women footballers in the united states, are hoping that a decision made in australia will close the pay gap that exists between them and their male counterparts. what's been hailed as a "landmark" agreement in australia — means the women's national side, the matildas are on course to be paid the same as the men's team, the socceroos. several other countries have similar deals — but not in the usa, where it's long been a bone of contention, and where the women's team completed back—to—back world cup wins earlier this year. this is exactly the conversation that the us women's soccer team wa nted that the us women's soccer team wanted to have an basically forced in the face of their employers us soccer by suing them for institutionalised gender discrimination in march. at the moment that they really ostensibly should be focusing entirely on the pitch. they picked a massive legal fight heading into the world cup. this world cup that the world just

saw was only not about more than football, it was about equity which isa football, it was about equity which is a back drop of the issue. you could say the us started this quite publicly but their counterparts obviously in australia, injamaica, spain, in ireland, argentina, each in their own way have spoken out about issues of inequity. in the fa ct about issues of inequity. in the fact that australia has had this terrific breakthrough made huge sides strides is very empowering —— empowering and that this is a highly competitive sport, female foot dollars around the world are chairing this. they are empowering one another and the sort of wheels of justice are just turning one another and the sort of wheels ofjustice are just turning much more slowly in the us. some rugby union news — and south africa's world cup—winning prop tendai mtawarira has announced his retirement from the national side. the sa year old — who was born in zimbabwe is affectionately known as the beast. he's south africa's third most—capped player of all time —

having played in 117 tests since making his debut back in 2008. mtawarira who plays super rugby for the sharks — said winning the world cup was the perfect way to end his international career, describing it as "the cherry on top". for the best part of a decade, britain's nicola adams has been one of the faces of women's boxing around the world. she's a double olympic champion — and a world champ as a professional. but she's now decided to call time on her career — over fears of losing her vision. michael redford reflects on one of boxing's true pioneers. it would have been easy to relax, career and ambition achieved, history made at this moment was just the beginning for nicola adams. a glittering career began by accident. with no—one to look after adams while her mum was at the gym, 12—year—old nicola was signed up to a boxing class. she did not look back. natural ability mixed with raw determination saw adams accelerate. every amateur title won, next up london 2012 when she captured

the heart of a nation. adams had brought women's boxing into a new era. she was the first definitely female or the first amateur boxer that had captured people's hearts. people wanted to see her progression and what she done and that was because she spoke well, you know, and she broke down a lot of the barriers and stereotypes that people had. adams was far from finished. golds at the commonwealth and european games and the world championships followed formal history in rio. commentator: nicola adams lets out a triumphant roar, having been crowned as olympic champion for the second successive time. adams becoming the first british boxer for 92 years to retain olympic title. an unprecedented achievement that led her to buckingham palace. an mbe followed by an obe. still, she wouldn't rest. with everything won at amateur

level, she turned professional. 5fights, 5 wins and the world flyweight title. the latest bout was a fight against maria salinas. it turned out to be her last as her health took priority. about the injury in the first round of my last fight. i saw the doctors and did not think it was going to be anything too serious, but i could take the chance and risk and keep on boxing and nothing else happens to my eye which could be an unlucky punch and i could lose my sight. i'd achieved a lot in boxing, it was time to hang up the gloves and keep my side. the promoter frank warren added: adams grew up idolising the likes of muhammad ali and sugar ray leonard. she now retires with a generation of girls idolising nicola adams. michael radford, abc news.

today team, goodbye. hello there. parts of england and wales look extremely wet on thursday with the risk of localised flooding in places and the risk of some travel disruption, all courtesy of this new area of low pressure which is going to park itself across the uk and this very slow—moving front will bring some very wet conditions through central portions of the uk. early on thursday, that rain band will be slowly spreading its way northwards so some places quite wet. blustery showers across the southwest and some showers across scotland which will be wintry over the high ground. a little bit of sunshine around and not quite as cold a start as what we have seen the last few nights because we have cloud around. but through thursday morning, that rain band will almost grind to a halt across parts of north wales, the north midlands, northern england and the rain will be heavy and persistent at times.

like i said, producing some localised flooding and travel disruption in places and we'll also have quite a keen east—north—east wind, making it feel pretty raw so not very pleasant conditions throughout the day on thursday here. to the north of it, bright, probably the best sunshine for western scotland. a few showers which will be wintry on the hill but quite blustery here and some heavy, maybe thundery showers across southern and south—western parts of england and it will be quite blustery here, too. but into the midlands and the south—east we should see some sunshine, slightly lighter winds. it will be a chilly day wherever you are, just about 10 degrees across the south and single figure values further north. and like i mentioned, feeling really chilly underneath that cloud and rain. through thursday night, a slow improvement. that weather front with the band of rain continues to ease down and push towards the south and east so it will be a dry and chilly night across many northern and southern areas but where you have the cloud, not quite as cold, ranging from 2—6 degrees there.

the pressure chart, as we head into friday, shows this area of low pressure slipping off into the near continent. a bit of a hand back across the eastern side of the country with this weather front which will continue to bring a fair amount of cloud and one or two showers, but a ridge of high pressure builds in across the north and west, so here, after a chilly start, it should be a fine day with plenty of sunshine around. much of the country should see a bit of sunshine apart from the eastern side of england where it's going to be another chilly day. as we had through friday night, eventually we'll see the cloud and the rain in the south—east clear away, it's going to be a cold night under clear skies with a widespread frost. the next weather front will arrive across the west, so not quite as cold for northern ireland as it will be across much of britain. saturday, cold, frosty start for many but that rain spills in from the west to many areas and then on sunday, a gradual improvement with sunshine developing.
