we're going to start with cricket because england have named their squad for the must—win fourth ashes test against australia, which begins on wednesday at old trafford. jimmy anderson returns to the line—up in place of ollie robinson. the ao—year—old is recalled after being rested for england's win in the third test — a victory which keeps the series alive — with the tourists leading 2—1. moeen ali will bat at number three after being promoted up the orderfor the second innings of the dramatic win at headingley. i don't think we're far off and i think australia know that. everyone knows that. they are number one in the world and i think we're doing really well taking them all the way. all of the games have been fantastic, but the belief in the changing room is that we can win the series 3—2. there's no doubt about that. the final golf major of the year begins this week. the open starts on thursday

at royal liverpool in hoylake. reigning champion cameron smith has defected to the liv series since lifting the claretjug at st andrews 12 months ago. despite a proposed merger with the pga tour, he believes there's still a future for the saudi—funded breakaway series. absolutely. i'm optimistic. i think golf is in a great spot and there is a lot of things up in the air that no one really knows at the moment. i don't even think the guys trying to sort it out really not what the outcome will be like, so a lot of uncertainty, know what the outcome will be like, so a lot of uncertainty, but i'm optimistic that liv will be around in the future. well, four—time major winner rory mcilroy heads in to the open high in confidence after hitting back—to—back birdies on the final two holes to win the scottish open. our golf correspondent iain carter says it was perfect preparation for the northern irishman.

i put it up there as his best when outside the majors. win outside the majors. there have been plenty of them in a glorious career. 0k, he's not won a major for any nine years, but imagine if he hadn't won yesterday. another instance of taking a third—round lead into the final round. it was very windy, he needed to birdie the last two holes. he hit one of the best shots of his career to set up the winning birdie on the 18th after a brilliant tee shot into the par 317. it's perfect for him in terms of stoking confidence ahead of the open championship this week, the course where he won the open nine years ago. arsenal boss mikel arteta believes his new big money signing declan rice can be the lighthouse that makes the gunners shine. rice completed his move from west ham in a deal that could rise to £10 million and joined the team's pre—season tour of the usa. he was restricted to bike work in washington ahead of arsenal's friendly

against wayne rooney's mls all—stars on wednesday. i think every signing we have made brings a very special thing to the team. declan is in the league and has done tremendously well for west ham and the england national team and it's a team that's going to bring a lot of qualities, and a lot— of experience in the league. very specific in the position with the qualities that the has and i'm delighted to have him. championship club leeds united are on the brink of new ownership, with �*a9ers enterprises' cleared to take full control of the club. the english football league has approved the sale to the strategic arm of nfl franchise san francisco 49ers. paraag marathe will take over as chairman, replacing andrea radrizzani, who's been majority owner of leeds since 2017. just days before the women's football world cup in australia and new zealand, the australian team are demanding equal prize money

with the men's game. around £81; million will be shared out among women's teams competing at this year's tournament — just a quarter of what the men receive. fifa's president says the "ambition" is for equal prize money by 2027. katie silver reports. in 2015, fifa made us play the world cup on artificial pitches. the grass was fake and the disrespect was real. in 2013, we signed a new deal to make sure we got our laundry done for us. fifa will still only- offer women one quarter as much prize money as men for the same achievement. l members of the home team, the matildas, make their appeal to fifa and football's power brokers just days before the world cup kicks off. all: this is our legacy. the soaring popularity of the women's game in australia has been on full display. two billion people globally are expected to tune in to watch this world cup, yet the prize money forfemale players is far smaller than the men's.

the argument for why we are getting paid so much less is just kind of dwindling, it's not really much of an argument any more. if you look at the ticket sales and the interest and the tv viewing and all of that, there's just not much of an argument there any more. if 2283, it's gone up. it's improve _ for those that follow the game closely, this world cup is being seen as a watershed moment for women's pay. one of the most exciting parts of the 2019 women's world cup was after the final was won by the usa, there were chants of, "equal pay," that rang around the stadium. so, this women's world cup coming up, it's a real, another opportunity to be able to talk about these bigger things and equal pay, it's still something that not

it's what women everywhere are striving for. this world cup there have been stand—offs between multiple teams and their football associations, including the uk, south africa, nigeria and canada, and these fights are over everything from basic equal pay to bonuses. some teams are even threatening to boycott matches if their demands are not met. it's hoped that with this momentum, the next generation's battle will be just on the pitch. katie silver, bbc news, sydney. the president of the international paralympic committee has told bbc sport that international sporting governing bodies should set their own policies on transgender athletes. it comes after italy's valentina petrillo last week became the first openly transgender athlete to win a medal at a global para—athletic event. petrillo has visual impairment and picked up two bronze medals at the world para athletics championships in paris.

andrew parsons says the ipc won't be deciding the overall policy. it's something we always knew. it was not a matter of if, it was a matter of when. so now we have it at the world championship, so i don'r think the pressure will be there, but yes, i think our members would like some guidance because they have to run their national programmes, select their athletes, so they would like to know. from a public opinion perspective, i think will be support and people against as in many new advancements in society. the transgender population is growing so we need to more sure we can get them sport opportunities, but also protect female athletes. when will the decision be made? and will the ioc decision come into it at all? the ioc make decision on the olympic movement and olympic game, we make decisions on the paralympic movement and paralympic games.

again, is a decision that would be taken by the international federations, in this when it comes to transgender. will there not be an overall rule for the prolific games? no. so how would it work with the paralympics? it would not be we've made this decision? no, it would not be an ipc decision. each and every sport has an international federation, so the roots of the sport and the classification, for example, the rule of the sport, they will create that guidance and their roots. it can be different from sport to sport. so, you should be able to expect to meet you could then have transgender athletes competing in the athletics, but not in swimming? the differentiation of transgender, that decision of who will compete in the female event or not is up to each international federation. so, theoretically, the rules can be different but i'm not saying

they would be but theoretically they can be. well, one of the standout performances from the competition was britain's hannah cockroft. she maintained her dominance with a 14th world title in the t34 800m. but her overall highlight was sharing the podium with her british teammates kare adenegan and fabienne andre after winning the t38100m. sometimes you can get a little blase about crossing the line in first or second position, but when we saw fab's face and the excitement, it reminds you what this is all about. then to sit up there with her on her first international podium is so special. it shows how much the class is building and how many new faces are going through. that's what you've been wanting for years, haven't you? you been wanting to competition to build? absolutely, we had fabs in the 100, we had eva in the 800, two new girls, to new podiums. and more to step up so it's exciting times. how happy is the gb team with the success

of the overall games? i think we're really happy. coming into this we had the really, a unique mix of experience like myself and some new faces. it's been amazing to see old guys step back onto the podium but also some new names step up and make a name for themselves. the excitement within the team and, i guess the interest from newer members, to dig into the expereince we have had to make sure they can make that step has been exciting. that is all from the sportsday team, — that is all from the sportsday team, thanks for watching. hello. if you're wondering whether any of the heat that's currently affecting southern europe might head our way, well, the answer is a resounding no, but that is good news, i think, when you look at these temperatures. these temperatures which we recorded in the south of europe on monday, are very dangerous indeed. and this heat shows no

real sign of letting up. now, we are stuck in a very different type of weather. the jet stream diving to the south of us that's keeping us away from this hot air, instead keeping us in something cooler, and with low pressure in charge, it is quite unsettled. this weather system pushing its way in from the west right now is going to bring some very heavy rain for some through the day on tuesday. that rain through the morning across parts of northern ireland, then swinging across the irish sea into wales, the north of england, the south of scotland, south west scotland could be very wet for a time. bit of rain into the south west of england. northern scotland seeing sunny spells and the odd sharp shower. the south east of england should hold on to some hazy sunshine and some warmth, 23—24 degrees, but stuck under cloud and rain you may well see temperatures no higher cloud and rain, you may well see temperatures no higher than 111—15 degrees. very wet for a time through the evening, particularly across parts of southern scotland. that rain then tries to pull away eastwards.

i think cloud and some patchy rain may linger across south east scotland and northeast england into the first part of wednesday. those are the starting temperatures for wednesday. and then this legacy of cloud still sticking around across parts of northern england, maybe southern scotland, down towards the east of england as well, with the odd spot of rain through wednesday morning. elsewhere, sunny spells and scattered showers. some of those could be on the heavy side. and temperatures of around 18 degrees there for belfast, 23 degrees the high in london. forthursday, it's the sunshine and showers day. most of the showers are likely to be across the north and the east of the uk. not as many showers further west. and those temperatures again in a range between 16—22 degrees for most of us. so any big changes as we head towards the end of the week? well, not really. various weather systems, various areas of low pressure still featuring in the forecast. bit of uncertainty about where it might be wettest over the weekend, just how windy it's going to be, but certainly staying unsettled and relatively cool and no change in that story into the start of next week.
