fifth set. but he got the job done. no such luck for cameron norrie or dan evans. no such luck for cameron norrie or da n eva ns. eva ns no such luck for cameron norrie or dan evans. evans had quite a fight against fernando velasco. it was a tough ask against the 23rd seed, eva ns, tough ask against the 23rd seed, evans, the clay is not his favourite surface but he gave it a go and levelled up one set all but furniture started to slip away from him. a bit of a niggle with his right calf and for velasco was playing better and better so he went out in four sets. not really a performance to be ashamed of the. disappointing for cameron norrie as yet again for him he did put up a strong performance but the scoreline did not reflect that. it was not the best for cameron norrie, he was playing a french qualifier and he would have been the favourite going into that but he just did not hit his stride, he could not get anything going. very one—sided

affaira man who anything going. very one—sided affair a man who had never won a match here at reynold garros. thank you for the moment. let's have a quick look at some of the other sports news making headlines today. veteran south africa fast bowler dale steyn has been ruled out of the opening world cup match against england. he's yet to fully recover from a shoulder injury. it means he's also unlikely to feature against bangladesh, but could return for the game against india. the south africa head coach as gibson says he's happy to be with the england job. trevor bayliss ending his four—year stay when his contract expires in september.

gibson will lead south africa in the world cup opener against the hosts this thursday. to new york next, where anthony joshua's getting ready for the latest defence of his heavyweight titles. he fights andy ruinunior at madison square gardens on saturday night — his first fight in america. it's a landmark step to fight in the states, butjoshua says he'll only be happy when he has the one belt he's missing from his collection, as ade adedoyin reports. anthonyjoshua looked anthony joshua looked like anthonyjoshua looked like a man without a care in the world as he mingled with the media on this roof terrace a few blocks away from the empire state building. it was a bit like the calm before the storm, this week is not so much about the fight but the occasion, the chance to box at madison square garden, an iconic venue at madison square garden, an iconic venuein at madison square garden, an iconic venue in world boxing which has featured some of the greats of the sport like muhammad ali and joe frazierjoshua's image and name will

be eliminated in neon lights all week outside the venue. but does he feel that he's finally arrived getting the chance to box in new york? i still have about, i still have a job to do on during the first, but it looks like i've made it, it is only until i put my hand on that last title but i can say i've made it. his opponent andy ruiz junior also looked relaxed, is expected to be a heavy underdog going into this fight, a substitute, stepping in forjoe miller fulfilled three drug tests. but he believes he can cause a big shock. things happen for a reason and for this fight against joshua, for a reason and for this fight againstjoshua, god did not want me to get one belt but three belts. so we are here, we are ready and me ntally we are here, we are ready and mentally focused and we are here to pull this off.

come sunday.. thoughts turn to international football with the nations league finals looming. england have named their 23 man squad for their semi—final against the netherlands captain harry kane is in — despite that ankle injury that's kept him out of action since the 9th of april... no room for southampton duo nathan redmond and james ward—prowse, they've been dropped for the game but will remain in training with the squad. the most surprising omission though is this man — spurs' keiran tripper. it might come as a bit of a surprise considering the impact he had in the world cup last year. but these finals have the chance to provide them with silverware. but these finals have the chance to provide them with silverwarem but these finals have the chance to provide them with silverware. it is massive for me and the whole squad and nation. the first time to win the first nations leak and win a trophy for england since 1966. that is massive for us as a nation and the players are fully aware of that and looking to go out into business.

as for scotland, their new manager steve clarke has named five uncapped players in his first squad for his side's euro qualifiers with cyprus and belgium... it includes kilmarknock trio stuart findlay, greg taylor and forward eamonn brophy — three players the former killies manager will be very familiar with from his time at rugby park. livingston keeper liam kelly has also been called up as well as aberdeen defender michael devlin. let's hearfrom the manager. people think he is just doing this for the sake of it but it is not true, all the boys in the squad deserve to be in there. stuart finlay was in the last squad that alex picked and he has had a good season. alex picked and he has had a good season. we have alex picked and he has had a good season. we have one or alex picked and he has had a good season. we have one or two injury problems in the left back position. kieran tierney is out and barry douglas is injured. it wasjust a case of promoting greg up from the

very good performances he's had from the scotland under 21 is. probably the scotland under 21 is. probably the most consistent left back in the spl so he deserves his chance. up front i always have a lot of injury problems and people not available so eamon brophy was an obvious choice for me. a few more lines of football news for you. police in spain have arrested a number of current players and club executives as part of an investigation into match—fixing. the arrests relate to alleged icidents which occured in may last year. those detained are reported to be from spain's top two divisions. leeds have announced that manager marcelo bielsa will remain at the club despite failing to reach the premier league this season. after guiding the championship side to the play—offs in his first campaign in charge, he's agreed to stay at elland road for another 12 months. and neymar has been replaced as captain of the brazil national team for next month's copa america by his paris st germain team mate dani alves. neymar was given the role

eight months ago but has been under pressure after recent disciplinary issues. the rumour mill at newcastle united continues — with ongoing negotiations around the club's ownership. we'ven know for a while mike ashley wants to sell — and today we're learning about another proposed bid — but newcastle fans have been left disappointed before. let's get more . this is the fifth time at newcastle united have been supposedly on the verge of being sold by mike ashley. well i spoke to a number offans sold by mike ashley. well i spoke to a number of fans today and understandably they are cautious given how many full storms that have been. the latest bid came to light after the group behind the bed took the step of releasing a statement saying they had agreed terms with mike ashley. they are spearheaded by

sheikh khaled believed to be a distant relative of sheikh mansour, the city owner. he is a member of the city owner. he is a member of the abu dhabi royal family albeit a less prominent member and in terms of any comments from the club on this there has been none whatsoever. nothing from the premier league either. but the people i spoke to in the north—east are not knocking this back, we know that the statement is valid although there is no detail. evenif valid although there is no detail. even if terms have been agreed with mike ashley there's still a long way to go before we could describe this asa to go before we could describe this as a done deal they need proof of funds which is something that fell short when they attempted a takeover of liverpool last year for £2 billion. they also need to pass the fit and proper persons test. something else that is significant asi something else that is significant as i understand there is least one other interested party interested in a takeover at newcastle united so if

mike ashley completes a sale it may not even be to the same group. so still a long way to go but further than we've been in terms of a ta keover than we've been in terms of a takeover at newcastle so far. you can forgive fans for being sceptical, do we have any idea of the timescale and figures involved? the sense that i get that it is not imminent, the figure reported is 350 million for newcastle united and the date that is bandied around for many people is the 30th ofjune because thatis people is the 30th ofjune because that is when rafa benitez has his contract expired. reports from the middle east suggest that the bins aid group is focused on getting the deal done first and foremost on their priority is getting that deal done and not with sorting out the manager contract that's not to say they would not keep rafa benitez but it may be that that date of the 30th ofjune would it may be that that date of the 30th of june would pass it may be that that date of the 30th ofjune would pass before they com plete ofjune would pass before they complete the deal and in which case

you imagine it would then fall to mike ashley to implore rafa benitez to state whilst the contract negotiations continue. thank you for the moment. scotland women play their final warm up game ahead of this summers world cup. they take on jamaica at hampden park this evening — a side 33 places below them.. it's been 7 years since the women's national side has played at hampden and jane dougall is there. just taking a look at the pitch here, some of the scotland players behind me. not long to go, just a few weeks now and before that credit being given to some of the women who pave the way for the current scotla nd tea m pave the way for the current scotland team for the five of the women who played in the first ever international match between scotland and england in 1972 are being capped and england in 1972 are being capped and there have been given their caps by first minister nicola sturgeon for the rose riley is one of them. about time? i do not know how many

years too late but better late than never. your story is special because you left scotland to go to italy because you want to play professional football and could not do that in scotland? at the time in the 1970s women's football was not as organised as it is now and to further my career i moved to turn professional. and he went on to play for italy and he won the world cup with italy, the only scottish person to ever have won the world cup!m was sensational, scotland did not wa nt was sensational, scotland did not want me at the time, i've been playing in italy for more than five years. so i was entitled to represent italy and i was overwhelmed to play for them. but on many occasions there was always a scottish heart beating under the italian strip. how did it feel to lift the world cup? it does not get

any better than that. and how do you feel that scotland women will play jamaica tonight in hamden, the first time in seven years that they played here. a special occasion? it is about time that the girls were getting this recognition. hamden is a special place. i will be the first shouting them on. congratulations on finally being awarded your cat. and we hope for a record crowd tonight. the scotland manager says she hopes for 10,000 but it is widely expected that that number will be exceeded, a nice way to send off these two countries making their debut at the women's world cup. and that is live on bbc alba was the that is all from sportsday. thank you for watching

and good night. good evening. there is much warmer weather on the way for many by the end of the week. today felt a bit chilly even though we had more sunshine for western areas. we had some heavy downpours earlier on. but the skies are clearing. 0ut some heavy downpours earlier on. but the skies are clearing. out to the west we are pulling in more cloud to northern ireland, wales and the south—west for the we could just get some frost in rural areas in scotland. plenty of sunshine to start the day but then the cloud moving and bringing some rain and drizzle. sunshine and summer showers

for the north of scotland and here at the air is still a bit colder. then towards the end of the week, further south it will warm up in the sunshine.

you're watching beyond 100 days. a penultimate trip to brussels for theresa may and one final regret that she didn't manage to deliver brexit. back here at home, the ten conservatives who want to replace her have different views on how they could succeed where she failed. and yet again, the eu tells the prime minister they won't renegotiate the brexit deal she struck. meanwhile, the leadership fight to succeed her focuses around familiar brexit hurdles — no deal, new deal and the spectre of losing power. also on the programme... johnson &johnson, the company that brought us talc and baby shampoo, goes on trial in oklahoma over the role the company played — or not — in the american opioid crisis. just months after finalizing her divorce from the world's richest
