Good morning, Ayshah here with Thursday's Newsround.

:00:12.:00:13.

It's a really important day for our home nations in the Euros

:00:14.:00:17.

football tournament today, as England take on Wales at 2:00.

:00:18.:00:19.

But it's not just football hitting the headlines.

:00:20.:00:22.

It's been a difficult night here in the city centre.

:00:23.:00:29.

English, Russian, Slovakian and Welsh fans are all here

:00:30.:00:31.

for Group B's matches, and there's been a lot of fighting.

:00:32.:00:34.

Last night, I saw French riot police with helmets and big shields manage

:00:35.:00:39.

a crowd who were shouting and causing trouble.

:00:40.:00:43.

It went on for hours, and at least 36 people have been arrested.

:00:44.:00:47.

Uefa, the organisation in charge of European football,

:00:48.:00:51.

have already warned Russia and England that any more violence

:00:52.:00:53.

Of course, this all comes on a massive day for England

:00:54.:01:02.

and Wales, who both play their second match of the group

:01:03.:01:04.

A win for either side would really boost their chances of making it

:01:05.:01:09.

I'll have everything you need to know at 4:20.

:01:10.:01:15.

Wales and England are not the only ones in action today.

:01:16.:01:20.

Northern Ireland are playing this evening, and Leah is live

:01:21.:01:22.

in the City of Lyon, where they'll be playing later.

:01:23.:01:25.

Hello and welcome to the Stade de Lyon, home of French League 1 side

:01:26.:01:31.

But today it plays host to Northern Ireland and Ukraine

:01:32.:01:37.

Northern Ireland only managed a draw against Poland in Nice a few days

:01:38.:01:41.

ago, so it's a must-win game for them and their fans will pack

:01:42.:01:45.

in to this 60,000-seater stadium later on this afternoon.

:01:46.:01:49.

With world champions Germany still to play,

:01:50.:01:52.

Northern Ireland have to give it all they've got tonight and fight

:01:53.:01:55.

And me and is a manner in and someone has the job of painting the

:01:56.:02:16.

white lines on the pitch. Will they be able to do it? I'll have all the

:02:17.:02:18.

updates for you tomorrow. Let's go to Northern Ireland now,

:02:19.:02:20.

where Naz has been finding out more I'm in Belfast in Northern Ireland,

:02:21.:02:37.

the only part of the UK that shares a land border with another country.

:02:38.:02:42.

There is a very important foot taking place next week, where it we

:02:43.:02:48.

will decide whether we want to stay in or leave the European Union, a

:02:49.:02:55.

club made up of 28 countries. I have been speaking to people who live

:02:56.:02:59.

near the border to see how that vote might affect them.

:03:00.:03:07.

I love living in Newry because it's just a massive shopping town.

:03:08.:03:09.

There's football pitches everywhere and you're never really bored.

:03:10.:03:15.

A lot of people come from down south and

:03:16.:03:19.

It sits right on the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic.

:03:20.:03:33.

The border runs for more than 300 miles, and people can move freely

:03:34.:03:37.

between the two countries, without needing a passport.

:03:38.:03:40.

Newry is just one place that benefits from having an open border.

:03:41.:03:45.

That's because people can come here and spend more money.

:03:46.:03:49.

But some people living here in Northern Ireland are worried

:03:50.:03:52.

that next week's important vote on whether to leave or stay

:03:53.:03:54.

in the European Union could affect that and how they use the border.

:03:55.:03:59.

I play three times a week and we usually cross the border

:04:00.:04:03.

Whenever they come over, it's more competition,

:04:04.:04:08.

rather than just playing from our side of the border.

:04:09.:04:11.

My auntie lives in Dublin, which is across the border,

:04:12.:04:14.

and she comes up to see us pretty much every weekend,

:04:15.:04:18.

My family uses the border a lot because my dad's a driver

:04:19.:04:22.

And my mum has a lot of friends down south.

:04:23.:04:29.

I went on holidays last year and we went down south

:04:30.:04:32.

You don't even notice you're going past the border,

:04:33.:04:38.

but if we leave, it might make it harder.

:04:39.:04:43.

If they vote out and they put checkpoints in the south,

:04:44.:04:46.

it might be a lot of hassle, like queues and people trying

:04:47.:04:49.

It might affect me and it might not, I'm not really sure.

:04:50.:04:56.

I'm curious to see that if we left, what would happen?

:04:57.:04:59.

People who wanted to stay in the European Union say a vote

:05:00.:05:08.

to leave would mean that it would be less easy to cross the border

:05:09.:05:11.

between the Republic of Ireland and the UK.

:05:12.:05:13.

They say it could mean fewer people would come to places like Newry

:05:14.:05:16.

to shop and spend money, and that could cause problems

:05:17.:05:19.

But people who want to leave the EU think that won't happen.

:05:20.:05:26.

They say that things on the border will stay the way

:05:27.:05:28.

they are because the Republic of Ireland and the UK will come

:05:29.:05:31.

to an agreement, as countries across Europe had their own

:05:32.:05:33.

agreements with each other before the EU existed.

:05:34.:05:37.

In surveys, people from Northern Ireland say they are more

:05:38.:05:43.

likely to support the EU than people living in other parts of the UK.

:05:44.:05:46.

That's also true of the pupils I have been speaking to today.

:05:47.:05:49.

In other areas of the UK, it's much closer

:05:50.:05:51.

And it is the vote from the whole of the UK that will

:05:52.:05:56.

That's it for the morning, Newsround's back with Hayley

:05:57.:06:01.
