we've seen forjoining us. we've seen incredible sporting records equalled today. we will start today. with lewis hamilton. we will start lewis hamilton has equalled michael schumacher‘s all time record of 91 formula one victories. the championship leader won an action—packed ‘eifel‘ grand prix at the nurburgring — and is now also — withinjust a couple of races of matching schumacher‘s 7 world titles. joe wilson reports. down there on germany's favourite circuit, michael schumacher was equal, lewis hamilton retreat a record f1 thought would never be caught. the victory 91. he had to get past his team—mate both mercedes cars push the opening corner beyond its limits. bottas stayed in the lead. how within 20 minutes did hamilton get past like that? some driver error bottas by mechanicalfailure.

listen for the dreaded word. out of the grand prix and hamilton was now free another display of concentration, control his mastery of motor racing. this has significance everywhere but he is a british leader of a global sporting industry. the record is equal to! schumacher and hamilton. he does make it look a bit easy. it's incredible as i came into the pit lane that's when i realise that i'd equalled and even beat. hamilton says it's getting harder to stay ahead well imagine what it's like trying to chase them. amazing from lewis hamilton. like him nadal has made history today at the french open. nadal has made history today at the french open. meanwhile there was tennis history in paris today as rafael nadal equalled roger federer‘s record of 20 grand slam men's singles titles. all the more significant because it now m oves all the more significant because it now moves him level with that man that are on 20 grand slam titles

each. with more on eight remarkable final. so, who is the greatest of all time? rogers fans would insist he's the goat with 20 grand slam titles rough out nicked at his heels with 19. novak boasts 70. by the way this dual is always one of sports most desirable fixtures was up on clayton nadal has long been king and before long djokovic found himself to us to serve down as the serb struggled so the spaniard towards taking the first set six love. the standard of tennis was as high as expected. but try as jock of it to reach and nadal played on a high level. nadal was winning the points, second set soon his. six games to two. the world number one try to make a contest of it but it was too late. nadal won a record extending 13th french open

title. heat moves level with that of her on 20 slams. what a contents their next meeting could be. and etc, class act that he is has taken to social media to pay tribute thing i've always had the utmost respect for my friend as a person and as a champion it's my greatest rival over many years. i believe we have pushed each other to become better players. that's a busy sunday with all the nations in football action. will talk about that in a moment but off the pitch big story breaking concerning radical proposals to reshape the finances in english football and part of that could be cutting the number of teams in the premier league 22218. our sports reporter adam wilde joined me a short while ago. this is project big picture. it's a hugely detailed proposal we could be here all night going through the finer points. i

give you some of the key points, it's worth noting, this is been put forward by two clubs liverpool and manchester united. as you say, could reduce the number of teams in the premier league from 2218. promotion would also change from the championship so the top two championship so the top two championship would automatically be promoted third, fifth will go into a playoff. along with interestingly, the team that finished 16th in the primate leg. promotion would be change significantly. finances this isa change significantly. finances this is a big driver, we all know about the perilous state of many efl clubs given the global pandemic of the last six or seven months. they will 110w last six or seven months. they will now be given 25%, a quarter of premier league revenue under these proposals. also be given in the short term £258 million. to help keep them sustainable. the fa also get 100 million. huge keep them sustainable. the fa also get100 million. huge figures keep them sustainable. the fa also get 100 million. huge figures being bandied about. just finally, the

voting system is set to change as well. this is really raising some eyebrows was up the power balance will change. and now they put in the hands of just nine will change. and now they put in the hands ofjust nine premier clubs. those of been up for me the longest. rick perry the chair of the efl, he's come out very much in support of these proposals. he said he's demonstrably in the best interest of the football pyramid. here's what he's been saying. this isn't something thatjust he's been saying. this isn't something that just been he's been saying. this isn't something thatjust been cobbled together at random. it actually does address each of the issues that i've highlighted. and therefore, it's a long term plan that's actually worth battling for. this isn't an attempt to get a better short—term solution. passionately believe this is actually the right term future for the game. and therefore, deserves serious consideration and beyond serious consideration and beyond serious consideration. it actually deserves implementation. rick perry supports it but safe to say not eve ryo ne supports it but safe to say not everyone does. the premier league i

think it's fair to say broadly disappointed. they essentially say they'd rather football work together asa they'd rather football work together as a whole to counterbalance these problems it currently faces. the football supports association they say they have grave concerns, lands appeared to be stitched up behind oui’ appeared to be stitched up behind our backs by billionaire club owners who continue to treat football as their personalfiefdom. they who continue to treat football as their personal fiefdom. they are, very strong on what's being proposed. as i say, these arejust proposals but they could represent one of the biggest shifts in football in england for a generation. on two football matters on the pitch. whales were first in action but couldn't find a goal against the republic of ireland and dublin before england came from behind to before england came from behind to be the worlds top ranked team belgium. it's a sign of the time of this covid age the scoreboard does the cheering instead of the fans due to injuries and coronavirus. england

picked three right backs against belgium. their only left photo was in goal sent a half whose only fields are to recently. always been a goalscorer. in 2020 marcus radford has been making plenty of headlines and when henderson was pulled down inside the box the manchester united man made some more. little sign of break in stalemate number nine but before harry cain had a chance to make an impact number ten did make some he had the shot the deflection at the decisive say. the absence of any genuine cause for his concern was rather on 2020 like. even if ra dford was rather on 2020 like. even if radford couldn't add a third in second ave, south gate needn't of worried. his team had just beaten the number one side in the world. and dublin, ireland started up was also farfrom and dublin, ireland started up was also far from usual when seven of his forced to sit out through covid rules the last thing you need is more close contact with top this is kevin long getting one of the eye.

and giving the irish even more headaches. luckily randolph provided some pain relief. keeping wolves at bay. brady's hopes of easing the nerves we re bay. brady's hopes of easing the nerves were wide of the mark, longs we re nerves were wide of the mark, longs were well over it. this game was lacking in intensity, quality and in james maclean's case, lacking control. just minutes after being booked he did this. adding to ireland's numbers problem. the zeros on the score showed all that mattered in the end with whales unable to capitalise on their numerical advantage but a dour draw in dublin. let's have a look at what's happening in the 745 kickoffs. you can see the goal between northern ireland and austria. in scotland slovakia new mill at the moment. follow that over in the bbc sport website. there are for games to complacent women super leg. arsenal thrashed brighton on the early kickoff. dutch striker on target twice in the match as arsenal

style, really a 67 when you're leading in the final run is fantastic especially at such a big event to topics when that he's dreamt of winning. he was nervous early on, you could see that in his approach play. but his short game held up beautifully. it was only one blip, that was at the 13th when he missed a very short part. otherwise it was immaculate stuff and he pressed the accelerator around the turn and it really was in control pretty much throughout the back nine. an incredible round from hatton who's been criticised on time for wearing his heart honestly. it's a great character see on the course what's the next target for him? surely got to be going after a major. he's heading towards the worlds top ten if not in it. as a result of this victory. he is someone result of this victory. he is someone the people should look at as a potential major winner when he teesit a potential major winner when he tees it up. obviously the next when is the masters in november. but he a world —class is the masters in november. but he a world—class talent and at the age of 28 he will have a huge confidence. he has a knack of winning big

events. this is the biggest he's won so events. this is the biggest he's won so far but he can go way bigger. finally, another englishman had a great round anti—sullivan. finally, another englishman had a great round anti-sullivan. he'd really got it going on the front ninejust want really got it going on the front nine just want blip on the way home when he bogeyed the 15th. he was really pressing and pressing. he needed a post a low target to have any chance of catching up having started the day seven shots behind. he really did give it a very, very good go. went to the green into on the 18th but couldn't quite make the eagle. nonetheless 65 on the final day a really good effort. and saint young kim has won the pga championship by five shots in pennsylvania. the south korean was flawless as she shot a bogey 362 crews what is her first major title. huge day for her. england's tide for seven thirds was up she was a massive 13 shots off the winner. there is more on that over at the
