now on bbc news, it is time for sports day. hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm olly foster. they've already won their series but there's no let up from england's women as they beat south africa again. danish delight at the tour de france — tomorow there'll be champagne on the champs elysees forjonas vingegaard. and, the flying ferrari — can leclerc cut verstappen�*s championship lead before formula 1's summer break? good evening. england's women had already won their multi—format series against south africa, but didn't take their foot off the gas in worcester today, winning their second t20 match by six wickets.

they have one more t20 before they turn their attention to the commonwealth games in birmingham where they'll face south africa again. the england skipper heather knight sat out the game with a hip problem, her replacement, the teenager alice capsey had a good debut while katherine brunt made bowling history. lydia campbell reports. the final chance for a pep talk before the match will have included the aim of getting these two out early. but south africa's openers were making life difficult, the opening partnership bringing up a century. but finally the breakthrough came, teenager alice capsey on her debut found a wicket with just her second ball. the wickets tumbled from there, the last one making history — katherine brunt�*s103rd t20 wicket.

that is an england women's record. england needed 149 to win, but with dunkley, wyatt and smith all removed, it was time removed, it was time for the stand—in captain to step up. she raced to a7, butjust when she thought she would be leading england home, this happened — an unfortunate run out. but by then they win was already in reach. a review into racism in scottish cricket, due to be released on monday, is expected to say there's evidence of institutional racism within the game. sportscotland commissioned an independent investigation last year after allegations of racism and discrimination, including claims from scotland's all time leading wicket taker, majid haq. cricket scotland said it would work to implement any recommendations made as part of the review. we had the last competitive stage at the tour de france today and thouthonas vingegaard didn't

win the time trial, the dane has done enough over the past three weeks to be sure of wearing the yellow jersey up the champs elysees tomorrow. joe lynskey reports. after three weeks on the road, he was out in front on his own. alljonas vingegaard had to do was stay on his bike. he had the yellowjersey, and second place was more than three minutes behind. that would barely change in a time trial, so in the last outpost before paris they all looked for a stage win. these rides are geraint thomas�* specialty, he was secure in third but this time on the day he was a few seconds of the day. jonas vingegaard also hoped to finish the day with a win.

with that scare, he backed off. out in front overall, jonas vingegaard has never stopped. through all those weeks of solitude, this was the release. denmark's second grand tour winner will ride into paris and know it was worth it. formula 1 is in france for the last grand prix before a five—week summer break. once again, it looks set to be a battle between red bull's world champion max verstappen and charles leclerc, who managed to put his ferrari on pole for tomorrow's race. nick parrott reports. summer in the south of france, and unlike the last grand prix in austria, there was serenity in the stands. all the tension was on the track. this will be lewis hamilton's 300th race in formula 1. in qualifying, he got better of his team george to claim fourth on the grid. that was the best he could manage.

with his hopes dashed, he helped out charles driving ahead of him created a slipstream to allow his team—mate to go faster. it paid off handsomely, securing pole over max verstappen by three tenths of a second. if he can convert his seventh pole of the season into a 41, that he will enjoy summer break. also at the paul ricard circuit, jamie chadwick made it five wins from five races in this season's w series. despite starting from third, the british driver took the lead on the first lap and maintained her lead to the end, despite two safety car periods. she now has a maximum 125 points and leads second placed brit abbi pulling by 70 points in the all—female series. the next round takes place in hungary with five races remaining this season. the last of the women's euros quarterfinals kicks off

in the next 20 minutes or so. some important team news for the netherlands, vivianne miedema is back after missing the last two group games with covid. the arsenal striker only returned to training yesterday. she could be the spark they need. netherlands head coach mark parsons says they need to improve on their group performances if they are to make it through to the semi—finals. i think france, england, sweden come in to the tournament on fire. i was very clear months ago that we were not going to be the team coming in on fire, and we have to build, we have to improve, and we have to continue to learn and grow. we have done that but we have also taken a lot of hits. despite that, this group continues to get stronger off the pitch. we have ta ken steps forward on the pitch, but we want to take more steps the pitch. france have made five changes to the team that drew with iceland

in their final group game. remember, germany are waiting for the winners of this one. the french are looking to reach the euros semifinals for the first time. translation: that's | the goal for tomorrow, we know we will have to suffer together as well as enjoy it together. we have to play, let ourselves go, take risks, so basically do everything that you like to do when you're on a football pitch. we'll have to do is attempt in at least 90 minutes, it more. brooke henderson still has the lead heading into the final round of the evian championship in france, she's in search of her second major golf title. the canadian had a three shot advantage at the halfway stage after back—to—back 64s on lake geneva, but went round in 68 and is nowjust a couple of strokes ahead of the south korean, so yeon ryu. england's charley hull is currently tied for sixth, six shots off the top of the leaderboard. but take a look at this eagle

from her on the 11th hole. matt hudson—smith revealed that he tried to take his own life last year after a career plagued with injuries — but the 27 year old had his best result on the global stage overnight, bronze in the 400 metres at the world championships, great britain's fourth medal in oregon. our sports correspondent, andy swiss, is there for us. the moment of realisation. a medal for matt hudson—smith, and few have fought so hard for it. in lane five, hudson—smith is the european champion at 400 metres, but he has been blighted by injuries. he had to miss last year's olympics, but finally he showed what he could do. america's michael norman and grenada's kiranijames were beyond him, but he gritted his way to the gutsiest of bronzes. commentator: but it's - michael norman for the gold. kirani james, hudson—smith. after all the setbacks, all the struggles, you could see just what it meant.

well, just look at matt hudson—smith. what a moment for him. he has had so many injury problems over the years, but now finally, he is a world medallist. it has been a whirlwind, like, these past three years — achilles tendon tears, hamstring tears, a lot of mental health issues, and this is just the start, like i said, so i'm going to enjoy it. but the performance of the day, indeed one of the performances of the decade, came from a america's sydney mclaughlin, as she beat her own world record in the 400 metres hurdles by nearly three—quarters of a second. commentator: sydney mclaughlin smashes the world record! - in a sport of the finest margins, a quite extraordinary feat and the defining display of these championships. andy swiss, bbc news, eugene. that's all from sportsday. goodbye. coming up next on bbc news it's the uk's hottest day: a new normal?

the uk is experiencing unprecedented heat, records have been broken, the highest level of weather warnings are out there. i'm nick miller from bbc weather and coming up with a host of experts, we'll be letting you know everything about extreme heat and how to stay safe in it. when it comes to extreme heat, there are lots of different weather

warnings and i know sometimes, that can be confusing. you'll have heard about heat health alerts and there are also extreme heat warnings from the met office. heat health alerts are really directed towards healthcare professionals to let them know periods of high temperatures are on the way and they have to focus on the needs of the people in their care so they don't suffer in the heat. extreme heat warnings from the met office are directed at all of us to say, "look, this may impact your lives, cause some disruption. "extreme heat and heat waves are on the way."

they can be amber and, of course, the highest level, which is red. and the extreme heat warnings from the met office only started in 2021 and that's because, well, if you think about it, we warn for heavy rain that causes flooding, we warn for winter storms that can bring severe disruption. why wouldn't we warn for extreme heat, because that can bring widespread travel disruption and, of course, heat has serious impacts on people's health. it's very rare for us to issue a red warning at — for any kind of weather. we are expecting unprecedentedly hot temperatures for the uk over a large area. and all our warnings are based on the impact that we expect that to have on human health and property and infrastructure and when we put out a red, we mean we expect danger to life and widespread infrastructure disruption, so we really do want people to take it seriously and take action. the predictions were spot—on — this has been the hottest day recorded in the uk. in coningsby, in lincolnshire, the thermometer hit 40.3 degrees centigrade.

in fact, 29 places across england have broken the old record, which was 38.7 degrees. scotland has experienced its hottest day on record with the temperature reaching 34.8 degrees centigrade, in charterhall in the scottish borders. and it's notjust daytime temperatures we're talking about. provisional figures show last night was also the warmest on record, that was in emley moor in west yorkshire, where it reached 25.9 degrees centigrade — that was overnight. even before noon today, a new uk temperature record was set — 39.1 degrees in charlwood, and that's in surrey. but that did not last long — it was broken about an hour later at london heathrow, where 40.2 degrees was recorded. and then, later in the afternoon, another record — coningsby in lincolnshire hit that 40.3 degrees.

so, why is a temperature of 40 celsius or above so significant in the uk? some of us have been on holiday and experienced temperatures like that but, then again, we're relaxing, we can have a dip in the pool, go in the sea. whereas in this country with temperatures that high, many of us will be trying to get on a train to go to work, many of us will be working outside in heat like that. we are not prepared for temperatures like that in the uk. the infrastructure around us isn't prepared to cope with temperatures like that in the uk. a lot of our homes and a lot of our places of work are far too hot inside when it gets to these high temperatures and there's not many places for people to go for respite. we can forecast these things in advance, so we have some early warning, so i think what we need to do is really change that housing and our cities and the way that we're living, because it's often those types of things that go wrong. so, after we've had that early warning, people don't know what to do, they don't know

where to go, their houses are built
