:00:12. > :00:13.Good morning, Ayshah here with Thursday's Newsround.
:00:14. > :00:17.It's a really important day for our home nations in the Euros
:00:18. > :00:19.football tournament today, as England take on Wales at 2:00.
:00:20. > :00:22.But it's not just football hitting the headlines.
:00:23. > :00:29.It's been a difficult night here in the city centre.
:00:30. > :00:31.English, Russian, Slovakian and Welsh fans are all here
:00:32. > :00:34.for Group B's matches, and there's been a lot of fighting.
:00:35. > :00:39.Last night, I saw French riot police with helmets and big shields manage
:00:40. > :00:43.a crowd who were shouting and causing trouble.
:00:44. > :00:47.It went on for hours, and at least 36 people have been arrested.
:00:48. > :00:51.Uefa, the organisation in charge of European football,
:00:52. > :00:53.have already warned Russia and England that any more violence
:00:54. > :01:02.Of course, this all comes on a massive day for England
:01:03. > :01:04.and Wales, who both play their second match of the group
:01:05. > :01:09.A win for either side would really boost their chances of making it
:01:10. > :01:15.I'll have everything you need to know at 4:20.
:01:16. > :01:20.Wales and England are not the only ones in action today.
:01:21. > :01:22.Northern Ireland are playing this evening, and Leah is live
:01:23. > :01:25.in the City of Lyon, where they'll be playing later.
:01:26. > :01:31.Hello and welcome to the Stade de Lyon, home of French League 1 side
:01:32. > :01:37.But today it plays host to Northern Ireland and Ukraine
:01:38. > :01:41.Northern Ireland only managed a draw against Poland in Nice a few days
:01:42. > :01:45.ago, so it's a must-win game for them and their fans will pack
:01:46. > :01:49.in to this 60,000-seater stadium later on this afternoon.
:01:50. > :01:52.With world champions Germany still to play,
:01:53. > :01:55.Northern Ireland have to give it all they've got tonight and fight
:01:56. > :02:16.And me and is a manner in and someone has the job of painting the
:02:17. > :02:18.white lines on the pitch. Will they be able to do it? I'll have all the
:02:19. > :02:20.updates for you tomorrow. Let's go to Northern Ireland now,
:02:21. > :02:37.where Naz has been finding out more I'm in Belfast in Northern Ireland,
:02:38. > :02:42.the only part of the UK that shares a land border with another country.
:02:43. > :02:48.There is a very important foot taking place next week, where it we
:02:49. > :02:55.will decide whether we want to stay in or leave the European Union, a
:02:56. > :02:59.club made up of 28 countries. I have been speaking to people who live
:03:00. > :03:07.near the border to see how that vote might affect them.
:03:08. > :03:09.I love living in Newry because it's just a massive shopping town.
:03:10. > :03:15.There's football pitches everywhere and you're never really bored.
:03:16. > :03:19.A lot of people come from down south and
:03:20. > :03:33.It sits right on the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic.
:03:34. > :03:37.The border runs for more than 300 miles, and people can move freely
:03:38. > :03:40.between the two countries, without needing a passport.
:03:41. > :03:45.Newry is just one place that benefits from having an open border.
:03:46. > :03:49.That's because people can come here and spend more money.
:03:50. > :03:52.But some people living here in Northern Ireland are worried
:03:53. > :03:54.that next week's important vote on whether to leave or stay
:03:55. > :03:59.in the European Union could affect that and how they use the border.
:04:00. > :04:03.I play three times a week and we usually cross the border
:04:04. > :04:08.Whenever they come over, it's more competition,
:04:09. > :04:11.rather than just playing from our side of the border.
:04:12. > :04:14.My auntie lives in Dublin, which is across the border,
:04:15. > :04:18.and she comes up to see us pretty much every weekend,
:04:19. > :04:22.My family uses the border a lot because my dad's a driver
:04:23. > :04:29.And my mum has a lot of friends down south.
:04:30. > :04:32.I went on holidays last year and we went down south
:04:33. > :04:38.You don't even notice you're going past the border,
:04:39. > :04:43.but if we leave, it might make it harder.
:04:44. > :04:46.If they vote out and they put checkpoints in the south,
:04:47. > :04:49.it might be a lot of hassle, like queues and people trying
:04:50. > :04:56.It might affect me and it might not, I'm not really sure.
:04:57. > :04:59.I'm curious to see that if we left, what would happen?
:05:00. > :05:08.People who wanted to stay in the European Union say a vote
:05:09. > :05:11.to leave would mean that it would be less easy to cross the border
:05:12. > :05:13.between the Republic of Ireland and the UK.
:05:14. > :05:16.They say it could mean fewer people would come to places like Newry
:05:17. > :05:19.to shop and spend money, and that could cause problems
:05:20. > :05:26.But people who want to leave the EU think that won't happen.
:05:27. > :05:28.They say that things on the border will stay the way
:05:29. > :05:31.they are because the Republic of Ireland and the UK will come
:05:32. > :05:33.to an agreement, as countries across Europe had their own
:05:34. > :05:37.agreements with each other before the EU existed.
:05:38. > :05:43.In surveys, people from Northern Ireland say they are more
:05:44. > :05:46.likely to support the EU than people living in other parts of the UK.
:05:47. > :05:49.That's also true of the pupils I have been speaking to today.
:05:50. > :05:51.In other areas of the UK, it's much closer
:05:52. > :05:56.And it is the vote from the whole of the UK that will
:05:57. > :06:01.That's it for the morning, Newsround's back with Hayley
