:00:05. > :00:10.Another Greek election, another scramble to form a coalition

:00:10. > :00:14.government - the country's eurozone bail-out is at stake. The leader of

:00:14. > :00:22.the New Democracy party is in talks right now, but he faces strong

:00:22. > :00:26.opposition over the tough austerity programme.

:00:26. > :00:28.I will make sure that the sacrifices of the Greek people will

:00:28. > :00:37.bring the country back to prosperity.

:00:37. > :00:40.We'll be asking what happens next in the euro crisis. Also tonight...

:00:40. > :00:45.The thousands of children missing from the care system in England, a

:00:45. > :00:49.new report calls for urgent action. It is a scandal that children that

:00:49. > :00:57.we take into care are up in the care system further damaged,

:00:57. > :01:01.further exploited and groomed. Tributes are paid to Tom Maynard,

:01:01. > :01:05.the promising young cricketer found dead after being hit by a train.

:01:05. > :01:15.And Wayne Rooney is back - it is all smiles in the England camp as

:01:15. > :01:37.

:01:37. > :01:40.Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six.

:01:40. > :01:43.Talks are under way in Greece to form a coalition government after

:01:43. > :01:45.yesterday's election failed to deliver an outright winner. The

:01:45. > :01:52.conservative New Democracy party topped the poll with 129 seats,

:01:52. > :01:57.leaving it 22 short of a majority. Its leader, Antonis Samaras, is now

:01:57. > :02:00.in talks to find a coalition partner. There were initial gains

:02:00. > :02:04.on global markets, but they have faded as investors worry that the

:02:04. > :02:14.Greek crisis is far from over. Our Europe Correspondent, Matthew Price,

:02:14. > :02:16.

:02:16. > :02:19.reports now from Athens. His report contains some flash photography.

:02:19. > :02:29.Greeks headed to work today with a new leader, but the same old

:02:29. > :02:46.

:02:46. > :02:50.The conservative, Antonis Samaras, now has to deal with the biggest

:02:50. > :02:55.debt crisis which the country has ever known. I will bring the

:02:55. > :02:59.country back to prosperity. At the President's office, he was asked to

:02:59. > :03:07.form a workable coalition government immediately? It could

:03:07. > :03:10.come within hours. This appointment buys the euros some time. He is

:03:10. > :03:16.likely to continue the policies which Brussels and Berlin believe

:03:16. > :03:21.will bring down a great debt. And yet, the challenges are immense.

:03:21. > :03:26.And the suffering is growing. We found this makeshift clinic run by

:03:26. > :03:30.a charity more used to working in the developing world. The state

:03:30. > :03:35.cuts to hospital funding have been part of the bail-out plan. Under

:03:35. > :03:39.the watchful eye of this ancient Greek physician, from a more

:03:39. > :03:47.prosperous age, today's medical students did not believe that

:03:47. > :03:51.continuing the bail-out policies would work. This recipe has been

:03:51. > :03:55.used for the last two years, it has only made things worse. You're

:03:55. > :04:01.coming to the end of your medical studies - do you think you will

:04:01. > :04:06.stay in the country? It is not a choice any more. We have to work,

:04:06. > :04:09.we cannot be unemployed into our 30s. If the next government sticks

:04:09. > :04:14.to the bail-out agreement, the Health Service will see more

:04:14. > :04:19.hospital closures and more spending cuts. In the next three years,

:04:19. > :04:27.another 150,000 public sector jobs need to go, and VAT on essential

:04:27. > :04:32.goods like food will rise by 6%. Antonis Samaras met the Socialist

:04:32. > :04:37.leader this evening. Together, they would have a majority. Despite

:04:37. > :04:40.German objections, they would try to alter the bail-out agreement.

:04:40. > :04:45.Power may be shifting, but the selection does not change the fact

:04:45. > :04:51.that Greece is hundreds of billions in debt. Let's go live to Athens

:04:51. > :04:56.now and join our Europe editor Gavin Hewitt, who's there. As I was

:04:56. > :05:00.saying earlier, the markets have not been terribly impressed - how

:05:00. > :05:06.much time do you think Greek voters have bought with this election?

:05:07. > :05:10.Well, George, not much, I think, is the answer. The big threat, that

:05:10. > :05:15.Greece would be forced out of the euro, that has been averted for the

:05:15. > :05:19.time being, and the markets like that. But the new government here

:05:19. > :05:23.will have to manage a collapsing economy, whilst trying to enforce

:05:23. > :05:27.and implement new austerity measures. That will not be easy.

:05:27. > :05:32.Already there is talk of further protests here, and of course, the

:05:32. > :05:36.markets do not like that. But this crisis is not just about Greece, it

:05:36. > :05:41.is also about places like Spain, and there was difficult used today

:05:41. > :05:47.about the Spanish economy. Bad loans contained in the Spanish

:05:47. > :05:51.banks reached an 18-year high. The truth is that what has happened

:05:51. > :05:56.here in Greece over the past few days has not settled the essential

:05:56. > :06:00.doubts about the eurozone crisis. There is one big, unanswered

:06:00. > :06:07.question - in the final analysis, what really stands behind the

:06:07. > :06:10.Well, the crisis in Greece is likely to dominate the G20 summit

:06:10. > :06:14.of leading world economies which is getting under way in the Mexican

:06:14. > :06:16.resort of Los Cabos. David Cameron arrived early this morning. With

:06:16. > :06:19.growing signs that uncertainty in the eurozone is hurting the world's

:06:19. > :06:29.major economies, Mr Cameron has called on European leaders to act

:06:29. > :06:34.without delay. The danger is that the Greek people

:06:34. > :06:37.have now made their choice, to stay in the euro, to accept the

:06:37. > :06:42.consequences of what that involves. Those parties that believe that

:06:42. > :06:46.need to get into government and deliver that. Delay is always

:06:46. > :06:49.dangerous in these situations. It is in our interests in Britain that

:06:49. > :06:53.these interests are resolved decisively and swiftly. This is

:06:53. > :07:00.what we are urging. Let's go live to Mexico and join our political

:07:00. > :07:04.editor Nick Robinson, who is in Los Cabos. That message we have just

:07:04. > :07:08.heard, it is one that David Cameron has been plugging away at for some

:07:08. > :07:12.time now? Yes, here we are in the bright hot sunshine of Mexico next

:07:12. > :07:15.to the beach, but the message here has been the same as when it has

:07:15. > :07:19.been cold and wet and summits have been held elsewhere around the

:07:19. > :07:24.world. The message to Greece is, yes, you may have held an election,

:07:24. > :07:28.yes, the crisis has not instantly happened, but no, we have not got a

:07:28. > :07:32.solution, at least until there is a stable Greek government with a plan

:07:32. > :07:36.to meet its austerity measures, and one which can convince the

:07:36. > :07:41.financial markets. So the message to Athens is, take your medicine.

:07:41. > :07:44.The message to Germany, which is writing the prescription, is, you

:07:44. > :07:47.are also going to have to pay the bill. That is a message which I

:07:47. > :07:52.think we will be hearing here in Mexico, not just from the British

:07:52. > :07:58.Prime Minister, but also from the President of the United States. The

:07:58. > :08:03.Chinese and other rich and emerging economies also want this shadow of

:08:03. > :08:08.the eurozone crisis to be lifted. But the feeling I get from the

:08:08. > :08:13.Prime Minister today is that even if measures are taken now, even if

:08:13. > :08:18.the crisis is averted, it may just continue like this for summit after

:08:18. > :08:22.summit, month after month, even year after year. In other words,

:08:22. > :08:26.the big crisis will not happen, but the big resolution will not happen,

:08:26. > :08:36.either, and we will all have to live, or learned to live, with the

:08:36. > :08:36.

:08:36. > :08:41.problems that we have seen in In a damning report, England's care

:08:41. > :08:46.system has been branded not fit for purpose. A group of MPs says

:08:46. > :08:51.vulnerable young people are being systematically let down. It says

:08:51. > :08:53.young people can often be left at the mercy of abusers. I am joined

:08:53. > :08:58.now by our social affairs correspondent, Alison Holt, to

:08:58. > :09:02.explain the main problems. These problems are based on the way the

:09:02. > :09:07.care system is one. This parliamentary group says children

:09:07. > :09:11.who go missing from the care system are being systematically failed,

:09:11. > :09:15.and they are being put in danger. Only last month in Rochdale, nine

:09:15. > :09:18.men were convicted of sexually exploiting girls. Many of those

:09:18. > :09:22.victims were in care. Today's victims were in care. Today's

:09:22. > :09:25.report focuses on children's homes in England, saying many are poor

:09:25. > :09:30.quality and unsuitable. Often, further abuse of children is not

:09:30. > :09:32.picked up. And some of the professionals who should be

:09:32. > :09:35.protecting these vulnerable young people view them as "troublesome,

:09:35. > :09:38.promiscuous or criminal". Many young people are so troubled, they

:09:38. > :09:43.run away. And that's what happened run away. And that's what happened

:09:43. > :09:47.run away. And that's what happened to this teenager.

:09:47. > :09:51.This girl is 14 years old, and she knows how isolated you can feel in

:09:51. > :09:55.care. We have disguised her identity. She was moved away from

:09:55. > :09:59.the area, and the friends she knew. The professionals she had hoped

:09:59. > :10:03.would look after her did not listen and did not seem to care, so she

:10:03. > :10:08.ran away, time and again. She was targeted by men who sexually

:10:08. > :10:12.exploited her. They know that you're vulnerable, because you're

:10:12. > :10:16.unsettled and depressed where you are. And then they kind of like to

:10:16. > :10:20.what you want, but if you refused, like I refused one person before,

:10:20. > :10:24.and I got hit in the face. After that, I could not remember what

:10:24. > :10:28.happened to me until I got brought home. The report is critical of the

:10:28. > :10:32.high number of people sent away from the area they know. 46% of

:10:33. > :10:36.people in homes have been moved out of their borough. This is despite

:10:36. > :10:40.the fact that it increases the chance of them running away. Each

:10:40. > :10:45.year, the police deal with 10,000 reports of children going missing

:10:45. > :10:49.from care. The MPs also say that existing data on runaway children

:10:49. > :10:54.is confusing, and this is one area where they want improvement. It is

:10:54. > :10:59.a scandal that children that we take into care to safeguard them

:10:59. > :11:04.are, in the care system, further damaged, exploited and groomed, I

:11:04. > :11:08.think that is a scandal. It is a system which the MPs say is not fit

:11:08. > :11:11.for purpose. They want an independent investigation into

:11:11. > :11:15.children's homes. At the moment, police are not notified of the

:11:15. > :11:20.location of some homes, and they say that needs to change. And they

:11:20. > :11:23.want local authorities to be rated on how they protect children. Local

:11:23. > :11:28.authorities have parental responsibility for children in care.

:11:28. > :11:31.Many in homes are order, and have led troubled lives. This report

:11:31. > :11:36.concentrates on England, but the difficulties of getting care right

:11:36. > :11:40.for young people with complex needs is found across the UK. It costs an

:11:40. > :11:44.average of �200,000 a year for a child to be in a children's home.

:11:44. > :11:48.Councils point out that there may be a good reason for moving them to

:11:48. > :11:51.a new area. If you have a child who has been a victim of violence or

:11:52. > :11:54.sexual abuse, the last thing you would want to do would be to put

:11:54. > :11:57.them in a children's home just about the corner from the person

:11:57. > :12:02.who has been making them a victim. Often, councils will be looking to

:12:02. > :12:06.break the cycle of abuse by finding somewhere for them to make a new

:12:06. > :12:11.start, away from the abuser. Now, right says the failings that have

:12:11. > :12:17.been highlighted are unacceptable. The Government will be setting out

:12:17. > :12:20.its plans for reform in the next few weeks. The trial of a mother

:12:20. > :12:24.and father accused of murdering their 17-year-old daughter,

:12:24. > :12:29.Shafilea Ahmed, has been told how one younger sister wrote what the

:12:29. > :12:33.prosecution described as letters, which she passed to a friend.

:12:33. > :12:37.Mevish Ahmed said they were fiction, about a girl being killed by her

:12:37. > :12:41.parents and the body being placed in a suitcase. This report from

:12:41. > :12:44.Chester Crown Court, and Judith Moritz. 21-year-old Mevish Ahmed

:12:44. > :12:51.came to court today to be questioned about what she knew of

:12:51. > :12:56.her sister's murder. Shafilea Ahmed was 17 when it is said she was

:12:56. > :13:00.killed for bringing shame upon her family. Another sister, Alesha, has

:13:00. > :13:05.previously told the court that she and her siblings saw their parents

:13:05. > :13:10.murdered a teenager. It is alleged that Iftikhar and Farzana Ahmed

:13:10. > :13:15.suffocated their daughter, by stuffing a plastic bag in her mouth.

:13:15. > :13:19.Shafilea is said to have been murdered on 11th September 2003.

:13:19. > :13:23.Today, Mevish Ahmed said that was the last day she had seen her

:13:23. > :13:32.sister alive. The court heard that five years later, she had written

:13:32. > :13:35.about it in jottings which she had given to a friend, Shahin Munir.

:13:35. > :13:39.The prosecution asked her if she knew that the letters she had

:13:39. > :13:44.written to her friend had more recently been shown to the police.

:13:44. > :13:48.Mevish Ahmed replied, they are not letters about my sister's death,

:13:48. > :13:52.they are free writing, a fiction. The court heard another excerpt

:13:52. > :13:59.from her writings, in which she had written, the same thing is going to

:13:59. > :14:03.happen to me. I have got a feeling - not a feeling, actually, I am

:14:03. > :14:07.100% certain. I heard them saying it, I am next. Whenever she was

:14:07. > :14:11.asked whether there was any truth in what she had written, she

:14:11. > :14:14.replied by saying she had made it all up, it was just a story. The

:14:14. > :14:16.prosecution asked her, what made you want to make a story out of

:14:16. > :14:20.you want to make a story out of this terrible family tragedy? She

:14:21. > :14:25.replied, I did not see any harm in it, it was just free writing, I did

:14:25. > :14:32.not think. She was asked, are you saying you did this for a bit of

:14:32. > :14:36.fun? The response came, yes, if that is what you want to call it.

:14:36. > :14:40.Mevish Ahmed was told to return to court tomorrow to continue her

:14:40. > :14:43.evidence. Her parents deny evidence. Her parents deny

:14:43. > :14:46.murdering her sister Shafilea. Tributes have been paid to the

:14:46. > :14:49.Surrey cricketer Tom Maynard, who has died after being hit by a

:14:49. > :14:51.London Underground train in the early hours of this morning. The

:14:51. > :15:01.23-year-old batsman was described by his club as "incredibly

:15:01. > :15:05.

:15:05. > :15:09.talented". Let's get more from our George, details about exactly what

:15:09. > :15:12.happened here early this morning are still sketchy. The tragic

:15:12. > :15:15.consequences are that English cricket's lost one of its brightest

:15:15. > :15:20.young stars. Tom Maynard's been described as one

:15:20. > :15:24.of the most promising batsmen of his generation, 23 years old it was

:15:24. > :15:28.seen as just a matter of time before he earned a place in the

:15:28. > :15:32.England team. Only last week, he was in a

:15:32. > :15:37.television studio signing a bat on a cricket programme.

:15:37. > :15:43.It's an absolute tragedy. I've known Tom since he was a little boy

:15:43. > :15:48.and our hearts and - go out to Sue and Matthew his parents and his

:15:48. > :15:51.friends and family. Tom was an incredibly talented cricketer and

:15:51. > :15:56.increedibly likeable young man as well who had the world at his feet

:15:56. > :16:00.and it's just a tragedy. Tom Maynard's body was found on the

:16:01. > :16:04.tube track outside Wimbledon Park Station shortly after 5 o'clock

:16:04. > :16:08.this morning. An ambulance was called here, but

:16:08. > :16:12.Tom Maynard was pronounced dead at the scene. Police say that an hour

:16:12. > :16:16.earlier, a man fitting his description had run off when they'd

:16:17. > :16:20.stopped his car nearby after watching it being driven eratically.

:16:20. > :16:26.One local shopkeeper saw the aftermath of the incident when hi

:16:26. > :16:30.arrived at work. I came at 4.45, I was doing my papers and all of a

:16:30. > :16:33.sudden saw the emergency vehicles, police cars and fire brigades and

:16:33. > :16:37.everybody. They are just going down and I

:16:37. > :16:41.didn't know what was happening because they closed the station.

:16:41. > :16:46.Tom Maynard had spent the first part of his career with Glamorgan

:16:46. > :16:50.where his father Matthew was coach. He moved to Surrey at the start of

:16:50. > :16:54.last season. At Surrey's home, the Oval today, flags flew at half-mast.

:16:54. > :16:59.The team's match on Wednesday against Hampshire has been

:16:59. > :17:03.postponed. Many of England's best-known

:17:03. > :17:06.cricketers have paid tribute to Tom Maynard. Michael Vaughan said on

:17:06. > :17:11.Twitter, someone with so much talent and so much to look forward

:17:11. > :17:16.to. Why is life so cruel sometimes? George.

:17:16. > :17:19.Thank you. The time is 6.17. Our top story tonight: The leader of

:17:19. > :17:24.Greece's New Democracy party is in talks to form a coalition

:17:24. > :17:29.Government. But he faces opposition over his programme for austerity.

:17:29. > :17:34.And England's players size up the surface ahead of tomorrow's clash

:17:34. > :17:44.against Ukraine. And in BBC London:

:17:44. > :17:56.

:17:56. > :18:01.Both candidates in Egypt's presidential election, the former

:18:01. > :18:04.Prime Minister, Ahmed Shafiq and Mohamed Morsi are claiming victory.

:18:04. > :18:08.The result will not be known until Thursday at the earliest. This

:18:08. > :18:11.morning, the country's Military Council which took power after last

:18:11. > :18:14.year's protest in Tahrir Square gave itself sweeping powers,

:18:14. > :18:19.raising fears over whether it really is willing to hand over

:18:19. > :18:25.power to a new president. Our Cairo correspondent, Jon Leyne joins us

:18:25. > :18:29.now from Tahrir Square. It does look as if Mohamed Morsi

:18:29. > :18:33.will be Egypt's next president. Just as he was learning that news,

:18:33. > :18:37.the military announced sweeping new powers giving them more power and

:18:37. > :18:43.taking away the powers of the President. His supporters here in

:18:43. > :18:47.central Cairo don't know whether to be happy, angry or both.

:18:47. > :18:50.Victory celebrations in Tahrir Square.

:18:50. > :18:53.These supporters of Mohammed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood believe

:18:53. > :18:58.he's won the race to become the next President of Egypt.

:18:58. > :19:01.But they're also furious that just before the transition to a civilian

:19:01. > :19:06.President, Egypt's military rulers have given themselves sweeping

:19:06. > :19:08.powers. Some are even calling it a military

:19:09. > :19:13.coup. We are very angry because this is not a responsibility to

:19:13. > :19:19.decide that for us. This is the responsibility of the President,

:19:19. > :19:23.for the Parliament, they can't make laws now at least after the power

:19:23. > :19:26.went away from them. The Parliament that Egyptians vote

:19:26. > :19:31.ford with such enthusiasm last year has been dissolved.

:19:31. > :19:37.Since last Friday, there have been soldiers outside preventing MPs

:19:37. > :19:40.from getting in. We elect a President, suddenly we no longer

:19:40. > :19:44.have a Parliament and it's estimated to take four to six

:19:44. > :19:48.months before we have a Parliament again. We are not exactly in square

:19:48. > :19:52.one, but not far from there. Today, the military rulers insisted

:19:52. > :19:56.they were committed to giving up power. But they've kept to

:19:56. > :20:01.themselves the right the make laws and to control the budget and

:20:01. > :20:05.guaranteed themselves jobs for life. With counting almost complete,

:20:05. > :20:11.Egyptian media estimate that the Muslim Brotherhood candidate is

:20:11. > :20:17.narrowly but clearly ahead with 52% of the vote. That would give Vic

:20:17. > :20:22.Troy Mohamed Morsi, though retired general Ahmed Shafiq disputes the

:20:28. > :20:34.politics and want the country to get back to normal.

:20:34. > :20:38.It's toim to go back to work. We don't need to go to Tahrir again.

:20:39. > :20:42.Enough of that. -- time to go back to work. The key is whether the new

:20:42. > :20:46.government can tempt back the tourists and foreign investment.

:20:46. > :20:51.Only with that prosperity will the country become truly stable once

:20:51. > :20:55.again. So maybe we are heading for more confrontation or just maybe

:20:55. > :20:59.this is a compromise that Egyptians can just about live with.

:20:59. > :21:02.Back to you in London. Thank you. A Government report into

:21:02. > :21:06.the PIP breast implant scandal which has affected nearly 50,000

:21:06. > :21:10.women in the UK has concluded they are not a long-term health risk,

:21:10. > :21:14.but the implants made by a foreign. Firm using low-grade silicone are

:21:14. > :21:19.twice as likely to rupture as other implants. Our Medical Correspondent,

:21:20. > :21:24.Fergus Walsh, reports. After months of uncertainty, a firm

:21:24. > :21:28.conclusion from a British expert review team. PIP implants do not

:21:28. > :21:33.pose a long-term health risk. Examination of samples across the

:21:33. > :21:38.world found the unauthorised gel filler used was chemically very

:21:39. > :21:43.similar to medical grade silicone. It says the implants are not toxic,

:21:43. > :21:48.nor carcinogenic, but it found PIPs do have double the rupture rate of

:21:48. > :21:52.other implants. This can cause local reactions, such as swollen

:21:52. > :21:56.lymph glands and tenderness, but not long-term health problems. The

:21:56. > :22:01.review team accepts many women will remain anxious.

:22:01. > :22:04.They'll be disappointed that we have breast implants that are

:22:04. > :22:08.clearly weaker than others. I guess the good news is that the gel

:22:08. > :22:13.inside when it leaks out is not toxic. I think whenever a good

:22:13. > :22:19.system in place in the NHS now to look after women who're worried.

:22:19. > :22:22.Gemma Pepper is one of 47,000 British women with PIP implants.

:22:22. > :22:28.She was desperately worried about what the filler might do to her

:22:28. > :22:32.health but is now greatly relieved. Women are still really worried,

:22:32. > :22:37.there's panic out there. I'm hoping the report, once people have looked

:22:37. > :22:41.into it, they'll calm down and realise that it's a lot safer than

:22:41. > :22:46.we initially thought. The scandal became major news in December when

:22:46. > :22:52.the French government advised all women there with PIP implants to

:22:52. > :22:56.have surgery to remove them as a precaution. That's at odds with the

:22:56. > :23:01.official advice here, routine removal is unnecessary.

:23:01. > :23:05.Most women with PIP implants had their surgery privately. Of those,

:23:05. > :23:10.around 500 have so far asked the NHS to remove them. This is being

:23:10. > :23:15.offered free throughout the UK. In Wales, private patients are also

:23:15. > :23:21.being offered free replacements. In future, many women may decide to

:23:21. > :23:26.keep their PIP implants while remaining on the alert for symptoms

:23:26. > :23:28.of a rupture. A review of cos metzic surgery which could see

:23:28. > :23:35.tighter restrictions on the industry is now under way --

:23:35. > :23:38.cosmetic. The aim is to ensure a similar scandal never happens again.

:23:38. > :23:41.In football, England's players have been going through their final

:23:41. > :23:45.paces ahead of tomorrow's key clash with Ukraine. It's a match they

:23:45. > :23:49.can't afford to lose if they're to be sure of progressing to the

:23:49. > :23:56.quarter-finals of Euro 2012. Let's go live now to our sports

:23:56. > :24:00.correspondent Dan Roan who's inside the Donbass stadium in Donetsk. Dan.

:24:00. > :24:04.Ever since Wayne Rooney was sent off against Montenegro in October

:24:04. > :24:07.and handed a two-match ban, England fans have been looking forward to

:24:07. > :24:12.this moment. His return after suspension seems perfectly timed

:24:12. > :24:15.but first England must get past the co-hosts and their own star striker.

:24:15. > :24:20.His arrival at the Euros has been a belated one, forced to sit and

:24:20. > :24:24.watch. But Wayne's wait is almost over and England now hope their

:24:24. > :24:27.striker and talisman can go from mere spectator to match-winning

:24:27. > :24:32.spectacle. In order to fulfil that expectation, Rooney needs to end

:24:32. > :24:38.another long wait for a goal at a may skwhror tournament -- major

:24:38. > :24:41.tournament. This was the last one he scored in 2004. He's a world

:24:41. > :24:46.class player, I know Wayne quite well and I can see it in his eyes

:24:46. > :24:50.that he's itching to get out there and perform and hopefully he can

:24:50. > :24:54.play really well. But standing in England's way are

:24:54. > :24:57.the co-hosts. This open training session in Donetsk proof of the

:24:57. > :25:01.passion and fervour that Ukraine's national side has generated here.

:25:01. > :25:05.This is a country on the edge of its seat. The biggest game in this

:25:05. > :25:12.young nation's history and it's continued involvement in its very

:25:12. > :25:20.own tournament on the line. Ukraine's also sweating over the

:25:20. > :25:24.participation of this man, Andre Schevchenko, goal-scorer, Captain

:25:24. > :25:29.and icon, his fighting what could be the last of his career.

:25:29. > :25:36.REPORTER: Are the nation anxious? You have to worry that he'll play,

:25:36. > :25:40.yes. He's a God for football here. Schevchenko is a symbol of this

:25:40. > :25:43.team. Encouragingly for Ukraine, the man

:25:43. > :25:47.himself managed to train this afternoon. Meanwhile, back in Kiev,

:25:47. > :25:52.the person who perhaps knows Schevchenko best, the coach who

:25:52. > :25:57.discovered him aged just nine, believes the striker's greatest

:25:57. > :26:01.asset has always been simply his desire to play. TRANSLATION:

:26:01. > :26:04.Schevchenko's a professional but his qualitys are the reason I

:26:04. > :26:08.ininvited him to join the academy, his drive and will. He's a fighter

:26:08. > :26:11.and will do everything he can to win this match. England will be

:26:11. > :26:15.relieved that their only injury doubt, Walcott, has been declared

:26:15. > :26:21.fit. The winger came on and turned the game against Sweden, scoring

:26:21. > :26:24.and then setting up this goal for Welbeck, a subtle finish which

:26:25. > :26:27.spark add flicker of optimism. Suddenly England is beginning to

:26:27. > :26:30.expect once again. Because of a downpour here in

:26:30. > :26:34.Donetsk a few days ago, England weren't able to train here, they

:26:34. > :26:38.had to play instead at their base in Krakow, but come tomorrow night,

:26:38. > :26:43.Wayne Rooney will be unleashed against Ukraine and one suspects

:26:43. > :26:47.he's eager to make up for lost time. he's eager to make up for lost time.

:26:47. > :26:50.Thank you. Time for the weather now. Get the bunting out because there

:26:50. > :26:54.are reasons to be cheerful, but not just yet. Across Northern Ireland,

:26:54. > :26:59.rain is the name of the game through the afternoon. Some heavy

:26:59. > :27:02.and thundery downpours with nasty conditions, no doubt about it.

:27:02. > :27:07.Northern Ireland's copped most of the showers. Elsewhere, it's been a

:27:07. > :27:11.fine day for the most part and will stay that way. The showers will

:27:11. > :27:16.progress into Scotland, sharp bursts of rain overnight. Mist and

:27:16. > :27:18.low cloud forming as we end the night. Things cool down.

:27:18. > :27:24.Particularly chilly across the far north of Scotland. A fresh start

:27:24. > :27:29.tomorrow but a fine day, almost nationwide. We will see sharp

:27:29. > :27:34.showers crossing Scotland west-to- east. I wouldn't rule out thunder

:27:34. > :27:37.here. Showers elsewhere will be isolated and most have a lovely day.

:27:37. > :27:40.Mid afternoon, a scattering of showers eastern Scotland, further

:27:40. > :27:45.west drying out. One or two showers for Northern Ireland but not as

:27:45. > :27:48.heavy as today. Any showers through England and Wales hardly worthy of

:27:48. > :27:53.a mention, although cloud will build up. Some of the best of the

:27:53. > :27:57.sunshine around the coastal fringes. Inland, pleasantly warm, mid to

:27:57. > :28:00.high teens, possibly up to 20, 21 in the south-east. If you are

:28:00. > :28:04.heading to Ascot, the winds won't be studio strong so you went have

:28:04. > :28:08.to hold on to your hats. Looking fine on Tuesday and Wednesday. You

:28:08. > :28:13.can watch the action live on BBC One of course. Wednesday will be

:28:13. > :28:18.another beautiful day. Again some cloud building up inland. Not

:28:18. > :28:23.promising wall-to-wall sunshine but any showers will be very isolated,

:28:23. > :28:26.dry and fine and warm, maybe up to 24 degrees. A window of fine

:28:26. > :28:29.weather through this week, it will almost feel like June! Make the

:28:29. > :28:33.most of it because back to square one by the end of the week.

:28:33. > :28:36.Thank you very much. A reminder of the main news: The
