I am sad in many ways but i think, really, denmark has been through an emotiOnal and heroic journey through this cop and i think that it was good Today And England was, in many ways, lucky to win. There was an own goal and a Penalty Kick and so the result could have been different but when it comes down to the bottom line, i think england had the better part of the game in their hands and deserved to win.

From that awful thing that happened and deserved to win. From that awful thing that happened to i awful thing that happened to On'>Christian EricksOn in the first match it felt that there very much momentum behind the danish team in the whole tournament. I think it has something to do with coaching because the team could have fallen apart if they did not have a good leader, and team behind them and, especially the natiOnal coach was able to bring the team up to an extraordinarily high level and get them to a semi Final. The . Get them to a semiFinal. They are a good get them to a semiFinal. They are a good mix get them to a semiFinal. They are a good mix of get them to a semiFinal.

Still recovering from the devastating earthquake of 2010 and the hurricane that struck six years later, parts of the country remain inaccessible, besieged by territorial battles between heavily armed gangs, violence that has forced more than 13,000 to flee there homes. Yet the police have been largely invisible, the government silent. Now the calls for the internatiOnal community to act are getting louder.

His term was supposed to have ended this year but because he assumed, he claimed that he did not take power into One year after, his mandate would not end until next year when presumably there would be no electiOns.

Both and its jurisdictiOn. Both china and itsjurisdictiOn. Both china and the philippines claim sovereignty over the large coral reef. While vietnamese claim it is their traditiOnal fishing grounds. The maritime territory is closest to the philippine coast, but since 2012, and it despite the tribunal ruling, there has been cOnstant chinese coastguard presents. Filipino fishermen report harassment by authorities. China justifies its claims in the South China Sea based On its cOntroversial 9 dash line map, first published after World War ii.

Were On a Fishing Boat heading towards occupied maritime territory in the South China Sea. We want to verify reports that chinese boats are unlawfully blockading a traditiOnal filipino fishing ground, just 120 nautical miles from its coast. We sail with trepidatiOn. This year, china has been Swarming Reefs and rocks in philippine waters with hundreds of its boats, many from its maritime militia. In this recent promotiOnal video, the militia are seen firing automatic weapOns and ramming what appears to be a small Fishing Boat during training exercises. We arrive at Scarborough Shoal the following morning. Notice how waves from the deep blue Ocean Break On a lighter, Turquoise Body of water thats the limestOne reef you can see in the satellite image. Easier to spot is the chinese coastguard presence. So, theres a chinese Coast Guard Vessel thats watching us at the moment, its dOne three sweeps first of all, 200 metres away, then 100 metres away, and now 50 metres away. Its watching our every move. The boat leaves without incident but our captain knows the lagoOn is off limits. TranslatiOn we are the bandits in our own territory. Why is that so . We steal our own territory . We steal our own fish . Thats because we dOnt have our own coastguard there. 0n the last day at Scarborough Shoal, We Venture into the blockaded eastern entrance. But after ten minutes, we notice a boat moving On the horizOn towards us. Its coming here . Ok, lets go. Its a maritime militia boat. By cross referencing our footage with satellite data, it appears that the vessel that sailed towards us is called Ong-sa-nsha'>CheOng Sa Nsha yu00311.

Goodness knows what everyOne, including me, will do if we actually win On sunday. That is it from us. Goodbye. Well, quite a lot of pent up energy in the atmosphere On'>Wednesday AfternoOn and evening. We had some thunderstorms, some really quite heavy downpours. You can see the showers that was earlier in the last 10 12 hours or so. And then, towards the end of the day On wednesday, we saw those thunderstorms across some central and eastern areas, and the weather remains quite unsettled over the next few days. I say unsettled for a summer mOnth. A fair bit of cloud out there across the atlantic heading our way, and well see further showers developing over the next few days with low pressure in charge of the weather. So, i think a showery day On the way for some of us On thursday, but actually, the showers will be very well scattered, so that does mean that many of us will miss them altogether. So, the forecast through the early hours shows a lot of dry weather across the uk. Temperatures will be around 14 celsius or so across the south of the country, just a tad fresher in the north, around 11 12. Now, the morning will become increasingly sunny right across the uk, but then Fairweather Clouds will start to develop, and as we head into the afternoOn, those Fairweather Clouds will turn into storms. And some of the downpours really will be very heavy indeed, but as i say, they will be very well scattered. Not too many of them around across much of scotland or northern ireland. Maybe across the grampians here, but the showers certainly will be scattered across many areas of england and mostly away from the coasts so places like Western Wales should end up having a pretty decent day, for example, in swansea. So, Fridays Weather Forecast shows a very weak area of High Pressure over us. That does mean, i think, fewer showers, at least early in the day, but then, come the afternoOn, we are expecting 1 2 to develop Once again. But particularly across the southwest of the country, theres actually a weak Ont'>Weather FrOnt approaching us here, so places like cornwall, maybe the Western Fringes of wales seeing some showers, and 1 2 eastern areas, as well. Now, the outlook into the weekend remains pretty showery, particularly On saturday across some southern areas of the uk. Theres a small area of low pressure heading our way, so that will bring a lot of cloud to places like plymouth or lOndOn. Sunday, also a chance of some showers, and actually, early next week my goodness, weve got a low Pressure Close to us, and thats going to cOntinue to bring further showers.
