policy, they took it to court, who decided nothing different. i think the government feel that now we are outside of the european union, we should be outside of the european court of human rights too, despite the fact they're not quite the same thing. but in terms of brexit, for our courts to be the final word, and i think what dominic raab wants to do with this sort of human rights overhaul of legislation and add to it is he wants to strengthen that case that british courts really should have the final say and we shouldn't be told what to do by other courts in other lands that might think differently. i think a lot of the electorates, that will be music to their ears. it’s music to their ears. it's interesting. _ music to their ears. it's interesting. it - music to their ears. it's interesting. it looks - music to their ears. it's interesting. it looks like the difference appeared to boil down to

it's a sight many in the tennis world doubted they'd ever see again — serena williams stepping back onto court. after all, she hasn't played since slipping in the first round of wimbledon last year, and hobbling off centre court. but after 358 days away, she made her hotly anticipated return, playing doubles on the sunny south coast. there were signs of rustiness, yes. slips and strikes, too. but then, the comeback within the comeback. she and her partner, ons jabeur, clinching what had looked an unlikely victory. did she ever doubt she'd get back to this point? absolutely, for sure. i would be dishonest if i said it wasn't, but, yeah, and now my body feels great. i mean, it's doubles — i'm only playing half the court, but i've been doing a lot of training and so it definitely feels good. not perhaps a win of old,

but a win nonetheless, with wimbledon just days away. serena isn't going there to make up the numbers, but she'll need to be slicker if she's ever to repeat so she'll need to be slicker if she's ever to repeat that record—equalling 24th grand slam win. laura scott, bbc news, eastbourne. it's also been a day to remember for many of the brits who played at the event on the south coast. jodie burrage knocked out spanish top seed and world number four paula badosa. the 23—year—old won 6—4, 6—3 to beat the spaniard and seal by far the biggest win of her career by ranking, to date. she was ecstatic as she clinched the match and will play brazil's beatriz haddad maia in the last 16. meanwhile, it was also the biggest win of katie boulter�*s career, beating last year's wimbledon runner—up karolina pliskova, coming back from a set down. she won the second and third sets to get her first win over a top ten player. she'll next play two—time wimbledon champion petra kvitova.

i'm super proud of myself today. i went out there, i didn't feel great on the court, and i worked so hard to get out there and battle and fight. against a player like that, it means so much to me coming through that. i think i just try to stay with her on and serve. i think ijust tried to stay with her on and serve. she was serving well. i had a few things that i let go off. i think that's what made the difference, closing at the game and staying with her as much i could. in the men's draw, ryan peniston's recent run of impressive form continues after he beat french open quarterfinalist holger rune in three sets. the 26—year—old will now play spain's pedro martinez for a place in the last eight. another briton is also through to the last 16 with dan evans. a 6—4, 6—3 winner over france's adrian mannarino, and he'll take on american maxime cressy tomorrow. brooks koepka is the next high—profile golfer expected tojoin greg norman's saudi

funded breakaway series. the four—time major champion is set to join the field in the second event of the series in portland, oregon next week. he'd link up with the likes of dustinjohnson, bryson dechambeau and patrick reed while mexico's abraham ancer also signed up to the liv series earlier today. the pga has suspended those who've joined the new tour. chelsea have agreed to loan romelu lukaku back to inter milan, the club he left for chelsea just 12 months ago. the deal is yet to be officially confirmed, but it'll include inter paying a loan fee of 8 million euros — around £7 million. lukaku scored 15 goals in all competitions for chelsea last season, with eight in 26 premier league appearances. rugby league has banned transgender players from women's international competition until further notice. the ruling follows a decision by swimming's world governing body — fina, to restrict trans athletes' participation. international rugby league says it needs more time before finalising its policy and wants

to "balance the individual�*s right to take part against perceived risk to other participants". advocacy groups say the policy violates human rights. the ban will apply to the world cup in england starting in october. now to cricket — and england batting coach marcus trescothick is in isolation, less than two days before the third and final test against new zealand, after contracting covid—i9. england captain ben stokes missed tuesday's training session at headingley through illness. the rest of the squad have been at headingley. england hold an unassailable 2—0 lead in the series. anthonyjoshua says he's the comeback king, and that he can still unify the heavyweight division. he's been promoting his august rematch against olexander usyk in saudi arabia, where he'll try and win back the three belts he lost to the ukrainian last year. definitely, the hunger's still there. as i've always said from the get go, stay hungry. keep the motivation high.

blips happen, things happen in life, but resilience, mental toughness, consistency will always prevail. we're still on the road to undisputed, for sure. it'sjust a little blip in the road. but i'm focused on the target, and focused on the goal. god willing, i'll perform and i will become three—time heavyweight champion the world. for more on that, you can head to the bbc sport website, but that is all your sport for now. hello there. the heat is continuing to build just for a few days, before it becomes cooler this weekend. today, it was the turn of england and wales to see temperatures into the mid 20s in the strong sunshine and blue skies. there's been much more cloud, though, across scotland and northern ireland, so temperatures today not quite as high as they were yesterday. that cloud, though, is continuing to thin, so this evening and into the night, we'll have some patchy cloud for scotland and northern ireland.

generally across england and wales, any cloud that wehave at the moment any cloud that we have at the moment will melt away and we'll have clear skies. temperatures typically overnight 11—12. could be a little bit milder than that in northern ireland if it stays cloudy here, but i suspect we'll break through that cloud and give some sunshine through the day on wednesday. and more sunshine to come across scotland, particularly in the east. the sunnier skies continue to be across england and wales. no wind at all, those temperatures rising rapidly once again, adding a couple of degrees on today's values, so for many, 26—27 degrees. it'll be a warmer day than today in northern ireland and much warmer, i think, for eastern scotland in the sunshine. but when you do have the sunshine we've got high or even very high grass pollen levels once again tomorrow. the heat is building underneath the clearer skies and light winds, under that area of high pressure, but it's getting eroded a bit on thursday, particularly from that weather front in the south. and that will bring with it some showers. it looks like those are moving a little further north more quickly, through the english channel,

into southern england, eventually into south wales, the south midlands, maybe even into east anglia before the end of the day. some sunshine ahead of that, but still some cloud for western scotland and northern ireland, so temperatures quite not so high here. otherwise, another very warm day, but because the showers are moving northwards more quickly, the highest temperatures are going to be pushed further north, through the midlands and northern england. through the midlands and things continue to break down a bit by the end of the week — pressure falling, some heavy showers around, this band of rain approaching the southwest, with cooler air coming in behind that for the weekend. we do have some heavy and potentially thundery showers still from overnight, moving northwards across northern and western parts of the uk, ahead of that band of rain in the southwest later on. so, we've got more cloud around to end the week, so temperatures are going to be a little bit lower. but with more sunshine and dry weather for eastern england, it's still going to be very warm.
