way in this tournament that has seen so many of those english fans travel out here. as gareth southgate was saying his team will need to be exceptional but they do have exceptional but they do have exceptional players, has a plethora of attacking talent to call upon, all eyes will be onjude bellingham after the season he has said, one of the breakout stars in english football of late, big responsibility on his shoulders, the likes of harry kane. some question marks over selection for gareth southgate one position in the field up for grabs, and some question marks over the defence in this england side. inevitably as well the future of gareth southgate will come up for discussion, he himself before the tournament has said he may leave his position as england manager after this tournament of england do not go all the way. that is the expectation having come so close in previous tournaments, reach the final at the last european championship in the quarter—finals at the previous world cup. but he has change the culture, the mood within the england camp, there is a feelgood factor around there is a feelgood factor around the england players as we saw there in the report, reflected among the mood in the fans who have arrived here already in gelsenkirchen. it will be an exciting tournament, one of those england players believe they can gold —— go all the way in, and it all starts tonight and the business of getting past serbia. getting the three points on the board is the ultimate aim and they will be rawdon by england fans here and many more back home who

deliberately drove into a cow that was on the loose. the force says it was acting to ensure public safety, and the animal is now being treated by a vet. this report from simonjones contains images you may find upsetting. friday night, and a cow is wandering down a busy road. police say they had been trying to capture it for several hours after it had been running at members of the public. what happened next has been described by the rspca as upsetting and distressing. we've decided not to show it in full. the cow is deliberately hit at speed by a police car. the animal is knocked onto its side and, as it attempts to get up, it's hit again by the vehicle. i'm thinking, why is there a cow at the top of my road? so, as i came out, i've seen a police car come, he's rammed it and it then it's got up, carried on running again and he's rammed it again. i think it could have been handled better, i think it was quite extreme the way the police dealt with it. i think it could have been dealt with a lot more humanely. i think it was quite distressing for everyone. in a statement, chief inspector sam adcock said: i think, look, it's really difficult because that police officer at that time, their number one training priority is to protect the public around them. that poor animal was obviously really psyched up because it had been... it had managed to get out of its field, it had got lost, it was running around an urban environment, it was — you could tell from the footage that it was very stressed indeed. this is the street where the cow was rammed. it suffered a large cut to its leg and is being looked after by a vet. 0n social media, the home secretary james cleverly said: after being hit, the cow eventually gets up and runs off before being caught. surrey police say they will now refer what happened to the independent office for police conduct. simon jones, bbc news. the israeli army has announced what it called a daily "tactical pause" in military activity in part of southern gaza. the idf said the pause, to allow for more humanitarian aid to enter the strip, would take place between 8am and 7pm every day, along the road that leads from the kerem shalom crossing to the salah al—din road. promises about nhs funding in england, made by all the major parties in their manifestos, have been criticised by an independent health think tank. the nuffield trust said plans laid out by both the conservatives and labour implied the nhs would face the tightest spending period in 40 years and urged the main parties to set out more credible plans to retain existing levels of service. people living near a chemical plant in south wales were told to keep their windows and doors shut as a precaution after a chemical incident. firefighters were called after reports a white mist was seen coming from the site in barry. a plant spokesman said the incident was contained and no—one was injured. bbc presenter clive myrie said he was left "shaken" after receiving death threats, which involved talking about the kind of bullet that would be used to kill him. he spoke about the abuse during an interview with lauren laverne for radio 4's desert island discs. president zelensky has suggested that peace is achievable in ukraine at the opening of a summit looking at ways to end the war. more than 90 world leaders, including rishi sunak, are attending the swiss gathering. 0ur eastern europe correspondent sarah rainsford reports. shattering the peace of a swiss mountainside for the cause of peace in ukraine. volodymyr zelensky came to meet delegations from all over the world, coming together here to begin seeking out a path towards ending the war waged by russia. talking peace is new territory for kyiv, but now, it's seizing the initiative, hoping for a broad global alliance that can help push for a settlement on ukraine's terms. 101 states and international organisations are now at this summit and this is a tremendous success, our success, the common success of all those who believe that a united world, united nations, are stronger than any aggressor. russia wasn't at the summit because ukraine believes scenes like this show vladimir putin's not interested in peace, just destruction and domination. only this week, he called on kyiv to capitulate if it wants a ceasefire. do you think that the west has been too scared of vladimir putin to actually help ukraine defeat him? well, i'm pleased that the uk has played a leading role in providing support to ukraine, the first country to provide lethal aid, more recently, under my leadership, the first country to provide main battle tanks, long—range weapons, to train air force pilots. that demonstrates the strength of support for ukraine. ukraine's close allies will have to go on doing all that, even as they support the stirrings of a peace process that would have to involve russia too at some point. we are looking for the possibility, if thisjoint plan will be ready, it will be possible to invite a representative of russia and represent this plan. but this is very important, together with all countries, maybejust more, and it will be open dialogue. the gulf is huge. the chances of bridging it seem so remote. but far from the devastation in ukraine, perhaps there's a faint glimmer of hope. sarah rainsford, bbc news, lake lucerne. tv chef gordon ramsay says he is lucky to be alive after an accident riding his bike in the us. he warned his followers on social media always to wear a helmet after the incident in connecticut this week and he revealed his large bruise on his midriff. 0uch! i want to wish you all a very happy father's day. but, please, please, please wear a helmet. because if i did not, i would not be here now. it did look painful. a lucky escape. thousands of people lined the streets of central london for the trooping the colour parade yesterday. the princess of wales attended the event to mark the king's official birthday, her first official public appearance since she announced she was being treated for cancer. the king, who is also having cancer treatment, travelled by carriage instead of riding on horseback as he did last year. they had blue skies for the fly—past did not for the rest of it. nice clear blue skies in the capital yesterday. how is it looking for the rest of us in london in the

have a look at today's papers. and most lead with catherine, princess of wales, attending the trooping the colour parade. the sunday mirror said catherine "beamed" at the annual celebration of the king's official birthday on saturday, which was her first public appearance since her cancer diagnosis. the sunday telegraph also leads on the princess of wales, writing that on a cold, grey day, catherine "proves a tonic" at trooping the colour as she marks her return to public life following cancer treatment. as we've been reporting, the sunday times focuses on a calf which was rammed by a police car while on the loose on a residential road in surrey. the action was described by the home secretary as "unnecessarily heavy handed". and the observer looks ahead to england's opening euro match tonight against serbia with a picture of a jude bellingham smiling while training in germany. a couple of pieces that caught our attention. i am sure some people enjoy the football over a point in the local pub, but when it comes to wines in the sunday sun, english wines in the sunday sun, english wine apparently rated more highly than bottles from spain, australia and south africa. france still is a well�*s top producer, especially english sparkling wine, 60% think it is the best if you are having a glass to celebrate something. apparently it is because of climate change! southern

controversy around the ir and all about, all the action on the pitch. holders italy bounced back from conceding the quickest goal in european championship history to win their opening game of euro 2024 while spain had the most impressive victory on day two of the tournament in germany. ben croucher rounds up the action. from zagreb to berlin, croatian fans brought the energy to the german capital. sadly, their footballers left them longing for a defence. commentator: it's alvaro morata! it's1—0, spain! and even when they did get men back, fabian ruiz wiggled a way through. spain are basking in the berlin sunshine! by half—time, spain were out of sight, touched home by 32—year—old dani carvajal, created by lamine yamal, a player half his age. and that was the whole story. the three—time winners starting in style. unlike the defending champions. 0h, there's a mistake. oh, what a start! just 23 seconds it took for albania to stun italy in dortmund. within another 929 — orjust under 16 minutes to you and me — they were behind as first alessandro bastoni. and then nicolo barella reminded us that in these tournaments it's not how you start, but how you finish. elsewhere, scotland's next opponents laid down an ominous marker. looking for the room to have a hit. 0h! ahead of their meeting with the scots on wednesday, switzerland beat hungary 3—1, and the celebrations may well have been felt back in bern. ben croucher, bbc news. now, tributes have been paid to the former arsenal and everton striker kevin campbell who's died at the age of 54 after a short illness. he'd been in hospital since last month. campbell spent six years with everton, having started his career at arsenal. he scored 148 goals across spells with eight clubs during his career. arsenal paid tribute, saying: whilst everton said: now, at long last, the wait could soon be over for everton fans. the group who owns italian side roma have agreed a deal, in principle, to takeover. meanwhile, brighton and hove albion have confirmed that fabian hurzeler will be their new first—team head coach, replacing roberto de zerbi. the 31—year—old guided st pauli to promotion to the german bundesliga last month and has agreed a contract at the amex untiljune 2027. just a couple of hours ago, it looked as though scotland could be heading through to the last eight of cricket's t20 world cup at the expense of england! but it'sjos buttler�*s team who'll be heading into the knockout stage. the scots looked like they were on the way to a shock win against australia — who had already qualified — in st lucia. but the aussies eventually won by five wickets with two balls to spare. earlier, in a rain—interrupted match in antigua, england got the win they needed to keep their hopes alive. harry brook hit 47 not out, helping his side to 122/5 from their 10 overs. namibia could only make 84/3 in their run chase with england eventually winning by 41 runs. rory mcilroy is still in the hunt for his first major title in a decade. he's just three shots off the pace heading into the final round of the us open in north carolina. mcilroy managed a patient 1—under 69 with four birdies, including this at the 12th. two late bogeys, though, have made his task today more difficult. mcilroy is one of three players chasing the leader american bryson dechambeau who is 7—under par overall. he'll be back on the course just after 7:00 this evening. it tasks your chipping and parting, it obviously tasks your mental fortitude more than any other golf tournament, so, yeah, as i said at the start of the week, it is a style of golf that i have started to try and embrace over the last two years and embrace over the last two years and it is the reason why my performance at the us open have been much improved over the last half a decade. it's going to be a busy day at the nottingham 0pen today. katie boulter and emma raducanu will return to finish their semifinal with the final then being played later. former us open champion raducanu is a set up on the british number one. after a marathon tie break, she won by 15 points to 13. the eventual winner will play either karolina pliskova or diane parry of france. with wimbledon just over two weeks away, britain's jack draper is into his first atp tour final on grass after breezing past unseeded american brandon nakashima in straight sets at the stuttgart 0pen. the 22—year—old sixth seed hit 13 aces in a 6—3, 6—3 victory. draper will meet former wimbledon finalist matteo berrettini in the decider today and

break at thomond park and extended that advantage thanks to this stunning try that was eventually finished by sebastian cancelliere. the warriors will meet the bulls in pretoria in the urc final next weekend after the south african side's semifinal victory over leinster. in super league, leeds rhinos played their first match since the passing of rob burrow as they faced hull fc. a minute's applause took place before kick—off at the mkm stadium with rob's father geoff in attendance and visibly moved at the tribute to his son. both team captains carried wreaths out ahead of the match before placing them at the side of the pitch. burrow was an eight—time grand final winnerfor the rhinos before helping lead the fight against motor neurone disease following his diagnosis in late 2019. 0n the pitch, hull won for just the second time this season, this try from brad scott helping them to an 18—10 victory. the win ended a run of 11 successive defeats in league and cup for the black and whites. elsewhere, leigh leopards boosted their play—off hopes with a 10—2 victory over catalan dragons in perpignan. tom amone's first—half try enough to separate the two sides. in boxing, chris billam—smith has defended his wbo cruiserweight world title against richard riakporhe at selhurst park. the two went the distance in london with billam—smith eventually coming out on top via

7,000 islands set in shimmering seas with some of the best beaches and marine life in the world. it's home to over 45 million people and a mix of cultures, music and natural wonders. but this oceanic environment is as fragile as it is beautiful and the caribbean's relationship with its seas and ecosystems are changing rapidly. i'm reece parkinson. as someone who has caribbean ancestry, this place has almost mythical status, even though i've never been here before. we're swimming with sharks! i'm kicking off my adventure in the dominican republic... oh, i'm excited! ..where i discover how islanders are carving out a new relationship with the sea. really, what i want is for the community to get in touch with the ocean because that's the only way we're going to take care of the ocean. and... esperate, capi! shouting. ..i come face—to—face with one of the giants of this unique marine environment. there's a whale! yeah. 0h, whoa! i'm starting myjourney on the island of hispaniola, shared by haiti and the dominican republic. this is my first time ever in the caribbean. i'm in the dominican republic, in the capital city santo domingo, and it actually feels quite european. in fact, this is the oldest cathedral in all of the americas, and it was built nearly 500 years ago. the cathedral of santa maria la menor — and much of the architecture here — is the legacy of the spanish, who arrived here by sea in the late 15th century, spearheaded by christopher columbus on his maiden voyage to the region. spain became the first european colonisers in the americas whilst also decimating the indigenous taino population. centuries later, the spanish legacy is still very strong. and when it comes to music, on this island, you won't hear much reggae. instead, it's the more latin feel of merengue and bachata. hey, reece! i'm meeting the country's king of bachata, martires de leon. so, bachata actually originates from the dominican republic? plays slow, melancholic tune. plays fast, staccato arpeggios. # bailalo, bailalo, reece. # bailalo, gozalo, reece... as well as its spanish roots, it's thought that bachata is fused from influences from the enslaved africans who were brought here and the indigenous taino people who were displaced during colonisation. # bailalo, reece. # bailalo, bailalo, reece... its infectious melodies soon attract passers by. # bailalo, bailalo, en bachata. # bailalo, bailalo, esta bachata. # bailalo y gozala, esta bachata... # mira montilla, como esta? # y reece! yeah, ithink, especially back home in the uk, whenever you think of the caribbean, it's barbados, jamaica, saint kitts. # ..con la bachata. applause. wow! even myself, i'm mixed race — jamaican father, british mother and coming here has opened my eyes up to the spanish culture and the latin influences. but what draws most people to the caribbean are the incredible beaches and extraordinary marine life. the dominican republic boasts over 1,000km of coastline, attracting some 10 million visitors in 2023 — that's more than any other caribbean destination. i'm heading north to cabarete, a seaside town that's become world—famous. i'm told a few decades ago, cabarete wasjust a small fishing village. but in recent years, it has completely transformed, and that's because this part of the coastline is in the right spot to capture the strong currents from the north in the winter and the constant trade winds from the east. this creates the perfect wave and now attracts surfers from across the world. you can find every type of water sport here, from windsurfing to paddleboarding. and right now, cabarete is hosting its annual global event, master of the ocean, and i'm meeting the current champion, brian talma. brian! it's de action man. de action man! how you doing, man? yes, brother. respect, respect. 0h, dude, respect. so, you're going for back—to—back titles this year? well, i'm going to try, you know? this event is amazing because we do all the sports and all the sports i love — windsurf, kitesurf, foil and everything. originally from barbados, brian arrived here in the �*80s, becoming one of the pioneers of water sports. back then, there were literally only a handful of people taking part. this is essentially, like, your life. this is what you do every day. from when i was, like, eight, nine, that's all i did — surf in barbados. i surfed every day. and then it went from surfing to the other sports. but the thing about it, it's pretty easy and the sensation is amazing. and the good thing is, i'm going to get you part of the action. pre—warning — i've never surfed in my life, so this is — this is going to be pretty bad, i'm just telling you now. you know what it's like? it's just like getting up, waking up, standing up. look where you're going and go for it. all right, come on, then. let's go, action. now, what you're going to do is once you're up, you're going to bend the knees. make sense? yeah. it's always interesting when you try something new for the first time. definitely one of those moments when you are outside your comfort zone. it's a lot more tiring than i thought it was going to be. after the first, like, three, suddenly you get crashed into the water and then you're like... exhales sharply. .."here we go again." and then, you get back up. brian's like, "come back, reece! "come back!" and you're like... exhales sharply. hhok!" i couldn't have asked for a better teacher. i am a surfer. i'm a surfer! you got up, you rode a few waves — success! action! brother, thank you, dude. action! whilst adrenaline—fuelled water sports are a key part of the championships, there's a wider aim — to engage the local community. lively drumming. caribbean culture, for those that live in the region, hasn't always been based around beach time — most leisure activities are targeted towards visitors. as tourists, we come over and we're like, "of course, we're going to try and surf. "of course, we're going to swim." you know, that's different. that's not the case for a lot of the locals. ..para poder asistir a cualquier persona en la playa. but organisers want to change that by launching initiatives that teach dominicans water skills. i'm meeting the team coordinating the event, patricia hiraldo and marcus bohm. so, has the event brought more of the community into water sports? definitely. i think the event really awakens the mind of the children and the youth because, of course, they're looking to compete and they're looking to shine. we realised that eight out of ten children don't know how to swim and we're an island surrounded by water on three sides and it's an economy thriving on water sports. and we have a theory — if your parents don't know how to swim, there's not a culture of swimming. so, you cannot change the adults�* mind but you can change the children's mind. they are training since a few years on swimming. really, what i want is for the community to get in touch with the ocean because that's the only way we're going to take care of the ocean. ok, esta bien. beyond enjoying the water, patricia and marcus hope to empower the next generation to improve safety. what we want to do is create a situation and that we have a culture of lifeguarding, which we don't have, like in australia or florida or hawaii. we usually bring trainers from the usa or canada. so, we trained over 70 lifeguards and we trained over 20 lifeguard instructors, but our dream is to create a situation where we go island—wide. un aplauso! applause. applause amazing day here at cabarete, and i have always been obsessed with the sea. but what's really great is that now the locals are connecting with the oceans in ways that they haven't really done before. and considering that over half the population are under 30, i can only imagine the positive impact that it's going to have on future generations. next, i'm heading some 200km along the coast to samana peninsula, a thin strip of land poking out of the northeast of the island. and something else that stands out here is a distinctive wooden church and a little—known history dating back two centuries. hey, how are you? wilfredo. wilfredo, how are you? reece. good to meet you. the pastor. hi, great to meet you! will kelly, pastorjerlin feliz diaz and the congregation at st peter's church are descendants of african american former slaves. having won their freedom, they opted to emigrate here from the united states at a time when haiti briefly controlled the whole island of hispaniola. when the dominican republic regained the country, much of the african american population remained. hi! norma. reece. good to meet you. this church has quite the cultural mix. yes, that's right. my family, they came from philadelphia — exactly — straight from philadelphia to samana 1824. around 300 people made that first journey by sea from the northeastern states, enticed by the offer of free land and a chance of a new life. haiti's mission was to consolidate their power by boosting its population. the haitian president talked with the united states president — "oh, i need some people, like carpenter and bakery. "they build boat, fishing, agriculture." and my family, they felt happy when they tried to make deal with them. they say, "no, no, no — let me try, let me try. "let me go." because they don't feel so free. so, clearly, there wasn't enough opportunity in america for them to feel like they were going to really progress, so when they heard about this in philadelphia and the first few hundred came over, not knowing the island, not knowing anyone here, i found that so profound that they were willing to take that huge life risk. despite living on a spanish—speaking island, this enclave fiercely clung onto their heritage, with some services held in english and the hymns they brought over centuries ago still ringing out. # give me that old—time religion # give me that old—time religion # it's good enough for me # it was good for my dear mother # it was good for my dear mother... i didn't expect to hear gospel in the dominican republic, and the lengths that they have clearly gone through to pass it down, generation by generation, the history that they have, they have so much pride in making sure that that part of their history and culture is still represented. and, i mean, what a way to represent it than a church that's 200 years old? but the community who built st peter's were relative newcomers compared to some other locals who've been coming here for some 50,000 years. as you can see, there is the atlantic ocean, and these are some of the most important waters for sea mammals breeding in the whole world. the waters around samana bay are the most popular place for whale watching in the caribbean. from january to march — whale season — tourists arrive in their droves. it's also where scientists can study the animals' behaviours. hey—hey! i'm meeting a team led by rita sellares and marvin del cid from the dominican foundation for marine studies. their work informs the country's marine policies. so, today, we are going to see the humpback whales and do some monitoring, so it's going to be an exciting day. every year, thousands of humpback whales swim epic distances on their annual migration. part of our role during the season is come and collect some of the data of the behaviour and the number of whales and the tails of the whales. so, rainer is part of our team of technicians. it's his first time seeing the whales. ah, first time? we're together on this. afterfeeding in the north atlantic over summer, come winter, the humpbacks embark on a six—week commute south to the warmer waters of samana for breeding. so, i will try to fly the drone over the whales and try to take pictures and film some kind of behaviour, the behaviour of the whales. see what they're doing. the relationship of the mother with the calf or whatever. i thought whale watching would be relaxing. esperate, capi! shouting i wasn't expecting quite such a bumpy ride. so, rita, you told me before i got on here to take a pill for seasickness, right? which i didn't. yes! am i an idiot? laughs maybe. it's super relaxing and calm! you've just got to ride the wave. don't try and resist the wave. it's all about being — being calm and don't panic! the vast majority of north atlantic humpbacks are born in these waters and it doesn't take long for my first sighting. yeah, yeah! hey, hey! music swells oh, yeah! laughs excitedly i saw that! i saw it! rainer, mira la ballena! some measure up to 60ft long — almost the size of two school buses — and can weigh a whopping 30 tonnes. we are seeing with the images of the drone that probably that is a female because we have the males kind of fighting, hitting each other, and it's part of the reproductive behaviour. then the female is going to choose one of the males, and then, after the copulation here, she's going to travel back to the us or the north coast, will feed and then coming back next year to have the baby here in the bay. so, that's why we say that the whales are dominican because they are born here. here. the females go through almost a year—long pregnancy before giving birth. ok, let's see. as for me, the choppy seas are starting to have an effect. oh, man... actually, i'm feeling pretty sick. but it seems rita has a plan b. screams laughter laughs are you feeling better? rita! what?! laughs i'm so sorry! i'm feeling so much better now, rita! thank you! muchas gracias! 0h, 0k, right. yeah. i'm back. yeah. i'm back! while the conditions here proved a little rough for me, the bay�*s deep waters are perfect for humpbacks. in 1986, strict guidelines were put in to protect the area, and samana became one of the first sanctuaries of its kind in the world. humpback whales command deep admiration here. but there's another animal found in these waters that's perhaps been less well loved or understood until recently — the manatee. these enigmatic creatures are typically around 10—feet long and weigh about a ton. studies into their behaviour forms the bigger part of rita and marvin's work. hola! and once i've got over my seasickness, i'm back to hear about their research. we started monitoring manatees in 2006 in bayahibe. we were really worried about the number of manatees left in the country because we started to see that we had a lot of strandings of animals — like, an average between six and ten per year — that animals that were dying in the beach. just like the whales, there used to be thousands of manatees around these shores, but numbers are dangerously dwindling due to fishing, hunting and shipping accidents. we only have left around 100 of animals. 1007! yeah. marvin is going to fly the drone and try to find the manatees. so, once he sees the manatees, we are going to register the time, the height and the data of identification of each manatee. so, rainer is a drone assistant. so, let's go, rainer. yes, let's go, rainer. uno... ah! barks from above, the manatees are not as easy to spot as the whales were. he has a really good eye and he has a really good eye, too. your eyes? mine, they are ok. laughs hay otro manati! hay otro al lado. we have two manatees. three, three, three! three? three manatees, yes. this is a baby manatee. this is important that we found babies because, you know, they are reproducing. and you can see now the calf and the mum. you can see that they can be apart from each other — not too much. but when it's a new baby, it stays all the time with the mum. and now, it can get a little bit far, yeah. oh, you can see his face! yeah. here, there is a population of ten animals, more or less — 10 to 11 animals. i think it's an amazing animal. it's really calm, it's never aggressive, so i really like them. so, we want to check the temperature and the water conditions, just to see that everything is ok for the animals. one area where the team have seen some real progress is with public perception. so, now, there is a huge awareness in the country, thanks tojuanita. there is a huge story behind juanita. this is juanita. wow! uh—huh. and you can see the tag. juanita was a manatee rescued after an attack from a fisherman. her plight, along with two other rescues, pepe and lupita, really sparked the imagination of dominicans. she was rehabilitated at the national aquarium and then reintroduced into the wild in 2020. is this you? yeah, that's me, that's me. and it's really nice, because — so, i saw her when she was born in bayahibe, so, for me, this was a happy moment to see her after eight years, free into the ocean and doing what she likes and seeing that she was really well adapted. it's inspiring to see how people like rita are gradually transforming public awareness here. the aim is that more dominicans will start to develop closer relationships with the sea and the unique marine life that surrounds them. so, i think that people's mind has changed a lot. people is more connected to the sea. it's not only manatees — so, it's the marine ecosystems and it's something that we need to save and protect. good morning. welcome to breakfast with nina warhurst and ben bulos. our headlines today: fans sing raucously. the euros are about to kick off for england's players and fans with expectations high. when you know you know. you know! and that's why we got on the plane. we know we're going to win it. we know it's going to happen. the moment of truth comes at eight tonight, just down the road from here in gelsenkirchen. the message from gareth southgate: enjoy the football. anger after a police car is driven into a runaway cow. the home secretary demands an urgent explanation. the israeli army announces a pause in military activity in parts of southern gaza to allow more aid into the territory. drama in the cricket: scotland are out of the t20 world cup, but england are through after they they beat namibia and the poor weather in antigua to make it through to the super 8s. a mixed day weatherwise, cloud and outbreaks in the north, showers and fewer rain than yesterday in the south. your full weather report coming up shortly. it's sunday, june 16. our main story: tens of thousands of england fans will descend on the german city of gelsenkirchen tonight to watch the three lions kick off their euros 24 campaign. gareth southgate's men, who are among the tournament favourites, will take on serbia in their opening match. john watson is in nearby essen for us. john, what's the atmosphere like this morning?

that is correct, a good morning from germany he is i are under? that is correct, a good| morning from germany he is under pressure, the players are under pressure, the players are under pressure because as so often is the case when anglin arrive at a major turn on due to begin a major tournament there is the expectation they should win it. that is the big task, the big game basing gareth self—doubt he has some selection decisions to make with who will start in midfield but we know the plethora of attacking quality he has at his disposal. it will be a hugely exciting day had four fans gathering here in eastern and nearby gelsenkirchen ahead of kick—off tonight. we will be seeing how england perform, what can they do as they prepare to face serbia as they kick of the tournament, it won't be lost on gareth southgate we have seen germany spain and the holders italy get their tournaments under way with a when stopping he will want to do that himself, his message to the fans enjoy the football, his message to the players they need to be exceptional if they are to get out of the group. fans sing raucously. excited? just a bit. england fans in bullish mood as they arrived in gelsenkirchen, some 40,000 are expected here amid high decibels and high hopes. chanting: england! we're top of the group and we're just like primed for the tournament and win it. it will be great. it's happening. it's coming home! whoa! # sweet caroline! we're definitely going to win it! i think they'll will it. i think they will win it. we've been here two days. it's been brilliant. you think england will win the euros? definitely! when you know you know. you know! that's why we got on the plane. we know we're going to win it. you know it's going to happen. but can england's players live up to that hype? the mood was certainly relaxed at training with the captain and manager staying grounded is the key. when you're trying to achieve exceptional things, you have to break it down to small chunks and the first priority is to get out of the group and work from there. in the past touraments we have done a lot of things well, we have made the country proud and we've had good tournaments but, ultimately, we're here to win it and there'll be nothing better for us and the nation itself if we do that. well, not since the world cup in 1966 have england's men won a major tournament but they'll emerge here in gelsenkirchen tonight as one of the favourites and ready for another shot at glory. commentator: grealish in! three years ago, remember, they came oh, so close. on home soil england reached the final of the last euros, now after so many near misses, they'll be thinking this year, just might be theirs. fans sing raucously andy swiss, bbc news, gelsenkirchen. those fans in full voice as they will be — those fans in full voice as they will be here later on, as harry kane was saying — will be here later on, as harry kane was saying-— will be here later on, as harry kane was saying. england have done well havin: was saying. england have done well having reached _ was saying. england have done well having reached the _ was saying. england have done well having reached the final _ was saying. england have done well having reached the final of - was saying. england have done well having reached the final of the i was saying. england have done well having reached the final of the lastl having reached the final of the last european championship, the quarter—finals at the last world cup but ultimately gareth southgate has not been able to deliver the ultimate prize, silverware on the biggest stage of all, that is the aim and believe england players have they cannot long last when a major trophy in men's football for the first time since the world cup in 1966. that is why those fans arriving here in the fans will be watching at home as well tonight believe that at long last england can get over the line. there will be pressure on gareth southgate to deliver it trophy at long last. in the lead up to this tournament he said himself he may leave his role as england manager after this european championship if he is not able to win the trophy at long last. the fa distancing themselves from those comments say they beckon fully and they would like to carry on in his role whatever the outcome at this tournament with his contract up in december. as i say those questions will centre around who will start in midfield specifically for england, some questions over their defence is well with injuries to key personnel and defence. but all that talk. and it is now time for england to deliver on the pitch. it will be tough for them against a serbian side in this match tonight it is worth pointing out has been classed as high risk, with a thousand police on the streets and some concerns there will be a small faction of serbian fans out to cause trouble later. that is not dampening the spirits of england supporters who have already arrived here and thatis who have already arrived here and that is only going to continue as we edged towards kick—off tonight. the exciting moment taking ever closer. we will hear from you later. kick—off is at 8:00 tonight and you can watch the match on bbc one or listen on bbc radio 5 live. let's find out what else is happening in the news tonight. a rather distressing story to start. it is when you see these images. the home secretary has asked for an urgent explanation from surrey police after officers deliberately drove into a cow that was on the loose. the force says it was acting to ensure public safety, and the animal is now being treated by a vet. this report from simonjones contains images you may find upsetting. friday night, and a cow is wandering down a busy road. police say they had been trying to capture it for several hours after it had been running at members of the public. what happened next has been described by the rspca as upsetting and distressing. we've decided not to show it in full. the cow is deliberately hit at speed by a police car. the animal is knocked onto its side and, as it attempts to get up, it's hit again by the vehicle. i'm thinking, why is there a cow at the top of my road? so, as i came out, i've seen a police car come, he's rammed it and then it's got up, carried on running again and he's rammed it again. i think it could have been handled better, i think it was quite extreme the way the police dealt with it. i think it could have been dealt with a lot more humanely. i think it was quite distressing for everyone. in a statement, chief inspector sam adcock said: i think, look, it's really difficult because that police officer at that time, their number one training priority is to protect the public around them. that poor animal was obviously really psyched up because it had been... it had managed to get out of its field, it had got lost, it was running around an urban environment, it was — you could tell from the footage that it was very stressed indeed. this is the street where the cow was rammed. it suffered a large cut to its leg and is being looked after by a vet. on social media, the home secretary james cleverly said: after being hit, the cow eventually gets up and runs off before being caught. surrey police say they will now refer what happened to the independent office for police conduct. simon jones, bbc news. the israeli army has announced what it called a daily "tactical pause" in military activity in part of southern gaza to allow more humanitarian aid into the strip. our correspondentjon donnison is injerusalem this morning. jon, what more can you tell us? how might it affect life in gaza? this announcement came from israeli military this morning, what they have said as they are going to allow a tactical military pause infighting between eight o'clock in the morning and seven o'clock at night each day. around the care shalom crossing from israel into gaza, and then stretching out to the alateen road which is the big coastal road running from north to south. in gaza. it comes at a time when palestinians today would celebrating the holy festival of ed, normally meeting with friends and family for meals but the un at the moment saying more than a million palestinians are facing starvation within a matter of weeks. so there is clearly a desperate need for aid, we know there are trucks backed up on the israeli side of the board and the egyptian border with gaza and the egyptian border with gaza and the aid is desperately needed, what impact it will have will wait to see. , ., ., , ., see. john with the latest from jerusalem. — see. john with the latest from jerusalem, thank _ see. john with the latest from jerusalem, thank you. - promises about nhs funding in england made by all the major parties in their manifestos have been criticised by an independent health think tank. our political correspondent hannah millerjoins us now. hannah, the nhs is a key issue in this election. what more can you tell us? it matters so much to the public. both labour and the liberal democrats today are wanting to talk about cancer treatment, talking about cancer treatment, talking about bringing down waiting times, for people who are referred for cancer treatment and setting out their plans around that. but there is a wake—up call here really, in this report. the nuffield trust saying both labour and the conservatives need to be more transparent about their plans for funding of the nhs. spending is due to go up under both the main parties, but not by as much as it has traditionally. and the nuffield trust say that means the parties could struggle to pay existing staff, let alone to start paying for the extra staff that they stay they would recruit. they say the nhs under the next parliament could have some of the tightest spending plans in nhs history, even tighter than what has been called the austerity years of 2010 — 2015. we have heard labour and the conservatives before saying the solution to every problem does not necessarily have to be about spending more money but i think what this does do today's ready highlight an issue with the whole of the election campaign in many ways. while it has been focused a lot on tack and the conservatives pushing the labour party in particular to rule out evermore different types of tax rises, there is a real issue for whoever wins this election about how to adequately fund public services to the level that people expect. hannah with that update _ the level that people expect. hannah with that update from _ the level that people expect. hannah with that update from london, i the level that people expect. hannah with that update from london, thank| with that update from london, thank you. tv chef gordon ramsay says he is lucky to be alive after an accident riding his bike in the us. he warned his followers on social media always to wear a helmet after the incident in connecticut this week and he revealed the large bruise on his midriff. i want to wish you all a very happy father's day. but, please, please, please, please wear a helmet. because if i didn't, i wouldn't be here now. that does look excruciating. and that is really _ that does look excruciating. fifuc that is really sound advice. that does look excruciating. a"uc that is really sound advice. i am sure most people do wear helmets, always good to have that reminder. it is 714. trooping the colour is one of the biggest events in the royal calendar, but one of the smallest members of the family took centre stage. prince louis stole plenty of hearts with his antics during the ceremony. the six—year—old was seen dancing during the quick march of the scots guards, and also yawning as he watched with his mother and siblings. thousands of people lined the streets to see the military parade, in honour of the king's official birthday. we saw the blue skies and then the heavens also opened as well, a classic mix. that is the story of this song so far. jt classic mix. that is the story of this song so far.— this song so far. it really is encapsulating _ this song so far. it really is encapsulating britain i this song so far. it really is encapsulating britain and l this song so far. it really isj encapsulating britain and a this song so far. it really is i encapsulating britain and a few images there. pop and pageantry in the rain. the question is will we get any sunshine this summer?

people met in a coffee shop and at that time there was no animal welfare movement, there were no animal welfare organisations, they came together, they formed the spca, didn't get the royal until later, and on till that movements sprung up around the world and there are now animal welfare organisations spread far and ride all around the world thanks to the first movement. but the scale is huge. we get a million calls every year, we rehome over 100 animals every single day. the task is still enormous, there is so much left to do, but today really is a day of celebration for our volunteers, our teams to think about what we have done and how we can tackle the challenges that are still coming. i tackle the challenges that are still comini. , , ., , ., coming. i guess the

direction and not better? it is true. the highest _ direction and not better? it 3 true. the highest rate of abandonment and also this week of the year is our busiest week for callouts and people needing our services. i think partly it is to do with covid and the pandemic and lots of people got pets in that time. you also have the cost of living, which is driving some of the neglect and abandonment sadly, but there are other challenges for animals as well, the growth of intensive farming, for example, orfor farming, for example, or for wildlife, farming, for example, orfor wildlife, the destruction of habitat can be really difficult as well. so animals really are facing more challenges today than they have done over the past 200 years, but i think what is important is that there is something everybody can do, whoever they are, whatever kind of person you are, there is something that you can do every day to make the world a better place for every kind of animal, and they can be tiny things like always picking up litter or making sure when you are buying products that you are thinking about animal welfare right through to rehoming or thinking of feeding the birds in your garden. there is anything we can do to make a difference. anything we can do to make a difference-— anything we can do to make a difference. ~ , ., ., ,, ., difference. when you talk about beini

at the moment. but you can make really good decisions as a consumer, you can look for rspca assured labels on the packets, if you are buying other kinds of products, you can look for cruelty free symbols, and those decisions can really help drive change. for example, we now have more free range eggs sold in the uk than other kinds of eggs, and that is really because people are making a decision in the shop to look for higher welfare. that is really good advice. just looking at your numbers of reports that have come in, last year 72,000 of abandonment and neglect, that is the highest number since 2020. and the highest number since 2020. and the rspca was created 200 years ago and there was need then, perhaps there was the awareness. a higher number of reports is because we are more aware and we are more likely to report an incident that looks like something is not happening in the right way? something is not happening in the riiht wa ? , , ., something is not happening in

causes we are only a charity so we can't do everything ourselves, so we also have a lot of advice and guidance on our website for what people can do themselves in they come across an injured animal, for example. but you are right, people are much more aware and in fact as part of our 200th birthday, we are trying to create a million strong movement of people actively doing things for animals, so trying to turn that awareness into something people can do. and i think that is a really exciting idea because it means that animal welfare is actually everyone's responsibility and everyone can do something to help. hide and everyone can do something to hel. ~ and everyone can do something to hel, . ., and everyone can do something to hel. . ., , and everyone can do something to help. we saw

as the rspca, we contacted the police immediately. i am really pleased to hear that there is going to be an independent investigation and the police force have referred themselves for that investigation. so i think that is really good, but we want to move towards a world where every animal is treated with compassion and respect, and that is what we hope to see in the future. incidents

conceding the quickest goal in european championship history, to win their opening game of euro 202a. while spain had the most impressive victory on day two of the tournament in germany. ben croucher rounds up the action. from zagreb to berlin, croatian fans brought the energy to the german capital. sadly, their footballers left them longing for a defence. commentator: it's alvaro morata! it's 1-0, spain! — and even when they did get men back, fabian ruiz wiggled a way through. spain are basking in the berlin sunshine! by half—time, spain were out of sight, touched home by 32—year—old dani carvajal, created by lamine yamal, a player half his age. and that was the whole story. the three—time winners starting in style. unlike the defending champions. oh, there�*s a mistake. oh, what a start! just 23 seconds it took for albania to stun italy in dortmund. within another 929 — orjust under 16 minutes to you and me — they were behind as first alessandro bastoni. and then nicolo barella reminded us that in these tournaments it�*s not how you start, but how you finish. elsewhere, scotland�*s next opponents laid down an ominous marker. looking for the room to have a hit. 0h! ahead of their meeting with the scots on wednesday, switzerland beat hungary 3—1, and the celebrations may well have been felt back in bern. ben croucher, bbc news. tributes have been paid to the former arsenal and everton striker kevin campbell who�*s died at the age of 5a after a short illness. he�*d been in hospital since last month. campbell spent six years with everton, having started his career at arsenal, he scored 148 goals across spells with eight clubs during his career. arsenal paid tribute saying: whilst everton said: now at long last the wait could soon be over for everton fans. the group who owns italian side roma, have agreed a deal in principle, to takeover. meanwhile, brighton and hove albion have confirmed that fabian hurzeler will be their new first—team head coach, replacing roberto de zerbi. the 31—year—old guided st pauli to promotion to the german bundesliga last month, and has agreed a contract at the amex untiljune 2027 just a couple of hours ago, it looked as though scotland could be heading through to the last eight of cricket�*s t20 world cup at the expense of england! but it�*sjos buttler�*s team who�*ll be heading into the knockout stage. the scots looked like they were on the way to a shock win against australia — who had already qualified — in st lucia. but the aussies eventually won by 5 wickets with 2 balls to spare. earlier, in a rain interrupted match in antigua, england got the win they needed to keep their hopes alive. harry brook hit 47 not out helping his side to 122 for 5 from their 10 overs. namibia could only make 84 for 3 in their run chase, with england eventually winning by 41 runs. heartbreakfor heartbreak for scotland who came so close to making it through. australia is a world—class cricket team and they have been for many years. they will always put on a good fight, they will never walk over and let you in. i�*m glad it was a close game today. we showed we can compete at this high level against the best players in the world. again we showed it tonight we are not far away from beating the best in the world. rory mcilroy is still in the hunt for his first major title in a decade. he�*s just three shots off the pace heading into the final round of the us open in north carolina. mcilroy managed a patient one—under 69, with four birdies, including this at the twelfth. two late bogeys though have made his task today more difficult. mcilroy is one of three players chasing the leader — american bryson dechambeau — who is seven under par overall. he�*ll be back on the course just after 7 this evening. it tests your chipping and parting, it is testing your mental fortitude more than any other golf tournament. yes, as i said at the start of the week, it is a style of goal i try to do try to embrace over the past few years a reason my performances at the us open have been much improved over the past half a decade. it�*s going to be a busy day at the nottingham open today. katie boulter and emma raducanu will return to finish their semi final with the final then to be played later. former us open champion raducanu is a set up on the british number one, after a marathon tie break she won by 15 points to 13. the eventual winner will play either karolina pliskova or diane parry of france. with wimbledon just over two weeks away, britain�*s jack draper is just one wn away from his first atp title, after breezing past unseeded american brandon nakashima in straight sets at the stuttgart open. draper — who�*s seeded six — breezed to a 6—3, 6—3 victory. draper will meet former wimbledon finalist matteo berrettini in the decider today, and will become british number one tomorrrow. glasgow warriors are one step away from winning the united rugby championship the warriors led at the break at thomond park and extended that advantage thanks to this stunning try that was eventually finished by sebastian cancelliere. the warriors will meet the bulls in pretoria in the urc final next weekend after the south african side�*s semi—final victory over leinster. in super league, leeds rhinos played their first match since the passing of rob burrow as they faced hull fc. a minute�*s applause took place before kick off at the mkm stadium, with rob�*s father geoff in attendance and visibly moved at the tribute to his son. both team captains carried wreaths out ahead of the match, before placing them at the side of the pitch. burrow was an eight—time grand final winnerfor the rhinos, before helping lead the fight against motor neurone disease following his diagnosis in late 2019. on the pitch, hull won forjust the second time this season. this try from brad scott helping them to an 18—10 victory. the win ended a run of 11 successive defeats in league and cup for the black and whites. elsewhere, leigh leopards boosted their play—off hopes with a 10—2 victory over catalan dragons in perpignan. tom amone�*s first half try enough to separate the two sides. in boxing, chris billam—smith has defended his wbo cruiserweight world title against richard riakporhe at selhurst park. the two went the distance in london with billam—smith eventually coming out on top via unanimous decision. the win sees him gain revenge for a defeat against his opponent in 2019. there we go. a big night on the boxing and a big night on the football as we build up for the england against serbia later on. stay tuned for the story we are about to tell you. it is boxing themed. a very impressive woman. legacies don�*t come much more powerful than this. at age 94, barbara buttrick

the recent days. some more to come but it is not all bad. some drier weather over the next few days at times and some sunshine where you do see the sunshine come through with the blue skies, it is really strong this time of year as we head towards the summer solstice. today, yes, some sunshine but there is a bit of rain around as well. especially across scotland and northern ireland because we are closer to this area of low pressure and we have another systems thinking self so that is bringing more cloud and rain in the north. further south across england and wales some early rain that should clear away and then sunshine developing but there will be those showers bubbling up through the day. peppered across northern england in the midlands, down towards the northeast but not as many as yesterday. lighter winds in the south as well, still strong winds across parts of scotland and the western isles, a blustery day for stornoway. fairly cloudy across scotland and northern ireland but the rain petering out. mid to high teens, but further chains we might see 20 degrees also in the strong sunshine. the uv levels, the sunshine. the uv levels, the sunshine is strong. i levels of uv. if you suffer from hay fever, this is the pollen outlook and it will be very high pollen levels across some parts of england. moderate to high for much of the uk. as we head through this evening and overnight we still have quite a bit of cloud, most rain fizzling away, still a few showers for the central part of the country. some clear spells in the south as we head towards monday morning and temperatures between eight and 12 degrees. that is monday and that weather is looking quieter and that weather is looking quieter and i touch warmer. there will be spells of sunshine breaking through but you consider showers developing through the day so showers in eastern scotland, northeast england as well, drier and further south and further west as well but you could catch a passing shower. tempered is warmer than recent days by tomorrow looking at highs in the high teens or low 20s. 22 supports the london region. a similar sort of story into tuesday so a lot of dry weather but blue colours just grazing the southeast, an area of rain pushing in from the near continent and some showers developing across northern england and scotland as well. they will be quite hit and miss so some dry and bright weather between the showers. high teens, low 20s possible on tuesday, a bit cooler with the breeze coming in from the north across the north of scotland. we have high pressure, this is the middle of the week, trying to move in but you can see it is sandwiched by low pressure to the north and the south of the uk so a few showers our way. the outlook from mid week onwards, a fairamount way. the outlook from mid week onwards, a fair amount of dry weather particularly through central areas, cardiff looking largely drive through the course of the week but still a chance of some showers in. but it will be warming up and it won�*t be as chilly or unsettled as it has been over the past few weeks. heading gradually in the right direction, isn�*t it? thank you. if you are

transformed into a leather alternative known as new grain. no animals, no plastic. now it is time for all of this to head back to the lab around the corner. once these sacks arrive at the lab, it is time for the process to begin. first of all, it is emptied out into a container like this and then an alkaline solution is added. that is stirred for about an hour to extract the protein from the grain. in the husk will be separated and the protein liquid will move along to the next stage where some natural ingredients will be added. this will be stirred for another couple of hours and at this point protein strings start to develop and that means it is ready to be poured into the trays. now, this tray here has a pretty smooth finish so that like a lot of natural leathers. if you want something even smoother than that, there is a trade for that as well, and for something a bit more of a crocodile, even have a version like that. i using stout, it will result in different final colours. after the material has been sitting in the trade for a day it is ready to peel off. that is so smooth, like pvc. and now it needs a sustainable backing added. one of the big environmental

with leather... it doesn�*t smell of much. a bit like a new car may be. which i guess could be the smell of leather. it is not quite the same but they are looking at being able to customise it to smell it however someone might want it to, or of nothing possibly. more flexible ones that i used was on the leather handbag feel more like leather handbag feel more like leather and they have just got that movement to them. but i think the main point is there is a lot of flexibility as to how the finish is going to end up looking and what can be done to it afterwards. there is competition,

and ben boulos. our headlines today: they sing "vindaloo". the euros are about to kick off for england�*s players and fans with expectations high. when you know, you know. that�*s why we got on the plane, because we know it�*s coming home. we know we're going to win it! the moment of truth comes at 8pm tonight — just down the road from here, in gelsenkirchen. the message from gareth southgate, enjoy the football. anger after a police car is driven into a runaway cow — the home secretary demands an urgent explanation. the israeli army announces a pause in military activity in parts of southern gaza to allow more aid into the territory. drama in the cricket — scotland are out of the t20 world cup but england are through after they they beat namibia and the poor weather in antigua to make it through to the super—8s. # ooh, baby, baby # ba—baby, baby...# why the seaside resport of blackpool is declaring itself the uk�*s capital of dance. and good morning, it�*s another mixed day weather—wise. we have cloud and outbreaks of rain in the north, sunshine and fewer showers towards the south. i�*ll have all the detail coming up shortly. it�*s sunday the 16th ofjune. our main story — tens of thousands of england fans will descend on the german city of gelsenkirshen tonight to watch the three lions kick—off their euro 24 campaign. gareth southgate�*s men — who are among the tournament favourites — will take on serbia in their opening match. john watson is in nearby essen for us. john, what�*s the atmosphere like this morning? the fans will be out in force later. a very good morning from essen, close to gelsenkirchen, where the game will be staged tonight. gareth southgate giving the message to the fans to enjoy the football. the message to his players, they will need to be exceptional if they are to get past not only serbia but to get out of the group phase, which will be the minimum for england, such as the expectation and a belief not only among the players but also the fans that the men�*s team can finally deliver on the biggest stage of all and lift a major trophy for the first time since the world cup of 1966. the atmosphere is going to build towards kick off at 8pm at tonight and that atmosphere is pretty likely already, as andy swiss can tell us. they sing "vindaloo". excited? just a bit. england fans in bullish mood as they arrived in gelsenkirchen. some 40,000 are expected here amid high decibels and high hopes. england! we�*ll top the group. then we�*ll just fly through the tournament and just win it, it�*ll be great. it�*s happening, it�*s coming home. it�*s coming home! football's coming home! wahey! # sweet caroline...#. we�*re definitely going to win. win the game against serbia. i think we�*ll win it. we've been here two days and it's been brilliant. the best thing ever! are england going to win the euros? 0h, definitely! definitely! when you know, you know. and that's why we got on the plane, because we know it's coming home. j we know we're going to win it. we know it's going to happen. but can england�*s players live up to that hype? the mood was certainly relaxed in training yesterday and for captain and manager, staying grounded is the key. when you�*re trying to achieve exceptional things, you have to break it down into manageable chunks. and the first priority is get out of the group and then work from there. in the past tournaments, we've done a lot of things well which is made the country proud and we've had good tournament but ultimately, we're here to win it and there'll be nothing better for us and the nation itself if we do that. not since the world cup in 1966 have england�*s men won a major tournament, but they�*ll emerge here in gelsenkirchen tonight as one of the favourites and ready for another shot at glory. and now grealish. grealish in...! three years ago, remember, they came oh so close. on home soil, england reached the last final of the last euros. now, after so many near misses, they�*ll be hoping this year just might be theirs. # we're going to scorel one more sign you...#. andy swiss, bbc news, gelsenkirchen. ultimately, the aim for this england team and for gareth southgate is to win the trophy. i think that will be the ultimate aim. there will be talk around the england manager�*s future, gareth southgate in the lead up to this tournament suggested he could leave his role as england manager if england aren�*t able to win the tournament. the faa had said they would like gareth southgate to stay or no matter what the outcome. for those fans at home and here, it will be a special day, such as the excitement of seeing your nation play in a major tournament. there is concern around security, in the lead up concern around security, in the lead up to this match, thousands of police will be on the streets here, local authorities concerned a section of serbian supporters may look to cause trouble later, but as things stand at the moment, nothing will dampen down the atmosphere for those expectant england fans with kick—off at 8pm tonight. just those expectant england fans with kick-off at 8pm tonight.— kick-off at 8pm tonight.

officers deliberately drove into a cow that was on the loose. the force says it was acting to ensure public safety, and the animal is now being treated by a vet. this report from simon jones contains images you may find upsetting. friday night, and a cow is wandering down a busy road. police say they�*ve been trying to capture it several hours after it had been running at members of the public. what happened next has been described by the rspca as upsetting and distressing. we�*ve decided not to show it in full. the cow was deliberately hit at speed by a police car. the animal is knocked onto its side and, as it attempts to get up, it�*s hit again by the vehicle. i think, why�*s that cow at the top of my road? as i came out, i�*ve seen the police car come, he�*s rammed it and then it�*s got up and carried on running again, and he�*s rammed it again. i think it would have been handled better, it was quite extreme, the way the police dealt with it. i think it would have been dealt with a lot more humanely. i think it was quite distressing for everyone. in a statement, the chief inspector said... i think it�*s really difficult, because that police officer at that time, their number—one training priority is to protect the public around them. that poor animal was obviously really psyched up because it had been... it managed to get out of its field, it got lost, it was running around an urban environment, you could tell from the footage it was very stressed. this is the street where the cow was rammed. it suffered a large cut to its leg and is being looked after by a vet. on social media, the home secretary james cleverly said... after being hit, the cow eventually gets up and runs off before being caught. surrey police say they will now refer what happened to the independent office for police conduct. simon jones, bbc news. the israeli army has announced what it called a daily tactical pause in military activity in part of southern gaza, to allow more humanitarian aid into the strip. our correspondentjon donnison is in jerusalem and sent this report. well, this announcement came from the israeli military this morning. what they have said is they are going to allow a tactical, military pause in fighting between eight o�*clock in the morning and seven o�*clock at night each day around the kerem shalom crossing from israel into gaza, and then stretching out to the main road, which is the coastal road that runs from north to south in gaza. it comes at a time when palestinians today would be celebrating the holy festival of eid. normally, they would be meeting with friends and family for meals, etc, but the un at the moment saying that more than a million palestinians are facing starvation within a matter of weeks, so there is clearly a desperate need for aid. we know that there are trucks backed up on the israeli side of the border and on the egyptian border with gaza, and that aid desperately needed. what impact it is going to have, we will have to wait and see. world leaders are expected to sign a declaration later to reaffirm the territorial integrity of ukraine as it continues to face russia�*s invasion. more than 90 world leaders, including rishi sunak, are attending the swiss gathering and are expected to endorse a group statement. russia has not been invited and china is not attending. people living near a chemical plant in south wales were told to keep their windows and doors shut as a precaution, after a chemical incident. firefighters were called after reports a white mist was seen coming from the site in barry. a plant spokesman said the incident was contained and no—one was injured. promises about nhs funding in england, made by all the major parties in their manifestos, have been criticised by an independent health think tank. our political correspondent hannah millerjoins us now. morning, hanno. this is a key priority for so many voters, what does this report tell us? bath does this report tell us? both labour does this report tell us? both labour and — does this report tell us? both labour and the _ does this report tell us? both labour and the liberal - does this report tell us? both labour and the liberal democrats today wanting to talk about the nhs ago specifically cancer treatment. last year, more than a third of cancer patients waited more than two months to be seen. labour are saying a combination of more appointments and new technology means that they could to help the nhs to meet that target. the liberal democrats say they would guarantee that all patients would be seen within at that time. though not specifically talking about it today, the conservatives also say in their manifesto they can help the nhs to meet its performance targets in the next parliament. but this report from the nuffield trust is a really big wake—up call, calling for both labour and the conservatives to be more transparent about their funding plans for the nhs. it is important to say nhs spending is due to go up but they say by not as much as it traditionally has done. they say that will make it a very challenging for the nhs to pay the staff to the extent that they wish to be paid and also to meet the recruitment targets that the parties are setting out. it also points to something whiter in this election where conversation at times has been about what will happen it to tax. there is error reality here that public spending in matter who wins this election is incredibly tight and delivering the nhs or whatever else people expect is going to be a challenge for whoever wins the election. thank ou. tv chef gordon ramsay says he is lucky to be alive after an accident riding his bike in the us. he warned his followers on social media always to wear a helmet

issues is poor mental health. now the family and friends of alec newlove — a 24—year—old farmer who took his own life — are urging others to talk more openly about their struggles. our correspondent linsey smith has more. i want people to remember him for who he was, but i don�*t want them in the same place that we�*re in. a fun brother, a loving son, a great friend. alec newlove�*s welfare was never a concern to those close until he didn�*t turn up for work on 18th march. he was just always busy and always with people or doing something with hockey or doing something with young farmers. he didn�*t really have time to come and visit us! he was just such a busy guy. was that because he was lonely otherwise? i don�*t know. there were more questions than answers for alec�*s family. just complete devastation and shock to hear that he�*s took his own life with no warning and no notice. yeah, devastating. his friends are being supported. they used the last known location on his mobile to search for him. it's something that nobody ever wants to have to do, to find somebody deceased, and that will stay with people for a long time, probably for the rest of their life. so getting that support and talking through it was really important and sharing those feelings and not bottling things up. so nationally, it's probably one farmer takes his life a week in the uk and within lincolnshire. over recent years there's been at least five that we are aware of. national campaigns have been run but still a staggering 95% of young farmers recently said mental health was a huge concern. we lost a nephew a year and a half ago, so he�*s like. it�*s pushed alex friends on a mission to get each other talking. they�*re preparing their floats for the lincolnshire show. call it responsibility. i mean, at the end of the day, if you�*re trying to supply the country and you don�*t meet your requirements, it�*s a lot of pressure and stress on you. vital that we talk because we can be subcontractors for up to 16, 18 hours a day, nonstop around the clock, and you get home, you'll just feel drained. no—one to talk to. even though we�*re all together as a team, it�*s like there�*s still that one person just completely missing, but he�*s always there with us in spirit. so it�*s very strange without him. and throughout the industry, the message is more needs to be done. here, it�*s more simple — talking saves lives. lindsey smith, bbc news. thank you to those people there for sharing their experiences with us. stephanie berkeley from the farm safety foundation joins us now. it's it�*s really harrowing to hear about those situations but what do you think it could be done to try and avoid someone, a young farmer, a feeling that they�*ve got no other alternative? i

farmers, they all need to learn a little more about what is mental health, what is it look like? for themselves, the people they work with and the people they live with. i feel there has been with and the people they live with. ifeel there has been a change of over the last couple of years in the normalising conversations around mental health, but as alex�* friends and parents would say, it�*s about talking and about looking for those small signs, and gut feeling you have that something�*s not right and not ignoring it and reaching out and asking someone if they�*re ok. your asking someone if they're ok. your senses that — asking someone if they're ok. your senses that the _ asking someone if they're 0k. your senses that the conversation is opening up, particularly for the next generation of who we heard speaking so eloquently in that report, but what you think it is about farming and agriculture? is it something specific to the industry that leaves young people feeling isolated? ., ., ., ., ., isolated? that there are a lot of uniiue isolated? that there are a lot of unique stresses _ isolated? that there are a lot of unique stresses that _ isolated? that there are a lot of unique stresses that farmers i isolated? that there are a lot of. unique stresses that farmers face that in general public don�*t. we saw in the weather forecast that we are again getting rain, for us, a minor inconvenience, for the farming industry, it means crops are destroyed, animals in danger, which all affects the financial side of things. everything farmers face is completely out of their control. government decisions, we know what�*s been happening with the environmental issues, biosecurity, animal diseases, and they said in a video that farmers can be working 14 to 16 hours a day, that�*s a normal day. that�*s not monday to friday, it�*s right through the week. there�*s no escape from the farm, delivered where they work. they can also be as much as fourth—generation farmers, so there is pride in what they do, didn�*t want to admit when things are possibly going wrong. and when they ask for help, they can be quite far down the line. that they are just working people but we need to support them and we need to be buying british food. with the best asparagus and strawberries in season right now so let�*s not buy from mexico or other countries, look in the supermarket where your food is coming from, that is the way we can back british farming so we can guarantee they�*re there to put food on our plates. we guarantee they're there to put food

afternoon as trooping the colour took place, an event to mark the king�*s official birthday. the event takes place every year, but yesterday was particularly special as the princess of wales made her

all. she is not fully back yet by any means, not fully recovered and in her own words, not out of the woods yet. i suspect the day was tinged with sadness in that respect and chemotherapy will go on for few months but she looked radiant and she was exactly where she�*s meant to be, at the heart of the royal family. nothing happens by chance with the family and it was poignant and meaningful that she stood shoulder to shoulder with the king on the balcony. last year, it would have been william standing there but this year, it was catherine. fight! have been william standing there but this

after these desperately difficult six months there is a feeling that they have been beginning to get back to normal. only beginning, but the binning of the end perhaps is in sight. in the middle of a general election campaign, where there�*s so much few productivity going on and so much bickering among our politicians, it is reassuring to have these rituals which go on a year by year. there�*s a lovely continuity and assurance about it all, i think. continuity and assurance about it all, ithink. the continuity and assurance about it all, i think. the crowd struck up with that rain and stood

was fiddling with the blinds! but it is a long ceremony. you can�*t help but get involved. your feet to just move to the beat of those drums and the pounding of the hooves of the horses. it is fantastic. these guys might rehearse for about eight weeks to get it absolutely precise and it�*s a wonderful sight. i think for a lot of people who go there and watch on television but for the royal

of 2024 that things were going to be on a smoother course. here we are, hit by a double cancer diagnosis. but the king is looking pretty well, he is, in camilla�*s words, not doing as he is told, which frustrates her immensely, but yesterday he put on a great show. is a man of a certain age and undergoing treatment himself but stood there in chilly conditions. they all went in with those doors

5-1. germany comfortably beating scotland 5—1. spain got their campaign going with a win as they won 3—0 last night over croatia in group b. fabian ruiz getting spent as second, so a great start for spain. italy, the holders, they are up and running with the win, as well. they conceded the quickest goal ever scored in the european championship match as they beat albania 2—1 in dortmund. the holders who beat england in the final last time out on penalties are up final last time out on penalties are up and running with the win. switching off to a winning start as well. they defeated hungary 3—1. so ominous signs for scotland, who take on the swiss on wednesday, before they play their final group match against hungary. a real test of scotland�*s character. they will have to dust themselves down after that heavy opening defeat to germany, heading into their next match against switzerland. the atmosphere inevitably will build as we head towards kick—off tonight in gelsenkirchen. eight o�*clock that game gets under way. the fans will be in full voice and thousands will gather here, as they will be gathering around the tv back on tonight. the atmosphere will be special with england getting their german under way against serbia. earlier this morning it looked as though scotland were heading through to the last eight of cricket�*s t20 world cup at the expense of england, but it�*sjos buttler�*s team who will be heading into the knockout stage. the scots looked like they were on the way to a shock win against australia, who had already qualified, in st lucia, but the aussies eventually won by five wickets with two balls to spare. earlier, in a rain interrupted match in antigua, england got the win they needed to keep their hopes alive. harry brook hit 47 not out, helping his side to 122 for five from their ten overs. namibia could only make 84—3 in their run chase, with england eventually winning by 41 runs. so heartbreak for scotland, who came so close to making it through australia is a world class cricket team. they have been for many, many years. they�*re always going to put out a good fight. they are neverjust going to walk over and let you win. so i�*m glad that it was a close game today. we showed that we can compete at this high level against the best players in the world. and yet again, we showed it tonight that, you know, we�*re not far away from from beating the best in the world. rory mcilroy is still in the hunt for his first major title in a decade. he�*s just three shots off the pace heading into the final round of the us open in north carolina. mcilroy managed a patient one—under 69, with four birdies, including this at the 12th. two late bogeys, though, have made his task today more difficult. mcilroy is one of three players chasing the leader, american bryson dechambeau, who is seven—under par overall. the world number three though feels he has the game to win america again. it�*s a test of your chipping, a test of your putting, it obviously tests your mental fortitude more than any other golf tournament. so, yeah, as i know, as i said at the start of the week, it�*s a it�*s a style of golf that i�*ve started to try and embrace over these last few years. and it�*s the reason that my performances at the us open have been much improved over the last half a decade. it�*s going to be a busy day at the nottingham open today. katie boulter and emma raducanu will return to finish their semifinal, with the final then to be played later. former us open champion raducanu is a set up on the british number one after a marathon tie break she won by 15 points to 13. the eventual winner will play either karolina pliskova or diane parry of france. with wimbledon just over two weeks away, britain�*s jack draper is just one wn away from his first atp title after breezing past unseeded american brandon nakashima in straight sets at the stuttgart open. draper, who is seeded six, breezed to a 6—3, 6—3 victory. draper will meet former wimbledon finalist matteo berrettini in the decider today and will become british number one tomorrrow. glasgow warriors are one step away from winning the united rugby championship after upsetting defending champions munster yesterday. the warriors led at the break at thomond park and extended that advantage thanks to this stunning try that was eventually finished by sebastian cancelliere. the warriors will meet the bulls in pretoria in the urc final next weekend after the south african side�*s semifinal victory over leinster. in super league, leeds rhinos played their first match since the passing of rob burrow as they faced hull fc. a minute�*s applause took place before kick off at the mkm stadium, with rob�*s father, geoff, in attendance and visibly moved at the tribute to his son. both team captains carried wreaths out ahead of the match, before placing them at the side of the pitch. burrow was an eight—time grand final winnerfor the rhinos, before helping lead the fight against motor neurone disease following his diagnosis in late 2019. on the pitch, hull won forjust the second time this season, this try from brad scott helping them to an 18—10 victory. the win ended a run of 11 successive defeats in league and cup for the black and whites. elsewhere, leigh leopards boosted their play—off hopes with a 10—2 victory over catalan dragons in perpignan. tom amone�*s first half try enough to separate the two sides. of course, we will be building up all day to the big england match at eight o�*clock this evening. here�*s sarah with the weather. well, slightly improved day—to—day parity yesterday across england and wales. sunshine and a few showers. i fine start today in northamptonshire, subtitles will resume shortly. sky. today, yes, some sunshine blasting through the day for some of us, but there is a bit of rain and the forecast. low pressure is still with us, sitting across parts of scotland at the moment. there are some fronts around this area of low pressure. there is rain across northern parts of scotland at the moment and it will push south. some patchy rain across southern scotland and northern ireland later in the morning. a classic day of sunshine and showers. most of the showers will be in the east. furtherwest most of the showers will be in the east. further west will be drier and

showers for scotland, northern england. southern end and probably getting away with a dry day. wrong sunshine again, lifting temperatures to 22 degrees. still looking at the mid to high teens further north. looking into tuesday, a fair amount of dry, settled weather but showers again crop up through the day, perhaps scotland and northern england with the chance of more persistent rain on the south—east for a time. in the sunshine, 21 degrees, but with the showers that temperatures will be pegged back into the mid—teens. into the middle of the week, high pressure trying to build and across the uk, but it is the filling and a low—pressure sandwich because there is no pressure and the south, that will through some showers our way. a lot of dry weather for areas like cardiff, for instance. a few showers around elsewhere interrupting the sunshine, but it will not be a write—off. it will not be as chilly or unsettled as it has been over the last couple of weeks. we were thinking about trying to hook the television up in the garden to watch the tv, but it could be a bit risky! when you think of blackpool, you probably see roller—coasters, fish and chips, sticks of rock and, of course, blackpool tower — but it�*s also been a spiritual home for generations of dance lovers. over the next month, the seaside town is becoming a self—proclaimed capital of dance, with pop—up performances, classes, workshops and shows. phil cunliffe went to find out more. welcome to showtown for the launch of the uk�*s capital of dance! maybe it�*s the lancashire sea air or the rhythm of the tide — blackpool and dancing go hand in hand. the title uk�*s capital of dance is one that organisers of the new festival have bestowed on themselves, but perhaps with good reason. blackpool�*s got an unrivalled heritage in dance, from the days of the victorian dance trains used that to bring hundreds of people to dance on central pier, through to the big band era, emperor�*s ballroom, the tower ballroom, then we had the heyday of variety. disco, northern soul, superclubs and now we have strictly. where else could you possibly launch a festival like this? the idea of the festival is to create a dance and movement version of the edinburgh fringe, across multiple locations, inside and outdoors. there�*ll be dozens of live shows, community events and street dancing, like this. we�*re going to be doing some performances, workshops, djing. an opportunity for people to get involved and learn a bit about breakdance, because that�*s in the olympics now, so people are really interested in seeing what all the culture�*s all about. so we�*re going to bring that element to it and a really good vibe. music: swan lake. or, if you prefer a more chilled—out vibe, there are taster classes for those who want to give ballet ago. the festival aims to cater for people of all ages. archive: up north, they make - for blackpool, and blackpool's made for a champion time, whatever the weather. blackpool attracts more than 20 million visitors a year. there are already dozens of free events, so is there room in the calendar for something else? the thing that a month—long festival brings is a reason stay over, so it�*s notjust arriving in, engaging and then coming back home again — come over, come and stay with us, come and experience everything else that we�*ve got to offer in blackpool, but come because of dance. we are the uk�*s most popular seaside resort but we need to keep giving people reasons to come. of course, the resort has never taken itself too seriously. this cabaret bar, featuring burlesque drag shows, is running a drag queen workshop. people come and theyjust can�*t believe it when they see how professional the dance is. and blackpool�*s so associated with it. i always say it�*s like the las vegas of dance. it�*s like las vegas on heat, really, it�*s brilliant. i�*ve never had reason to worry about dancing in high heels but i know someone who has — cece d�*vyne, from funny girls. hello. hello, phil. you�*re going to be giving tips on how to dance in these as part of the festival, aren�*t you? i am, yes. i�*m going to be doing a class on the 29th ofjune, which will be a full class for a range of abilities and ages, with our dancing in heels class. i�*m just waiting for you to pop on a leotard, phil, and we�*ll be cracking on for our first lesson today. you might have to wait a long time for that, i�*m afraid! ready? five, six, seven, eight — walk, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. how was that? you�*re a natural! marks out of ten? three. three! i�*ll take that, to be honest. so, the invitation is there to pull on your dancing shoes. even if, like me, you�*ve got two left feet. phil cunliffe, bbc news. you�*re a natural, you�*re a natural! well, if that wasn�*t enough dancing for you, we have more going on for you on the keys just outside the studio. house of wings will be taking part in gap blackpool capital
