hannah cockroft completes an all british podium at the world para—athletics championships in paris hello and thanks for joining us on sportsday. only one place to start and that's at wimbledon where marketa vondrousova has become the first unseeded player to reach the women's singles final at the all england club in the open era after beating ukraine's elina svitolina. and joining vondroussova in the final will be ons jabeur who came from behind to see of aryna sabalenka. chetan pathak rounds up the action and so the line—up for this year's women's wimbledon final is complete after two breathless matches on thursday. last year's championships ended

in heartbreak for ons jabeur. she's talked about being on a revenge mission this year and now finds herself back in the final after beating the second seed, the australian open champion aryna sabalenka. it was the player from belarus who took charge of the match and was a set up and a point away from a 5—3 lead in the second whenjabeur showed all her fighting spirit which has been in abundance at these championships. sabalenka had no reply, losing in three sets and leaves, thinking about what could have been whilst jabeur is a win away from putting right what she got wrong 12 months ago. as she looks to make history for the north african and arab world. awaiting jabeur in the final will be 24—year—old marketa vondrousova from the czech republic, who, like her unseeded opponent elina svitolina, has had a fairytale run at these championships for svitolina, who only came back from maternity leave in april. her wimbledon is now over. she's arguably been the story of the championships in the women's draw, playing for the people of ukraine and her friends

and family back home, having knocked out the top seed iga swiatek en route to the last four. perhaps everything caught up with her here as vondrousova, who never made it past the second round, is now the first unseeded finalist in the women's draw at wimbledon since billiejean king in 1963. thanks to her straight sets, victory 6—3, 6—3. and so friday sees the men's semi—finals as novak djokovic, the defending champion, takes onjannik sinner, a man he beat in five sets at last year's quarterfinal stage, and in the other semifinal will see the top seed carlos alcaraz play the former world number one, daniil medvedev. so the day belonging to marketa vondrousova what an injury comeback for her, however there always has to be a loser and wimbledon bid farewell to a tearful elina svitolina who thanked ukrainians for providing "massive support" in her inspired run at the all england club. for sure, massive support. i got a lot of messages

from different people and it's unbelievable that they're with me all the way, and hopefully it continues. you can see and hear the emotion in svitolina's voice and its perhaps easier to understand the emotions when you realise the support she had back in ukraine in such hard times for ukraine it's pretty remarkable that she made the entire nation united and everyone wanted to see her and everyone wanted to see her and was part of her and everyone thinks she is the real fighter that is represented ukraine worldwide right now. our next story contains details which some viewers may find distressing. the everton midfielder dele alli says he was sexually abused as a child. in an emotional interview with former england footballer gary neville, he said he was "molested" at the age of six and he's recently

spent some time in rehab because of a sleeping pill addiction as well as mental health issues. he admitted that he considered walking away from football completely at the end of his time at tottenham. how recent was this that you went into rehab? so i got out three weeks ago, i think about three weeks ago, yeah. and if i'm being honest, i probably wouldn't have wanted to talk about it this soon. i think maybe give it a little bit more time, but i am feeling in a really good place and i feel strong enough to do this. i think it's important. maybe i could have done with a little bit more time in terms of when i was talking about it. but unfortunately, the way the world is now, you know, the tabloids

that they got, they found out and they was cooling my team a lot and they were telling, you know, that they knew where i was and stuff. and the decision that i maybe made in the past. i didn't really care about what people thought and i didn't care about being understood. i would have just let them write what they wanted to write and, you know, put their own story on which they do a lot at the time. but that's not the reality. and i think for me it was important. but also, you know, i want to help other people to know that they're not alone in the feelings they've got and that you can talk to people. it doesn't make you weak to get help. with a week to go until the women's football world cup in australia and new zealand, a review by former lioness midfielder karen carney, into the domestic game in the uk, is recommending the top two divisions in england, become fully professional. as hugh ferris reports, the hope is for the women's game to become a "billion pound industry" in ten years�* time.

karen carney played 144 times for england and watches almost as many games a season now as a pundit. she been needing a major review of women's football commissioned by government last year. players that are on £5,000 a year working three so that means there undernourished, dehydrated, fatigued. the quality is not there and they're not being treated fairly. there is evidence that at the elite game they are treated as second—class citizens it revolves around the men's game. it has to change. we have to see them as elite athletes and treat them with respect. in the months after euro 2022 , there was a near 200% rise of women's girls in football bookings, but keeping them interested in is difficult because nearly half stopping beyond primary school age.

the report suggests it's not just provide and the motivation that matters but also money. funding for grassroots, investment to improve expenses and facilities for players from the game. other key recommendations include. the report says that it's to ensure that players, elite training facilities and it would also help loves to sing financially independent men's and women's teams. at the end of the season, reading were relegated from the wsl and went part—time but also because the men's team went down and money was too tight. again going back to investment. asking about minimum standards and maternity rights to be

included and is that such too much to ask? seat as an investment. like we invested in the lionesses, they brought home a trophy. karen carney leads most of our recommendations at the foot of two institutions. women's football is a time my son and everyone involved in a game should take it the next level. the government will officially respond to the port by awesome by which point the legacy could include another major trophy. a first ever world cup. hugh ferris, bbc news great britain have won gold, silver and bronze in the t31i100m at the world para—athletics championships in paris on thursday. rachel latham was there for us.

what all nations want from a world championships is dominance and it doesn't get more dominance than a one to three podium finish. and that is what great britain produced tonight in the women's t34100 metres bronze went to fabian andre. it was herfirst world championship medalfor great britain. kara dinnigan took the silver medal to add to her silver medal from the paralympics in 2021, and gold medal went to master of the craft, hannah cockroft. it was her 12th world championship title. here's what she had to say after her race. people expect myself and carissa to come one, two in whatever order, and that's fine. but to turn around and to see fabs, who was a little down this morning when she came fourth in the heat to see her cross that line in third. that's that's what it's all about, you know, the excitement on her face. it's just amazing. we did it in birmingham last year for the commonwealth games to come here. it's a bigger stage. we've got more girls to race against. it's not a given. it's not given for myself or carey. we never know what those girls are going to pull out. and yeah, we need to watch our backs now. fabian�*s on her way. aand sticking with the wheelchair racers. switzerland's catherine de brunet won her third gold medal on thursday

in the t541500 metres, and she goes again on friday for the 100 metres. you can get all the latest sports news at from the bbc from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye. hello there. there's still no end in sight to the unsettled run of weather that we're in the middle of at the moment. we had a day of sunshine and showers on thursday, but we've got something wetter and windier moving in for friday. it's this area of cloud, an area of low pressure that will continue to develop, continue to strengthen, through friday and saturday, and will ultimately bring some strong winds across many areas with gales for some. those winds strong enough to bring some localised disruption. now, the rain from that system has already started to arrive across the southwest of the uk. it's been a bit of damp weather as well for northern ireland and western scotland, so you might see a little bit of light rain here for the next few hours. mild start to the day friday, 111—15 degrees celsius,

but it will be blustery as well with some of the strongest winds through the day across wales and south west england, where gusts into the 50s of miles an hour could be strong enough to bring down some tree branches, maybe one or two weak trees. and certainly there'll be large battering, dangerous, waves hitting the coastline. through the rest of the day, that area of rain extends across the whole of wales, the whole of england, reaching southern scotland and right across northern ireland where the rain looks particularly heavy through the course of the afternoon. northern scotland, a lot of cloud, a cool wind here, but at least the weather for a time will be a little bit drier, at least. temperatures across the board below average forjuly. now, on into the weekend, the same area of low pressure, smack bang over the top of the uk. this time, though, the strongest winds will be working a little bit further eastwards. so we'll see those potentially disruptive gusts of wind reaching parts of eastern england as well. again, the winds strong enough to bring down a few tree branches. rather than the persistent outbreaks of rain that we have on friday, saturday, it's a slightly less grim day. not greatest of weather, really. it's a day of sunshine

and showers. the showers really widespread, some of them heavy and thundery. i suppose one of the benefits of those strong winds is any individual shower won't stay overhead very long before it gets blown across the sky. but i think it is day where many areas will see several showers during the day. on sunday's forecast. again, it's another showery one, perhaps some longer spells of rain across northern scotland. still blustery, but those winds are starting to calm down a little bit. temperatures still below average for the time of year. any better next week weather—wise? well, not really. it stays unsettled. and that means we are going to see further showers. of course, it won't be raining all the time. there will be some warm spells of sunshine between the showers, but it'll still be quite wet for the time of year.
