knockout stages of their first ever world cup finals. matt graveling, bbc news. so this is turning into a really memorable world cup, and it's making great tv. well, farah williams is part of the bbc team covering the tournament and england's most capped player — and earlier, she gave me her reaction to germany's exit. it is definitely the biggest shock in the women's game, and certainly in the women's game, and certainly in world cup history in terms of the women's game. they were favourites going into the tournament to breathe out the group, second ranked in the world to come up against korea, morocco who are debutantes, and korea, and not be able to get out of the group is a massive disappointment for sure. find the group is a massive disa ointment for sure. �* ., ., disappointment for sure. and korea, althou . h disappointment for sure. and korea, although there _ disappointment for sure. and korea, although there was _ disappointment for sure. and korea, although there was a _ disappointment for sure. and korea, although there was a tiny _ disappointment for sure. and korea, although there was a tiny chance - although there was a tiny chance they could go through if they scored loads of goals, which they weren't going to do, didn't have a lot to play for, so for them to hold was incredible? it play for, so for them to hold was incredible?— incredible? it was korea's best performance _ incredible? it was korea's best performance. they _ incredible? it was korea's best performance. they had - incredible? it was korea's best performance. they had to - incredible? it was korea's best performance. they had to get| incredible? it was korea's best. performance. they had to get five goals which, against the germans for korea, it was unlikely they would do

6:38 pm
england now that germany have gone home priscilla i think so, we've had a really good and to the group with beating china. notjust the performance by getting the goals, we now avoid the likes of germany on our route to the final, giving us a bit of hope to come home without world cup. bit of hope to come home without world cup-— world cup. wouldn't that be something? _ world cup. wouldn't that be something? let's _ world cup. wouldn't that be something? let's stick- world cup. wouldn't that be something? let's stick to i world cup. wouldn't that be - something? let's stick to football. some transfer news for you now — and newcastle have agreed to sign the southampton defender tino livramento and it could cost them up to £40 million. the 20—year—old leaves southampton, who were relegated afterjoining from chelsea two years ago forjust £5 million. the fee includes a number of add—ons. and chelsea have agreed to sign the brighton goalkeeper robert sanchez for £25 million. the spaniard leaves them after ten years on the south coast. stay with us on sportsday, because still to come... from the nfl to the efl — tom brady goes into business with birmingham city.
6:39 pm
but now, we're turning our attention to the netball world cup where england are full of confidence after a rare win over australia in their final group match. both teams had already qualified for the semi finals, but england's victory was historic nonetheless. they'd never beaten the world number ones at the tournament, and they fought back from eight goals down in the third quarter to win it 56—55 in cape town, eleanor cardwell with the deciding goal. england will now play the defending champions new zealand in the semis, while australia face jamaica. it is massively important moment for this group in particular. itjust adds to our confidence bank. but we
6:40 pm
know we've got two games to come and it means nothing if we can't follow it up. but for today, it's important to allow these guys to just celebrate that. i think it's the fact that we were eight down, and then to be pushed in the last 15 and still come out on top — i don't think you can understate mentally about where the group is at the moment, that's the scary thing, and that something to look forward to as we go to the semifinals. well earlier, i spoke to kathyrn merry, who's part of the bbc team in south africa, and she gave me her reaction to england's victory. this was a big victory — so big that the psychological lift now that the england team will have his big now. they've never beaten australia in the cup, so that was a hard—fought win today. it the cup, so that was a hard-fought win toda . . , ., , . the cup, so that was a hard-fought win toda . . , . , . ., win today. it was a difficult game for both sides _ win today. it was a difficult game for both sides because _ win today. it was a difficult game for both sides because they - win today. it was a difficult game for both sides because they both| for both sides because they both already qualified for the semifinals, so this was just their final pool game. why do you think england had the edge, what was it that gave them the difference? i think the difference today with england and throughout this netball
6:41 pm
world cup so far has been there, nature and consistency. they still seem to be making the right decisions at the right time. they were five one point, then six down. it was an absolute roller coaster, but some of the changes just thoroughly but —— just there will be made and errors australia made... 50 made and errors australia made... so england top of the pool which no one would've suspected at the beginning of the tournament. what advantage could that give england? it’s a of the tournament. what advantage could that give england? it's a huge advantaae could that give england? it's a huge advantage because _ could that give england? it's a huge advantage because now— could that give england? it's a huge advantage because now it's - could that give england? it's a huge advantage because now it's a - could that give england? it's a huge| advantage because now it's a matter of who they'll take on in the semifinals. but we still don't know who they'll face because the host, south africa, with their brilliant draw last night, still have a slim chance of making the semifinal, so we aren't sure who england will face in the semis but we will know exactly who by the end of this evening. exactly who by the end of this evenina. �* exactly who by the end of this evenina.�* , , .,_ exactly who by the end of this evenina.�* , , ._ ,., exactly who by the end of this evenin.. �* , , , , ., ., evening. and presumably, should that semifinal no evening. and presumably, should that semifinal go well, _ evening. and presumably, should that semifinal go well, they _ evening. and presumably, should that semifinal go well, they would - evening. and presumably, should that semifinal go well, they would end - evening. and presumably, should that semifinal go well, they would end up | semifinal go well, they would end up meeting australia again in the final

british rowing has announced it will ban transgender women from competing in women's category events from the end of the season. it says it's changed its policy following "extensive and ongoing research and consultation". transgender athletes who were born female and are not undergoing hormone treatment can still enter female races. world rowing currently does allow transgender women to compete in the female category with reduced testosterone levels. let's have a quick look at some of the other stories making the headlines today today's hundred pits the northern superchargers against the birmingham phoenix at headingley — and the superchargers comfortably won the women's game by seven wickets. the men's match isjust under way. one of the most hotly—contested races at this year's glorious goodwood — the nassau stakes was won by al husn, who upset the form book by beating the odds on favourite blue rose cen, and the defending champion nashwa to win her first group one.
6:44 pm
and there's been another british medal at the world para—swimming championships in manchester, maisie summers—newton took silver in the s6 1100m freestyle with a personal best time. it's her second medal of the week. next to some news about the rugby league world cup — because its future was somewhat uncertain after france pulled—out of hosting it in 2025 and it was rescheduled for a year later. but we now know — it's going to be staged in the southern hemisphere. the world governing body, international rugby league, says two potential hosts have made bids and that they'll choose which is successful by the end of the year. the reality is these competitions are significant in their logistics and organisation. and to have a truncated one was always going to be difficult for france. that's another 12 months... we did get a proposal
6:45 pm
for 2025 from a country, but we thought the better chance of success was to move it to 2026 in a different format, so we had to make that decision as a board for not only this world cup, but future world cup going forward. well, the 2026 tournament will be reduced in size to ten teams, down from 16 — which our rugby league correspondent dave woods says will make it much more competitive. what we had throughout history, for a long time, was that there were only three nations i could ever hope of winning it. what we've seen emerge in recent years is tonga and samoa, who historically made the final last year, emerging as powerhouses. vg are not a long way behind. papua new guinea are not a long way behind. so rugby league internationally is a strong —— is evolving very strongly but it doesn't go beyond the ten nations at the moment. 50 doesn't go beyond the ten nations at the moment-— the moment. so they said the southern hemisphere, - the moment. so they said the southern hemisphere, what . the moment. so they said the i southern hemisphere, what does the moment. so they said the - southern hemisphere, what does that mean, who will that be? tiara

6:47 pm
feel it's a spotlight on its own, similar to the way women's world cup football is being very successful in australia and new zealand. so i think they're looking to 2028 for maybe those two nations to host a women's world cup stand alone, as well. and from then on, the women's world cup will be stand—alone going forward every four years. what world cup will be stand-alone going forward every four years. what about the wheelchair _ forward every four years. what about the wheelchair tournament? - forward every four years. what about the wheelchair tournament? they're | the wheelchair tournament? they're lookin: to the wheelchair tournament? they're looking to keep _ the wheelchair tournament? they're looking to keep the _ the wheelchair tournament? they're looking to keep the wheelchair- looking to keep the wheelchair tournament with the men's tournament. 0bviously tournament with the men's tournament. obviously a lot of costs involved with the wheelchair tournament. they need to make sure it's financially viable, but at this stage, the international rugby league are planning to keep the men's and the wheelchair together from 2026, 2030 and going forward after that. let's move on now to the cycling world championships — which got under way today in scotland. it's the biggest—ever multi—discipline cycling event, and there's lots going on with 200 gold medals on offer over 11 days. so let's go live now to glasgow, where our correspondent nesta mcgregorjoins me. and nesta, lots of action but things didn't quite start the way the british team would have
6:48 pm
liked did they? i'm afraid not, but with great britain winning cycles at great britain winning cycles at great britain chapin chips, we've only had to look at the last 0lympics britain chapin chips, we've only had to look at the last olympics in tokyo over the top the metal table. but after the disaster this morning in the men's team in pursuit on the final corner of the final lap, charlie ten field crashed, great britain are out, charlie ten field hitting the word and track hard. he was treated track—side and taken to hospital where we later learned he suffered a concussion, so we wish him well for today and the rest of the championships, as well. but better news for the women's when it comes to the team sprint because they finished fastest. it's important they finished fastest

6:53 pm
world champion isjust a testament to how much hard work we've put into this. i can't thank the team enough, the emotions i experienced on saturday and sunday are something i'll probably never get again. you know, you only become world champion for the first time once. and to share it with all my team, all the hard work and preparation to come out on top was pretty special. it wasn't totally straightforward for you, you had a bit of a gap in the middle of the season where you weren't doing so well. so how did you turn around? i weren't doing so well. so how did you turn around?— you turn around? i mean, it 'ust felt like a — you turn around? i mean, it 'ust felt like a constant i you turn around? i mean, it 'ust felt like a constant reset. i you turn around? i mean, itjust felt like a constant reset. afterl felt like a constant reset. after the first couple of ray says, we did extremely well, we were leading the championship, then the likes of cape town, india, then sao paulo, it was a super huge point in my career and my season. i'd never really been in that position, so to be able to win races and not being able to deliver, i would say we were making mistakes,
6:54 pm
we were unfortunately involved in other people's crashes. so ijust feel like this is the reset button, but itjust never happen for us. and eventually when we got to the european leg back in berlin, we finally got back on the podium and there was no turning back. but nevertheless, a challenging season for my partner and i, but we came out on top. ii for my partner and i, but we came out on top-— out on top. if you compare with formula 1. _ out on top. if you compare with formula 1, there _ out on top. if you compare with formula 1, there have - out on top. if you compare with formula 1, there have been i formula 1, there have been criticisms about it being a bit too predictable, with max for staff and being so dominating, but it's good for formula e that it was a tough season. �* , ., , �* season. it's inevitable he'll win, you're just _ season. it's inevitable he'll win, you're just relying _ season. it's inevitable he'll win, you're just relying on _ season. it's inevitable he'll win, you're just relying on the i season. it's inevitable he'll win, i you're just relying on the midfield battle. but formula e has so many overtakes and riders heading to london, all working at an extremely high level, and the amount of overtakes the season is well over 1000 in terms of the championship total. it's pretty special and to be involved in that at such a young stage of it, championships in its ninth season, i'm sure it will continue to grow.— ninth season, i'm sure it will continue to grow. and what now for

6:56 pm
there've been quite a few in northern scotland, for example, here in murray. there's also quite a bit of cloud here. most of us did manage a little bit of sunshine. some of the heaviest showers worked across the midlands into central southern england through the afternoon, but it did become largely dry for wales. quite a few light showers there in northern ireland. now talking about showers, it's another showery day for friday before we get some heavier rain into the weekend for northern ireland, for england and for wales with those rainfall totals once again really building up. now, overnight tonight, there's a few showers left over, northern and eastern scotland, northeast england. otherwise, it's largely dry with some clear spells, and temperatures ranging between around 11—13 celsius. for friday's forecast, we start off on a bright note for many areas, although there could be a few showers in the east first thing in the morning. heading into the afternoon, you've got a decent chance of it staying dry with some sunshine in the west, because most of the showers are going to start to form along this band in eastern england. that's where we've got a convergence zone, where the winds bash together,
6:57 pm
shovelling the moisture together. that's where the showers are most likely. further west, wales, western england, northern ireland, west scotland, probably a largely dry afternoon, but temperatures still a little bit below average for early august. now, beyond that, friday night and into saturday, we've got the next area of low pressure set to move in, bringing some wet and some windy weather. heavy rain friday night, still around saturday in northern ireland, 20—30mm, maybe even double that in places. and then this wet weather moves into england and wales on saturday with some strong winds, 60—odd mph gusts around the coasts and hills of wales, not far behind that for southern england. now winds that strong could bring some localised disruption. maybe the severn crossing running with some speed restrictions, for example, you might see an odd tree being brought down. and, although it's wet and windy for many, i think for scotland, more of a mixture of sunny spells and passing showers. now, on the face of it, sunday's the better of the two days of the weekend, sunshine and showers, some of those could be quite heavy. the showery conditions last through monday, tuesday, and for wednesday, as well. but after that, we see a massive change in the weather pattern.
6:58 pm
the first area of high pressure to cross the uk for over seven weeks, and this will settle the weather down, at least for a day or two. so we're talking about a spell of much warmer weather. temperatures in the warmest spots could reach the high 20s. so a little taste of summer.
