‘ part so we are very proud of her part so we are very proud of her. it is kind of a relief because her. it is kind of a relief because he kind of got what he deserved. and he kind of got what he deserved. and he almost got as many years as as many girls so i think that is fair. surely she deserves to be on top of the podium in cat later this month at the world gymnastics championships. let's take a look at some other headlines today. british number one kyle edmund is through to the last 16 of the shanghai masters for the first time. he beat italy's andreas seppi in straight sets. edmund will play nicolas jarry of chile next. johanna konta has split with her coach michaeljoyce after less than a year together konta was as high as four in the women's rankings after reaching the wimbledon semifinals last year but has struggled for form this season. and geraint thomas has had his tour de france trophy stolen. it was being displayed at a cycle show in birmingham. thomas says he hopes whoever took it will have the good grace to return it. next year will see the start of the w—series, a six—race women—only motor sport series. it's got some high profile backers,

including david coulthard. only two women have ever raced in 68 years of formula one, organisers think that this new series will help change that. there are relatively few women going into sport at the bottom and we believe that one of the reasons why so believe that one of the reasons why so few girls are coming in at go—karting level is because they don't have anyone to look up to, there are no female famous role models. so, what we want to do is make champions of our drivers. we wa nt to make champions of our drivers. we want to make them famous of the young girls will look up to their role models and hopefully choose motorsport has been their sport in the future. the president of women in motorsport commission inside the fia, she has said as competitors they want to be the best, the only way to benchmark their performance is to compete in a mixed environment, which they are already doing. well, we share the same names

as the fia. we want women and men to raise together but at the highest levels of sport. so, we believe there is a glass ceiling in motorsport, which is at about formula 3, beyond which women are currently a re formula 3, beyond which women are currently are not going. so, we have put our cars at a formula 3 level, we will be training 18 drivers... and they will start next year in 2019 and they will be racing hard with each other over six races in europe. and, hopefully, we can propel them forward. and you will also hopefully expand the w—series from how you are starting. do you think ina from how you are starting. do you think in a way that might be less of a headache for current teams and different formulas in motorsport? suddenly, there will be less women knocking on the door asking for seats with them because they have their own series. absolutely not. we

are about promoting women to get into all levels of motorsport. all we're asking for is greater participation. so, if our drivers can come to w—series and go on to other series, then it isjob done from our point of view. the w—series, due to start next year. let's hear some more now from shane warne. he was at the forefront of the t20 revolution over a decade ago, many feared the shorter form of the game would accelerate the demise of test cricket, but we're not there yet. don't think test cricket is dying. i think there is a lot more interest on the tv side of things than attending the ground. i think in england and australia, it is very strong with people attending the venue strong with people attending the venue where the test matches are but i think around the world there is more eyeballs watching on the tv. i think as long as the superstar players say that test cricket is the pinnacle, and they want to achieve things in the test match arena, and they are leading the way in that, we

will always have it. we have to trust the players. it is easy to ta ke trust the players. it is easy to take the money and do the t20 and i don't begrudge players doing that. but i hope that when we look back in 10-15 but i hope that when we look back in 10—15 years' time, looking to the future, we also isn't it great all those players love test cricket? it is the hardest form. the best team will always when over five days. we had the ball tampering issue a couple of months ago which has clearly damaged the australian team and damage test cricket as a brand as well. do you think it has knocked it in that way? i was embarrassed. i'm not sure how it gets to the stage in a test match where you say we will take sandpaper out into the middle and put it on the ball. that was terrible. it was very embarrassing and disappointing. the australian cricket team need to gain the respect back of the cricket community, they need to gain the respect back of the australian public especially. the anyway they

can do that is the way they conduct themselves and i hope they don't lose the australian dna, which is hard, tough, but fair. people feel the keatings's success is ben stokes. perhaps the greatest all—rounder england have had since the freddie flintoff days and we know how good he was. he is a flawed character, as you were. he has had his scripts, you had your scripts as well. you think that is what makes him so important to england, that they nurture him? because he is a big character. and he is a very good player at this point. freddie fli ntoff player at this point. freddie flintoff was fantastic. he has become a mate. he was an excellent all—round cricketer. knowing ben stokes, he is a terrific guy, someone you want stokes, he is a terrific guy, someone you want in the trenches with you, you want him in the side because he's a class act. no one train is as hard as ben stokes. it surprised me how hard he trained and worked. we don't want to put a muzzle on him that he isn't ben stokes. you can only be in trouble

when you pretend you're something you're not. and ben stokes, we want him to be ben stokes. we don't want to see any of the incidents, because thatis to see any of the incidents, because that is not on, that is not cool, it isn't right. i don't think you'll see any more of that from ben stokes because he's learned his lesson and we wa nt because he's learned his lesson and we want ben stokes to be around for a long time. you're one of the top five cricketers of the century, 25 yea rs five cricketers of the century, 25 years ago was the ball of the century against mike gatting, first ashes delivery, you couldn't make that stuff up! how do you look back on it, did it change a life in any way? it did. iwas on it, did it change a life in any way? it did. i was blown away, only one of the greatest cricketers of all time. and i was still playing! it's quite funny when you look at that list, the five of us and all the votes. sir donald bradman, sir jack hobbs, sir garfield sobers, sir vivian richards, shane warne. it is a long way to australia so the

knighthood takes a while, but who, who knows, maybe one day! the mike gatting ball definitely changed my life. first ball, the perfect leg break, it got voted the ball of the century. to do it first ball in the ashes series, it was meant to be on the way change my life was amazing. that series, the ashes, i went to every cou nty that series, the ashes, i went to every county ground, there were kids with cream on their nose, at 20 yea rs of with cream on their nose, at 20 years of age, i'd never experienced anything like that. there was no school to learn what to do at that point so all i tried to do is be honest, upfront and me and along the way i made plenty of silly mistakes. i'll make 20 more and more life! —— plenty more in my life. what a voice said is i've never pretended to be something i am not which is why people still like me. a very likeable character, shane warne, 25 yea rs likeable character, shane warne, 25 years ago that ball of the century,

makes me feel old. hope you enjoyed hearing the thoughts of shane warne, lots of great tales in his autobiography that we just ddin't have time to get into. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more throughout the evening. good evening. it's been the hottest 0ctober day in seven years, with temperatures over 2a celsius. things are about to turn more and over the next few days but for this evening and overnight is still mild, quite humid overnight. some showery rain initially in the southwest moving northwards over most parts of the country at some point overnight. by thursday morning, some low cloud, mist and murk, and also the odd rumble of thunder potentially on some of those heavy showers. those showers continue to work slowly eastwards through scotland and eastern england in the morning. then we see the next batch of rain moving in from the west. so, i think most areas

are going to see a bit of showery rain at some point on thursday. things are turning breezy, although still mild, 21—22 degrees in the south—east. it'll turn fresher in the west behind that cold front. now, that front makes its way gradually further east, and then we see the influence of storm callum moving in from the west. that's going to bring increasingly windy and some wet weather through friday and on into the weekend too. bye— bye. you're watching beyond 100 days. hurricane michael is making landfall right now on the gulf coast of florida — packing winds of 150mph. the huge storm blew ashore fast, taking many by surprise and it's now too late for people to get away. it's the first category 4 storm to hit this area in over a century, and the buildings aren't made to withstand this extreme weather. this is the worst storm that the florida panhandle has seen in a century. hurricane michael is upon us, and now is the time to seek refuge. donald trump says he's spoken to senior saudi officials
