looking forward to our conversation in saudi football but before we do that let's go to the sports hello, ben. hello from the bbc sport centre. it's been another busy day at the women's world cup — and a potentially costly one for the european champions england. their match against denmark started well enough — lauren james�* early goal enough to give them a 1—nil victory, but it came at a price, key midfielder kiera walsh suffering a serious looking knee injury and it remains to be seen whether she'll for to play again. of course i'm concerned because she couldn't walk off the pitch. we don't know yet so we can't take any assumptions. let'sjust don't know yet so we can't take any assumptions. let's just wait until we really have a diagnosis and then we really have a diagnosis and then we can tell you. it's not nice when a player goes off the pitch that way. but we also know unfortunately, these things happen sometimes in
8:31 pm
football. you have to move on, you are at the world cup and you want to win that game so we really have to adapt to a new situation is quick as possible. that's what we did. well england's place in the last 16 is not yet confirmed. they will need to avoid defeat against china in theirfinal match on tuesday. china kept their hopes alive of reaching the knockout stages after beating haiti 1—0 but had to recover from an early setback. zhang rui sent off for that challenge afterjust 30 minutes their goal came from a wang shuang penalty to secure their first win of the tournament. arguably game of the day came in group g as argentina fought back to draw 2—2 with south africa in dunedin. south africa looked in control at 2—0 up before sophia braun score a screamer to pull one back for argentina and five minutes later, romina nunez headed home an equaliser. a point apiece means both teams can still reach the last 16. juventus have been kicked out of this season's europa conference league for breaching
8:32 pm
financial fair play regulations. they've also been fined $22 million by uefa — half of which is suspended pending compliance in the coming years. juve have accepted the decision but maintain they did nothing wrong. fiorentina will likely take their spot in the competition instead. a late show of defiance from australia's lower order batters frustrated england bowlers on day two and left the fifth and final ashes test delicately poised england were on top for much of the day — taking wickets at regular intervals to leave australia 185—7. but a partnership of 5a between pat cummins and steve smith and then a stand of 49 between cummins and todd murphy meant they ended the day with a 12 run lead after being bowled out for 295. asa as a day went on we started making inroads, 150—5. we thought we could maybe get a lead going into the second and ends with it but it was not the case. we just have to back ourselves now, back the way we did
8:33 pm

8:34 pm
breakaway to win stage six of the tour de france femmes. the dane held off the peleton to give her movistar team their second win at this year's tour. belgian lotte kopecky finished third and leads the race byjust under a minute ahead of tomorrow's crucial climb up the col du tourmalet. plenty more at bbc.com /sport but that's the latest from the bbc sport centre. if you are a football fan and you been following the european transfers like me you'll know only two way there's a new major new buyer in the market. it is saudi arabia, they are the new china, spending billions attracting some of europe's biggest talent to the saudi pro league. and as you look at that list of players who have taken the money, you will notice a pattern, most of them have been transferred on a fee, most are in their 30s looking for a last big move, most of them, if not all, have played champions league football. the saudi spending is part of wider national strategy. the crown prince aims to establish his country as a global sporting hub. but what does it mean for world football, for television rights, for the new talent emerging
8:35 pm
in europe and in africa? two expert people to discuss it with me tonight. two expert people to discuss it with me tonight. with me to discuss tonight is martin lipton, the sun's chief sports reporter. and 5 live and bbc match of the day commentator conor mcnamara. welcome to you both. connor, can i start with you? i look at that list and i see a number of players who need wasn't last big move coming from clubs which are financially stretched. it begs the question whether the european football league are taking advantage of the saudi bailout? it’s are taking advantage of the saudi bailout? �* , . ._ , are taking advantage of the saudi bailout? �*, . , . ., ., ~ bailout? it's always nice to take advantage _ bailout? it's always nice to take advantage of— bailout? it's always nice to take advantage of someone - bailout? it's always nice to take advantage of someone who - bailout? it's always nice to take l advantage of someone who wants bailout? it's always nice to take - advantage of someone who wants to give you large amounts of money, isn't it? i think we seen all of this before at different stages you think back to the 70s in the united states, the biggest names of the game went fair la, best in a little bit like trinaldo towards the end of their career. at that time might�*ve thought is this the end? is the big american petrodollar get a world game? are all the players can end up
8:36 pm
playing there, lead to a dearth of talent elsewhere in the work with mac that didn't happen. i think you stretch this through the glory years of manchester united alex ferguson, they were enormous strength and you felt from that position, that amount of shirts that sell around the world, would anyone be able to compete competitively with them financially because? then comes a robe and a roving abramovich of chelsea. can anybody compete with russian oil? these cycles do tend to come around. a lot of people have spent a lot of money trying to dominate the global game. it's different to things like a big boxing match. in saudi arabia they can pay two boxes to come over, they pay them a lot of money but it's just you managed to sign the contract, you can hold hold a world—class event. liv golf wants to get a hundred players signed up, you got yourself a competition. but football is different. to take of a football is different. to take of a football they're going to have to get tens of thousands of signatures for the in the break weight european league found out it's difficult to

few months will be scrolling through our social media feeds and will see a video of cristiano ronaldo spectacular bicycle. will see some little story that we talk about in the domestic income maybejordan henderson will refuse to shake hands after match or something like that. that clip will go viral. but outside of clips i wonder what side of cut through there will be. how far down the line when people are sitting down to watch 90 minutes of a saudi domestic league game? that was a thing in china, they did get some players leave chelsea and would argue is the peak of their careers athletic of madrid was the first player league in spain and he went to china. but that we never saw him. you can disappear into the ether a little bit. if it does get attraction, people start to take an interest, ratherthan attraction, people start to take an interest, rather than the european leagues trying to cut it out i wonder could there in the future, this is the distant future now but look to be a link up rather than a

my conversation with local residents has been empty for a month and russians targeted that building and a nearby building. recklessness, yes but we have seen this in ukraine over and over again, residential houses and apartment blocks being hit. so you never know where it's going to land. i was walking on the streetjust going to land. i was walking on the street just to get to a going to land. i was walking on the streetjust to get to a shop and there were bags and the next thing big smoke and fire. tiara there were bags and the next thing big smoke and fire.— big smoke and fire. two incoming bombs, big smoke and fire. two incoming bombs. l've _ big smoke and fire. two incoming bombs, i've only _ big smoke and fire. two incoming bombs, i've only got _ big smoke and fire. two incoming bombs, i've only got a _ big smoke and fire. two incoming bombs, i've only got a minute - big smoke and fire. two incoming | bombs, i've only got a minute but big smoke and fire. two incoming i bombs, i've only got a minute but is there no air protection in dnipro, no anti—aircraft missiles they are? the problem with this particular attack, there was no siren before the attack. i think the russians were using ballistic... i'm not a weapons expert but something that which is the aircraft defence couldn't notice before it happened.
8:55 pm
because there were two strikes and then two minutes later we heard the siren. i think the anti—aircraft defence system didn't notice those missiles. that is the problem. thank you for coming up and explaining to us what happened this evening. five people injured in that strike on a multistory building in dnipro. the president volodymyr zelensky has called it russian missile terror. we will keep you updated on developments in dnipro. do stay with us. hello. friday was a pleasant enough day for most of us. just a few showers here and there. but how about the weekend? it is looking a little on the unsettled side but i don't think it is going to be as bad as last weekend. last weekend, at least saturday for some of us was an absolute write—off without persistent rain
8:56 pm
and the strong winds. but on the satellite picture, low pressure is close by — and a fair amount of cloud and low pressures are heading our way. in fact, over the next few days, we will see a succession of lows sweeping across the country. here is the picture early in the morning, not particularly cold, 13—15 degrees celsius. sunny spells, already a few scattered showers, some of them on the heavy side. and actually, as we go through the course of the morning, into the afternoon, the showers may become more frequent, particularly in northern ireland, scotland and northern england. least frequent showers i think the further south and south—east you are. so frequent sunny spells here. and temperatures up to about 22 celsius in norwich, high teens expected in belfast and through the lowlands of scotland. how does that bode for the cricket? well, certainly showers on the cards, and of course it is scheduled until monday. i think showers are expected until then as well. here is the picture for sunday. jet stream across the atlantic, another low heading our way and the weather front at this stage in the morning approaching ireland
8:57 pm
with more persistent outbreaks of rain, then reaching the south—west of wales. but it is not cloudy and wet everywhere, far from it. in fact, across much of northern england and scotland, there will be plenty of bright weather and actually quite sunny there in aberdeen and stornoway. with highs of up to about 18 celsius. i mentioned at the beginning of the forecast that there is a succession of low pressure is heading our way. and indeed, thejet stream is pointing right at us. look at all that rainfall, and notjust here in the uk but right across europe. further south in the mediterranean, it is going to be dry. so how wet it hasjuly been? because it has been wet. in fact, in northern ireland, 184% of the average rainfall. and in england, about 163% of the average. but of course that does vary from region to region. so here is the outlook for the weekend and into next week. it is more of the same, on the cool side but not far off average. and of course changeable. bye— bye.
