politician who was hard to - they don't preach. indeed, one politician who was hard to go, | they don't preach. indeed, one i politician who was hard to go, as bryan was saying, is donald trump. we will be back with you on a short moment, but let's move onto another big story in us politics. it's been one of the hardestjobs to fill in us politics lately, but now, the us house of representatives finally has a new speaker. this is the moment it was announced. mikejohnson of the state of louisiana, having received the majority of the votes cast, is duly elected the house of representatives for the 118th congress. cheering and applause so, mikejohnson has succeeded where his republican colleagues had failed and united the republican party behind his bid to become speaker. here he is speaking after taking the gavel. i want to say to the american people, on behalf of all of us here, we hear you. we know the challenges you are facing. we know that there's a lot going on in our country, domestically and abroad,
9:39 pm
and we are ready to get to work again to solve those problems, and we will. our mission here is to serve you well, to restore the people's faith in this house, in this great and essential institution. so, let's take a quick look at who he is. he is known as a skilled legislator and a staunch conservative. crucially, he is a close ally of donald trump. he was even a member of the former president's defence team during his first impeachment trial. and when it comes to one of the most contentious foreign affairs issues facing the house — a military aid package for ukraine — he is a vocal sceptic, voting against ukraine funding on multiple occassions. let's bring on our panel to discuss this. i have two default to bryan again as the republican and of course, the american on the panel. mikejohnson, a good choice? young make a great choice. i think you have a conservative republican the who is part of the broad coalition

9:41 pm
where you would have a ultraliberal pushing some type of agenda, but the reality is that the vast majority of republicans are conservatives, and this is a centre—right country, and is probably more in line with the majority of this country then the centre—left. majority of this country then the centre-left— majority of this country then the centre-left. �* , ., ., ., centre-left. and sorry, one more to ou, centre-left. and sorry, one more to you. bryan. — centre-left. and sorry, one more to you. bryan. there — centre-left. and sorry, one more to you, bryan, there has— centre-left. and sorry, one more to you, bryan, there has been - centre-left. and sorry, one more to you, bryan, there has been a i centre-left. and sorry, one more to you, bryan, there has been a lot i you, bryan, there has been a lot more division and warfare, you could say internally in the replicant party. forthis say internally in the replicant party. for this now put a stop to it? -- party. for this now put a stop to it? —— in the republican party. you mike i think everett has been a shooting at each other, so i think at this autumn, we will have a truce orjustice until the cr in 21 days from now. buti orjustice until the cr in 21 days from now. but i think we can expect somewhat of a break for the next three weeks anyway. rebecca, let me just bring you in brutally. i three weeks anyway. rebecca, let me just bring you in brutally.— just bring you in brutally. i think this is reflecting _ just bring you in brutally. i think this is reflecting the _ just bring you in brutally. i think this is reflecting the bigger i this is reflecting the bigger divisions within the us but they are still working through. —— let me bring _ still working through. —— let me bring you — still working through. —— let me bring you in— still working through. —— let me bring you in quickly. i think what is important here is what the house

manchester city were having a difficult night in the swiss capital bern. there is five minutes left there. but a penalty and this from erling haaland has put them 3—1 up against young boys and on course to maintain their 100 per cent start to the group stages. and a draw looking likely too at celtic but it could have been much more for the home side. celtic led twice against atletico madrid but the spanish side equalised both times and the points look as though they're going to be shared. they are at five minutes of stoppage time. in the championship, wayne rooney has lost his first home game in charge of birmingham, as they were beaten by hull city 2—0. preston are heading up to third — but there was late drama at deepdale which stopped them getting all three points. they were leading 2—1 but in the sixth minute of stoppage time, an own goal from ched evans gave southampton a point — as the game finished 2—2. it's been another day of stunning batting at the men's cricket world cup

as glenn maxwell rewrote the record books with an historic innings. he hit a century offjust a0 balls, the fastest in world cup history to put australia in complete control against the netherlands. david warner also made 100 as australia set their opponents 400 to win. and australia's bowlers followed their batting example. adam zampa the pick of them, finishing with four wickets as the netherlands were bowled out forjust 90 — losing by a record 309 runs. i love the fastest 50, fastest 100 records. i think they are pretty cool records and sometimes, to the detriment of myself, i've always probably push the boundaries a bit too much. i've been in those positions before where i could make vast hundreds, when i get on a run, i know i'm difficult to bowl two. it is just about getting past the first ball.

in basel, andy murray is a in a tight tussle against argentina's tomas echeveri in the second round. the brit took the opening set in a tie break before losing the second 6—3 with the final set underway. disappointment forfellow brit cameron norrie — who's been knocked out of the austrian open in the second round. he was beaten in straight sets by alexander zverev, losing 6—2, 6—4, in a match that lasted just over an hour. there's been a double retirement for two british rugby players today. wales fly—half leigh halfpenny has revealed the match against the barbarians a week on saturday will be his last international appearance, while ben youngs, england's most capped men's player, will end his international career after the world cup third—place play—off against argentina on friday winning his 127th and final cap. youngs made his test debut against scotland in march 2010 when current coach steve borthwick was captain. i feel incredibly proud to have done it for this long. i think it's taken a huge amount
9:54 pm
of effort to do it for 13 years, and it's just fitting. it feels right. i feel so privileged to be able to play and walk away on my terms. i've always had this focus of getting to this world cup, and i neverfelt that after this world cup, i would need to carry on or anything like that. i look forward to playing club rugby and look forward to supporting this team from a distance, but it's been a great ride. meanwhile, the rugby football union have revealed talks are underway for a women's international against new zealand at twickenham next year — in what would be a repeat of last year's world cup final. england's women first played at twickenham last year — when over 58,000 fans watched them beat france to win the six nations grand slam. really exciting as a squad, to be honest. we are a squad that wants to keep breaking world records, and what better place to do it than at twickenham, again, against new

with some showery outbreaks of rain, a brisk east wind. at the same time, a weather front moving in towards northern ireland bringing some heavier outbreaks of rain, also in towards wales, the south—west of england. and as we approach midnight and the early hours of thursday morning, that wet weather pushing in towards the midlands, the north—west of england and in towards the far south—east. temperatures here overnight, a rather chilly four degrees in norwich. not as cold in scotland compared with last night, and mild in the south—west at around 11 celsius. into thursday, a low pressure situated to our west once again bringing weather fronts, showery outbreaks of rain and some brisk winds around the south—west coast and the north and north—east coast of scotland. through the day, we've got the overnight rain continuing to track its way northwards towards the north—east of england and further showery outbreaks of rain through scotland as well. some of this wet weather could well become fairly stagnant across eastern areas through the end of the week. elsewhere on thursday, we've got some sunshine, but also a number of sharp showers and temperatures around 11—15 celsius. on friday once again, low pressure situated to the west, sending weather fronts, showery outbreaks of rain our way. there will be some brighter skies in the mix at times, too. you can see, though, certainly across parts of scotland, outbreaks of rain consistently pushing in from the north sea
