hello and welcome along to the programme. 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 are far off and i think australia, everyone knows it, they are number one in the world and i think we are doing really well taking them all the way. all the games have been fantastic but the belief

in the change room is we can win this series 3—2 and there is no doubt about that, that we have that any change room. 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 is still a future for the saudi—funded breakaway series. absolutely. i'm optimistic. i think golf is in a great spot. there are obviously a lot of things that are up in the air that no—one really knows at the moment. i don't even think the guys that are trying to sort it out really know what this 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 would put it up is probably his best when outside the majors and there have been plenty of them in a glorious career. ok, he has not won a majorfor nine years, career. ok, he has not won a major for nine years, but imagine if he had one yesterday, another instance of taking a third round lead into the final round. it was very, very windy. he needed to be the last two holes, in either one of the best shots of his career to set up the winning birdie on the 18th after brilliant tee shot into the par 3/17. 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 £105 million and joined the team's preseason 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 everyone we have made brings a special thing to the team, —— resigning. declan has done tremendously well for west ham and england. it is a team thatis ham and england. it is a team that is going to bring a lot of qualities, a lot of leadership in the lead, very specific in the position with the policies he has. we are delighted to have him. championship club leeds united are on the brink of new ownership, with 49ers 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 84 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. 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 for female 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. in 2015 that they will play 15 million _ in 2015 that they will play 15 million by fifa. in 2023 it has -ot million by fifa. in 2023 it has got up — million by fifa. in 2023 it has got up to— million by fifa. in 2023 it has got up to 110. it has improved but there _ got up to 110. it has improved but there is room for improvement. 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 just women footballers are striving for, 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 is something that we always knew. it was not a matter of if it was a matter of when full so now we have had it at the world championships. i don't think the pressure will be there, but i think, yes, the pressure will be there, but ithink, yes, our the pressure will be there, but i think, yes, our members will like some guidance because they have to run their national programmes with our fleet so they would like to know. from a public opinion perspective, think there will be support, i think there will be support, i think there will be support, i think there will be people against, as with any new advancement in society. the transgender population is growing so we need to make sure we get them sport opportunities but also protect female athletes.— but also protect female athletes. �* athletes. and when will the decision be _ athletes. and when will the decision be made _ athletes. and when will the decision be made and - athletes. and when will the decision be made and will. athletes. and when will the l decision be made and will the io si's decision come into it at all? ., ,, ., ~

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, southwest scotland could be very wet for a time. bit of rain into the southwest of england. northern scotland seeing sunny spells and the odd sharp shower. the southeast 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 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 southeast 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.

an attack on the bridge linking live from washington, this is bbc news. the international community condemns russia's decision to pull out of a vital grain deal. extreme weather grips parts of asia, europe and the us, as sky—high temperatures show no signs of letting up. plus, a small reason for hope in the battle against alzheimer's. a new drug is able to slow the progression of the disease in some patients. hello. i'm sumi somaskanda. we begin tonight with two major developments, related to the war in ukraine —
