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.

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.

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 BreakOn 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 .

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.
