assert their to assert their authority after suggestions from the foreign secretary that her government lacks guts in negotiations with the eu. people like boris have strong views on brexit but so do i. i want to deliver brexit for the british people and i am getting on and doing it. boris johnson was people and i am getting on and doing it. borisjohnson was recorded at people and i am getting on and doing it. boris johnson was recorded at a private dinner thing leave voters might not get the deal they want and he hinted that donald trump could do a betterjob. he would go in bloody hard. there would be all sorts of chaos. everyone would think he had gone mad but you might get somewhere. donald trump says russia should be readmitted to the g7 as he arrives at the summit in canada. a 90—year—old woman is seriously ill in hospital after being attacked in her bed in london. in a moment, it will be time for sportsday but

first, a look at what else is coming up first, a look at what else is coming up here on bbc news. we will bring you the latest from the g7 summit as donald trump arrives after major disagreements with other nations in the build—up to the meeting. dinosaurs galore in jurassic the build—up to the meeting. dinosaurs galore injurassic world of fallen kingdom. find out what mark kermode thought of that in the film review. and at 10:30pm we will have the papers. that is all ahead on bbc news. now it is time for sportsday. hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm hugh ferris. the headlines this evening. the friendlies are finished... the warm ups over. the next time england play it'll count... but who will start their first world cup match against tunisia? we find out which decisions might be keeping gareth southgate up at night. well, future england teams will benefit from a winter break after the premier league agrees to put one in place from the 2019—2020 season onwards.

just one win away from french open title number 11. rafael nadal has never lost a semi final at roland garros. and juan martin del potro couldn't stop him today either. and how much have you missed him? tyson fury, with his camouflage pants and heavyweight strength, gets ready to return to the ring. hello and welcome to sportsday, i'm hugh ferris. welcome to sportsday. thanks forjoining us. so the warm ups are done and dusted. the next we'll see of england is at the world cup. and if you were gareth southgate, i wonder if your mind was changed by an impressive win over costa rica. rashford or sterling up front?

cahill or maguire in defence? butland or pickford in goal? just some of the decisions that may need to be made between now and the 18th ofjune when england play tunisia in their first match of the tournament in russia. we have got competition right across the board and i made that clear to the board and i made that clear to the players before the game, and they put on a superb performance. there is a bit to sort out but that is great, because we want a squad that are playing well and that have the spirit that these lads have at the spirit that these lads have at the moment. let's speak to the daily mail's chief sports reporter matt lawton who was at elland road to see england's win last night. i don't know if you are like me, but when you have conversations about who might start in that 11 for england, you have a conversation that it runs up to 15 names plus. what decisions will gareth southgate be focusing on for the next ten days? i think he has got a couple of

fairly big ones. the make—up of his defence is interesting. i thought philjones had a good game last night. and the midfield as well, henderson, dyer, this whole conundrum about whether he plays lindegaard, dele alli in the same team, when he has got to cram in henderson and dier. and then last night rashford excels. there were questions about pushing raheem sterling hard. chris waddle said rashford was better than sterling in that role. i am not sure. i think southgate likes raheem sterling. he likes what he brings to the game, he likes what he brings to the game, he likes the fear that he puts in opposition defences and i still think on tunisia then raheem sterling will be in the team. think on tunisia then raheem sterling will be in the teamlj think rashford, because of his performance against costa rica, we see some of the skills now that he

is capable of. is there an element that he has played sterling so far and that might be a way that because of this familiarity with him? we have to be mindful of the fact costa rica were not trying very hard last night. it was a bit like the nigerian game on saturday. rashford was excellent but who has had the better season? raheem sterling for manchester city or marcus rashford for manchester united ? that manchester city or marcus rashford for manchester united? that is not a debate. sterling has had an outstanding season and i don't think southgate will rip up the plan he has got in his head based on one performance. there is obviously a training game on monday. he will play 11 versus 11. i guess if rashford was noticeably superior to sterling in that game then he might be giving the england manager more to think about. i think sterling gets the nod onjune 18.

to think about. i think sterling gets the nod on june 18. those are the personnel decisions. the atmosphere of the squad has been talked about as well, particularly since they have been together at st george's park. we're going to show you submit to stop jesse george's park. we're going to show you submit to stopjesse lingard after the game last night. he picked out a sign in the crowd which said please, jesse lingard, give me the shirt. he gave a small boy a shirt. it was the nephew of the person who had the sign up. he posted it on twitter to say thank you very much indeed and he said nice one, enjoy. this is perhaps a microcosm of what we are learning from this england squad. they seem to be happy in their own company but also as a member of the media, are you sensing there is a happiness in the company of others as well? i think there is. i think gareth southgate has been very astute in his man management in the atmosphere he has created, compared to, i have covered every

world cup since 1998 and every tournament with england since 2000. there does seem to be a little less stress around the place, little less anxiety. i think a lot of it has to do with the fact that england were out so rapidly in the last world cup. i think the only lasted six days and then we had the iceland game two years ago. i think less expectation creates a bit less stress and as a result, everyone is more relaxed. 0k. stay there, matt. one of the things that has been blamed for preventing england competing at previous major tournaments is a winter break in the premier league. sven goran eriksson was the idea's first and biggest champion. well now it's happening. or at least it will be from the 2019—2020 season onwards. here's how it'll work. it will be staggered over two weeks

with five games in the first weekend and five in the second. they will move the fifth round of the fa cup to the midweek slot and replays will be scrapped. the efl were consulted before this decision was made by the fa but in the end they decided they did not want to partake in the winter break so clubs in the efl three decisions will not be affected. the premier league chairman richard scudamore insists clubs won't take advantage of the time off to play lucrative friendlies. they will not be allowed to do that. they will not be allowed to do that. they will not be allowed to do that. they will be restricted. there is a fine line. they have to stay training because they cannot stop training because they cannot stop training and come back in two weeks but there will be conditions around what they can do. they will not be commercially exploiting playing matches. matt lawton is still with me. this

has been a topic ever since sven goran eriksson brought this up in 2003. do you think this will have an effect for future england teams?m isa effect for future england teams?m is a winter break without it being a winter break. players do need a rest. i guess it is a fortnight for each club where they have an opportunity to give players a chance to recover from any kind of injuries they are carrying. i think one of they are carrying. i think one of the problem is those players often play with injuries. danny rose only this week was talking about trying to continue by using painkillers, cortisone injections and a break like that mid—season can only be a good thing. it might benefit players come the end of the season because the only point —— the whole point

about this is into mini tournaments oui’ about this is into mini tournaments our players have suffered from burn—out by the time they have got toa burn—out by the time they have got to a major tournament. we will see. it is not a break which is particularly can parable to breaks in other european countries but it will be a benefit. i appreciate your time, thank you. thank you for joining us on sportsday. england captain harry kane will go to russia with a bumper new six year contract at his club spurs. he's extended his deal at white hart lane until 2024, having scored 30 goals in the premier laegue last season, and a personal best 41 in total. the new deal is likely to warn off any potential suitors around europe. now if you've all got your world cup wallcharts, you'll have plotted england's potential progress. depending on how enthusiastic you are of course, and you'll know that they're unlikely to meet argentina until the semi finals at the earliest. they are of course spearheaded by lionel messi, who's still hoping for that major international trophy to add to his incredible club exploits. here's joe lynskey. argentina have a history of creating

superstar players. when they look back on this generation it will be defined by one man. lionel messi has w011 defined by one man. lionel messi has won the al on door five times, that is thejoint won the al on door five times, that is the joint record for the most wins of the award. he was part of the team who got to the final in brazil four years the team who got to the final in brazilfour years ago the team who got to the final in brazil four years ago and at one stage it was set up to him to win the world cup for argentina on home soil but they lost 1—0 to germany. clearly those memories have been preying on lionel messi in the years gone by. he has won every domestic and european honour but he has told the argentinian press he would swap one of those titles to win the world cup. being a champion with his country he says would be different to everything, something unique. messi turns 31 this month. this

could be the last world cup where he is at the peak of his powers. while he has become synonymous with barcelona, he has admitted he could be tempted to his hometown club. they are based in the city of rosario north of buenos aires. he has said it would be the only other tea m has said it would be the only other team he would considerfinishing his career with. there will be plenty of interested fans of that club watching the world cup. let's speak to one of them. we can speak to jamie ralph who runs an english—language old boys club. tell us english—language old boys club. tell us about this club and how special lionel messi is? this club was founded by an english man. an english man travelled from kent to rosario in the late 1800 ‘s. he brought the sport of football. there isa brought the sport of football. there

is a portrait of lionel messi which hangs at every game. he is treated asa hangs at every game. he is treated as a leper, which is the nickname for the fans and players. he has not played a senior game. it is looking more likely, especially this week after an interview on argentine tv. he said he really wants to play in argentina. he was asked for one club and —— for what club and he said there is only one. for argentina as a whole, does this feel like it could be his last chance and is there even more desperation to do well? i don't know. people say lionel messi is superhuman, he is from another planet. we have seen this season that he might be turning 31 injune but he is not slowing down. he has become the top scorer in europe for the fifth time running. and he has dragged argentina to this world cup almost on his own. there is no doubt it is

a weak team going to russia apart from lionel messi. there is a weak tea m from lionel messi. there is a weak team in goals and in defence. there isa team in goals and in defence. there is a lot of pressure on messi. let's not forget that. but he is from another planet, he is superhuman. he a lwa ys another planet, he is superhuman. he always surprises off so there is a feeling he can do it on his own. jamie, interesting thoughts. enjoyed the tournament. this could be his last chance to show that he is the greatest. so argetina. attacking class, but defensive concerns. and their strength in depth will be tested too after manuel lanzini was ruled out of the world cup. the west ham midfielder suffered a serious knee injury in training and won't now travel with the squad to russia to add to his three caps. argentina are in group d

with iceland, croatia and nigeria. now the job of protecting the world cup trophy will partly belong to the cossacks, who will help the police to do so when the trophy comes to their traditional home of rostov—on—don. they'll also be part of the general security effort, while adding a little bit of local culture for the fans who travel to russia. althoughjudging by their sword skills, i get the impression that the world cup trophy will bejust fine. not sure what the bottle did to deserve that. now england's women are in russia right now, playing a world cup qualifier in moscow. avoiding defeat will take them back to the top of their group above wales. they're currently 3—1 up, nikitta parris opening the scoring for england — that's her fifth goal in five world cup qualifiers. manchester city's jill scott has scored twice on her return from injury, this one the best of her finishes. there's just under five minutes left to play in that match. meanwhile, casey stoney will leave her role as assistant

to england coach phil neville to become the new manager of manchester united women. they will be part of the new wsl championship next season. and the former england captain has agreed to be their first boss. she willjust bring everything that she brought as a player. she was captain of england when i was playing. she was captain at lincoln. she has got those leadership qualities which i think she will pass on. she knows football inside and out. she will talk football all day. the tactics, the systems, the formations. the team will be very well organised. she will attract players because she is a name, she isa players because she is a name, she is a figurehead and people will respect her instantly. i think it isa

it is a great appointment for manchester united. they are setting out a real store of this is what they want to do. there will be same any candidates who want to go for thatjob. i think the fact that any candidates who want to go for that job. i think the fact that she has got it shows that her interview was fantastic. and that is why she has got it. you're watching sportsday. still to come in the programme: a big name promising a big game, as tyson fury weighs in for his comeback fight. 11 semi finals. 11 wins. and one step closer to an 11th title at roland garros. rafael nadal never loses at this stage of the french open. and juan martin del potro was the latest to find that out. lizzie greenwood hughes reports. suchis such is the love for rafa nadal at paris. this court is practically his second home. but also looking to move in,juan martin second home. but also looking to move in, juan martin del potro. the argentine towers over most opponents and overpowers them as well. nadal has made a career of climbing mountains. his perseverance and defence unrivalled. and soon he produced a chance to win the first

set. the spaniard's determination, clearly a source of frustration. 0nce clearly a source of frustration. once he builds up a head of steam, the king of clay crafts all sorts of shots. he is the world number one after all. the second set also proved a formality. long from del potro, one set away from another french final. so often, nadal‘s tennis is enough to make the head spin. he has now made 11 roland garros finals and he is yet to lose one. so rafa's seen it all before... but he's meeting a player who's reached the final for the first time. dominic thiem is through after ending marco cecchinato's incredible run to the semis, also in straight sets. ria chohan watched this one. an seeded. many fans only had heard of marco cecchinato because of an

overturned ban for match fixing. but thatis overturned ban for match fixing. but that is until now. he is the man who beat know that djokovic to get here. he was not an opponent for dummett team. —— for dominic thiem. he went to work quickly on marco cecchinato taking the first set 7—5. marco cecchinato showed signs of frustration in the second, where there was a thrilling tie. after dominic thiem hit back, thoughts of causing another upset did not happen. dominic thiem has made a grand slam final at last. the moment he has been waiting for. for marco cecchinato a great moment which had to come to an end. elsewhere, gordon reid has missed out on a place in the french open wheelchair singles final — he lost his semifinal to japan's shingo kunieda 6—2, 6—0. the england women's cricket team have been given a significant pay increase, the ecb has confirmed. the salaries of 10 players are going up by at least 50%

and the aim is that by 2020, all players will be earning twice what they received last year, when they won the world cup. players welcomed the pay rise ahead of england's first match of the summer against south africa tomorrow in worcester. it isa it is a sign of how professional the women's game is going now and a sign of how brilliant last year was as well and how many people are interested in where the game is going. 0bviously, really delighted for us that our minds are on that cricket game tomorrow. scotland captain kyle coetzer says they'll be taking on the best team they've ever faced when england visit edinburgh for a one day international on sunday. they haven't met for more than three years, since when scotland have recorded their first 0di win over a test nation, and coetzer‘s hoping this game will help spread cricket's appeal in his country. the exposure it will bring scotland, the exposure it will bring some of oui’

the exposure it will bring some of our players, whoever puts their hand up our players, whoever puts their hand up to take the wicket, score the runs, take the catch is, that exposure is going to be huge for our game. tyson fury has weighed in nearly five stone heavier than his opponent for his comeback fight tomorrow in manchester. the former world heavyweight champion tipped the scales at more than 19 and a half stone, with albanian sefer seferi just over 15. andy swiss reports. it is more than 2.5 years since his last fight, but finally we are about to see tyson fury back in a boxing ring. he looked very relaxed early on today in the middle of manchester, as he weighed in in front of a decent crowd along with his opponent sefer seferi. it was backin his opponent sefer seferi. it was back in december 2015 the tyson fury so back in december 2015 the tyson fury so memorably won the world title. since then his life has spiralled out of control. he had problem with drink, drugs and depression. his weight ballooned but he is back to get back inside the ring.

it has been a six—month slow road. everyone has followed my progress from day one until now. it will be an excellent fight. he is a tough followed. he is by no means a pushover. he has got more k0s than me which is worrying, to be honest. i know in heavyweight boxing it only ta kes i know in heavyweight boxing it only takes one punch and it is game over. it is up to me to use my skill and everything i have and bring my a game to make sure that does not happen. tyson fury is the red-hot favourite with the bookies. he is nearly a foot taller than his opponent. he will hope far tougher tests await. that lure of an all british

clash with anthonyjoshua. now he will want to get his comeback off to a winning start tomorrow night. england captain 0wen farrell says they have a chance of a lifetime to beat south africa injohannesburg, where they haven't won since 1972. it's the first of three tests between the two tomorrow. and to look ahead let's join chris jones who's there for us. it will be emotionally charged tomorrow at the home of springbok by. tomorrow at the home of springbok rugby. they have a new captain will stop he is the first black player to captain the springboks in a test match. i have been speaking to a lot of people today injohannesburg. his former teachers, journalists and killie see himself. everyone knows this is perhaps a day which can unify a springbok nation which has been fractured in recent times.

pressure on the springboks, pressure on england as well and it is all building up nicely. thank you. after more than 40,000 miles travelled... the latest section of the volvo ocean race is being contested over rather shorter distances this weekend. cardiff hosts one of the event's in port series, before it carries on its journey around the world. from there tom brown reports. since leaving alica nte, since leaving alicante, these boats have travelled around the whole world, stopping in hong kong, brazil and wales. these boats have indeed gruelling conditions, sailing through the night with little sleep. —— these sailors have endured gruelling conditions. today was a little easier. this mini sprint series is scored separately from the round the world marathon. the race
