while dan evans and jack draper also made it through. now three women are into round two, including katie boulter, now ranked better than ever on a great day for british strength in numbers. patrick geary, bbc news. time for a look at the weather. here's tomasz schafernaker and we've to expect another spectacle in the sky tonight with the moon? let me explain what exactly is super moon, a blue super moon is.- let me explain what exactly is super moon, a blue super moon is. super is because the — moon, a blue super moon is. super is because the moon _ moon, a blue super moon is. super is because the moon is _ moon, a blue super moon is. super is because the moon is at _ moon, a blue super moon is. super is because the moon is at its _ moon, a blue super moon is. super is because the moon is at its closest - because the moon is at its closest proximity to the earth so it will appear larger than normal and that is why it is a super moon for the blue is because we already had one full moon this month and we will get a second and that is why it is called the super blue moon. of course it is not going to be blue, but is just the saying once in a blue moon. so we will get clearer
1:31 pm
skies tonight, enough of a window i think for the skies to remain clear later on. but back to the here and now, the weather front to the west of ireland right now. for the rest of ireland right now. for the rest of today and a scattering of cloud and occasional showers and temperatures around 16 in aberdeen, 17 in liverpool and 20 in london. slightly below par. so this evening the weather front approaching ireland, the sky is turning hazy here but elsewhere across the uk a good chance of catching a glimpse of that super blue moon but in the south—west by the early morning it will be cloudy, milder at 12 degrees in plymouth, quite fresh elsewhere. this weather front will bring rain to northern ireland, wales, southern parts of england and the midlands for the heavy for a time and pockets of rain will be flirting with the south pretty much all through the day. the best of the weather feeling warmest across this portion of the
1:32 pm
uk tomorrow. and that is tomorrow evening with still some rain in the south and reaching south—west scotland. on friday the weather front is still fairly close by. a very slow moving front so still some showers around. beautiful weather across the western isles of scotland, perhaps some showers most likely across northern england. but some good news because by the weekend we are expecting high pressured to build. i know that through this summer i've lost count of any, how many had with low pressure arriving but this is different, saturday and sunday seeing this high building and that is promising as some fine weather. so if you showers around on friday but then saturday and sunday, monday, tuesday, looking absolutely smashing. looks good! and that's bbc news at one. you can keep up with all the latest developments on the bbc
1:33 pm
website. the news continues here on bbc one — as now its time to join our colleagues across the nations and regions for the news where you are — goodbye. hello and welcome to sportsday. i'm tanya arnold. it's a huge night for rangers who stand on the brink of the champions league... it's a great day for the brits at the us open, all 6 in action got through to round two... and it's time to get moving, a new task force is launched to get us to be more active! it's a huge night ahead for rangers.
1:34 pm
they're in the netherlands to face psv eindhoven in the second leg of their play—off with the tie evenly poised at 2—2. the winner will get a place in the champions league group stages and rangers manager michael beale says he's not worried about being labelled as underdogs. listen, we expect it, the other team needs to be confident, they're in their home stadium. and the first game was a draw, we don't read too much into that. we know that we have to perform, ifeel, better than we performed last week if we want to go through. this team is due a big performance so it's there, the opportunity for us is clear. paul barnes is in eindhoven for us and says it's a challenge the team and fans are relishing... the group stage of the champions league is the top table of the champions league. a cash offer of £20 million. the rangers are only 90 minutes away from winning a second
1:35 pm
yearin minutes away from winning a second year in a row. it will be a tough arsenal, they drew with p53 to all. the dutch team are certainly the favourites to go through. that want to turn —— that won't deter the rangers manager. p5p to turn —— that won't deter the rangers manager. psp and ranges met in the same place in the competition last year. will be hoping for more of the same tonight. rachel daly won the pfa women's player of the year award last night. the aston villa striker was top scorer in the women's super league. and no surprise that manchester city's erling haaland won the men's award. it follows that astonishing break—out season in the premier league last term — he scored 52 goals in all competitions. bukayo 5aka and laurenjames, alongside him, won the young player of the year awards. i was dreaming about doing these kind of things. and i will keep going.
1:36 pm
i will train hard to become better. and i will do everything i can to to make these things that we achieve together last season. it was a really memorable day for british tennis with the six players in action yesterday all making it through, to join lily miyazaki in the second round. andy murray one of those — straight out of the blocks against frenchman corentin moutet of france, winning the first set 6—2..// but moutet threatened to end that perfect run of sets, wasting 2 set points in the second, before murray held his nerve to win and then take the third. he'll play grigor dimitrov next. yeah, i thought i did well. difficult match against a very skilful opponent. a very different game style to pretty much all of the guys on the tour now. and, yeah, there were a lot of long points and tricky moments out there, you know, a lot of stuff
1:37 pm
going on there on the court so i did well to get it done in three sets. cameron norrie was another one through. he beat alexander 5hevchenko, winning injust over an hour and a half and will be hoping to progress further than the fourth round, which he reached last year. the british number two jack draper, whose working his way back from a serious shoulder injury, saw off world number 102 radu albot with ease. that was before dan evans made it four british men into round two. carlos alcaraz had a short start to the defence of his u5 0pen men's title after german opponent dominik koepfer retired injured midway through theirfirst—round match. alcaraz had mixed feelings about the match ending early. i want to play barrels. i want to play for much else. it's not the best way to win a match. 0bviously,
1:38 pm
playing the season, i am happy to come back early, have some rest. a little bit more than i expect before starting the match, its going to be better for me to recover. in the women's draw, lily miyazaki is the first brit in second round action later as she takes on fifteenth seed belinda bencic. katie boulterjoined her in round two, beating diane parry of france. that's the first time boulter�*s won a singles match at any grand slam event outside of wimbledon. she plays the much lower ranked chinese player wang yafan next so will be hoping to go even further. and jodie burrage made it a clean sweep of brits through to the second round. 5he beat anna blinkova.
1:39 pm
but she has a much tougher test next. aryna 5abalenka is the number two seed. the belarusian came through against the belgian maryna zanevska. former england rugby union star, ugo monye, is part of a new national activity taskforce being launched by the government. it's to encourage us to spend more time on the move. adults should aim to carry out at least 150 minutes of moderate activity each week and children should do 60 minutes of physical activity every day. there isn't enough education and awareness of the impact of physical activity on our physical and mental health. you know, statistics like physical activity can can get rid of about a million cases of diabetes a year, 100,000 cases of dementia. it can raise academic attainment and achievement in our schools. it can lower the referrals to mental health services for children, young people. all of these facts need to be talked about more. and i hope this strategy again and the task force behind it really ups the ante on public awareness, because i think
1:40 pm
when people know these things and people are struggling, there are many things we can do at no cost. we can walk more, we can get out and enjoy the outside and the outdoors with our families. that is a simple thing. we can make play times at school more active and more joyful for more children. there are simple things that we can do, but we have to understand why. and then we have to be empowered and supported and encouraged to do it. we need to see local clubs, local volunteers helped and aided to maintain provision at local level because if it isn't local and it isn't accessible, even if we get that that demand right, people turn around and want to try and get to sport. they can't get there or it's too expensive. that's going to be a barrier. england's women cricketers will get the same match fees as the men after their sensational ashes series this summer where they got record—breaking crowds. it's said the women were paid just 25% of men's fees for white—ball cricket and 15% for tests. the change was recommended
1:41 pm
in the independent commission for equity in cricket report, which found discrimination is "widespread" in english and welsh cricket. england captain heather knight says the change is "fantastic to see". the of to six increases that the players may see through these. when you combine those with the earning opportunities around the globe now, whether that is the wpl in india or the english international fees, whether that is the wpl in india or the english internationalfees, the big bash, what we are seeing around now and within the next 12 months, the very top player could be earning well in excess half £1 million a year. england one—day cricket captain jos buttler admits he's feeling the strain of a busy schedule which culminates in the defence of their world cup crown this autumn — but is looking forward to being back on the international stage. buttler was captain of the manchester 0riginals side
1:42 pm
that lost in the hundred final on sunday, but will be back in action this evening, as england face new zealand in the first of four t20 matches. everyone's been playing high—class competitive cricket which is great. the hundred was i think a brilliant tournament this year, lots of close games. high quality standard of cricket. so like i say, everyone is very battle hardened. but it's brilliant to get together as a team and put on the england shirt again so we're very excited to play some international cricket. i think you need cricket now in the lead at _ i think you need cricket now in the lead at the — i think you need cricket now in the lead at the world cup. the guy is going _ lead at the world cup. the guy is going to — lead at the world cup. the guy is going to the tournament, you're playing — going to the tournament, you're playing against the quality. it's a different — playing against the quality. it's a different format, but it's any cricket — different format, but it's any cricket now to the world cup is good cricket _ play gets under way at six o'clock this evening. follow it on the bbc, five sports extra will have commentary and the website will have in—play video highlights — that's bbc.co.uk/sport for that and all the latest sports news. from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye.
