fireworks from a private yacht caused the blaze. the prime minister has accused the reform uk party leader, nigel farage, of playing into president putin's hands, by saying that the west provoked russia's invasion of ukraine. rishi sunakjoined other politicians in condemning mr farage�*s comments. iran's supreme court has overturned the death sentence of the rapper toomaj salehi and ordered a retrial. he was charged for supporting the twenty—twenty—two anti—government protests, which began over the death of mahsa amini in police custody. hello and welcome to sportsday. portugal take advantage of a turkey mix—up with a place in the last 16 in their sights.

scotland look ahead to tomorrow's match with hungary knowing it's win or bust. while england despite being in a strong position are under increasing pressure to perform. also coming up on sportsday... marcus smith stars as england cruise pastjapan in tokyo. gloucester—hartpury come from behind to secure back—to—back premiership titles. and olympic qualifying continues, where we'll have the latest on those vying for a spot in paris. earlier, georgia, the lowest—ranked side

portugal are through to the knockout stages of the european championships after beating turkey. earlier, georgia, the lowest—ranked side in the tournament, claimed a first ever point in a major tournament with a 1—1 draw against the czech republic. patrick gearey was watching. turkey have never played in a tournament but they have made this when their own. they found a current coming on the other direction. portugal one of the favourites, awash with talent. find portugal one of the favourites, awash with talent.— portugal one of the favourites, awash with talent. and there is bernardo silva. _ awash with talent. and there is bernardo silva. such _ awash with talent. and there is bernardo silva. such is - awash with talent. and there is bernardo silva. such is their i awash with talent. and there is - bernardo silva. such is their depth, sort -- bernardo silva. such is their depth, sport -- portugal — bernardo silva. such is their depth, sport -- portugal can _ bernardo silva. such is their depth, sport -- portugal can score - bernardo silva. such is their depth, sport -- portugal can score from i sport —— portugal can score from anywhere, even apparently when they are no any other ball. this mistake from turkey was beyond rescue. and turkish hospitality did not end there. somehow they allowed cristiano ronaldo in, who might have

scored, but instead gave it to bruno fernandes. it was generous but he knows there will be other chances. portugal are into the last 16. earlier in the group, the freewheeling georgia took the midday train to the stadium in hamburg needing at least a point against czech republic or gave them a hand in the first half, or an arm to be specific. penalty. and a huge moment for georgia. at a joy for georgia. for georgia. at a 'o for geora ia. . at a joy for georgia. the excitement could not last- _ at a joy for georgia. the excitement could not last. czech _ at a joy for georgia. the excitement could not last. czech republic- could not last. czech republic equalising in the second half. a tap in full it. his nation had found a repeatable form enough. minutes later they should have had the lead. georgia were barely able to get up the pitch until the final moments of stoppage time. he

the pitch until the final moments of stowage time-— a stoppage time. he has missed it. a sickenin: stoppage time. he has missed it. a sickening frustration _ stoppage time. he has missed it. a sickening frustration and _ stoppage time. he has missed it. a sickening frustration and yet - stoppage time. he has missed it. a sickening frustration and yet a - sickening frustration and yet a glimmer of hope. that is all georgia need. scotland take on hungary tomorrow as they aim to progress to the knockouts at a major tournament for the first time. jane dougall has more. on paper this should be the easiest game so far for scotland but in tournament football, ranking and form can go out of the window. scotland have been besieged with injuries. kieran tierney had to be stretchered off during their draw against switzerland. he has already gone home. he has a hamstring problem. that is a blow for scotland. if they do not win tomorrow against hungary, they are going home. and their dream of going through the knockouts be over. no pressure on the strikers. earlier we spoke to che adams

who said he and the whole team are aware of what they have to do and what it will mean they do it. everyone knows what is at stake. easing expectations at the minute but everyone knows the job, what we have got to do. and we arejust looking forward to embracing every single minute of it. but standing in the way is hungary. although they are bottom of the group after losing their opening two greens. there are some recognisable names in their squad. stiles of sunderland was injured for the opening two games. but he is expected to be available for the scotland match and there is andy robertson of scotland up against dominik szoboszlai. it would be typically scottish to not do as well against arguably

the easiest team in the group. let's hope hungary are not used to these damp conditions as much as scotland are. england have come in for heavy criticism since their 1—1 draw against denmark on thursday. gareth southgate's side sit top of group c with their final game of the opening phase against slovenia on tuesday, and qualification to the last 16 appearing to be on the cards. so how has the mood among the playing group been given the outside noise? i put this to our football reporter alex howell who's in germany following the squad. there has been lots of reaction and criticism really to the first two performances from england, even though they are top of the group, especially after that draw with denmark. gareth southgate came out after the game and he said the players were not able to do what they wanted to do or did not control possession as well as they would have liked. harry kane after the match said they were not 100% sure what to do when they were in possession.

a little bit of confusion without the ball as well. one player who came on in that match and also featured in the first game is west ham forward jared bowen. he has been speaking about the mood and reaction in the england camp. it is really high and we try not to get involved in the outside world because what we have is a really tight group and a togetherness and we have sat here with four points and it is the standards we have said that it is not two wins but it is still four points and we as top of the group and in control of our own destiny. there has been a question mark over the fitness of key players. there really has. again, the england manager gareth southgate singh after the draw with denmark that the players were not able to press the ball well enough and that they are actually managing a few physical conditions in this team and if you look actually at the starting line—up, it could be that four

of the players are not as much of it as they would like. kieran trippier at left back has missed nine games towards the back end of the season for newcastle. john stones included in the two games he has played four and has played three, four in two months. bakayo saka missed the last premier league game for arsenal and harry kane missed the last game of the season for bayern munich. the team are not fully fit. it has been affecting how the team is able to put pressure on the opponents as they are trying to win the ball back. novak djokovic is due to arrive at wimbledon on monday but doesn't yet know if he'll be able to compete. the seven—time champion had surgery on his right kneejust 17 days ago after withdrawing from the french open. djokovic says he wants to give himself the best possible chance of playing by practising at the all england club. the tournament gets

underway a week on monday. let's have a quick look at some of the other stories making the headlines today... lando norris pipped max verstappen to pole position at the spanish grand prix. championship leader verstappen had improved on his own fastest time on his final run. but norris crossed the line a few seconds later to beat verstappen�*s time and take his first pole of the year. tom pidcock looks in good form, as he prepares to defend his olympic mountain bike title later this summer. despite a terrible start at crans—montana world cup race, he rode through the field to win the short track event. he goes again in the cross—country tomorrow. on the final day of the royal ascot meeting, cardum made it two wins in two years in the queen elizabeth ii jubilee stakes. he was a surprise 80—1 winner last year, and made it home this year at odds of 14—1, ridden by oisin murphy. and manchester thunder are into netball�*s super league grand final after securing a 63—54 victory over

severn stars. they'll play either loughborough lightning or london pulse. england's summer tour got off to the perfect start with a comfortable 52 points to 17 overjapan. marcus smith was the star man boosting his chances of retaining the number 10 jersey for their upcoming series with new zealand, as nick parrott reports. the national stadium in tokyo has witnessed plenty of historic moments during the olympics and this was another with japan hosting england in a test match for the first time. there was a familiar face for the visitors. eddiejones was sacked by england. he has now returned to the cherry blossoms for a second time. he would have enjoyed seeing his side opening the scoring but the lead lasted less than quarter of an hour. it was hot and humid with players needing breaks but that did not seem to affect the tempo. or marcus smith. the fly—half was still able to show

off an impressive turn of pace. that was his only try but he also kicked eight points and set up henry slade to put the match beyond the reach of japan. the only disappointment was another historic moment, charlie ewels becoming the first player to be sent off twice for england. facing the all blacks in new zealand in a fortnight will be a far sterner test. i expect our performance to improve. we had a session in england before we flew and we have had one proper session injapan and getting over thejet lag, so i think to produce that after a couple of sessions together has been very impressive. but we will need to go up several levels and i expect us to go up several levels when we face new zealand. when you play against a team you have coached it makes it interesting. you know the players

and some of the young players, you want them to do well, but you don't want them to do too well against you. an inexperienced wales side failed to stop the world champions south africa as the springboks were comfortable 111—13 winners at twickenham, their seventh defeat in a row. warren gatland has a tour of australia to now look ahead to, but the more things change the more they stay the same as south africa put five tries past their opponents. george zielinski reports. off the back of losing six straight tests and finishing bottom of the six nations, it is safe to say wales came into the game against the world champions as underdogs. just three minutes in, they were pounced on by the springboks. wales needed a quick response and they got one. sam costelow with a penalty giving them their first points. then they had two players sin bin. rio dyer and then aaron wainwright joining him after illegally stopping a maul.

south africa taking advantage. the yellow card was flying around as much as the players. a south african was then sin binned and wales capitalised. dewi lake scoring in the corner. any hopes of a dramatic welsh comeback were snuffed out five—minute into the restart. a couple of quick tries for the south africans. they then cruised to victory in the end but wales will be encouraged by moments in the match. next up, australia injuly. glasgow warriors have come from behind to beat the bulls in pretoria. they did it the hard way. playing at altitude and coming from 13-0 playing at altitude and coming from 13—0 down. massive relief at the

final whistle, as you would expect. it is the first time a scottish rugby team has won a title in almost a decade. in the women's game, gloucester—hartpury clawed back a 10 point half time deficit to make it back to back titles as they vanquished bristol bears to retain the premiership crown. jo currie has more. they did it the hard way but gloucester are queens of english rugby once again. an edgy opening period was finally brought to life by a finely worked try as bristol found the gaps and then the line. and bristol bears are a team that love possession. a double blow for gloucester but the defending champions looked shell—shocked and needed a spark. it is a captain's try when they needed it the most. in the sandy park sunshine, it was bristol who looked at home. at half—time, shock waves

were being felt in the west country. after the restart, gloucester delivered the perfect response. four unanswered tries to turn a game on its head. from finding themselves ten points behind, they were now 16 points in front. it was some turnaround. bristol simply stunned as the red—and—white juggernaut bulldozed everything in a comeback to remember, the sign of a true champion, the full—time whistle confirming back—to—back titles. the cider will flow long into the night. there's two games in rugby league's super league today. catalans dragons are taking on huddersfield giants right now. they held on to win 22—18. they are now fifth in the table. earlier, there was a dramatic finish as warrington wolves won 211—18 at hull fc, it was all square with two

and a half minutes to go but a great try from matt dufty, his second of the game, clinched it for warrington. india have edged closer to a place in the semi—finals of the t20 world cup after a comfortable victory over bangladesh in super 8s. bangladesh won the toss and put india in to bat and it didn't look the best decision as india made 196 from their 20 overs, with hardik pandya blasting an unbeaten 50 from 27 balls. in reply, bangladesh struggled, losing wickets at regular intervals as they fell 50 runs short of their target with kuldeep yadav taking three wickets. if australia beat afghanistan tomorrow, then they and india will progress to the semifinals from group one. but a surprise win for afghanistan would keep all four sides in contention. west indies hammered the usa by nine—wickets to reignite their hopes of reaching the semifinals. shai hope's 82, including this six to secure victory, leaves them in second place in their super 8s group, with the top two in each group advancing to the quarters.

the olympic opening ceremony is just over a month away in paris and the last of the qualifiers are hoping to secure their places. in budapest bmx freestyle, skateboarding , breaking and sport climbing feature and our correspondent katy gornall can bring us the latest. i tell you what, it has been some day for kieran riley. he is the world champion in bmx freestyle and the european and now he gets to show what he can do at an olympics. he has been competing today in the final and has booked his automatic qualification spot. he did notjust have to battle other riders, he had to battle two of his team—mates as well. he was seventh going into his final run in the standings. and then produced his signature double flair with just five seconds remaining of that second run, to launch himself up the leaderboard into third place, which is where he finished, same as he did in shanghai, the first leg of this qualifying series.

you could tell from his reaction he knew that he had done enough and he was going to the olympics. we caught up with him afterwards. this is a dream come true and i never knew i would have this tree. you spend three years of your life trying to do something and it works out. it is an amazing feeling. it is a turn of weight that i have had to carry around this qualifying series and i have got rid of that and the relief feels amazing. there was less good news for charlotte worthington. he is the raining olympic champion in bmx freestyle. she came into the final in 12 possession knowing that she needed a big performance if he was to climb up the global leaderboard and secure an automatic qualification spot for paris. as it turned out, she finished in tenth but she could still qualify for the olympic games indirectly and that is because there are five quota places available based on results at previous championships. in the coming days, we will know

if the boe as been allocated one of them they have a decision to make as to who they give that play still. here a charlotte worthington after her final talking about the situation. i am a bit in limbo until you get it on paper and it is official. i have to wait until the selection date and see what the deal is with that. and to be sure that we have fully qualified because it is a little bit confusing for everyone still. i am a little bit in limbo but you have to assume that you are going and put your all into training and get back into it as sooner you get home. it is notjust about the bmx, there was also sport climbing, breaking, that starts tomorrow, skateboarding taking place in budapest. in the women's boulder, erin macneice is in a good really good position to qualify. she is into the final tomorrow, finishing third in shanghai.

it is looking good for her as it stands. and sky brown as well, the limpet bronze medallist from tokyo, she is in the final tomorrow in the skateboard. he has been competing in budapest with a brace on her knee after that recent injury. she is taking a risk being here but she says she is really enjoying being back on a skateboard and competition after more than a year out and she is sure to confirm her place in paris after that final tomorrow. and that is when we will find out tomorrow if the sport climbers and the breakers have done enough to keep their olympic dream alive. staying with news from the olympic games and athletes preparing for this summer in paris. sean vendy and ben lane, from milton keynes, have known each other since they were kids and have been badminton doubles partners for 13 years. sean was introduced to the sport at school, and so he and ben have returned the favour, teaching children at a local primary school. our sports reporter,

james burridge, takes up the story. a badminton session with two of great britain's best players. this is how thejourney started for sean vendy. he was introduced to the sport by a former player during a school visit. he fell in love with it and is weeks away from competing in paris. i felt it was really easy to just pick up a racket and go to a club. i kind ofjust liked how multidimensional it is, you are almost never playing the same shots. i like to be a bit different and i thought at the time badminton was a bit different. the pair have been together for 13 years. 2024 is finally the year everything clicked. they have beaten the best in the world and are now into the world top ten. we have played together for 13 years and it is amazing. we have to be on the same page

in order to do that, which is one of our biggest strengths. we have both been working so hard for the last sort of... since we were 18 and started full—time in milton keynes. every single day, you have to try and give it your all and give it 100%. if you don't do that, there is someone you are playing against that will. even before we started playing together, we were really good friends and it is a childhood dream. since we were 11, 12 years old, watching gail emms in athens. it is that kind of thing. that would be insane if we could do that. and all of a sudden, we are going to the olympics, we have been to the olympics, let's do it now. after an hour in the sports hall, it is clear their passion for badminton has attracted plenty of interest. it has been... i don't know how to say,

i am really happy i had i the opportunity to do it. what have you learned today? about paying attention, it is really important. you have got to see where the shot is going. good advice on a day to remember for the schoolchildren. ben and sean already leaving a legacy. the third round of the women's pga championship in underway in seattle. american sarah schmelzel and south korea's amy yang are thejoint leaders on six under par. england's charley hull has just begun herfinal round. she started with an early birdie today, four shots off the lead. england's matt fitzpatrick is back in contention at the travellers championship. his third round of 63 included seven birdies which leaves him five shots off the clubhouse leader, cameron young. before we go, it has finished turkey

0 portugal 3 in dortmund. that means roberto martinez�*s side have sealed top spot in that group and are the third side through to the knockout stages at euro 2024, after hosts germany and spain. belgium are about to head out in the next couple of minutes against romania. romania are top of the group and belgium are bottom. belgium are ranked third in the world and so they will be under pressure. that's all from sportsday. hello there. many of us have seen some warm sunshine today. yesterday, temperatures reached 26 degrees at heathrow airport. today wasn't as warm in the south—east and across east anglia, where we've seen some showers. those showers have been moving away from the east coast. and the change that's coming in next is arriving

in the north—west of the uk, where we're seeing more cloud coming into scotland and northern ireland, that could bring one or two spots of rain. that damp weather, cloudy weather will push down overnight to northern england, wales and the south—west. these areas a bit misty, may well be some hill fog around as well, but either side of that band of cloud we've got clearer skies and typical temperatures, 10 or 11 degrees. it's going to warm up tomorrow. temperatures tomorrow are going to be higher than today. it's the first sign of things starting to heat up over the coming few days. still got that cloudy start, though, for northern england, wales and the south—west. any drizzle won't last long at all. cloud will tend to lift, but spread across to the midlands and eventually into the south—east of england. sunnier skies develop across other parts of england and wales, and plenty of sunshine to come this time for scotland and northern ireland, with light winds. and it will be warmer temperatures, two, three degrees higher than today. we may make 25 degrees in the south—east of england once again. and the pollen levels are still going to be very high for all of the uk but the far

north of scotland. and temperatures will continue to climb as we move into the beginning of next week underneath this area of high pressure, and that's going to keep those weather fronts at bay for the time being towards the north—west. we're going to find a bit of a misty start in the south—west of the uk, sunshine elsewhere. but i think as temperatures rise, so will bubble up the cloud tend to spread it out a little bit into the afternoon as well. but it's continuing to warm up. temperatures higher again on monday, widely the mid 20s, as that heat pushes into scotland and northern ireland, 27 degrees in the south—east of england. now, as we move into tuesday, this weather front will eventually bring a little rain to scotland and northern ireland, but still dry and very warm with some sunshine for england and wales. and the heat is going to continue to build. today temperatures near normal. it's warmer on sunday, but into the early part of next week those temperatures really do climb, and it could be that the heat lasts

a little bit longer before the weather breaks and eventually we get some showers.
