guardian, england's lionesses celebrate their victories. many carry photos of the team's parties. another picture of pure joy on the metro as the team are dancing queen, partying and central lending —— london. describing her as the hope candidate. the daily mail says liz truss will end the junk food tax. all of course if she becomes conservative leader and prime minister. there is disappointment for british airways passengers as the times reports the airline has suspended the sale from short—haul flights for at least a week from heathrow to cope with the capp of flights out of the airport. let us begin and we will tackle that in a

moment, but let's first have a look at the lionesses�* victory with that team photo you'll see in a second. there it is. taken in trafalgar square, showing all of the squad and no doubt those with magnifying glasses might see themselves. is this the start of a lasting position for women's football as a major sport in the uk or might there be a worry that women's football goes like swimming, attention for a few weeks and then vanishes? h0. like swimming, attention for a few weeks and then vanishes?- like swimming, attention for a few weeks and then vanishes? no, i feel it could be actually _ weeks and then vanishes? no, i feel it could be actually a _ weeks and then vanishes? no, i feel it could be actually a turning - it could be actually a turning point. and a well—earned one. you think back to the 50 year period to the 1970s where the fa band women from actually playing football, and look at where we are now. a lot of people are going on about serena

week nine —— sarina wiegman, the manager, whose record is exemplary. very disciplined, focused, ruthless precision in explication. also potion on —— focus on the n—terminal game. —— incremental changes needed to be made to achieve excellence. the england team had a sneaked coach with them. i think all of these things help to get the results. i think the other thing is the complete passion and determination that they showed right throughout the tournament is something i think others can learn from, particularly the men's team that's going to be up in qatar later this year. i think in an era where people want to be famous for being famous, i think this really goes against the grain and shows the tenacity and

determination to achieve success, which is where fame is rightly deserved a. which is where fame is rightly deserved a-— which is where fame is rightly deserved a. ., . , , deserved a. two incredibly good coals. deserved a. two incredibly good goais- i've _ deserved a. two incredibly good goals. i've never— deserved a. two incredibly good goals. i've never seen _ deserved a. two incredibly good goals. i've never seen anythingl deserved a. two incredibly good i goals. i've never seen anything like it. let's look on the times newspaper, which brings a little bit of politics into it on next to a picture of the team. many of them are in hangover protecting sunglasses, butjohnson and holiday snub to lionesses, criticising downing street's decision to not hold the reception for england's lionesses. why is that reception knocking on the cards? it’s lionesses. why is that reception knocking on the cards? it's because he's auoin knocking on the cards? it's because he's going on _ knocking on the cards? it's because he's going on holiday, _ knocking on the cards? it's because he's going on holiday, james. - he's going on holiday, james. there's— he's going on holiday, james. there's no_ he's going on holiday, james. there's no opportunity. he already had to— there's no opportunity. he already had to move his wedding party for goodness' — had to move his wedding party for goodness' sake. he can't be expected to start _ goodness' sake. he can't be expected to start rearranging his holiday, especially about airfares going up.

fact that nowadays, to get in honour of some kind, you have to suck up to the pm or give money to political parties, it would make a change if we had a lot of these people who have actually achieved sporting prowess recognised. i'm sure will follow. they fear —— i think there should be a number of things, but i think this is also great for the legacy of the game now as the younger girls and women come through into football and sport more generally. i think it's a moment, and i hope it continues to build from here and it shows that winning does matter, it's notjust the taking part. it is actually the winning. you can see that on the faces of the german losing side yesterday. thankfully, we've got the killer instinct for once. i did yesterday. thankfully, we've got the killer instinct for once.— killer instinct for once. i did ask what the players _ killer instinct for once. i did ask what the players might - killer instinct for once. i did ask what the players might be - killer instinct for once. i did ask - what the players might be wanting to do in the next few months. one thing they may not be able to do is buy a

rail unions, but also the nhs. so liz truss can come out with these statements and i understand exactly why she's doing it. if and when she does become prime minister, it will not be long before she has got the union bringing down her let —— breathing down her neck. they've already said this is no way for a ceo to engage with their future employees. you can see the clouds amassing on the horizon, and when there's nowhere to hide as prime minister, as borisjohnson found to his peril, we'll see how this pans out. �* , his peril, we'll see how this pans out. �*, ., ., , out. let's look at the telegraph aaain. out. let's look at the telegraph again- we're — out. let's look at the telegraph again. we're going _ out. let's look at the telegraph again. we're going to _ out. let's look at the telegraph again. we're going to look - out. let's look at the telegraph again. we're going to look at i out. let's look at the telegraph again. we're going to look at a l again. we're going to look at a different story. dangerous prisoners, according to the home affairs editor, blocked from automatic release.-

they're very, very good football players. they're very, very good people. the willingness, commitment, resilience and support has been so incredible and most of all, the willingness to want to win so badly. we've been a little lucky, but i think we have done things well altogether, and that made a difference. # sweet caroline. we just keep going. i everyone's just absolutely buzzingl and we had a good night last night. l so special to share this moment. was such an amazing bunch of girls. i'm proud to wear this badge, - but i'm even more proud to share the pitch with such an unbelievable group of players _ this is amazing. we're having the best few days ever.

just brilliant. well worth the early start. perfect. it's what the country needed, and girls have done _ it, showing them men what to do! this is the first time i've really engaged in the euros. to this extent. i play as well, so now i'm going to follow them all the way. the legacy of the tournament was already made before the final game. yeah, what we've done for women and young girls that can look up and aspire to be us... cheering. i think england have hosted an incredible tournament and change the game this country, and hopefully across the world. but we said we wanted to make our legacy about winning, and that's what we did. cheering.

we sure did. at the commonwealth games, laura kenny put in an incredible performance in the track cycling to put her confidence problems behind her and win her second commonwealth games title. a huge finish by the 30—year—old secured the win in the scratch race in the velodrome in london. amid what she called a confidence crisis. it comes months after she suffered a miscarriage, when she said she considered quitting the sport. looking to push to make a fourth olympic. i've been there three olympic cycles now. to keep picking yourselves up after this whole year, has just honestly been a nightmare. i have just absolutely lost motivation. last night, i was messing my new coach, and i was like, no, i'm not giving up on this! —— messaging. i've got one more roll of the dice, please! and it couldn't have been better set—up if it tried. good day in the pool for team england with a rasp of gold medals being won.

kate grey rounds up the best. there's been plenty to celebrate here at the aquatic centre once again, particularly for team england. thanks to maisie summers newton. she beat the rest of the field by 11 seconds with her team—mate grace harvey coming and silver. that goal for maisie means she's won every title in the 100 metres. she had her family are watching. it was a real crowd pleaser. the success continued for the home nation as tom dean took silver in the men's 100 metres freestyle. he was beaten by carl charmers from australia and duncan scott added to his collection, taking a bronze in that very event. a very competitive race, but australia continued to dominate, and that was no different in the relay. a real crowd pleaser.

tom dean howard home to take silver for england and duncan scott sneaked into the bronze for scotland, just beating wales in the final section. a real exciting race for the home nations and a great way to finish the setting here. just a mention of canadian youngster 15—year—old summer mcintosh, who won her second gold of the championships individual medal. she already won in the 400 metre and she's a real star of the future. definitely one to watch. brings this evening to a close another great event here. england's golden games in the gymnastics continues to be a highlight of the commonwealths here in birmingham, not least because local boy joe fraser has picked up his second. fraser's routine brought a score of 14.833, which nobody could match — not even defending champion rhys mcclenaghan from northern ireland, fraser has been recovering from a foot injury that has prevented him from doing some of the disciplines, but what a performance from him here.

he was peerless. team europe have confirmed that luke donald will be the new ryder cup captain. the 44—year—old former world number one replaces henrik stenson, who was stripped of the job after he signed a £40 million deal with the breakaway series liv golf. donald is the first englishman to lead europe since sir nick faldo's heavy defeat in 2008. and that's all the sport for now. from me, marc edwards, and the rest of the team, bye—bye. hello, then. of course, july 2022 will be remembered for the first time the uk saw temperatures widely in excess of 40 celsius. however, it's also been a very dry month — and in southern england, it's been the driestjuly on record — those records date back to 1836 by the met office. now anywhere in the brown has seen

below—average rainfall, but the darker brown's way below the average rainfall totals for this time of year, and 1—2 stations along the south coast have not seen any measurable rain. now, if you can see over the next few days, we won't see any rainfall either across the far south and east. the heaviest of the rain will be out to the north and west — that's because you're closest to an area of low pressure that's moving in at the moment. the isobars squeezing together, it'll turn pretty windy, and it will be quite wet, as well. so that means it could be a pretty damp start for the commonwealth games in birmingham, but quickly brightening up by lunchtime, so an improving story. and that will be the story generally across the country. some heavy bursts of rain across northwest england and wales drifting their way steadily eastwards. the rain never getting as far south, really, as the south midlands, and then behind it, brightening up with 1—2 showers. a strong south—westerly wind as we go through the day — so blustery, but from a very warm source. it'll feel once again quite humid across the country —

24 celsius in eastern scotland, highs of 30 celsius perhaps in southeast england — that's the mid—80s fahrenheit. now, as we go through the evening and overnight, there's another frontal system that will sink its way south, just really a band of cloud and a few scattered showers, can you see, stretching from hull down to the bristol channel. again, it stays very warm, so a humid start to wednesday morning. that frontal system — a weak affair, a band of cloud, a few isolated showers — continues to sink south. but behind, it's introducing fresher air as the winds here come round to a northwesterly. so more showers being driven in by that northwesterly wind, and temperatures down a few degrees. not so in the far southeast, as that fresher air hasn't quite yet arrived, but it will do so. the northwesterly wind direction continues to dominate for a few days. high pressure then builds in from the west, quietens things down. so, over the next few days, it's dry, settled, and sunny, but just that little bit fresher.
