germany are the first side in to the last 16 as the hosts see off hungary in stuttgart. and andy murray's participation at wimbledon is in doubt after he retires injured in his second round match at queens. hello and welcome along to the programme. let's start with football because if scotland are to reach the last 16 at euro 2024, they now need to beat hungary in their final group game — that's after a 1—1 draw with switzerland in cologne. jane dougall was watching. an army of pipers led the way, carrying the hopes of more than 20,000 scotland fans who walked en masse to the stadium in cologne.
1:46 am
inside, a wall of noise, as the players sang their anthem, the passion echoing around the stands. the tartan army willed scotland to turn their tournament around. for a moment it worked — a fumble in the box, but callum mcgregor recovered to set up scott mctominay. mctominay! it is deflected in! scotland lead! it didn't last long. a bad pass and switzerland pounced. the ball was a loose one. shaqiri! what a goal! that is an unbelievable finish. commitment is everything but kieran tierney pushed too hard, clutching at his hamstring and had to be stretchered off. this game is about fine margins.
1:47 am
a perfect delivery from captain andy robertson. it was a teasing one, but the header ricocheted off the post. grant hanley pleading with the heavens and the fans begging for more. time for a nervy last minute winner? robertson sent a header dangerously across the face of goal. not quite. a draw keeps scotland's hopes alive, and the vocal tartan army will follow their heroes as they head to stuttgart to play their last group game on sunday. jane dougal, bbc news, cologne. when we were drawn against the host nation in the opening game, you are looking at the second two games in the group and thinking, maybe that's where our points are going to come from. that's the way it turned out. so everybody was trying to over hype the fact that we had to get something from this game tonight, but the reality was, even if we played well against germany, we probably would've been in a similar position. we have to come to this game to get something to keep us alive
1:48 am
going into the last game. that is what we've done. hosts germany are the first side through to the knock—out stage after they saw off hungary 2—0 in stuttgart. germany scored the opener after 22 minutes. good persistence from ilkay gundogan, who pulled it back forjamal musiala to fire home his second goal of the tournament. gundogan then got on the scoresheet himself, with 23 minutes to play, as he swept home germany's second. 2-0. we want to be the first in our group stage. that's important because we want to win every game. you win every game, you will be the first in the group stage. then we will see. we cannot influence results and the other group so we will see what happened there and we will see. who is next opponent in the knockout stage. today, i am happy with the result, it was a tough game. we are qualified, but it is still one game to go in the group stage. so here's how the group a table looks after those matches.
1:49 am
scotland not out of it yet — a win over hungary on sunday could still earn steve clarke's side a last 16 place. elsewhere on wednesday, albania rescued a late point against croatia, in the opening match of the day. klaus gjasula scored at both ends, including the equaliser to make it 2—2 deep in stoppage time. england are getting ready for their second match of the tournament when they meet denmark on thursday. fans have started gathering in frankfurt. gareth southgate�*s side made a winning start to the campaign when they beat serbia 1—0 on sunday. they scored early through jude bellingham, but found themselves under pressure in the second half. southgate says the squad will have learnt plenty from match day one. we know that we can play better than we did the other day. but i thought the players in what is an incredibly pressurised moment started the game exceptionally well and defended brilliantly throughout the whole game. and i think they will be betterfor that game. i think they will be better for having a game
1:50 am
under their belt is not physically they will be better for having a lot of players having a game and emotionally, there is so much tension from i don't think people can really understand what it is like for young players. i think you have to give them the level of respect that they deserve. obviously, a number of players in the premier league as you have just said, have played a number of years with chris erickson at tottenham and he was in some moments producing magic, you know, at the drop of a hat, so we go into the game fully focused and the three points, you know, we did the other night and hopefully we can like the boss said, play that little bit better in the second half and the nerves have gone a little bit. away fom the euros — nearly nine in 10 women responding to a new survey say they have experienced discrimination while working in football. results in the fourth poll of its kind produced
1:51 am
by women in football also reveal 60% of those who reported the gender—based discrimination say their complaints resulted in no action. but there was overwhelming optimism that opportunities for women in football will improve. disappointed in some ways, not shocked in others. i think what's really interesting about the 89% of women experiencing gender discrimination, we are doing a lot of work, we've gone in basically making sure that people know that this is not normal behaviour. it's not ok. we've tolerated, whether it's the sexist banter and the jokes are the language, the gender stereotyping and things like the outcome of that has just something that women have tolerated for years in society, never mind sports and in particular football. i think there is an element of this, are discrimination levels themselves higher or are people calling it out for what it is and perhaps as years gone by they wouldn't have done that, they would've accepted it? we know speaking to our members it
1:52 am
can be really difficult to have the courage to flag that there has been in issue, perhaps with a colleague or within the environment to have that courage but to then know that there's not really going to be any action taken or even worse that you are not going to be listened to. that is really disheartening. so if that figure increases, i would be most disappointed in that. this is still an industry where women feel excited and passionate to be part of. i think the visibility of more women in media, you know, on the radio and on digital, you know, is really important because it shows it can be done. it is being done and people are paving the way and want to support other women to progress as well. away from football. south africa survived a scare before beating the usa by 18 runs in the first game of the super 8s at the t20 world cup in antigua. the usa won the toss and put south africa into bat. quinton de kock hit a 26—ball half century on the way to helping his side
1:53 am
post their highest score of the tournament so far — 194. in reply an unbeaten 80 from andries gous gave usa hope of a stunning victory. they needed just 28 runs from 12 balls, but south africa held on for the win. england and west indies are the other two sides in group 2. we've got a respectable total on the board, more than respectable total on the board, which gave us an opportunity to put them under pressure with the ball. we've got a couple of early wickets and then andries gous' batting was extremely well and gave them a good chance and it came close in the end. you can never any opposition no matter where, no matter who they are paying for. the us have been playing well. they beat pakistan, so hats off to the way they are playing. now to worrying news for this man. andy murray says he's a doubt for wimbledon after retiring injured in the first set of his second round match at queens.
1:54 am
after showing signs of discomfort in the warm—up murray called for the trainer at the first change of ends and received treatment on his lower back before forfeiting the match at 4—1 down. australian jordan thompson progresses to the quarterfinals. it's not yet clear what the injury means for murray's chances of playing at wimbledon next month. the issue today, it was not the pain that stopped me from playing the match, it was... i had no co—ordination in my legs, so i couldn't move, i couldn't drive up to serve. that's what stopped me from playing. so i have no idea how long it will take for this to get better or what the treatment options are between now and wimbledon, yeah, let's hope that it's going to be ok with some rest and some treatment, but you know, still be able to play. watch this space. just enough time to recap our top story. scotland have kept their hopes of qualifying for the last 16 at the euros.
1:55 am
it was after a 1—1 draw with switzerland. scott mctominay�*s goal was cancelled out by xherdan shakiri for switzerland, but the point means scotland could still qulaiofy if they beat hungary on sunday. cancelled out with a wonderful equaliser for switzerland. many more details on that and all the other stories on the bbc sports website. from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye. hello, there. wednesday was a decent day, right across all four nations. in fact, we saw temperatures in excess of 20 degrees, and we haven't seen that for over a week. but you may have heard a rumour that things are going to get warmerstill, and, infact, into next week we are likely to see temperatures widely into the mid—20s, maybe peaking
1:56 am
as high as 28 celsius somewhere in south—east england. perhaps, for many, that's something to look forward to, but before we get too carried away, let's concentrate on the rest of this week — turning warmer, yes, with some sunny spells, but there will also be some rain pushing into the west. now, we can see the first signs of that through today, with this weak weather front here, but more significant rain waiting in the wings. but for the majority of us, it will be a dry, settled and sunny start, a beautiful start. a line of nuisance cloud, really, from northern england down to wales and south—west england, that could produce the odd spot or two of rain, and some showery dribs and drabs across northern ireland and into southern scotland, with that weakening weather front. to the far north west, temperatures perhaps struggling — 15 degrees, generally, to the north. we're looking at 18—20 celsius, with highest values of 22 celsius, somewhere in the south—east. but it's certainly worth bearing in mind, if you're a hay fever sufferer, well, we are looking at very high pollen levels, quite widely, across the country. now, into friday, ourweather front will continue to push
1:57 am
in from the west. it will start to weaken off as it drifts its away steadily east, but there's likely to be some heavier bursts, particularly across parts of northern ireland, as we go through the day on friday. some showery outbreaks of rain into western scotland, clouding over generally, but central and eastern areas should continue to see some sunshine, and, again, some warmth. we might see high teens, perhaps, in sheltered eastern areas of scotland. highest values, perhaps, of 23 celsius, somewhere in the south—east. now, that weatherfront, as it continues to track its way steadily east, will fragment and weaken, so there is a risk of some cloud, maybe a little bit of drizzle around on saturday, but on the whole, high pressure will build, and the winds are likely to swing around to more of a southwesterly for the second half of the weekend, and it's that southwesterly wind that will drive in this warmer air. so you can see, looking ahead, a lot of dry, settled, sunny weather, and turning increasingly warm. alleluia.
