6:39 pm
in bangkok tomorrow — discussing the players tight schedule on a world cup year. fifa's showpiece event is due to take place this december in qatar and when it's over, the premier league gets back underway on boxing day. klopp has told the bbc�*s simon stone that the sport's governing body needs to be "careful" about athlete welfare and that players need rest.. fifa have got to be careful what they really want because they want high quality in the tournaments and if you have tired players you do not get high quality. england hopefully become world champions and then a week later boxing day, everyone expects you to be ready again. it has never happened before in history
6:40 pm
of football. but this it happens again and again. similar situations. so we have to make sure we talk about the right stuff and give players a rest. so they can be the players a rest. so they can be the players they are able to be and not the players left by all the intensity around. there is no comparison to it and never was. you are playing one week later again. let's see how we deal with it. we're getting to that point in the year, where the rumour mill is well underway aound transfer news — but today we have had some of those moves confirmed. austin halewood has been keeping an eye on all of it. starting with manchester united, and paul pogba has been unveiled at his new club. absolutely, this is one of the deals we know has been in the offing for a
6:41 pm
while and finally confirmed today as he was unveiled. he is one of those players who started out at manchester united and then move to juventus the first time in five years ago he then leftjuventus to return to manchester united in a world record deal of £89 million at the time. he spent five years at old trafford and when his contract run down he is returning tojuventus and a free transfer so good business from the italians if you ask me and today they said he left the club as a boy and returns now is a man and a champion. but to be honest he was always a champion at the event is the first time helping them to two league titles in italy. they will be delighted to have him back and to be honest united fans will not be overly disappointed because he started out well at old trafford but his last couple of seasons were plagued by injury and inconsistent form. it is one of those deals were everyone to be honest is pretty happy. he is happy to go, juventus
6:42 pm
happy. he is happy to go, juventus happy to have them and they do not think united fans will be too disappointed. so one united player gone — but is another staying put in cristiano ronaldo. that is what we had today but with manchester united there is always drama around so just to set the scene of the story, cristiano ronaldo of course signed for united last season on a two—year deal so still one year of his contract left. but when united did not qualify for the champions league he still believes he can play at the top level of european football so we understand if the right club came for him he would want to leave old trafford before the start of the new season. of course when he did not go with united to thailand at the pre—season tour that fuelled the rumour mill surrounding him at the moment. in a press conference today in bangkok the new manager said this is not the story at all and said he is not the story at all and said he is not the story at all and said he is not for sale and we are already planning for the new season with him
6:43 pm
as part of the plans. so a nonstarter for as part of the plans. so a nonstarterfor him but as part of the plans. so a nonstarter for him but it feels like one of those stories where there are a bit of legs left in it yet. and speaking of united legends, unconfirmed but wayne rooney looks like he's heading back to the states. he is to be the new manager of dc united, a club that he knows well having spent time there in 2018 and 2019 as a player and that was before he started his time at derby county as manager there. a tortuous 18 months when of course you remember the club went into administration, they were docked points and then relegated to league 1. and then the failed takeover bid was the straw that broke the camels back for wayne rooney who resigned after thatjust last month and it looks like his next up is going to be back in the united states. and to be honest they will be desperate to get him back in the dugout because their second from bottom in the mls and got thrashed
6:44 pm
on friday so the sooner the better for dc united and their fans. on friday so the sooner the better for dc united and theirfans. he on friday so the sooner the better for dc united and their fans. he has roven his for dc united and their fans. he has proven his abilities _ for dc united and their fans. he has proven his abilities as _ for dc united and their fans. he has proven his abilities as a _ for dc united and their fans. he has proven his abilities as a manager i proven his abilities as a manager and he will be able to take what he learnt at derby. and to the blue side of manchester — we could have raheem sterling's move confirmed, austin. it should be confirmed at any time because he had a medical yesterday and we know a fee has been agreed between manchester city and chelsea of up to £50 million. this would be there first major acquisition under there first major acquisition under the new arrows and a good signing for them and of course plenty of premier league pedigree, 77 england caps and more than 130 goals for manchester city. he is to sign a five—year deal with an option for an extra year. i spoke to manchester city fans at the weekend and you
6:45 pm
would think they would be disappointed see him go but they are not that bothered. the only slight caveat to that is they would have liked him to have gone to one of the big european clubs rather than strengthening the premier league rival in chelsea. so city fans just desperate for that not to come back and bite them in the next few seasons. . , ., , ., and bite them in the next few seasons. . , . , ., , . seasons. that is always a difficult art auoin seasons. that is always a difficult part going to _ seasons. that is always a difficult part going to a — seasons. that is always a difficult part going to a rival— seasons. that is always a difficult part going to a rival premier i seasons. that is always a difficult i part going to a rival premier league club. we will all be watching. as always, keeping across those rumours in the next few weeks, thank you. cricket now, and england's women are playing south africa in the first of three one day internationals of their multi—format series. south africa chose to bat first — chloe tryon top—scored with 88 as the tourists set england a target of 219 to win. nat sciver was the pick of the england bowlers, she took four for 59 including the important wicket of tryon.
6:46 pm
and england recovered from the early loss of tammy beaumont. and here is the latest of northampton. the series is currently level at two have until. england won only one having two in the 16th over needing another 192 win. plenty of updates from rugby union today — let's bring you some of those now. england flanker sam underhill will not be available for saturday's series decider against australia after being withdrawn from the squad because of concussion along with lock maro itoje. earlier today england boss eddiejones confirmed both would play no further part in the tour. wales wing alex cuthbert has been ruled out of the deciding third test against south africa with a shoulder injury. cuthbert suffered the injury during the first half of the 13—12 second test win in bloemfontein.
6:47 pm
keith earls will captain ireland for the first time while ulster�*s michael lowry and stuart mccloskey have been named to start tuesday's match against the maori all blacks. munster wing earls will lead a much—changed irish side after saturday's historic test win over the all blacks with ulster�*s lowry making his first start of the tour at full—back. formula 1 will investigate claims that some spectators at last weekend's austrian grand prix suffered discriminatory abuse. lewis hamilton was one of those to call for action, saying he was "disgusted and disappointed" by the reports. formula one journalist inga strakke was there and told me what she witnessed. they were sexist remarks, homophobic remarks, racist remarks, you know,
6:48 pm
it felt like aggressive behaviour at lashing out and that has no place in formula 1 and to that extent i have never experienced it in all my years in formula 1. when you're in that circle you see the fans in the grandstand, over300,000 circle you see the fans in the grandstand, over 300,000 fans over the weekend and there was a lot of orange shirts and hats. orange smoke. and after the start of the race they had to be told to stop because it was dangerous for the drivers. we also saw lewis hamilton getting booed, first of all they cheered and then they booed after this accident in qualifying. he could have been injured, it was a really bad accident and it has no place neither in silverstone nor in austria. a former, a good weekend for charles
6:49 pm
leclerc. the a former, a good weekend for charles leclerc. . , ., ., leclerc. the headlines are full of charles the _ leclerc. the headlines are full of charles the prince _ leclerc. the headlines are full of charles the prince and _ leclerc. the headlines are full of charles the prince and that i leclerc. the headlines are full of charles the prince and that the l charles the prince and that the ferrari headquarters they put up a red flag at the entrance for every victory. it is exciting for the championship because they are pretty close on points. max verstappen of course still reading and until it's time to go france and ferrari said they have the help and motivation now for the entire team with this result, that they can still win. [30 result, that they can still win. do ou feel result, that they can still win. do you feel ferrari would be under pressure now perhaps to throw their weight behind charles leclerc? if you look at the sprint race on saturday, both ferrari drivers were drawing with each other side by side and wheel to wheel next to each other through the corners. it was
6:50 pm
super exciting for the fans and for us but it timed the ferrari chances on points possibility so sooner or later i do expect them to call a number one status. just later i do expect them to call a number one status.— later i do expect them to call a number one status. just in response to the alleged _ number one status. just in response to the alleged discriminatory - to the alleged discriminatory behaviour at the event, formula 1 have given a statement and say we have given a statement and say we have had reports that some fans have been subject to completely unacceptable comments by others at the austrian grand prix. take these matters very seriously and have raised them with the promoter and event security and will be speaking to those who reported the incidents. this kind of behaviour is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. the former formula one boss bernie ecclestone is to be charged with fraud by false representation for failing to declare assests of more than four hundred million pounds following an hmrc investigation. the crown prosecution service says the "complex and worldwide investigation into the 91 year old's overseas assets showed no one was beyond its reach.
6:51 pm
there's been no comment yet from mr ecclestone. geraint thomas says he hasn't given up hopes of winning the yellowjersey at the tour de france. the welshman is one of three british riders in the top ten — he's third overall, one minute and 17 seconds behind leader pogarcher. and there's an extra hazard to negotiate in the shape of covid—19, which has forced three riders to withdraw from the race. to be honest i would still be proud to be on the podium again at the last couple of years. i have had to prove a few people wrong and at the same time i have come second before so just to make same time i have come second before
6:52 pm
sojust to make podium would be obviously an achievement. but at the same time i would definitely want to try to win as well. the main thing is to have no regrets and knowing that i tried everything i could and the team could to try to win the race. it is a long way to catch up but anything could happen in the sport of bike racing. especially these days with covid and all that jazz. so i think all the other teams are going to be all over it as we are. everyone is being super vigilant. i spoke to my son today and he has got it as well so that was annoying. the open gets underway
6:53 pm
at st andrews later this week... but there's one story in golf that continues to dominate. today, 18 time major champion jack nicklaus was asked his thoughts on the r&a's decision to not invite greg norman to the championship... norman, who is the ceo of the controversial liv golf enterprise, branded the organisation "petty" and said he was disappointed with their decision. this is what nicklaus had to say. first of all greg norman is an icon in the game of golf, a great player. we've been friends for a long time. and regardless of what happens he will remain a friend. and he and i just unfortunately do not see eye to eye on what is going on. and basically leave it at that. well all eyes will be on us open winner matt fitzpatrick as he tees off this week. last time he won at st andrews, his mum, dad and the family dog were the only spectators
6:54 pm
but the attention of thousands are on him this week as he returns a major champion. it was my first open at st andrews so you know, i wouldn't say it is one of my favourite golf courses. but to experience it in an open is amazing. it is definitely one that i watched growing up. i did not watch much golf growing up, to be honest. you can follow the open at st andrew's across the bbc from thrusday where bbc radio 5 live and bbc sounds will have live commentary of each round. there'll also be a daily highlights programme will be available on bbc two and bbc iplayer, with bbc sport website and app
6:55 pm
now the final whistle has gone at st mary's at the group stages of the women's euros. northern ireland beaten by austria in the end so if norway win this evening northern ireland will not be able to progress to the next round. england of course playing norway at eight o'clock tonight. this is their second game in group stages with two losses out of two games and this of course is the first win for austria at this tournament. before we go, there's nothing quite like a premature celebration.. especially when it gets in the way of the actual goal. this was in the canadian premier league between valour fc and hfx wanderers.. just as alessandro riggi appeared to have got his shot past the keeper and into the open net, his teammate william akio cleared the ball off the line
6:56 pm
as he ran to celebrate. look at this. almost painful to watch. don't make him watch it again, that isjust watch. don't make him watch it again, that is just cruel! watch. don't make him watch it again, that isjust cruel! and watch. don't make him watch it again, that is just cruel! and you can watch that match between england and norway on bbc one later and we look forward to that. for now, that's all from sportsday. have a great evening. we have seen temperatures hit 32 degrees today. 32.7 the highest temperature of the year so far. looking at the weather picture in the next few days it is going to get a lot hotter heading into the weekend. the met office have issued an extreme heat amber weather
6:57 pm
warning which could have some impact to health and infrastructure as temperatures are set to surge. temperatures will be in the low 30s for chester across the hottest part of the country. the peak of the heat wave is going to hit on monday. some rain working its way into scotland and northern ireland. but after such and northern ireland. but after such a hot day across england and wales temperatures will be slow to drive away. this is 11 o'clock at night and still up to 23 in birmingham, 25 degrees in london and those temperatures than slowly slip away later in the night. tuesday we pick up later in the night. tuesday we pick up on the weather front working and across parts of northern england. moving into an area of high pressure. sky is brightening up across scotland and northern ireland where we have fresh air and temperatures in the high teens to low 20s for the most part. another
6:58 pm
hot day coming up for england with temperatures reaching the low 30s. slightly less hot air pushing down into the south by wednesday. and temperatures high teens to low 20s across northern areas. not as hot but still pretty testy in london with highs of 28 on wednesday. thursday and friday temperatures picking up again and back into the 30s at the weekend. sunday temperatures up to the high 30s because we start to get some hot air that has been building across spain and portugal which starts to drift further north and that really starts to give those temperatures an extra kick into the weekend. some exceptionally high temperatures around on sunday and monday and a reminder of that uk temperature record.
