an unbelievable honour to be able to do that over the next couple of games and lead the team, that i normally have done over the pass few seasons and years, but regardless of whether i have the armband or not, i will still be the same leader i always have been for the girls. really looking forward to working underneath her and hopefully learning more about my game and for the team as well. also on friday, northern ireland women play luxenbourg and wales are in action for the first time under new head coach gemma grainger against kazakhstan women. other sports headlines out —— now. liverpool headlines out —— now. midfielder harvey elliott has undergone surgery on his injured ankle. the 18—year old was stretchered off during liverpool's 3—0 win at leeds after a challenge by defender pascal struijk, who was given a straight red. elliot's managerjurgen klopp confirmed earlier that elliott had been operated on today in london. aston martin say they are committed to sebastian vettel and are keen for him to race for them next year.

the four—time world champion has a contractual option he can exercise to continue with the team after this season. sri lanka seamer lasith malinga has retired. the 38—year—old is the most successful bowler in twenty20 international history, winning the world cup in 2014 and taking a record 107 t20 international wickets. the british axioom men's relay team could be stripped of their olympic silver medals after cj ujah's b sample also tested positive for two banned substances. it confirms the result of his initial test at the tokyo games. for more on this we're joined by our reporter, ade adedoyin. really bad news, what is the latest? when an athlete provides a sample it is split into two samples and once one of the samples is tested it

gives an option to request that the b sample is also tested in case has been an error. it is very rare that the b sample comes back differently but there have been some cases in the past and the athlete has been exonerated. in this case it has come back positive successfully as well for austrian, which is listed as having similar properties to testosterone. and the other substance is s23, which has similar properties to anabolic steroids. it will go to the community for arbitration in sport.- will go to the community for arbitration in sport. that is the next step _ arbitration in sport. that is the next step but _ arbitration in sport. that is the next step but what _ arbitration in sport. that is the next step but what will - arbitration in sport. that is the next step but what will happen arbitration in sport. that is the i next step but what will happen to the four athletes? in next step but what will happen to the four athletes?— next step but what will happen to the four athletes? in terms of the rocess the four athletes? in terms of the process itself. _ the four athletes? in terms of the process itself, when _ the four athletes? in terms of the process itself, when the - the four athletes? in terms of the process itself, when the first - process itself, when the first sample was tested, cj ujah said he was devastated and shocked and he would never knowingly try to cheat. his lawyers and himself will get the opportunity in that hearing to provide any information which they feel has resulted in this positive test and which can clear his name.

the issue is that there is a strict liability rule in sport, you are responsible for anything in your system and if they argue it came from a contaminated supplement, the chances are they will still be stripped of that silver medal. the council will make a ruling and it will go to the athletics integrity unit and if they are stripped of that medal, canada will get silver and china will move up to bronze. so unfair for the other athletes and damaging for british athletes. thank you. former yorkshire cricketer azeem rafiq has said he'll name names and give details of his racism and bullying allegations. it's after a review of the club found there was insufficient evidence that yorkshire was "institutionally racist." rafiq tweeted that he's "looking for the right platform to name names, dates and every inch of detail" of his racism and bullying allegations. he went on to say that he "needs and deserves closure, and it's clear that won't come because the game wants to stay as it is and not welcome people

from all walks of life." the independent review upheld seven of his 43 allegations of racism and bullying while he played at the club. andy murray has urged british tennis officials to capitalise on emma raducanu's us open victory by bringing more and more children into the sport. murray feels raducanu's win provides a "huge opportunity" for the sport in this country. raducanu is continuing to enjoy the limelight in new york, attending the met gala last night. her extraordinary victory over the weekend was watched by millions around the world — including murray, who praised her performance and said the lta needed to make the most of the situation. incredible, what she did there. i think, obviously, for a lot of the people involved in british tennis, we knew that she was extremely good. she had not completed much through

the last 18 months or so with school and coronavirus and those sort of things. but i think that wimbledon everyone got a glimpse as to just how good she could be. i have spent a little bit of time around her. on the practice court. but more so in the practice court. but more so in the same building, training close to each other. watching what she is doing. she is really, really, obviously really good. what she did in new york was very special. yes, it is a huge boost for british tennis. hopefully the governing bodies will have an opportunity to capitalise on that and get more kids involved in the sport and everything. yes, it is great what she did and like i said, a huge opportunity for british tennis.

well, raducanu's astonishing us open triumph has led to some sports marketing experts predicting that she could earn around £20 million over the next two years — and that could be just the start. draw parallels between two ladies. wozniacki is earning in excess of $30 million through sponsorship alone and last year it was in excess of $59. it is not inconceivable that at some stage, emma could, and this is not in the immediate term, nor would it be desirable to go too fast, too soon.— would it be desirable to go too fast, too soon. one of the more impressive _ fast, too soon. one of the more impressive things _ fast, too soon. one of the more impressive things i _ fast, too soon. one of the more impressive things i saw - fast, too soon. one of the more impressive things i saw over - fast, too soon. one of the more j impressive things i saw over the weekend — impressive things i saw over the weekend outside the actual match itself _ weekend outside the actual match itself was — weekend outside the actual match itself was her message in mandarin. to the _ itself was her message in mandarin. to the chinese audience. the problem western_ to the chinese audience. the problem western sports stars have is breaking _ western sports stars have is breaking the language barrier and if

hello. well, it was certainly a wash—out across parts of england today. we saw over a month's worth of rainfall in a few spots in east anglia in the last 12 hours. it's all courtesy of this area of low pressure which affected the majority of england through the day, slowly clearing out into the north sea, taking the heavy rain with it, a legacy ofjust a few showers and some cloud across eastern england. and there will be just one or two showers, i think, peppering northern and western parts of scotland, but elsewhere should be dry. but because of all the rain, certainly for england and wales, it's going to be quite muggy, misty and damp. further north, we'll see temperatures dropping to single figures under clear skies. otherwise quite mild in the south. now into wednesday, and indeed into thursday, this ridge of high pressure will build, and that'll settle things down quite nicely and we should see quite a bit of sunshine around. so the middle part of the week is actually looking like being the best part of the week with regards to dry and sunny weather around. now, it could start quite grey and murky for many

areas for wednesday, one or two showers across the far east of england. could see the odd weather front there. maybe this weather front bringing some showers to northern and western scotland and into northern ireland, but elsewhere it will be dry with increasing amounts of sunshine into the afternoon. temperatures responding — 21, maybe 22 degrees. otherwise the high teens for most. thursday, ithink, looking like being the driest and sunniest day of the week for most of us. could start off with some mist and dense fog patches around, which tend to clear, allowing for some sunny spells to develop. bit of cloud into the afternoon. signs of it turning a bit breezier and cloudier across the far northwest ahead of this new weather front, but it could turn quite warm in the south and the east. we could see highs around 23 degrees. but then it's all change as we head on into friday. a new look weather system pushing in from the west will introduce stronger winds, cloud, outbreaks of rain, mainly to western areas. i think it's western scotland, northern ireland, into western england and wales which will see the rain. eastern parts of scotland, and certainly eastern england, will stay dry all day with some sunny spells, but it's going to be a blustery day for all, particularly in the northwest, as that weather front moves in.

temperatures here, mid to high teens. again, with some sunshine in the southeast, we could see 20—22 celsius. bit of uncertainty with the details into the weekend, but it does look like lower pressure wants to be nearby, some weather fronts around too, so it's going to be quite a mixed picture, i think, both saturday and sunday — quite a bit of cloud around, bit of sunshine, too, but there will always be a threat of rain. stay tuned to the forecast.
