hello there, we'll start with formula 1, where the world champion max verstappen has built up a huge lead in the drivers standings after victory at the french grand prix. he's now 63 points clear of ferarri's charles leclerc who says says he doesn't deserve to be world champion after spinning out of the race. there was a better day for mercedes, with lewis hamilton and george russell both on the podium. adam wild reports. the french grand prix may have an uncertain future but for now, it's here and amidst the anthem it is quite unmistakable. charles leclaire began out in front but in the rear—view mirror, the title rival max verstappen was very far behind.

nothing was letting up. charles leclerc�*s race ending agonisingly ended in a tyre wall. ferrari's frustration summed up in one anguished radio message. screaming. that left verstappen a clear run and he wasn't likely to let that go. behind him, though, the battles continued, lewis hamilton in his 300th grand prix secured a second whilst behind him, george russell passed to sergio perez to take his place on the podium. a good day for mercedes and even better for verstappen. it will take something extraordinary to stop him now. adam wild, bbc news. england have drawn their one—day series 1—1 against south africa. that's after the decider at headingley was abandoned becasue of the rain. only 28 overs were possible. the tourists had won

the toss and batted first. they lost their opener janneman malan to david willey forjust 11 in the sixth over, but they recovered well after that with quinton de kock who was unbeaten on 92. to legspinner adil rashid. jonny bairstow with the catch, after one interruption, they resumed briefly but the rain returned theer was no hope of any more play with south africa 159—2 in the 28th over. the two sides will now play a three t20s before a three match test series the entire cricket scotland board resigned earlier today. that's ahead of tomorrow's publication of an independent review about racism in the sport. it is expected to outline findings of institutional racism in the scottish game. if people come forward to our campaign to disclose into our review, we expect that report to

conclude there is racism throughout the game in scottish cricket. that the game in scottish cricket. that the will the game in scottish cricket. that they will be _ the game in scottish cricket. twat they will be significant changes required in order to address and eradicate that and we think the report will be a very difficult read. clearly, we have not seen it ourselves but we have been involved in a number of meetings with the people that disclosed their own stories into that review and i think it's going to be really difficult. as is traditional, the final stage of the tour de france is a ceremonial procession into paris for the man in the yellow jersey. after three weeks of racing over 2000 miles they are due across the finish line shortly on the champs elysees. the 25—year—old danejonas vingegaard had opened up a 3.5 minute lead after yesterdays timetrial and he deserved his champagne reception in the french capital. gerraint thomas, the 2018 champion will finish third. he has been on a bike in france this month almost 80 hours. now he could stop to drink it in. three weeks ago it started remarkably in his home country. perhaps the danish sendoff stayed with him through the

pyrenees. now from stand the they had reached the heart of paris. his jumbo team have been the standouts. the tour�*s final stage we've surpassed the icons on the cobbles. dane jonas vinegaard's surpassed the icons on the cobbles. danejonas vinegaard's massive lead would be unchallenged. but for some, it really matters. as the sprinters went for their win, they reached for the line. the danejonas vinegaard and his team, it was a less intensive ride, he isjust the second man from denmark to win a grand tourand at second man from denmark to win a grand tour and at 25, he has risen quickly. not long ago he worked on a fish stand and last year was runner—up. but now all those hours on the road well worth it. this year's winner of the sport's greatest ride is from back where it started. joe lenski, bbc news.

two days to go before england face sweden in the women's he has been on a bike in france this month almost 80 hours. now he could stop to drink it in. as the men's race finished in paris, the inaugral women's tour de france was just starting lorena wiebes winning the first stage. that also finished on the champs elysee. the dutch rider timed her sprint to perfection to beat her compatriot — the double olympic champion marianne vos into second. there was last a women tour in france in 1989, but this has been officially sanctioned and organised by those in charge of the mens race. there are seven more stages to go. two days to go before england face sweden in the women's european championship. they'll face each other at sheffield united's bramhall lane on tuesday night. germany will take on france on wednesday. matt graveling has been at the england team hotel in south west london. as we enter the business end of this competition, the lionesses are still very much in the hunt after a hard—fought extra time win against

spain on wednesday. theyjoin the last four, with sweden, germany and france but in the last three major tournaments, it is at this stage where england left the competition. how are they feeling about tuesday's game? earlier we heard from the striker, fran kirby. they seem like a blur, those kind of games you've lost in those situations, you don't try to think about them. it is focusing on the game coming up. we are focusing on the semifinals first. we haven't got ahead of ourselves, we still have a really tough game with sweden, they are the highest ranked team left in the tournament. the lionesses can afford to be confident with a record—breaking group stage in which they scored 14 goals and a great win over a hard spanish side. but coach, sarina wiegman is back on the sideline and the dutch manager, winning this competition the last time it was held in 2017 with holland.

she has been there and done it, she has won majorfinals, so the best person to get us through that and to do that is her. she will come with a lot of experience and advice and she already has done leading into the tournament. i think for her it is a case of doing what is normal, because she has been to a few. i'm sure we will lean on her a little bit to get through it. tomorrow morning, the squad will train here before leaving to go to bramall lane. the canadian brooke henderson has won the fourth women's golf major of the year, the evian championship in france. it was a gripping final round on the banks of lake geneva, at one stage there was a seven way tie for the lead. imran sidat reports. one of the most picturesque courses in the world and a final day to match the surrounding. the chasing pack were looking to make their move and catch the overnight leader, brooke henderson. charley hull led the charge and back

birdies put her in contention before she fell just short. nelly korda started the day six shots off the pace before the stunning eagle saw her take a share of the lead. but in the french sunshine, henderson wasjust about staying cool. a birdie on the seventh saw her back in front after a shaky start. hot on her heels was the american maria schubert. she took the lead in this unpredictable final round. with the north americans back level on the 18th, schubert had this to putt to pull clear once again. that miss left henderson with this to win the tournament. there it is and brooke henderson... her first major since 2016 and the second of her career, with this one, perhaps the sweetest yet.

and it's the final day of the world athletics championships over in oregon. the men's decathlon is under way at the moment — they are just competing in the discus. 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 the 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 wrongly or they're living on the top floor in a very unsuitable apartment for very high temperatures.

so, really thinking about going forward into the future,
