incident conveying their bright messaging the right way? i think southgate faces a chalice with that when where you are trying to let people express themselves, this growing need to allow people to be people within sports notjust in unity, performance, but it is difficult to get that right without loosing the impact of the match itself in the sport itself in telling the story. itself in the sport itself in tellin: the sto . . ., telling the story. interesting one for and worth — telling the story. interesting one for and worth reading _ telling the story. interesting one for and worth reading claude - telling the story. interesting one | for and worth reading claude from clive africa many former shadow sports minister and labour mp saying perhaps players should link arms in solidarity against racism because he's worried there is too much politicalisation of the black lives matter campaign. as another page of it that we don't have but we will leave it there. if you're in the uk, anna isaac, and joe mayes, will be back in just over half an hour to look at more of the stories being covered by newspapers and websites here. coming up next, sport and whether and i'll be back at 11 with a full round up of all the news. join me then.

good evening, i'm austin halewood with your latest sports news... england defender trent alexander arnold has been ruled out of next week's european championship. the liverpool defender picked up an injury in last night's friendly win over austria. he's torn his thigh muscle, with the injury set to keep him out for up to six weeks. gareth southgate will wait until after sunday's next warm up game against romania to decide who will replace him in the 26 man squad. there were a whole host of other friendlies tonight... and northern ireland were beaten 1—0 by ukraine. having beaten malta on sunday, ian baraclough's side couldn't build on that victory, with oleksandr zubkov scoring after only ten minutes for the hosts, who are preparing for the euros. meanwhile, republic of ireland manager stephen kenny has his first

victory after 12 matches in charge — but only after surviving a scare in their 4—1 win over andorra. it was the home side who took a shock lead early in the second half, marc vales heading home from this free kick. but that sparked ireland into life, with two goals from troy parrott before jason knight ,and then daryl horgan rounded off the win. england's cricketers hit back on day two of their first test match against new zealand at lords. after a double hundred from debutant devon conway... new zealand were all out for 378. and despite an early wobble, joe root and rory burns steadied the ship for england... leaving them on 111 for two at the close. olly foster reports. the focus of the test so far has been on two debutants. ollie robinson has taken four wickets for england, but he's also had to deliver a chastening public apology after a series of offensive teenage tweets came to light. devon conway has also been trending on social media — he put the kiwis firmly on top and was now looking

to put them out of sight. henry nicholls reached 50, but the fresh pace of mark wood was his undoing. hooked and in the air... and out. and it was robinson who took the catch — that lifted england's spirits, and no doubt his. the partnership broken, new zealand wobbled. robinson can thank zak crawley for one of his wickets — he took a fabulous catch. and taken. they bowled new zealand out for 378, but not before conway brought up his 200. that is sensational from devon conway. his name will be going on the famous lord's honours board. england's reply was unconvincing. dom sibley out for a duck for a fifth time in his short test career, trapped by kyle jamieson. crawley followed, nicking tim southee to the keeper. the match was swinging back towards the tourists and england knew it. joe root�*s arrival at the crease brought calm — panic over —

and, alongside his captain, rory burns picked his shots carefully. he reached his half century, england, finishing the day on a positive note — and they'd have taken that at the start of play. olly foster, bbc news. now to tennis and cameron norrie's good form continues. the british number two is into the third round of the french open for the first time in his career... he's the only brit left in both the men's and women's singles... and he didn't have things all his own way. he lost the first set to south africa's lloyd harris but came back to beat him in four. but next up is the biggest test of all... he takes on the is—time champion rafa nadal. the king of clay himself. who cruised into the third round earlier with a straight sets win over richard gasquet. the perfect way for nadal to celebrate his 35th birthday. the world number one novak djokovic, who's in that same side of the draw, is also through. he beat uruguaya's pablo

cuevas in three sets. roger federer also made it through today. but the women's world number one ash barty won't be going any further. she says she's heartbroken after having to retire injured during her second round match against magda linette. she now faces a race to be ready for wimbledon at the end of the month. there's also uncertainty over whether naomi osaka will play at the all england club. she's today pulled out of a grass court tournament in berlin, after withdrawing from the french open on monday. that was a day after organisers threatened to expel her for not talking to the media. osaka said she wanted to protect her mental health. it's something lewis hamilton's been reacting to today. the formula one world champion believes the way osaka's been treated isn't fair. she is incredibly brave. i applaud her for her bravery because it is now asking those in power and putting them

into question and making them think about how they react. i think the way they reacted was not good. and someone talking about their personal mental health and then being fined for it, that was not cool. and after a disappointing time trial yesterday geraint thomas caught his rivals off guard to win the fifth stage of the criterium du daphine. the briton broke clear with around half a mile to the finish and just held on to take his first stage win of this year's race. he's now sixth overall — ill seconds behind leader lukas postl—berger. chris froome could only finish 85th though and he's now ruled himself out of contention for a record—equalling fifth tour de france title later this month, saying he needs more time to rediscover his best form. the boys on the radio, they got a gap, they went all in. but the be

honest, i didn't think i had that on the line. ijust set up maybe two metres before the start to give it the big bone. but, he came to pass a fast, he nearly took my arm. but great, really nice to get that one for sure. perfect timing as well with the tour— one for sure. perfect timing as well with the tour de _ one for sure. perfect timing as well with the tour de france _ one for sure. perfect timing as well with the tour de france not - one for sure. perfect timing as well with the tour de france not too - one for sure. perfect timing as well with the tour de france not too far| with the tour de france not too far away. and that's all the sport for now. have a very good night. hello there. a bit cool on thursday. still manage temperatures into the low 20s in northern scotland. high temperature across aches and glee and the southeast. 25 degrees in suffolk. you may not find temperatures quite as high as that in the next couple of days but for many it will still be dry and there will be warm spells of sunshine as well. the flight in the ointment is all this cloud we have kept a close eye on moving on from northern parts of spain across france and threatening to bring some showers

across east anglia. we have seen more cloud coming in across english parts of england for a while, hence the higher temperatures early in the morning. some clear skies for many other areas, quite a cool start for wales and the southwest. for many on friday, it will be dry but some sunshine, the threat of the showers coming up as the cloud thickens to east anglia in the southeast and already more cloud coming into northern ireland that will be spilling its way into western parts of scotland. it could bring a few showers tore the heilan. not as warm as it was thursday for northern scotland. much of the country dry was heavy spells atop temperature of 19 degrees. a few degrees lower in northern ireland for the already more cloudy. it will be brighter towards the east. a good deal of sense time for many parts of england and wales and strong sunshine and high uv but more cloud for east anglia in the southeast for a time through the day and a threat of some showers and somewhat aware that towards kent in the east sussex. a chance we could see a little rain in a london and the cricket but it

looks dry on saturday and sunday. with some sunshine as well. that threat of showers falls away overnight in the cloud will break early on saturday morning. then into the atlantic him this is where our weather is slowly coming from for the weekend. that week with the front will bring my cloud to western parts of the uk, it could deliver some heavy showers in the afternoon across northern ireland and western parts of scotland. drier elsewhere with a more in the way of sunshine towards the south ease in this temperatures climbing up to around 23 celsius. heading into the second half of the weekend, probably starting sunday in many areas, temperatures rising and bubbling up from a little bit of cloud could produce some few showers. the sandy sky is likely to be continually around coastal areas and temperatures on sunday similar to those of saturday.
