in Bordeaux where they beat Slovakia 2-1 to kick start their European | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
Tonight they take on Portugal, in this very stadium, | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
So far, they've played 450 minutes of football, won 4 out of 5 matches | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
and scored 10 goals to reach this historic moment. | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
It's a truly incredible story of a team with unbreakable spirit | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
A small country, who have taken one of the world's biggest football | :00:35. | :00:40. | |
Just a sheet years ago, they were placed 114th in the world, now they | :00:41. | :00:52. | |
are taking one of the world's biggest bubble tournaments by storm. | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
Whatever happens here tonight, one thing's for sure - | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
this Wales team will be national heroes in their fans' eyes. | :00:58. | :00:59. | |
Thousands of them have been arriving in Lyon today, | :01:00. | :01:01. | |
to cheer on their team, and I caught up with some of them. | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
I ask them for one word that describes their team. | :01:05. | :01:11. | |
I think Wales are awesome, because they have got Gareth Bale. | :01:12. | :01:19. | |
We are dreamers. We believe we can achieve. | :01:20. | :01:33. | |
I think Wales are epic, because they have really good players. | :01:34. | :01:42. | |
Now, as you can see, a lot of the talk in the build up | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
to this game has been about the head-to-head clash | :01:47. | :01:48. | |
between Real Madrid team mates Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo. | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
If you want to know more about how they stack up, | :01:52. | :01:53. | |
That's also where you can tell us your views about the result tonight. | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
So that's it, Wales are one win away from making the final of Euro 2016. | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
The other big news today is about a war involving British | :02:00. | :02:06. | |
It caused huge arguments across the world and now a report | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
has been looking into what went wrong. | :02:11. | :02:12. | |
In a moment, a BBC political expert will explain what this all means, | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
In 2003, the US led an invasion of Iraq in the Middle East, | :02:16. | :02:23. | |
They targeted the Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. | :02:24. | :02:31. | |
The American and British leaders at the time said he was dangerous | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
They also said that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction that | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
Saddam Hussein said he didn't have any such weapons. | :02:41. | :02:47. | |
But the American and UK leaders didn't believe him. | :02:48. | :02:57. | |
The decision to go to war was extremely controversial, not | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
everybody agreed. Millions of people | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
protested all over the UK. But the British prime minister | :03:06. | :03:07. | |
at the time, Tony Blair, Iraq's army was defeated | :03:08. | :03:09. | |
and Saddam Hussein was But no weapons of mass | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
destruction were found in Iraq. The mission turned into a long war | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
lasting eight years. 4,500 American troops | :03:16. | :03:23. | |
died and the UK lost No-one knows for sure | :03:24. | :03:25. | |
how many Iraqis died, It also left different | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
groups in Iraq fighting Many people questioned | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
why the UK and US got In 2009, the then British Prime | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
Minister, Gordon Brown, set up a special investigation | :03:42. | :03:49. | |
to find out what happened in the run-up to the invasion | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
and whether the right It was called the Chilcot Inquiry | :03:53. | :03:54. | |
named after the man in charge of it. Sir John Chilcot was asked to find | :03:55. | :04:04. | |
out what happened in the run-up to the invasion, and whether the right | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
decisions were made. And today, seven years on, the enquiry reported | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
that the UK went to war when it wasn't necessary, and that the | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
problems that caused the war could have been solved peacefully. | :04:17. | :04:18. | |
It also said that in future politicians should think more | :04:19. | :04:20. | |
Now over to BBC Political reporter Chris Mason, | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
who has been looking at why this report is so important. | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
The biggest job of our government is to try and keep us safe, and the | :04:30. | :04:36. | |
biggest decision that the leader of our government, the Prime Minister, | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
ever has to take is whether or not we go to war, and that is because | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
wars are horrible. Our soldiers get killed, and other people get killed | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
as well. That means some people think all wars are a bad idea, but | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
some say they have to happen sometimes to protect our country and | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
what is important to us. This report into the Iraq war says not enough | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
preparation was done beforehand, Iraq wasn't really a threat to us, | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
and not many people had given much thought to whether Iraq could be put | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
together afterwards. Tony Blair, who was our leader, our Prime Minister | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
at the time, said it was a very, very difficult decision, but he did | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
think he was doing the right thing and he hadn't lied. But some of the | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
families of the soldiers who were killed are still very, very angry | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
about this, and some of them would even like Tony Blair to go to prison | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
for what he did. That is probably not going to happen, but what is | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
definitely going to change, I think, because of this report, is that it | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
will be much harder for the leaders in the future to persuade is that | :05:37. | :05:37. | |
war is a good idea. Well, that's all | :05:38. | :05:38. | |
from Newsround today. We'll be back tomorrow | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
with that all-important result from Euro 2016 - | :05:42. | :05:42. | |
good luck, Wales! | :05:43. | :05:45. |
