campaigning and speaking out on recently. it's a legislatively complex because you don't want to accidentally rule out the need for therapy of people questioning their gender identity but as theresa may says, just because something is complex and hard, doesn't mean it should be addressed. borisjohnson, by seemingly ignoring this now and seeing it as a boxed ticked, it's not going to go away and it does need dealing with.— not going to go away and it does need dealing with. interesting front nae, need dealing with. interesting front page. because _ need dealing with. interesting front page. because he _ need dealing with. interesting front page, because he of _ need dealing with. interesting front page, because he of articles - need dealing with. interesting front page, because he of articles by - need dealing with. interesting front page, because he of articles by six| page, because he of articles by six former prime ministers on the subject and britain's for his pride. the 50th anniversary of britain's first bride — the 50th anniversary of britain's first pride and that is why they're doing _ first pride and that is why they're doing this — first pride and that is why they're doing this front—page piece and also, _ doing this front—page piece and also, it— doing this front—page piece and also, it is— doing this front—page piece and also, it is interesting some of the things— also, it is interesting some of the things that — also, it is interesting some of the things that theresa may has said single _ things that theresa may has said single borisjohnson, don't let this fall down_ single borisjohnson, don't let this fall down the agenda and saying that equally, _ fall down the agenda and saying that equally, she felt like in her career

plenty of success too for the remaining brits in this years competition. on centre court this afternoon there was a a stunning victory for wildcard katie boulter. she produced a fantastic fightback to beat last years runner—up karolina pliskova. she lost the first set but came back to seal a 3—6; 7—6; 6—4 win. she was very emotional afterwards, dedicating the win to her gran, who she revealed died just two days ago. 0h, oh, i'm going to get emotional. my crowning passed away two days ago and i would just like to dedicate that to her today. s it's very difficult for anybody in that circumstance but i think they have the match to look forward to is one way you can put your head in the place to come out and give a

performance like that. her grandpa and her mum were there today and i think that gives her extra meaning to get the victory today. meanwhile heather watson has matched her best wimbledon singles performances. she's through to the third round after beating wang qiang earlier. she only needed one game today to wrap up a 7—5 6—4 victory in a match halted by darkness yesterday. she'll face slovenian kaja juvan on friday. it was a great day too for liam broady. like boulter, he's a wildcard at this years championships, but he came from two sets to one down to beat argentine 12th seed diego schwartzman. a phenomenal victory for broady who is ranked 117 places below schwartzman, this is his best run at a major. it's been a summer of emergence for britain's numberfourjack draper, but the 20 year old lost in four sets to the 19th seed from australia alex di minaur. draper's moved into the world's top 100 with his grass performances

at queen's and eastbourne, but exits wimbledon at the second round stage on court number one. england's women have wrapped up their preparations for the home european championships with a convincing 4—0 win away to switzerland. all eyes now to the tournament opener next week at old trafford against austria. jo currie watched the match for us in zurich. the science of been good for england going into the euros, 30 matches and beaten with just one more challenge to go. in this area, fans took the chance to see their teams in action were more time before waving the mall. the players had one last chance to take a claim for starting place. perhaps it was the heap of both sides made a sluggish start. testing this was keeper, that is saying a lackluster first 45 minutes. in front of a record cloud

ofjust 10,000, minutes. in front of a record cloud ofjust10,000, they started the second half better, finally finding a breakthrough with the highball and russo with the header. it took a penalty for england to score again and lauren had a cracking english effort in the aspartate. stepping up to put the ball away. england claimed the line and third moments later and started to ramp up the pace before substitute jill scott making her 157th england appearance robbed of the night with a memorable goal and celebrations to match. {lance goal and celebrations to match. once we not a goal and celebrations to match. once we got a copple _ goal and celebrations to match. once we got a copple of — goal and celebrations to match. once we got a couple of balls, _ goal and celebrations to match. outs: we got a couple of balls, we just got off from there. and yeah, we've had a brilliant and just raring to go now. had a brilliant and 'ust raring to to now. ., , , , go now. the next time the lionesses ste ed go now. the next time the lionesses stepped out. — go now. the next time the lionesses stepped out. it _ go now. the next time the lionesses stepped out, it will— go now. the next time the lionesses stepped out, it will be _ go now. the next time the lionesses stepped out, it will be a _ go now. the next time the lionesses stepped out, it will be a packed - stepped out, it will be a packed house at old trafford against austria and just six days' time but once again, all i had to be on the england team carrying the hopes of a

nation. it's been a really frustrating day at taunton. the rain bringing an early end to the final days play in the one—off test between england's women and south africa. the match was drawn. two heavy showers meant only 43 overs of play were possible, leaving south africa 181—5, 48 ahead and with england denied the opportunity of a run chase. i think mainly it's the rain that has the test matches have been come to the big crescendo as you expect, that they gives a good christian dog is both teams like to push the game forward. i'm pretty clear in my opinion we play—test so if you would so sparsely and i think it should be five days to try to make a result. elsewherejos buttler has been confirmed as england's new white—ball captain. the wicketkeeper replaces world cup—winning captain eoin morgan, who retired from international cricket this week. buttler was morgan's vice—captain and has previously led england in nine one—day internationals

and five twenty20s. great britain's dina asher—smith won the women's 200m in a photo finish at the diamond league series in stockholm. the reigning 200m world champion clocked 22.37 seconds — just three thousandths of a second ahead of switzerland's mujinga kambundji. it was asher—smith's last race before next month's world championships in eugene the culture secretary nadine dorries has been described as "a little bit disrespectful", after her speech at a rugby league world cup event this afternoon. reminicing about her favourite league moment, she went on to describe the moment england won, the rugby union world cup in 2003. have a listen.

and that's all the sport for now. hello again. thursday was a day of sunshine and showers, but the day's showers were a lot bigger than recent days. there were quite a few thunderstorms and, indeed, quite a number of those showers and storms have lasted into the first part of the night — travelling across the midlands, working towards northeast england. now, those showers will gradually calm down over the next few hours, but at the same time, we could see a bit of rain just grazing northeast scotland over the next few hours. here are your morning temperatures. now, friday is another unsettled day. threat of rain across northeast scotland, otherwise, many of you starting off on a bright note with some dry weather and sunshine. showers will get going, though, through the middle part of the morning, and in the afternoon, they become widespread. some of them heavy and thundery, particularly across eastern areas.

northern ireland sees rain to end the day. most of us, though, seeing a bit of sunshine at least at some point, temperatures similar to recent days with a stronger wind compared with the last couple of days. the outlook — more showers on the way for saturday. there's a tendency for the weather to become drier, a bit sunnier and warmer into next week.
