get off toa katrina matthew clearly wants to get off to a fast start.highest ranked players, and bronte law and the world number 12, carlotta scott mexica na, bronte law and the world number 12, carlotta scott mexicana, in the opening match, morgan prestel brings me plenty of expense for the americans, but the big statement as far as they are concerned, and julie inkster is concerned is the fact that she has bloodied five of her six rookies in this opening sequence of matches. foursomes is not a match, or a format where you can play yourself into it, which you can with the four balls. so it's a big statement. in that way then, it's a big gamble, but this has been the big gamble, but this has been the big talking point around this american team, and i suppose if they are going to get tested, they have got to get tested early. well it's a big statement of faith from julie inkster in the players who have come to the team. obviously allie mcdonald was a late addition to the tea m mcdonald was a late addition to the team following the injury of stacy lewes,

however, the europeans are going to have a big home support, they have a scottish captain, in katrina matthewsme soil, and those european players certainly do not want to let the americans win for the third time in a row. obviously, there is a lot of players, for a solheim cup experience, so i will be looking to them to kind of help guide us through the week, and you know, provide us with any, you know, advice here and there of certain situations that they have experienced. but, you know, just going out and being myself, and hopefully, you know, provide a lot of support to my team—mates as well. dyla n of support to my team—mates as well. dylan has one of three of the five stages so far the tour britain was dylan groonewegan has won three of the five stages so far at the tour of britain. the dutchman came first in the final sprint into birkenhead today. british rider matt walls wasn't far behind, and a day after losing the leaders' green jersey, matteo trentin regained the overall lead after coming third. finally, boxing and former world heavyweight champion tyson fury fights in las vegas on s

europe have never won a solheim cup with a lost the morning sessions so it was so important for katrina matthewter the morning come they led by two and a half to one and a half, three of the english players are putting off —— pulling off good performances, securing a point and for time she has not played in the solheim cup despite just being 23. looking into the afternoon you're wondering where the challenge from the americans may come and then it came early on from a record equalling victory in the match where they did ever so well to secure a 7—5 victory for them and shortly after europe got a point on the board and they were precious and getting that and it all came down to the drama with the final two matches. they did ever so well battling back from two down with four to play to go one up and coming down the 18th and a half, but the real disappointment for europe and the real good point for team usa was the real good point for team usa was the final match because charlie hall we re the final match because charlie hall were four up with six to play, however they ended up having that goal on

so important to get off to a good start for katrina matthews and her side and you had to put credit tothe english players. we had bronte law who was out first taking that first tee shot. nerve—racking but herself and karl otto sikander battled ha rd to but herself and karl otto sikander battled hard to have their match and then you have georgia hall who won then you have georgia hall who won the british women's open last year. she had a very comfortable win and charley hull brought it home in a strong finish along with... those players are very experienced. charley hull is just 23 but this is her fourth solheim cup and they were able to gain a point against the american rookie combination. that setup europe quite nicely with a lead of 2.5 points to 1.5 points after the morning session. it is difficult sometimes when you are the home side and you have the adrenaline flowing through you after that morning session to maintain it into the afternoon, but team europe had done that. yes, the sun is starting to set here and it is definitely looking like it is going to bea definitely looking li

no wonder there was a warm and bright welcome for the scottish captain katrina matthew and her europeanarriving as early as 5:30am to get to the opening tee grandstand. there is something magical that happens to the sport of golf when it turns from the sport of golf when it turns from the individual to the team event, the individual to the team event, the players all talk about an atmosphere unlike anything else they experience on the opening tee, opening morning. for europe this morning, bronte law from stockport had the honour or perhaps the nerves of taking the shot, she is a player seated to the team environment, she is feisty, fiery. —— is suited. the europeans had a positive morning session, they lead by 2.5 points to 1.5 after the morning session thanks in large part to england's georgia hall, major winner last year, in large part to england's georgia hall, majorwinner last year, used to the big occasions. she guided herself and her french rookie team—mate around to a win against a strong american team and it has to be said, welcomed the three lexi thompson, and the four balls ar

session on the opening day, so it was so session on the opening day, so it was so important for katrina matthewt, and they certainly did. after the morning foursomes they led by 2.5 points to 1.5, three of the english players in particular pulling off good performances, brandy law and a half point commit major champion george holt scored, as did the experience charlie whole. that is four times she has now played in the solheim cup despite being just 23. looking into the afternoon you are wondering where the challenge from the americans may come, and it came early on from a record equalling when in the match, angel yin and ali mcdonald —— annie mcdonald doing everything they could to secure a 7—5 went to them, shortly after europe got point on the board. then it all came down to the board. then it all came down to the drama with the final two matches. spare a thought for brandy law and carlotta zagan do, they did everything to battle back, coming down the 18th they had to —— carlota ciganda. the real department for europe and the real good .14 usa was the final match, usa were four up with six t

that is why katrina matthew put out carlota ciganda and bronte law as an opening partnership.d there is a bit of an american momentum heading into this. those guns need to be spiked from europe's point of view. this opening sequence, only four points up for grabs up to lunchtime, but europe will be desperately keen not to be behind by the halfway stage on this opening day. we will see how it all pans out. you can follow all the latest developments on the solheim cup with the live text commentary and highlights on bbc throughout the weekend. sarah, looking forward to it. that's all the sport for now. let's get more now, on the news that the world's first malaria vaccine is being rolled out in parts of kenya from today. it will be added to the routine vaccination schedule, and more than 300,000 children are expected to receive it over the next three years. malaria kills more than 400,000 people globally each year — mostly children. with me now is dr colin sutherland, co—director of the malaria centre at the london school of hygiene and tropical medicine. good to see you to talk

the third when out of three on scottish soil with katrina matthew declaring of the finest achievement golf. she announced retirement shortly afterwards, closing the book on a remarkable playing career that has spanned nine solheim cops. i always think these moments beat everything else. it is s0 moments beat everything else. it is so much about you and you play for your teammates and it is a team effort. today was absolutely a team effort. today was absolutely a team effort for us. the proof we can do it on sunday. earlier, in the major champion, georgia hall, won her fourth consecutive mat stop as the usa fought back they came to within a whisker of retaining the trophy. the solheim cup is now in european hands. sarah mulkerrins, bbc news. suzann petersen who we were talking about, she has retired now. this morning she will have retired. she said she wanted to go out on a high. she wanted to win, as a month. she has done that. it doesn't get better than that. there has been shut after this about how women's golf needs to catch up with other women sport. density football, cricket, tha
