and as james anderson wins his final cap, england says this summer is all about winning the ashes even though they are 18 months away. welcome along. we have our first finalist at the european championship in germany. spain maintaining the 100% record at the tournament, beating france 2—1 in munich but they had to come from behind with the equaliser making history. lamine yamal, the 16—year—old forward, with an exquisite strike to become the youngest goalscorer at any major championship. our reporter was

watching the match. like spain against france in the euro semi—final. for kylian mbappe day it was time to take the mask off and fix his field attack. before this, france had scored just two times and this was the penalty they had to wake and freefall but in spain's midfield is that miracle talent. this is barcelona's youngest ever player, the schoolboy who brought his homework to germany, lamine yamal, now a star of the game.

his team on top, the first half was frantic. jane changed its direction. now, france found goals hard to come by again. the second half slipped by and spain held through.— spain held through. spain is in the final of— spain held through. spain is in the final of euro _ spain held through. spain is in the final of euro 2024! - spain held through. spain is in the final of euro 2024! they i the final of euro 2024! they have been _ the final of euro 2024! they have been the _ the final of euro 2024! they have been the euros - the final of euro 2024! they l have been the euros rescoring sensation and the final is in berlin against the netherlands or england. both teams have arrived in dortmund. england's progressed to the last four saw them take into extra time by slovakia. a penalty shootout against switzerland. it has been far from convincing but manager gareth southgate has got a fully fit squad to choose from. he says the team spirit has never been better despite their below par performances so far. at the beginning of the tournament, the expectation

weighed quite heavily and the external noise was louder than it has ever been. so, i felt we could not quite get ourselves in the right place, and at the end, what was impressive was that the players ground it out — they ground results out and found ways to win. the ones who have had more experience on tournaments know what it is like to play for england in major tournaments and as we have been doing better and getting better in the tournaments, the expectation gets higher and that has been no different. from a team point of view, we know what we are trying to achieve. we set out from the start what we're trying to achieve and we are close doing that. netherlands were four hours late getting to dortmund after their train was cancelled because of a blockage on the line. they had to fly instead. this is the team arriving at their dortmund base. the rail network in germany has been

criticised. it is not the first time that the dutch have struggled. they got the train to berlin for the group stage but then had to fly back because of a limited serves. the head coach was more concerned about how they approach the semi—final with england changing their tactics in the last game. it is always good to know when, in what kind of system, they will start. it can be four defenders, it can be five defenders, how they play against switzerland the last match, but we are prepared for both ways to compete against them, and we know they have a lot of indoor qualities. i think we are both teams, really strong, and it will be a good fight. to the tennis, we have had the first quarter—finals at wimbledon. jannik sinner is out, beaten by daniil medvedev. we have all the details from the all england club. the rain keeps on coming

at these championships and so do the surprises. yannick sinner�*s wait for his first wimbledon final continues. the top seed and world number one was hampered by illness during his quarter—final against daniil medvedev but still managed to take him to five sets. sinner had won the last five against the russian fifth seed but this was medvedev�*s moment — revenge for his australian open final defeat. he is through to the semi finals again where, just like last year, carlos alcaraz awaits. the defending champion wanted his match against tommy paul to be done before spain kicked off their football game. he got his wish, but the american won the grasscourt title at queens coming into this championships and held alcaraz up but he was too good after, reeling off the next three to reach the last four again.

in the women's draw, the new zealand qualifier lulu sun's magical run is over. the world number 123 playing at her first grand slam took a first set and steady there after though. injuries nearly forced her out of the sport. her resilience showed this time as she won in three to reach her first grand slam semi—final. there she will meet italy's jasmine paolini. the french open finalist is now a wimbledon semi finalist after a win against emma navaro in less than an hour. 28 and never won a match yet until this year's championships, and so on wednesday, the quarter—finals will continue with champions novak djokovic and elena rybakina hoping to seal their place. tadej pogacar is wearing the yellow jersey at the tour de france.

he has maintained his lead in a flat stage, with the main contenders coming together in the peloton. jasper philipsen who won as top sprinter last year took his first stage of this year's race. two france rugby union internationals have been arrested in argentina after a woman claimed that she was sexually assaulted. they both denied the allegation. they were detained and have been taken back to where the alleged incident took place following the test against argentina on saturday — a match match in which both players made their debut. a statement says the players confirmed a sexual encounter took place with the young woman on the night in question but they firmly denied any form of violence. cricket — we have heard from ben stokes ahead of england's first test against the west indies. it is a busy summer with another three test series against sri lanka to follow

but the skipper says they are already looking ahead to the ashes tour 18 months away. here is a sports correspondentjoe wilson. james anderson's mind will be in many places this week but he will notice a team in transition. his captain has many duties. ben stokes will play as an all—rounder and he is the planner, already looking beyond even this summer. for me, i want to be able implement stuff to push the team as far as they can go, not only as a team collective but as individuals. we look at where we have got to go — in 18 months time, to australia — we want to win that urn back. there has been little time for west indies to adapt to english conditions. but they have some serious fast bowlers and a very experienced captain. do you think this is the best group of players you have had at your

disposal so far? it is quite hard to say the best. it is a young group, and especially the batsmen, so they have a lot of time to learn because obviously playing test cricket takes a while to really understand. you are always learning on the job, but a very decent team, for sure. and challenging that very decent team is england's immediate concern. this is clearly not australia. this is james anderson starting his final test match in conditions that will suit him, preparing for the cameras and the batters as england's future builds around him. staying with cricket, gambhir will be india's new coach. he is a former india open, making almost 450 appearances in his country in all formats for the game. he has most recently coached the india premier league champions.

you can get all the latest from the bbc sport website or the bbc sport app. a reminder of our top stories — spain beats france 2—1 to get to the final of the euro championship where they will face either england or netherlands but from me, ollie foster, and the rest of the sportsday team, goodbye. hello. thanks forjoining me. well, it does feel like summer has come to an abrupt end. or perhaps it never started in the first place. and more rain clouds on the horizon for the rest of this week, but here's some good news. at least it's not going to be raining all the time. i want to show you the big picture first and where the jet stream is relative to the uk. here it is over the next few days, to the south of us, now north of the jet stream, we generally have cool air.

south of the jet stream we generally have warm air. notice where it is over the coming days — to the south of us. that means we get that air stream from the north and with a rippling jet stream, we also have weather patterns heading our way and in fact, a lot of rain to come in the coming days, particularly across northern parts of the uk. in fact, the north east of scotland in the next 24 hours, particularly soggy with this weather system here. that rain unrelenting here, particularly in the northeast highlands, in grampian. to the south by the end of the night, i thinkjust a few scattered showers, but it is relatively humid air, so that means that the temperatures aren't dropping particularly low overnight, say 14 degrees first thing in the morning. now here's wednesday, low pressure to the north. so that rain that i mentioned in the north and the east of scotland. the met office is pointing to 20—30mm of rain quite widely. in the extreme case it could be double, even triple that. so really, really wet across this part of the world.

to the south, scattered showers, maybe some thunderstorms. but i think come the afternoon there will be some sunshine in the south of the uk. and that, of course, is good news for wimbledon because the weather has been dreadful. however, there is a rain symbol there for wednesday. that's to indicate the showers we should have in the morning, but come the afternoon it will be better. now, high pressure is close by. it's just in the wrong position. we're on the edge of the high, so that means that the winds are coming in from the north. so really cool air sliding across the uk with showers and again rather a lot of cloud. look at the temperatures. 14 in aberdeen. we might squeeze 22 or 23 in the south east of the country if there will be some prolonged sunny spells, but the outlook into the weekend really says it all. it's that mixed bag and it is on the cool side forjuly. bye— bye.

live from washington, this is bbc news. world leaders gather in washington to kick off the nato summit, with ukraine high on the agenda. meanwhile, rescue operations continue in kyiv after a deadly russian strikes levels ukraine's biggest children's hospital. and hamas warns that a ceasefire deal with israel could be back to square one, after weeks of ongoing negotiations.

i'm sumi somaskanda, welcome to our show. european and north american leaders are gathered here in washington to kick off the nato summit. a central topic during the gathering will be the war in ukraine and the possible path to nato membership for the country. a short while ago, ukrainian president vladimir zelensky emphasised the need for more air defence and security to help his forces counter russia's deadly airstrikes and reduce civilian casualties. us presidentjoe biden vowed to aid ukraine against those attacks, announcing plans to supply new air defences to ukraine in an opening speech at the summit. the us along with other nato allies will send at least four patriot systems according to a newjoint agreement. mr biden also sent this warning to russian president vladimir putin on the alliance's growing strength. all we allies knew, before this war putin thought nato would break. today nato is stronger than it has ever been in its history.

when this senseless war began, ukraine was a free country.
