the french club have confirmed that the six—time ballon d'or winner has signed a two—year contract with the option of a further year. the argentina star said on tuesday that he is impatient to start a new chapter of his career in paris, and that the club and its vision are in perfect harmony with his owns ambitions. he added that he was looking forward to stepping out onto the pitch at the parc des princes, and was determined to help build something special for the club and the fans. katie gornall takes us through us the events on a momentous day in the french capital. chanting. he was dressed a bit like a tourist. but this was no ordinary day—tripper. lionel messi, one of the game's greatest players, had arrived at a french airport ready to sign for paris saint—germain. fans, some of whom had been waiting for days, could barely contain themselves. i watched him play in barcelona, and how he acted, how he's playing with his team—mates, how he's finding ways to play the ball, it'sjust amazing. and his goals, his free kicks,

everything is just amazing. brilliant from lionel messi. in a tearful farewell press conference on sunday, messi said he never wanted to leave the club he joined when he was 13, but due to la liga salary cap rules, they could no longer afford to keep him. barcelona kept spending, spending, spending. you know what happens if at home you spend more that you have, you cannot afford certain things. so, right now, if you look at what happened last season with a87 million euros in debt, just from last season, plus the wages of the players, it's110% of what comes in,

so technically barcelona are bankrupt. and paris saint—germain was perhaps always the most likely destination, a club backed by qatari money and already littered with stars, including kylian mbappe and his former barca team—mate, neymar. barcelona are now moving on without their biggest star. for messi, a new story is beginning. katie gornall, bbc news. there'll be no champions league for rangers this season, after they were beaten 2—1 on the night at ibrox and 4—2 on aggregate by malmo in the third qualifying round. 2—1 down from the sweden leg, rangers began well and made the tie all square through alfredo morelos. then, despite having a man sent off malmo began to regain control, and antonio cholak restored their overall lead. five minutes later, cholak was allowed through the rangers defence to add another. steven gerrard's side move down

to the europa league qualifiers. manchester originals took on london spirit at old trafford. and in the men's fixture, defeat eliminates spirit, while originals can go top if they win. despite the wind, spirit remain bottom of the table. in the women's match, london spirit were also victorious, but they didn't get off to the best start. tammy beaumont out to just the second ball of the innings, but they pulled it back with an impressive comeback to effectively elimate the originals. spirit are now fifth in the table. staying with cricket, and england could be without stuart broad for their second test against india, with the bowler picking up a calf injury in today's warm—up. broad was unable to train this afternoon, and will have a scan tomorrow to determine the extent

of the injury. england and india drew the series opener at trent bridge last week. the second test starts on thursday at lord's. the icc say cricket has more than 1 billion fans a worldwide, and they see the games as part of its long—term future. they set up a working group to lead the bid which is focused on making the 2028 olympics in los angeles. it would and a 128 year wait for the sport to be included. it previously appeared in the 1900 olympic games in paris. british number onejohana konta is through to the second round of the wta event in montreal, as she returned to the court having missed out on the tokyo olympics after catching covid. konta lost the first set 6—4 to shuai zhang from china. she then led 5—2 in the second set before zhang retired with a leg injury. but a tough match next, she'll face world number five elina svitolina. harriet dart is also through

and will play bianca andrescu. but bad news for cameron norrie — he was beaten two sets to one by world number 28 karen khachanov in the first round of the canadian open in toronto. and that's all the sport for now. from me and the rest of the team, bye—bye. hello. tuesday brought us our first 25 celsius day in the uk in over two weeks. and, whilst some of that warmth will still be felt on wednesday across the south and east of the country with some sunny spells, clouding over into the afternoon, it's the cloudier conditions in the north and west which will bring different conditions compared to what we've seen. much more in the way of rain and breeze, all courtesy of these weather fronts pushing in off the atlantic. heaviest of the rain into the start of the day across parts of northern ireland and the very far west of scotland, but quite a mild and humid start here, 14—15 celsius.

fresher in the east, where there will be a few mist and fog patches, but the best of the morning sunshine. now, the sunshine, as i said, will be best, clouding over from the west, so there's still some sunny spells to the south and the east. northern ireland should cheer up into the afternoon with some sunshine, and into late afternoon, we'll see that sunshine develop across western scotland, too. but after the morning sunshine across the far north, into orkney and eastern parts of scotland, a rather damp afternoon, rain coming and going. rain at times in northwest england, though areas around the merseyside, now, that weather front bringing the rain actuallyjust fizzles as it pushes its way eastwards as we go into wednesday night and thursday morning. not much in it as it reaches parts of southern england, the midlands and east anglia. clearer skies to the north of it means a cooler night to take us into thursday, particularly across scotland and northern ireland.

temperatures more widely into single figures. but for thursday, we're between two weather fronts, one which is stalling across the south of the country and this next one across the deepening area of low pressure out to the west of the uk. does mean most will start off dry with some sunshine, a few showers around. a lot more cloud, though, southern counties of england, east anglia, with some patchy rain and drizzle which will move its way a bit further northwards through the day. but to the north and west, the breeze will pick up, gales across western parts of scotland, parts of northern ireland, too, and some heavy bursts of rain later. in the sunshine, though, for many, temperatures still where we should be for the time of year, 20—24 celsius. friday sees yet more in the way of heavy, thundery showers across parts of western scotland. winds remain strong. blustery day for all. still some cloud lingering across the south, but sunshine elsewhere. bye for now.
