8a sent the match into a super over. england went on to claim the trophy for the first time. to the world athletics championships in oregon, where ethiopia's gotytom gebreslase has won the women's marathon. gebreslase's finished the fast and flat course in a championship record time of two hours, 18 minutes, 11 seconds, holding off judithjeptum korir by nine seconds. it's now back—to—back wins for ethiopia in the world marathon on the streets of eugene as tamirat tola won the day before in a championship record time as well. belgium's women footballers are into the knockout stages of a major tournament for the first time, thanks to a 1—0 win over italy in their euro 2022 group d clash. tine de caigny struck the decisive goal four minutes after half—time, a goal which means belgium take second place in group d behind france, who drew 1—1 with iceland. it means belgium will take on 0lympic silver medallists sweden in the quarterfinals.

i think we did a greatjob today. we did a greatjob the last ten days in england, we did a greatjob in the preparation of this tournament, so, also very happy for every player who did a lot of work also, ourstaff, player who did a lot of work also, our staff, and player who did a lot of work also, ourstaff, and our fantastic supporters here. that i also receive in belgium. meanwhile, in the men's game, robert lewandowski has joined up with her new team—mates ahead of completing his move from bayern munich to barcelona. this was the moment the striker met up with barcelona's squad who are in miami ahead of a us tour. despite the introductions, the deal isn't yet complete. an agreement of around $50 million has been struck with bayern, but the striker still needs to complete his medical before officially joining. and for the first time, the sport of slack lining has held its inaugural world championships. taking place in switzerland at an altitude of 2,252 metres, 31 athletes from all over the world competed

in the categories speed line and freestyle. there were plenty of clever tricks on show, most notably from france's louise lenoble as she won the women's freestyle with this effort, while the usa's davis hermes pulled off this trick to win the men's category. but from me, and the rest of the sport team, goodbye. you may well remember the wild boar soccer team who became trapped in cave in thailand in 2018 when monsoon rains flooded the tunnels. the rescue story is now the subject of a new film as claudia redmond reports. four years on from the dramatic rescue of 12 boys and their soccer coach from a cave in thailand, their story has been brought to the big screen by academy award winning director, ron howard. 13 lives had a special

screening in london on monday. it was just so intense but more importantly, underneath all of it, is also a very contemporary theme that we need to remind ourselves of, and that is how powerful we can all be, internationally or on a community level, when we pull together. you know, it's stunning what was achieved. what are you thinking? just a crazy idea. collin farrell, viggo mortensen and joel edgerton play the heroic rescuers. they prepared for their roles by working with real—life divers rick stanton and john volanthen, who admitted to not knowing who farrell was before filming began. i had no idea who collin was because i'm not really a movie buff but he seems to have done a really good job. he seems to be very diligent. he even took up running as a method actor, as it were. he's done a really good job. the complicated rescue operation back in 2018 took nearly three weeks as the world watched on. ron howard said it was notjust about the heroic divers but an entire community. claudia redmond, bbc news.

that is business stories next, see you soon. —— latest. hello, there. monday's heat was extraordinary, not least because it covered a really wide area. 38.2 celsius the highest temperature recorded at santon downham in suffolk, very close to the all—time uk record. jersey had its hottest day on record. wales had its hottest day on record as well, and with this met office red warning for extreme heat still in force through tuesday, some places could see temperatures get even higher than that. because we start tuesday morning in a wedge of exceptionally hot air. this is actually the air overhead. the hottest it will have been throughout the whole of this heatwave period. so as the sun gets to work on that, after starting temperatures like these, well, those values will really start to rise very quickly

as we go through the morning where we hold onto sunshine. most of us will have a sunny start. the further east you are, you can expect to keep sunshine through into the afternoon, potentially one or two showers, but for northern ireland, for wales, the southwest of england, we are going to see more cloud, maybe some showers and thunderstorms working in here, cloud bringing some rain into western parts of scotland as well. for western parts, a little bit cooler than it has been, but for the east, still some extremely high temperatures. maybe middle 30s across parts of southern scotland. and for some of these central and eastern parts of england, temperatures could climb to a0—a2 celsius. so that would be unprecedented. through tuesday night, we will see some rain across northern scotland and some showers and thunderstorms elsewhere. it starts to turn a little bit fresher from the west, so by the end of the night, temperatures in glasgow and belfast will be around 1a degrees. still very warm across central and eastern parts of england, still in the midst of this very warm air. but we do see these

cooler conditions pushing in from the west as we get into wednesday. so a different feel to the weather on wednesday. we will see some showers around, maybe some thunderstorms popping up, perhaps most especially across central and eastern parts of england as we go through the afternoon. some spells of sunshine as well, but temperatures much lower. still 28—29 celsius across eastern england, more like 19 celsius for northern ireland and the western side of scotland. we stick with those cooler conditions for the rest of the week. there will be some sunny spells, but some bursts of rain at times. some of that rain could be heavy, possibly thundery. bye for now.
