according the favourites for these 20 minutes. Is thatjust according to british bookmakers are all bookmakers i wonder . A wonder . Across the board. Possibly lookin at wonder .

The Way England are playing its the clean sheets, notjust are playing its the clean sheets, not just the attacking are playing its the clean sheets, notjust the attacking talents and the fact that harry got into the goals and scored three and Raheem Sterling as well but its a solid base that has served them so well.

Well, i think the weathers going to be a little bit better tomorrow. Certainly quite a few showers around today, and earlier on some really quite heavy rain with strong winds in southern areas of the uk. Tomorrow, well see more Blue Sky. But at the moment, were still in the wake of this low pressure which swept across the country earlier on. You can see a Big Dip in the Jet Stream here. And within this dip, weve got that showery weather thats in place Over us right now. So through the course of this evening and Overnight, still scattered showers across the country. You can see the low pressure centred just to the east of scotland there, so for a time, in some areas here, there will be more persistent rain. But plenty of clear spells in places, too. Temperatures of around 14 in liverpool. Well match that in cardiff as well, so its not a cold night. And then tomorrow, the low pressures actually quite slow moving. That means that its not taking its weather with it. There is high pressure trying to build here from the south, but were still really under the influence of that low. I know its quite far away, its closer to norway than it is to us, but its still Overall driving the Weather Pattern across the uk. So scattered showers, but Blue Sky in between too. The winds are going to be lighter. All of that combined means that the temperatures will be around 21 in london, 21 in glasgow. It is going to feel a little bit warmer. Still a shower chance, though, i think, in wimbledon, and the same goes for the football. The following day might actually be a little bit drier. In fact, thursday right across the country is looking better. Were still expecting showers dotted around almost anywhere, but i think plenty of sunny spells as well. The winds will be relatively light, so temperatures again getting into the low 20s across many southern and central areas of the uk. Now, through the weekend, friday into saturday, well see i think a little Weather Front moving across the south of the country, so that means we are expecting perhaps a few spits and spots of rain. But before that happens, you can see showers building across some parts of the uk on friday. But again, plenty of sunny spells in between, temperatures in the sunshine getting to around 20 or 23 celsius. So heres the outlook for the next few days. A little bit disappointing as far as the temperatures go maybe only around 17 in aberdeen, but in the south, no higher than 22. Bye bye. Hello, good evening. This is bbc news. Our headlines.
