England's win against Tunisia last night in their first match certainly went down well with fans at the O2 Academy venue in Leeds yesterday evening.

Here are the celebrations after Harry Kane's second goal which saw the match end Tunisia 1-2 England - and here's hoping there are similar celebrations to come:

His comments were made as Sheffield City Council considers if the club's sexual entertainment venue licence should be renewed.

Mr Specht said about 40 entertainers are employed within the club and many have been there for a decade.

There have been hundreds of objections to the licence, including from neighbours Sheffield Hallam University.

Its licence was renewed in April 2017 despite almost 100 objections, many on the grounds of gender inequality.

Sheffield City Council has received more than 150 objections to the club's licence application this year.

Writing in the Daily Telegraph, external, he said the government's approach is out of date, pointing to a 12-year-old with epilepsy who was admitted to hospital after his medical cannabis oil was confiscated.

The former Conservative leader says: "The law is indefensible and beyond ridiculous."

Lord Hague said licensing cannabis for medical use would be a "step forward", but also said the Conservatives should be as "bold" as Canada where state-regulated recreational consumption is being considered.

The government is creating an expert panel to look into individual cases.
