good evening, i'm tt and this is your sports news where we start with football and ukraine are through to a world cup play off decider against wales on sunday. they beat scotland 3—1 at hampden park and jane dougall was watching. the flag of the opposition emblazed on a government building in glasgow. a scottish take on the ukrainian national anthem. and this group of children, ukrainian orphans, but with a new home in scotland, making their way to watch the match. for a football game, there has been an unusually warm welcome for the opposing fans, but in these times, the game itself seems irrelevant. we were promised that the scots would give us a big cheer here and that is what is happening. scotland has been so supportive of ukraine and we really appreciate that.

i'm sure the scotland team will go out and do it tonight. _ we do have some pity for ukraine because of the circumstances, but we definitely want scotland to win. as the sun shone on hampden, the national anthems began. a moment, perhaps, for this. and the high emotions helped ukraine. scotland keeper craig gordon twice called upon in 20 minutes. first, a fingertip save, then blocking the shot, before smothering it. adrenaline was coursing through the ukraine team. west ham's yarmolenko with a great first touch and finish. a broken nation celebrated. and from a training base in kyiv, soldiers celebrated the goal under the curfew. not long after the restart, ukraine came again and headed home for a second. and ukraine are 2—0 up!

scotland's first chance didn't come until the second half, and finally, a mcgregor shot forced its way across the line. but ukraine were not finished. a final push, a final goal. euphoria for the visitors. scotland's world cup dream over, ukraine's very much alive. jane dougall, bbc news, hampden park. ukraine's opponents for the world cup play off place will be wales who were beaten 2—1 by poland in the nation's league. they went ahead after jonny williams scored. but star players like gareth bale and aaron ramsey weren't risked on the night ahead of the big play off. substitute jakub kaminski equalised before another sub karol swiderski scored the winner. wales will face ukraine in cardiff on sunday. and over in wembley, lionel messi has picked up another trophy. he set up lautaro martinez as argentina beat italy 3—0 in a relaunched competition called the finalissima. it's where the winners

of the south american and european continental trophies play each other which also saw giorgio chiellini end his international career. both paul pogba and jesse lingard will leave manchester united when their contracts expires at the end of this month on free transfers. pogba joined united aged 16 before leaving to joinjuventus. when he returned in 2016 for £89million, he was the most expensive signing of all time. the aftermath from the chaos seen following the champions league final between liverpool and real madrid continues with one senior french official saying that 'the people of liverpool pose public order problems�*. the claim was made to the french senate by interior minister gerald darmanin.

the police used tear gas and left ticket holders waiting for hours outside the stadium ahead of the game. it was also confirmed earlier that 2,700 ticketed supporters had been unable to enter due to the problems outside the stadium. ben stokes says ticket prices should be reviewed ahead of his first match as england test captain against new zealand. sales have been sluggish for the opening game at lord's of the three match series. james anderson and stuart broad are back though — having been dropped for the series in west indies earlier this year. and it will be the first time brendan mccullum takes charge as head coach too. stokes is looking forward to getting started. trying to do the same thing that i've done and the games i've played are ready to try to win the game for england. ijust have a bit more to think about now. but i'm excited, i do not see this as any hand or on what i bring to the team is a few people have escalated their might but i'm just very, very excited to get going. there was another epic in the men's draw at the french open with marin cilic beating andrey rublev in over four hours. the croatian becomes only the fifth

active player to reach the last four of every grand slam. the 33—year—old took the fifth and deciding set in a tie—break. rublev has now lost all five grand slam quarterfinals he's reached so far in his career. in the women's draw world number one and former champion iga swiatek is through to the semi—finals after beating jessica pegula to extend her unbeaten run to 33 matches. thed pole's next opponent is russian daria kasatkina. and the queens platinum jubilee honours have been announced — several sporting figures have been recognised including cricketer moeen ali who received an mbe. among the others are wales captain gareth bale who receives an mbe for services to football and charity, as does liverpool's james milner. former footballer and commentator rio ferdinand gets an obe and there's also an mbe for former england spin bowler monty panesar. and that's all the sport for now.

hello. if you've been dodging the showers today, they will be fading through this evening to leave the night dry and increasingly clear — although we will see more cloud pushing back into the far northwest of northern ireland, maybe some patchy rain here through the early hours. also some areas of mist and fog developing through parts of eastern england and east anglia. a cool night wherever you are, 5—9 celsius the overnight low, a few rural areas dropping a few degrees lower. this area of high pressure is the dominant future tomorrow, keeping an eye on what's happening in france and liberia — that will bring some impacts to us through saturday and sunday. this feature here will bring a cloudier day across northern ireland with some updates of rain gradually working eastwards. elsewhere, plenty of sunshine to start the day — we will keep that into the afternoon, although there will be more cloud building, bringing the chance of a few showers across parts of scotland in northern england. but for most, a much drier day, a warmer day, temperatures in the mid—to—high teens, maybe 21—22 celsius in central and southern england. and it's warmer for most of us

during the platinum jubilee weekend with some spells of sunshine, but the chance of some heavy showers and thunderstorms.
