of the other stories making headlines today. essex are into the final of cricket's bob willis trophy. they're guaranteed to be one of the two sides with the most points in the competition, which has replaced the usual county championship this season. essex beat middlesex by nine wickets at chelmsford. former england batsman ian bell has played his final first—class innings before retirement. bell fell just ten runs short of his century in warwickshire‘s second innings against glamorgan in cardiff. four—time tour de france champion chris froome and 2018 winner geraint thomas made it safely to the finish of the second stage of the tirreno—adriatico race in italy. it ends on monday. thomas is 22nd overall and using it as prepartion for next month's giro d'italia. let's get the latest

on the tennis now. after a pretty manic monday, we've reached the quarter—final stages at the us open. our tennis correspondent russell fullerjoins me now. jennifer brady is a woman on a mission there. she is. had a great start to the summer after the tour‘s resume with a win in lexington, kentucky. it is now in a grand slam semifinal without dropping a set. today she beat a cat fixed player 63-62. today she beat a cat fixed player 63—62. may well plate naomi osaka in the semifinals but depends on what happens with osaka who with serena williams and perhaps victoria aza renka williams and perhaps victoria azarenka place shall be rogers and that quarterfinal. quite shocked about osaka never dropping at sent against shall be as the world number three —— 93. actually barty is the

current world number one and it looks like she will miss from the us open and now the french open. she looks like she will make the decision to not leave australia and go to the french open which is very disappointing for relying arrows for not having the defending champion there. one reason given is the health risk associated with covid—19 and she does not want a put her team in their present where their us cover myosin if you are in australia where i know they have had an uptick in cases in recent months, especially in melbourne, but elsewhere in austria they have been relatively unscathed and when he said the number of cases in the us and europe, i can see perhaps why you are in your pacific bubble you are happy to stay there. the other reason is she is able to not prepare properly because she has been able to play it fairly freely, her approach cannot get to brisbane to train with her because of the lockdown taking place in victoria. you feel if you are missing out on the likes of this competition and it isa the likes of this competition and it is a real shame. back to the men,

with a single sinnott, but in the doubles we have some british interest. alex iver of in a semifinal on the arthur ashe court. in another one, we havejoe salisbury and his american partner with the australian open partner in january for the double semifinal. it is possible they could perhaps when all three grand slams this year. they are getting there. two more matches to win in new york and they will play in the french open in three weeks' time which will be the last grand slam stage in 2020. and russell you will do some live text commentary. on the website and online with commentary from now. they have started without me. i better get off. they were taking the time. and just a reminder more from russell with live commentary on the bbc sport website on that match betwee zverev and coric. that match just about getting under way.

uk sport has pledged to eradicate bullying and abuse in the high—performance system in the wake of allegations of mistreatment within british gymnastics. in a new report, the funding body for olympic and paralympic sport found less than half of athletes believe there are consquences to people behaving inappropriately within their programme. chair katherine grainger has promised to tackle the issue. not every athlete will have a wonderful positive experience from being in this high—performance world. not every athlete will leave with the results as they wanted or the dreams coming true moment that not every athlete can have. but we still feel that every athlete can when they finish their time look back and say do you know what that was a great time i spent and i am better in some way from having been an athlete within that system. and while at the moment we are hearing athletes still having bad experiences and walking away were saw from being part of that, then we still have work to do and i think it isa still have work to do and i think it is a big ambition but i would love to see every athlete walk away thinking i might not have achieved everything i wanted, but it was a

great time i had, and we had to put a lot of things right to get to that place. if there are federations that are repeat offenders, in this, would you cut their funding? we would. and we have been quite open about that. it is not a sanction we jump too quickly and that's mainly because when you withdraw funding from a sport, it has a very long term consequences and often it hurts the people you want to protect, hurts the athletes first and foremost when things are taken away. so it is not something we would do lightly and not something we want to do but however there will be situations where sports have gone to these issues with culture and integrity and welfare and if they are not accepting of some of the results we have seen or if some of the evidences or proving about bad behaviour and they're evidences or proving about bad behaviour and they‘ re not evidences or proving about bad behaviour and they're not willing to

change then yes we would withdraw public money. it has to be invested well and wisely and we would not invest in a body that did not have the highest ethical standards. arsenal's vice captain hector bellerin has revealed he's now the second—highest shareholder in league two side forest green rovers. why? because of their stance on environmental issues. in fact, it's the only football club to be accredited as carbon neutral by the united nations. earlier, chairman dale vince told me bellerin's involvement will help raise the profile of such causes. the most important and exciting part for us, i think it grains great credible due to the work that we are doing on climate issue, trying to bring those into the world of football and the wider world of sport. and hector feels football and the wider world of sport. and hectorfeels the football and the wider world of sport. and hector feels the same way about it as we do. we have to change how we live in or facing a climate crisis and he sees the potential as well to use sport and his platform

to bring his message will people. so it's kind of a perfect alignment really between us and hector and he brings great credibility to our work. everyone is talking about the work. everyone is talking about the work that you are doing in the club today. tell me a bit more about that and what you have been doing over the past year or so and what you've got planned for the future. we tackle the big three issues that are driving the climate crisis. energy, transport and food. look at how we power ourselves, how we travel and what we eat. and we have done about everything we can to the club on that front. we have solar panels on oui’ that front. we have solar panels on our roof making electricity and are pitch is organic and we have electric car charging points out front and the big thing is we have taken all animals out of our menu, so we are a vegan taken all animals out of our menu, so we are a vegan club. it is a thing i think mitt is most famous. but these are the walks of life where we will spend money every day and we will route be responsible for actually driving climate change was

that we can all make changes in these areas of life and that is our big message away have done it through football and if you and our fa ns through football and if you and our fans how we can do that as well. breaking news, the double olympic 800 metre champion has lost her appeal against a real which forces female athletes to limit their natural levels of testosterone. this is castor semenya committee south african who took her case to switzerland after the court of arbitration for sport upheld the recommendations by the governing body of world athletic. this means that unless semenya applies to the rules committee will not be able to defend her world title in tokyo next year. more on the website of course. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more throughout the evening. goodbye for me.

after up humid day today, tomorrow it turns cooler and fresh from the north. that comes after a warm night for some of us. there will be rain for scotland and northern ireland for a time, pushing into parts of northern england and north wales. and it is to the south of that that there's cloud around, seeing those temperatures holding up around 16 celsius in some spots. into tomorrow, this area of cloud, not a huge amount of rain left with it, will continue moving south through england and wales. not clearing southernmost areas until late in the afternoon. whereas behind that, good sunny spells around, a few showers running through northern scotland, just tilting around a bit more to the west—northwesterly after the southwesterly we've seen today. and that does bring that cooler, fresher air in.

so we will see temperatures for the most part in the mid to high teens. and a much cooler night to come tomorrow night. that's your latest forecast.
