Hi, I'm Ayshah, welcome to Newsround.

Some sad news first this morning.

Tributes have been paid to a politician who's died.

Jo Cox, who was a Member of Parliament, was killed

after an attack yesterday near where she was working

in Birstall in West Yorkshire.

Vigils have been held to remember her and many people have

been giving their tributes, including the Prime

Minister David Cameron.

We've lost a great star.

She was an MP, a great campaigning MP with huge compassion,

with a big heart, and people are going to be very,

very sad about what has happened.

I thought she was very beautiful.

And I think she did the right job to, I think she did the right

thing to pick that job.

Well, the BBC's John Maguire is in Birstall this morning

and he sent Newsround this report.

This is the village of Birstall, this is where the MP Jo Cox

was about to take a constituency surgery yesterday which is something

MPs do every week.

They meet, sit down with local people who will have voted for them,

some of course may not have voted for them.

This, some of the floral tributes that have been laid by people.

And they get a very good idea of the type of work she did.

She worked hard for women's causes, for refugees, she had also

been a charity worker, working around the world in some

war-torn countries in previous years.

And many of the tribute and comments there reflect that.

What's very clear is that she was very respected and very loved

in her local constituency.

Thanks, John.

Now it's important to remember that these events are extremely rare.

And if anything you see or hear in the news does upset you,

then go to Newsround online for advice on what you should do.

In other news, two home nations were celebrating

their success at the Euros.

First, Northern Ireland beat Ukraine, 2-0.

Naz was in Northern Ireland to watch the game.

As soon as it kicked off, my heart was racing.

Here he is, Conor Washington, the unknown quantity, if you like.

The first half, it was very nerve wracking.

Ukraine were putting a lot of effort in and getting a lot of chances.

It got a bit frustrating at times because we got so close to the net

and just didn't get any goals because the goalkeepers

were playing so good.

At 49 minutes through, McAuley, there was a breakthrough goal,

he just headed it straight into the back of the net.

And that's it from McAuley.

Had such good control, just amazing.

These are about the worst conditions I can remember seeing

in tournament football.

Suddenly the ref blew his whistle and all the players

started going off.

And we were all quite confused until we saw the hail stones

and it was quite bad.

And then McGinn scored the last goal, ten seconds to go.

Everyone was just screaming.

Whenever the full-time whistle had gone, they went absolutely cuckoo.

1-0 would have been good, but 2-0, that's such a good feeling.

Northern Ireland, I think, will get into the last 16.

To win the Euros, it would just be amazing.

It would be like a dream come true.

Just everyone would go nuts.

I'd be speechless.

Like, it's the second smallest country in the competition.

Like, for them to win it would be incredible.

If they win, oh, my, I went crazy when they won one match.

If they won the Euros, I don't know what I'd be like.

I might faint.

Northern Ireland!

Northern Ireland!

And in the other big match, England came out on top

with a 2-1 win over Wales.

I was on the English/Welsh border with fans of both teams who watched

the match at school.

Here's what they thought.

I think it went really well for England.

We were dominant in the first half and the second half.

We were overall the best team in there.

It was a good match, England were a good side

but we should have drawn.

I think it was amazing, I think everything about

it fitted perfectly.

Horrendous, knowing we had gone 2-1 down and there

was nothing we could do.

Tried to put a late header in but it didn't work.

In the second half we were just on another level.

Daniel Sturridge, Marcus Rashford played well on his debut.

So I think England were by far the best team.

That's all from me for now.

I'll be back in half an hour.
