consider stepping down — and would do so — if his health meant that he could not serve in the way he should. now on bbc news it's time for sportsday. hello and welcome to sportsday live from the commonwealth games in the heart of birmingham city centre this saturday night, coming up on the programme: heartbreak for england's six time paralympic champion david weir who suffers a puncture whilst out in front, as he's overtaken by his team—matejohn boy smith who wins the mens wheelchair marathon. more medals for scotland at the lee valley velopark — neah evans takes bronze in women's

3,000 metres individual pursuit. i'm paul scott at the bbc sport centre in salford, with the rest of the day's sports news. less than 2a hours to go now, until the england lionesses take on germany in the euro �*22 final. we'll be live to wembley. and for the first time in his career, george russell will start a formula 1 race from pole. details on qualifying for the hungarian grand prix coming up. hello and welcome to birmingham. we're here at victoria square which is right in the heart of the city. there's a big screen and bands and dj'sjust below us here — where big crowds have been gathering to watch the action at these

commonwealth games. and that includes the marathon races which all took place today — and came to a finish just behind me you can see the arch of the finish line. and there was plenty of drama, especially for england's david weir as dan 0gunshakin now reports: it soon became obvious as competitors to medway that david weir was the man to beat. his lead continue to grow. we just welcomed us to grow, that advantage over smith had double. with gold seemingly in his grasp, disaster struck, a puncture and no spare wheel. ~ ., ,, . , , wheel. with no spec, this is him done. wheel. with no spec, this is him done- he _ wheel. with no spec, this is him done- he had — wheel. with no spec, this is him done. he had that _ wheel. with no spec, this is him

could live with him when he made his move. just as well for the 22—year—old, he had improved. he had gone the wrong way but it didn't matter because he took gold by 94 seconds. no wrong turns in the women's marathon. the australian surged ahead by a couple of miles to finish clear ahead of the runners—up. so a comfortable gold for australia'sjessica stenson. after bronze in glasgow and on the gold coast she finally has commonwealth gold. she joined me a short while ago to tell me how she's feeling: it's been a uniquejourney it's been a unique journey at these games with the race cancellations due to covid and coming back from having my boy, billy, i had a really

great team out there. and we really went into the race as a team and you could feel that positivity out there and i think that really helped me to make the most out of myself and it will take a little while to sink in. so many impressive marathon performances today — but there was heartbreak as you saw there for david weir. a puncture that cost him the race. needless to stay he was incredibly disappointed afterwards — but he was also keen to flag up what he felt are bigger issues within the sport. here he is speaking to jj chalmers. ijust i just feel i don't ijust feel i don't have enough luck lately in major championships. i do the marathon so i can come in the top three, against the top in the world and the last ten weeks of training, since i went to switzerland, probably being the best in years. switzerland, probably being the best

our correspondent laura scott is there for us more scottish medal success ? yes, four gold medal events today on dei two here and three of them have gone on to new zealand. they are having a phenomenal afternoon. i mightjust bring you up to speed with the result of the men's because that was won by nicholas paul by trinidad and tobago. a scottish branch of the silver. let's hear from scotland's cyclist now. the crowd was _ from scotland's cyclist now. the crowd was unreal, _ from scotland's cyclist now. the crowd was unreal, we change the tactics _ crowd was unreal, we change the tactics because normally... i'm not going _ tactics because normally... i'm not going to _ tactics because normally... i'm not going to be — tactics because normally... i'm not going to be able to hear you, you will have — going to be able to hear you, you will have to — going to be able to hear you, you will have to walk the line. and that shows _ will have to walk the line. and that shows you — will have to walk the line. and that shows you how loud it all is. i will be honest. — shows you how loud it all is. i will be honest. i— shows you how loud it all is. i will be honest, i left... after about half— be honest, i left... after about half way, — be honest, i left... after about half way, i— be honest, i left... after about half way, ijust said get you down and keep— half way, ijust said get you down and keep going. very simple tactics.

the track. the australian cyclist is thought to be ok. he was a contender for the gold medal. but a lot of concern forjoe truman because initially he wasn't moving on the tracks, there was a huge round of applause when he was seen sitting up with an oxygen mask on. he was then wheeled off in a wheelchair and he was waving to the crowd. we were told that he has a suspected broken collarbone. he has owned hospital, but he is said to be doing 0k. collarbone. he has owned hospital, but he is said to be doing ok. but i got a lot of concern them. i need to bring you up to speed on the women's sprint because in those medals have just been decided. it was a bronze medalfor the welsh just been decided. it was a bronze medal for the welsh cyclist. that is good news for wales and of course our thoughts are withjoe truman. there has been controversy as our thoughts are with joe truman. there has been controversy- our thoughts are with joe truman. there has been controversy as we see the end of the — there has been controversy as we see the end of the action, _ there has been controversy as we see the end of the action, you _ there has been controversy as we see the end of the action, you were - the end of the action, you were talking about controversy, the first couple of days, that involving england, this and other bronze medal

but in bronze medal than ever was? absolutely. this was yesterday. in the women's and tandem sprint. what happened was, they finished in third place, in a race that was build on the screened here and in the results as a race for the bronze medal. but, under the rules, there weren't enough teams competing for all the medals to be handed out. so they were not given a bronze medal. they were not given a bronze medal. they were not given a bronze medal. they were not included in the medal ceremony, they staged a bit of a mini protest afterwards, borrowing some of bronze medals from the team, they have been fined 200 swiss francs each for that along with a team manager. but this has all gone up team manager. but this has all gone up to the commonwealth games federation. they have issued an apology for the inadvertent distress caused, although it does seem unlikely, very unlikely at this stage that they will be awarded bronze medals. but clearly, some upsetting and confusion around this matter. at

upsetting and confusion around this matter. �* ., ., ., ., matter. a tough one for them to take. thank you. right, let's round up some of the other action that's been happening today. it's a big day in the pool with the likes of adam peaty, tom dean and duncan scott all in the hunt for medals. peaty broke his foot in the build up to these games, but you wouldn't know it as he won his heat of the 100 metres breast stroke, making it through to the semi finals. he was the ony swimmer to finish in under one minute. just a ten week answer from that fractured foot. but he was happy with that performance. later tonight england's olympic champion tom dean and scotland's duncan scott, who took silver in tokyo will go head to head again in the final of the men's 200 metres freestyle after they clocked the two fastest times this morning. 10 finals in swimming from 7 o'clock tonight, you can follow

it all on the iplayer. england's netballers are continuing the defence of their commonwealth title. they thrashed trindad and tobago in their opening match and there was another comfortable win today as they beat malawi 66—41. they next play northern ireland on monday, who lost their opener heavily to new zealand last night. scotland were also soundly beaten today by australia. in the t20 cricket, the opening match of the day saw new zealand take on south africa. a great knock of 91 not out from suzie bates helped new zealand to a total of 167—2 in their 20 overs. south africa fought hard but fell 13 runs short of their target. let's stay with the t20 and see how england are getting on against sri lanka. these are live pictures from just down the road in edgbaston.

england are without their captain heather knight for this match due to an injury. she has a hip problem. but they'll be expecting to beat sri lanka who are the lowest ranked team in the competition. latest score there is 56—3. teenagers alice capsey and freya kemp do both start. at two decades older, katherine brunt has a bit more experience to bank. nat sciver captain. none of the home nations have made it through to the knockout stages of the rugby sevens, in either the men's or women's tournaments scotland women lost to south africa 33—12 this morning to end their hopes of qualifying, while england also lost to new zealand. defeats for england, wales and scotland in the men's competition also saw them fail to progess. in hockey gareth furlong scored four

times as wales thrashed canada 5—1 in their opening game at the commonwealth games.furlong who's a defender, scored a first—quarter hat—trick before his fourth from a penalty corner in the closing stages. england women also beat ghana today. and beach volleyball has made a return to the commonwealth games here in birmingham. the bello twins javier and joaquin are representing england. just 22, they've set a host of "firsts" by british players in the sport including winning the commonwealth youth games gold in 2017 and an historic world tour gold in portugal last year. they beat tuvalu earlier 2 nothing in their opener. ten swimming finals to come, the cricket continues, day two of these commonwealth games are not done. come back to me at the end but away from here there is so much else happening, in particular in football, let's take you back to the bbc sport

centre and paul scott. thanks chetan, we'll hopefully return to birmingham at the end of the show. away from the commonwealth games and premier league champions manchester city are taking on fa cup winners liverpool in the community shield. ican i can tell you, it is to liverpool. they have just scored a penalty. it put liverpool ahead. with eight minutes to go. elsewhere... rangers came from behind in their scottish premiership opener to win 2—1 at livingston. joel nouble got the home side off to the best possible start, scoring with an excellent lob in the fifth minute. but two second half—goals in two minutes turned it round for rangers — first scott arfield headed in

before captainjames tavernier scored directly from this free kick. elsewhere there were opening day wins for the 2 edinburgh sides. hibs won i—0 at stjohnstone. while alan forrest and barrie mckay were on target as hearts beat ross county 2—1. kilmarnock and dundee united drew i—i. south of the border and the new efl season is also under way, burnley winning i—0 in the championship at huddersfield last night. another side relegated from the premier league last season are norwich. they began with a i—0 defeat at cardiff earlier today. while rotherham who were promoted from league one, started their championship campaign with a 1—1 draw at home to swansea. there were wins for blackburn, blackpool, hull and millwall. all the details and results from all the efl fixtures of course on the bbc sport website. elsewhere this weekend, england women are on the brink of history. they can win their first major tournament when they take on germany in the final of the european championship. the game kicks off at 5pm

tomorrow evening and our reporter matt graveling is already at wembley. matt you're there nice and early. how are things looking? got to get here early, because tomorrow evening there will be 87,200 people in this stadium bind me. it's a packed out, sold wembley. it will also be an attendance record for any european champion again. that is the men of the women. in about 24 hours' time we will be approaching full time so we don't want it to be a draw because we don't want penalties, definitely not against germany, especially as the germans are a team that i won this competition ate out of the last ten times. 0ne competition ate out of the last ten times. one of those finals enhancing key in 2009 was against the line ss. with germany winning 6—2. england has never won this tournament of com edition but they do have a lady in charge who has. sarina wiegman. she won it with the dutch were in 2017, a little bit earlier, she told us her reaction. taste a little bit earlier, she told us her reaction.—

beat west germany. can't wait, thank you very much. thirteen is unlucky for some, but not, it would appear, for george russell. in his thirteenth formula one grand prix weekend with mercedes, the 24—year—old british driver has claimed the first pole position of his career. he'll line up ahead of the ferraris of carlos sainz and charles leclerc for tomorrow's hungarian grand prix after what was a remarkable qualifying. nick parrott reports. dark clouds have hung over mercedes for much of the season. their domination crumbles as they struggle to get to grips with the radical changes to cars. lewis hamilton's eight previous polls and victories to angry were unable to help them do better in qualifying that are seventh on the grid. another driver is clear the drivers championship

but his red bull was stuttering as he lived to tenth place. his hopes were vanishing, others were improving. george russell could only manage eighth in friday's practice. his best qualifying for mercedes this season was full. but on his final lap around the ring, things finally clicked.— finally clicked. george russell takes pole! — finally clicked. george russell takes pole! absently - finally clicked. george russell takes pole! absently buzzing, | takes pole! absently buzzing, everybody — takes pole! absently buzzing, everybody last _ takes pole! absently buzzing, everybody last night - takes pole! absently buzzing, everybody last night was - takes pole! absently buzzing, . everybody last night was working takes pole! absently buzzing, - everybody last night was working so hard, we didn't really know what direction to go in. and then at last lap, gotaround direction to go in. and then at last lap, got around to turn one, ran turn to... and the lap time just kept on coming, kept on coming and i came across the line for a look at the screen and looked and it was an incredible feeling.— incredible feeling. there are the last sector. _ incredible feeling. there are the last sector, yes, _ incredible feeling. there are the last sector, yes, congratulation | incredible feeling. there are the i last sector, yes, congratulation to george _ last sector, yes, congratulation to george because he must've done a pretty— george because he must've done a pretty good lab there in... and we will be _ pretty good lab there in... and we will be watching tomorrow. with pretty good lab there in... and we will be watching tomorrow. with the ferraris, george _

men's wheelchair marathon. middle saddam nations, let me remind you, scotland winning silver and welsh cyclists getting bronze full stop england is favourites in gymnastics. and we have attends finals in the swimming band. whata and we have attends finals in the swimming band. what a response from another swimmer in his breaststroke final. despite fracturing his foot to ten weeks ago. let me show you the medals table. this is how things are looking on day two. early days. australia, enjoying these games,... 0ne australia, enjoying these games,... one of their athletes was here earlier, talking to us. we were hearing about how new zealand were incredible on the track. second on the table, england in the third with those three golds and then, malaysia, two goals for them in at

the weightlifting today. a historic day for malaysia and scotland, i was saying how much they were enjoying themselves of these games, they are fifth in the medals table at the moment. there is so much of on the bbc sport website and on the bbc iplayer. if you want to follow everything there. but for now, for all of us, at victoria square in birmingham come with all of that swimming to look forward to, that is all from us now. thanks for watching. good night. hello there. despite quite a warm, humid feel for many today, blue sky and sunshine were quite precious, and those that we did get gradually clouded over through the afternoon, just as with worthing in west sussex — the reason being quite a lot of cloud generally across the country, and some of that has been producing some rain today. now, if we take a zoom out towards the atlantic, you can see there's another pulse of cloud starting to push in, and that will bring yet more rain through the night tonight, some of it heavy as it moves

across west—facing coasts of wales and into north—west england, but it will weaken a touch as it pushes its way steadily eastwards. still a level of uncertainty as to whether we could see some rain to the southeast corner, where we are starting to get pretty desperate now. here, it stays quite muggy through the night, fresher with clearer skies in scotland. here, we'll start off with early morning sunshine. 0ne pulse of wet weather will slowly start to ease away. fair amount of cloud generally across england and wales and still the risk of a few scattered showers into the afternoon. perhaps not feeling quite as muggy once that rain has cleared through and the frontal system's allowing some fresher air behind, but still those temperatures on the warm side — 26 degrees in the southeast. noticeably fresher further north, a maximum of 19 or 20. now, that does bode well for the triathlon. maybe a little bit of light, patchy rain around first thing. that might suit some of the athletes, but as the day goes on, it'll dry, brighten and warm up as well. and it's a similar story, actually, for the final of the euros at wembley stadium.

if we see that much in the way of significant rain, it really will be quite a miracle. i think it'll ease away and skies brighten. now, as we move into monday, we start with a good deal of fine, dry weather, but it's not expected to last as this weather front will gradually start to encroach from the west. it will bring a freshening wind, it will bring more cloud and, eventually, it will bring some rain, but it's going to take its time in doing so, probably arriving into northern ireland and western fringes by the end of the afternoon. so the best of the sunshine to the east of the pennines and that's for the best of the warmth to likely to be once again. 25 or 26 celsius the high. and then that opens the doors for something a little breezier and cooler into the far northwest to start the week. it stays dry, settled, sunny and still pretty warm down to the south throughout much of the week ahead.

this is bbc news. i'm lewis vaughan jones. the headlines at 7pm: police investigating the death of 9—year—old lillia valutyte have arrested a 22 year old man on suspicion of murder. the arrest follows a combination of intelligence and information supplied by several members of the public. widespread disruption to train services throughout the uk as drivers from 7 operators walk out over pay. england's women train ahead of the biggest football match of their careers — preparing to take on germany in tomorrow night's euros final. tomorrow is not the end of a journey but the start of one.

and i think regardless of the end result of that game there will be a nice moment for reflection.
