6:42 pm
thanks, chetan. we'll be back at wimbledon before the end of the programme, but let's turn our attentions to the euros now, a day out from the quarterfinals getting under way! tomorrow, it's a blockbuster day — with spain taking on hosts germany, while portugal face france. and then, england's game with switzerland follows on saturday evening, in dusseldorf. england will be without the suspended marc guehi, and manager gareth southgate could field three centre backs against the swiss. as they did in training earlier this week. one of them is very likely to be john stones, but he refused to be swayed on the rumours. phil two different sides to the game, two different outlooks over the years especially in the next opposition was as well, it causes problems opposition was as well, it causes --roblem ., ., , problems and we are very fluent in both that comes _ problems and we are very fluent in both that comes down _ problems and we are very fluent in both that comes down to us - problems and we are very fluent in both that comes down to us when | problems and we are very fluent in i both that comes down to us when we get on the pitch where to put it into practice. we trained with everyone in training, different

positions. different scenarios, as well. so, it's that it's a good thing for us will be ready to play and see how each of plays. and see how each other plays. so england ready for what lies in store. but what sort of challenge will switzerland pose? england very much have the better record, in matches between the sides. but as andy swiss reports, they'll come up against side who've knocked out the defending champions, and now looking to cause another upset. there the small nation making a big noise. switzerland have been one of the surprises of these euros and just 19th in the world rankings which would not casted. —— just it. they knocked out the champions italy and now they're fancier and docile dorf believe england are next.

6:46 pm
neville. i understand your point but i have a desire and a passion with football and a love for football and it's what i've known since i was a baby and the last months of been very strange for me since january, it's been a strange time and being at home, but a bit of tv work and stuff like that but i want to get backin stuff like that but i want to get back in management. while former manchester united striker wayne rooney is starting a newjob, the current united boss, erik ten hag, has today extended his stay at old trafford. the dutchman, who led united to fa cup success last season, will remain in charge until 2026. his previous contract had a year to run with the option to extend for a further year, which has now been activated. although united spoke to a number of prospective candidates for the managerial role, both before and after the wembley showpiece, they eventually concluded ten hag was the right man for thejob. leicester city's appeal against the premier league's profit
6:47 pm
and sustainability charge has been rejected by an independent commission. leicester, who returned to the premier league at the first attempt by winning the championship last season, were charged in march for an alleged breach of the rules. the commission has ruled the top flight can punish the club for an alleged breach for the three seasons leading up to 2022—23. leicester are appealing against the latest ruling. let's have a quick look at some of the other football stories today. fran kirby is set to sign for brighton. after her chelsea contract expired. she is widely regarded as one of england's greatest female players and won five successive wsl titles with chelsea before her departure. david raya has completed a permanent transfer to arsenal. he spent last season on loan at the emirates from brentford, with arsenal chosing to activate a 27 million pound option to keep him at the club. wolves captain max kilman is on the verge ofjoining west ham, who have bid 40 million pounds for the defender, after seeing an offer of 25 million rejected last month. it will see him reunited with former
6:48 pm
boss julen lopetegui there was to be no repeat of yesterday's record 35th stage win for mark cavendish at the tour de france — although stage 6 did end in a bunch sprint in dijon. cavendish had a mechanical problem with his bike midway through the stage and had to use up valuable energy rejoining the peloton. he finished 20th in the main bunch without contesting the final sprint — which was close, dutch rider dylan groenewegen just edged out yasper phillipsen of belgium. tadday pogarcher keeps the yellow jersey and his 45—seconds race lead. let's stay with cycling because team gb have named their 30—strong team of cyclists for the paris 0lympics — with just over 3 weeks to go now until the games begin. defending bmx freestyle champion charlotte worthington is a part of the squad, despite not qualifying directly at the recent qualifier series in budapest. for the full squad, head over to the bbc sport website. laura roper will be going

6:52 pm
hopefully we'll get lucky enough after the olympics, we can have our family. jo currie with that report there. now, james anderson will retire from test cricket next week as its greatest fast bowler. but there's still the odd regret heading into a record 188th match for england in the longest format of the game. statistically, his 700 test wickets also can't be matched by any other pace bowler in history. but anderson has admitted to the bbc�*s tail—enders podcast he would have liked three of them to come in consecutive balls. something he's never done but close friends and team—mates have... bangs on about it quite a lot enjoys have that come i never got test 100 and also close at that i was getting in there but that kid who played at burnley, if you get a test we could, i'd have been absolutely buzzing with it to get as many as they had
6:53 pm
and to be involved in ruins many test victories as i have, i can't really, it still doesn't feel real, it still feels strange and ensuring the years to come to the sinking a little bit more when i look back in my career would have achieved because i never really sat down and thought about what games they played and would consider a bus been thinking about the next game in the future and so, i think once i finish playing and i have a bit of time on my hands. you're up to date with everything here at the bbc sport centre — now let's head back to chetan, at wimbledon, as the day's action continues. chetan. the feels like there's so much more to come even later this evening, a day we have seen the british number one go out to the number two harriet dart it of record number one at the moment, we've been talking about
6:54 pm
this at the start of the programme, jack up against nori why he was such a time was number one putjackjack draper it's not been happening much for him he needs two sets in five games and it is as tight as it can be in that third set and cam norrie, china gives over the line playing like he has a point to prove and hoping to serve and he's got on and fight his way back into the match and we shall wait and see. it has been happening here today because we have had some epic matches right me and jessica out beaten by the chinese qualifier and that is significant because harriet dart will play her for the second week of wimbledon and we have had an epic in terms of veterans in age, the late
6:55 pm
30s, having carried over with them when it and going through, madison, collins, they put out for the all through and then shall we take you to centre, andy murray, i was trying to delay time and get andy murray walking on sports table we may not quite get there because of the majesty of centre court in the corner of my eyes, roger federer is there and judy murray is there in a couple of the children or their their murmurings of something tomorrow andy murray's remarkable career playing at the end for the first time at a grand slam and playing in the men's doubles against the australians and it will not be the australians and it will not be the final time for murray because he is going to be playing the mixed doubles but you can see the
6:56 pm
excitement building on the centre court in the next two minutes, and he should be stepping out with jamie for the doubles match expected to be the final appearance at wimbledon in the final appearance at wimbledon in the retirement, will not use that one yet and to come this year as well, in terms of wimbledon, this could be at your be able to keep across that on the bbc news in terms of the battle of the brits today, we have in mother to come tomorrow against maria ever going to see a really busy week which will continue but for me in the sports day team here at wimbledon tonight, that is all from us and thank you for being with us. good night. hello there. many of us have seen some decent spells ofjuly sunshine today. however, there have been lots of showers, particularly across the northern half of the uk
6:57 pm
and especially in western scotland where some of those downpours really quite heavy, gusty winds gusting into the 40s of miles an hour and those temperatures rubbish forjuly. glasgow saw temperatures around 14 degrees through the afternoon. the average of this time of the year is 19 degrees. and this coolish run of weather is going to continue through friday and into the weekend, beyond as well. suppose where thejuly sunshine comes out, it is still going to feel 0k. it's just temperatures be a little bit lower than normal. now looking at the weather picture overnight tonight, the rain continues for western scotland, driven in by those blustery winds. further southwards, we've got a new band of rain that starts to push into southern england, perhaps affecting parts of southern wales and temperatures broadly similar to those of last night. now, this area of rain that we have across the south of england friday will actually develop into a new area of low pressure by the time we get to saturday.
6:58 pm
what all this means is we do have more rain on the way. the rain initially across southern parts of england, maybe the south wales area, and perhaps wriggling into east anglia through the day. further north, it's a much brighter day for scotland, northern ireland, northern england. the winds a good deal lighter. there'll be much more in the way of sunshine and temperatures a couple of degrees higher. so we are ticking lots of boxes here. however, there is still a risk of a few passing showers affecting northern areas. not as many, though, as we've seen today on into saturday, that low pressure really winds up. and so we've got more general outbreaks of rain across parts of scotland, central and eastern england, cold winds coming down the north sea, probably the best of the driest and sunniest weather, will be across wales and south west england. a few showers this time affecting northern ireland and our temperatures 18 in london. average forjuly is 24. so again we are getting short changed, probably starting off the day on sunday. dry with some sunshine, but sunday is a showery day. the showers become quite widespread, some of them turning heavy and thundery come the afternoon and little change with the temperatures. i'm afraid once again it will be relatively cool forjuly, and that kind of pattern of cool
6:59 pm
and settled weather is set to continue through much of next week as well. that's the latest. bye. it's 7pm in london this is this world today with lucy grey. one of the uk's biggest tv stars — holly willoughby thanks police,
