many days, play second time in as many days, play has had to be abandoned after temperatures rose above those safe levels. fears the rest of the test series may have to be abandoned, talk that the whole series may have to be rescheduled, for the autumn when temperatures are just a little cooler. the australian open will be moved indoors due to a huge increase in the number of unplayable days over the last 30 years. the effect of wildfire smoke. there is also going to be no more skiing, the setting for the first winter olympics in lincoln 2a, becomes the latest horse to announce that it can no longer stage winter sports with shorter winters and more days above freezing. good news, the fifth oldest golf course in the world has been saved from the sea. montrose will get millions of pounds to build a sand bar offshore. it's part of initiative to save links golf in

scotland from land loss. adam and all the at how— scotland from land loss. adam and all the at how our— scotland from land loss. adam and all the at how our headlines - scotland from land loss. adam and all the at how our headlines could l all the at how our headlines could look in the future. we've joined up with the met office to model the climate around six sporting cities and how that could affect the sports and events we love. as the bbc�*s simon king explains. as average global temperatures rise, sport in 2050 may look very different. we have been given data by the uk met office to see how major sporting events could be impacted under a high emissions scenario. in melbourne, the boxing day test cricket match gets under way at the start of the saline summer where we could increasingly hear the phrase, "heat stops play." temperatures exceeding 31 celsius and a humidity of more than 50% will lead to interactions at the end of december 2050 averaging seven out of 21 days. heat stress may be anything

bigger issue for any football world cup taking place in china where, in june and july, it may be simply too hot to play. hot to june and july, it may be simply too hot to play. most afternoons, they will need to be annexed to break and on 12 days of the competition, there may not be able to be play at all due to high heat and humidity exceeding the threshold. as with qatar 2022, officials will need to look at where and when any future competition takes place and consider serious mitigations. injune, the average maximum temperature during the wimbledon to championships may be 2.6 degrees higher than it is now. more significantly, is the likelihood of heatwaves bringing consecutive days above 30 degrees. the scientists think this is five times more likely to occur than in recent years. golf courses need water, but drought has become a problem in recent years for the cape town golf open. in 2018, the course

had to be moved. by 2050, this is likely to be more problematic with severe droughts occurring 50% more frequently. that could be the opposite problem for some with too much rainfall and sea level rise. hurricane harvey caused record—breaking rainfall and significant flooding for houston, texasin significant flooding for houston, texas in 2017. tropical cyclones are expected to become more intense with climate change and with an expected 30 centimetre rise in sea level around the houston area, we could see potential disruption in the major league baseball season with the astros stadium potentially flooded. winter sport could be badly affected as well. the skiing world cup had to be cancelled in recent years due to a lack of snow. by 2050, the average temperature is expected to rise by 3.9 degrees in the alps. that would mean an increase in the day where the temperature does not get below

freezing from 5—16 days, november to mid—december. severely impacting the amount of snow. simon king there. it's perhaps no surprise then that many clubs across the country, are making efforts to become more sustainable. the club named by bbc sport as the greenest in the premier league this year was tottenham and their england midfielder eric dier has been telling us about the work they're doing. the club is really doing lots to try and be as sustainable as possible. we went on the buggy around the training ground and they showed me everything from what they do when we are redoing the pictures here and how they reuse that earth and grass to go into different things around the training ground at however senior is recycled and reused and i thought it was incredible, the water systems in place for watering the pictures and where that all that

water goes. then obviously the vegetable garden, lots of the stuff here we eat in the canteen upstairs and i probably eat something today at lunch from here. so that's incredible. it'sjust doing at lunch from here. so that's incredible. it's just doing what you can, whether it is something like this which is crazy and huge and takes a lot of time and effort and money, whether it is something you can do at home, recycling, and i got a few friends who have very small vegetable gardens, even on their windowsill in apartments in that kind of thing. doing what you can and what's possible and i think you will find that it's quite enjoyable as well to do it and rewarding. eric dier there. and we will be bringing you more detailed reports on how sport could look in 2050 and the possible impact on cricket, golf and winter sports here on sportsday this week. there was a disappointing end to chelsea's campaign in the women's champions league. their hopes of becoming just the second english side to lift the trophy ended by barcelona in gothenburg 4—0 last night. izzy christiansen, now of everton but champions league winner with lton two years ago,

commetating on five live last night izzy, good evening. great to speak to you. a frustrating night for chelsea in the end? the damage done in the first half. chelsea 4—0 down in the first 36 minutes. how will the team be feeling.* wsl champions, league cup winners. they have been a lot of messages on social media by the players who have pledged how proud they are to represent chelsea, but unfortunately, they said that they just were not on it on the night and it showed and i think the class of barcelona really, really showed in the first half. their ability on the ball was just formidable and i think chelsea were taken aback by those early goals. chelsea were taken aback by those early goals-— early goals. barcelona a side you beat in the _ early goals. barcelona a side you beat in the final— early goals. barcelona a side you beat in the final two _ early goals. barcelona a side you beat in the final two years - early goals. barcelona a side you beat in the final two years ago. l early goals. barcelona a side you i beat in the final two years ago. are there signs this was coming? it's easy to look at chelsea and their performance but i guess you really have to see, barcelona played

brilliantly? it have to see, barcelona played brilliantly?— have to see, barcelona played brilliantly? it was a mixture of both. defensively, _ brilliantly? it was a mixture of both. defensively, chelsea - brilliantly? it was a mixture of l both. defensively, chelsea were brilliantly? it was a mixture of - both. defensively, chelsea were not at their best last night at all. when you come in the champions league final against a front line and the attacking midfield threats barcelona had, and theyjust turned up barcelona had, and theyjust turned up and that alongside chelsea's defensive mistake last night, it was just a catalogue of errors. but you have to give credit to barcelona because some of their attacking play and fluidity and movement has just been incredible to watch last night. you don't want this to take away from what has been an impressive lead for the chelsea side. just one defeat in the league this season. interesting to note that roman abramovich was in the changing room, the dressing room with the team after the defeat last night. the players said to him we will be back in this finalagain, players said to him we will be back in this final again, we will get over the line and that's the attitude you want, because you don't want this to detract from what has been a great season. it want this to detract from what has been a great season.— been a great season. it will be really hard _ been a great season. it will be really hard for _ been a great season. it will be really hard for them _ been a great season. it will be really hard for them to - been a great season. it will be really hard for them to realise |

really hard for them to realise that. it might take them a couple of weeks to think back and think it has been a successful season. but it will still hurt over the next ten days. it's good of the players to show their mentality straightaway yesterday after the game finished that they are willing to bounce back and i'm sure they will be. theyjust need to obviously do more work in order to be the top team in europe. emma hayes made real reference after the game to the fact that they are the game to the fact that they are the second—best team in europe which is one hell of an achievement in itself. but of course we knew how much she wanted the gold—medal. quickly, whether chelsea go from here? leicester have been promoted, they knocked manchester united out of the fa cup, increased competition in the wsl next season? we of the fa cup, increased competition in the wsl next season?— of the fa cup, increased competition in the wsl next season? we have seen the to five in the wsl next season? we have seen the top five teams _ in the wsl next season? we have seen the top five teams who _ in the wsl next season? we have seen the top five teams who have _ in the wsl next season? we have seen the top five teams who have been - the top five teams who have been playing at a really high level, teams the top five who are recruiting and striving to be into that file. it's getting harder and harder to be winners domestically in england. whichjust goes harder to be winners domestically in england. which just goes to show that in order to stay at the top you

have to, year—on—year, keep getting better and better and learning from those disappointments such as last night for chelsea.— night for chelsea. fascinating stuff. night for chelsea. fascinating stuff- many — night for chelsea. fascinating stuff. many thanks, - night for chelsea. fascinating | stuff. many thanks, reflecting night for chelsea. fascinating . stuff. many thanks, reflecting on chelsea's defeat in the women's champions league final last night. in other news tonight, the west brom defender semi ajayi has revealed he was racially abused on social media after their premier league defeat to liverpool yesterday. the nigeria international played the full 90 minutes as they lost 2—1, thanks to a dramatic late winner from reds goalkeeper alisson. responding to a post on his account, ajayi wrote, "yet again, i come on instagram to more racial abuse after a game". and if you haven't seen it yet, i can really recommend this programme by my colleague nesta mcgregor, football, racism and social media, is available to watch on the bbc iplayer. the legendaryjockeyjoe mercer has died at the age of 86. mercer won an incredible 2,810 winners in his career and won eight british classics. one of the greats of flat—racing,

talked about it. someone might have said, "hold on a minute, isn't it going to be hot?" yes, it's going to be boiling and at midnight it will still be boiling! it's a controversial location for them to choose for many, many reasons. actually, it's a promoter�*s dream, because of the time difference it will be and 9pm saturday night. it difference it will be and 9pm saturday night.— difference it will be and 9pm saturday night. it will be perfect for us and _ saturday night. it will be perfect for us and not _ saturday night. it will be perfect for us and not the _ saturday night. it will be perfect for us and not the end _ saturday night. it will be perfect for us and not the end of- saturday night. it will be perfect for us and not the end of the - saturday night. it will be perfect i for us and not the end of the world for us and not the end of the world for the americans, it will go on the east coast for or 5pm. the real reason it's the promoter�*s dream, we can talk about the time and location and say we're trying to do what we have deleted in the 70s and take the show on the road. forget all of those things for so is the facts. the saudis have stumped up $150 million as a down payment. that gets split between the camps, that's why we are going to saudi in the middle of august. give us some context. how big a fight is this? it’s give us some context. how big a fight is this?—
