northern isles. it doesn't look like it will last many of us although i think we will hold on to a fine weekend in southern and eastern parts. low pressure starts to work backin parts. low pressure starts to work back in bringing the temperatures back in bringing the temperatures back down below average with outbreaks of rain for scotland and northern ireland. some warm weather to come thursday into friday. that's it. i'll be back at 10pm, but you can keep up with all the latest hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm gavin ramjaun. england into the last 8 at the womens world cup but the lionnesses ride their luck against nigeria. i think that's what football is all about, fight until the end and being ready at the moment and being able to take the penalties for that of course for us that was great. not so great though for laurenjames, who's sent off in the second half. how much could that cost them? and the mathildas march on — they're too strong for denmark, the co—hosts putting their early tournament wobbles to bed. and joe marchant makes england's rugby world cup squad but there are some notable absentees. also coming up on sportsday... bmx is centre stage in scotland at the cycling world championships with more hopes for gb on the track later. and the world cup didn't quite come home for england's netball team — we'll hear from head coachjess thirlby. hello there and welcome along to the programme... it's been a women's world cup full of twists so far, with big names like the usa, germany and brazil knocked out. of the latest upset today against nigeria. the african side were more than a match and could so easily have won the match inside 90 minutes. england's struggles not helped by in—form laurenjames being sent off, for an off—the—ball incident. shades of beckham in 1998, if you remember that. the match went all the way to penalties but this time as not the case back then england progressed, keeping their dreams of a first womens world cup alive. progressed, keeping their dreams jane dougall is in brisbane for us. progressed, keeping their dreams england progressed, keeping their dreams were given an al and england were given an almighty scare and questions will be asked as to why they couldn't score against a country ranked 36 places below them. in contrast nigeria looked strong right from the start and were the better side throughout this match. in the first half england had a shout for a penalty when it looked as though rachel daly had been pushed out of the box with the four deemed it no penalty for that much to the disgust of the fans for them -- var. in to the disgust of the fans for them —— var. in the second—half drama. striker laurenjames was shown a straight red card and video replays showed that she stamped on nigeria's so she was sent off. england were in real trouble. so she was sent off. england were in realtrouble. but so she was sent off. england were in real trouble. but the defender told the bbc that laurenjames would learn from her mistake. the bbc that lauren james would learn from her mistake. obviously, she's a bit upset. _ learn from her mistake. obviously, she's a bit upset. i _ learn from

who had held fast when the chips were down. i a real team who had held fast when the chips were down.— the chips were down. i think that's what football _ the chips were down. i think that's what

will certainly miss lauren james - will certainly miss lauren james that will certainly miss laurenjames that she will not be able to play in the quarterfinals so that we could actually face a longer suspension if eva deem it worthy. her loss will definitely be felt given she is england's leading scorer of the tournament. the team will now travel back, they are based just outside of sydney where they will have six days of rest. then they will play their quarterfinal match which will be against eitherjamaica or columbia. well as jane was saying... england will learn who their next opponents are tomorrow morning. jamaica are in the women's world cup knockouts for the first time with colombia seeking a first ever victory at this stage. so plenty riding on both sides for this one. colombia earned their spot by topping their group — including a famous win over germany. it's their second time in the last 16 of the women's world cup having also made the first knockout round in 2015. jamaica have perhaps been the surprise so far to come second in their group ahead of brazil, they're yet to concede a goal in the tournament too and their coach wants them approaching the game with a fighting mentality. we are going to come out and try to give it a good shot and try to win the game. somebody will be knocked out. it's like a boxing match, somebody will go down. we are going to try to be the one, we want to be standing when the game is over so we have to give it our best. we are playing a great team, very good team, very good players. it will be a great match. after their early tournament wobbles the co—hosts australia seem back on track, they beat denmark 2—0 earlier in sydney to seal their place in the quarter finals in front of a crowd of more than 75,000, equalling the record set in their opener against ireland. australia reach the last 8 forjust the second time as patrick geary reports. landmark in lights for a landmark night. australia loves a sporting occasion, the rise of women's football has been remarkable. swifter then swift. no guarantee of an encore at this stage of the world cup, especially given denmark's early enterprise, no faster starter then harder but danger came to nothing. the aussies began to settle. follow find time, saw space and release caitlin ford. ford takes it- one - zero _ and release caitlin ford. ford takes it- one - zero for _ and release caitlin ford. ford takes it- one - zero for australia - and release caitlin ford. ford takes it- one - zero for australia and - it— one — zero for australia and wider australia for the by this time they were clearly the better team and eventually they found security for the fowler at the waltzing matilda, the creator, the eventual score of. �* , . . ~ , score of. australia knew they were in the quarterfinals _ score of. australia knew they were in the quarterfinals and _ score of. australia knew they were in the quarterfinals and they've - score of. australia knew they were | in the quarterfinals and they've not yet brought on their start. sam kerr back from injury and off the bench. they have coped without her but they will surely grow with her, once she gets her in. they march onto brisbane on saturday with building. the crowd is massive. there in all tournament and they'll continue to be there. when we are tired i guess it helps you push through that little bit when it gets out. we want to keep doing it, we want to experience it more and more and keep our dream alive. the experience it more and more and keep our dream alive-— our dream alive. the slogan of this australia team _ our dream alive. the slogan of this australia team is _ our dream alive. the slogan of this australia team is they _ our dream alive. the slogan of this australia team is they won't - our dream alive. the slogan of this australia team is they won't stop l australia team is they won't stop until it's done. 0r australia team is they won't stop until it's done. or maybe until it is one. so that win for australia means they'll face the winner of france and morocco who play tomorrow. big hopes then for the home nation, who are hoping to top their best ever run at a women's world cup. shaimaa khalil is in sydney for us. there was just so much joy. when we walked in there were a lot of nerves. this was do or die for the matilda is without we knew that mark wanted to ruin the fun for them. australians came here to have a party and i think the matilda you dares has delivered that for them. the biggest draw, highlight apart from the two goals was the fact that the captain sam kerr, the poster girl for this tournament, the all—time goal—scorer has finally made it onto a pitch to an absolute roar of joy made it onto a pitch to an absolute roar ofjoy from made it onto a pitch to an absolute roar of joy from everyone made it onto a pitch to an absolute roar ofjoy from everyone watching. we were inside the stadium and there was also a big screen showing the crowd that was watching in federation square. that roar ofjoy at every play and every goal scored. you can feel the momentum with this team but also the fact that there is a whole country behind them. denmark definitely playing 11 on the pitch but they were playing against millions of people watching around australia today. i think this is not just home advantage, this is also the fact that the matilda is delivered the goods. i think after watching today, after watching the ease and skill that they played what they are definitely a team to fear in the tournament. the former england captain faye white joins me live now to look back and cast our eyes on what may lie ahead. great to see you. i was convinced that nigeria will going to score in this game. it looked like it was coming what did you make of the manner in which england progress? it manner in which england progress? it was a great game from that nigerians point of view. i think they had a game plan including to be physical to match england if anything surpass the physicality and all positions on the physicality and all positions on the field. they really stopped england from playing. i think they were prepared to always be the underdog put up for me it was when that sending off happen and we went back to the floor at the back and said break us down. it's almost like they hadn't prepared to actually be in a position to where they were expected to win it. i think that played into england's hands and were able to control the game from that moment. they looked almost like it took the wind out of their sales. that can be hard when you play against ten players.— that can be hard when you play against ten players. lauren james, how much of— against ten players. lauren james, how much of a _ against ten players. lauren james, how much of a mess _ against ten players. lauren james, how much of a mess will _ against ten players. lauren james, how much of a mess will she - against ten players. lauren james, how

far. what do you make of her not being in the next match and how do you view that incident as it happened? i that incident as it happened? i think it was a silly thing to do. i think it was a silly thing to do. i think she will regret it straightaway. she will learn from it. she's a young player, she showing how amazing she is in her ability to almost lift the team, be that creative spark. it was born out of frustration because she was so well or lacking. she will be a missed but to see how england have adapted, coped with a loss of a key pla are in walsh in the china game and then with the sending off how they adapted and were able to change they adapted and were able to change the momentum of the game and manage the momentum of the game and manage the game, which is how we say. we learned that tactic very well. it's just another case, yes, she's out but will she back in? i hope she's 0k but will she back in? i hope she's ok after that hard game on the knee. gets time to recover now and we can go again. that's the thing sarina wiegman has shown, its flexible, adaptable and the most impressive thing is when you are not playing well, when you have met your match but still be able to draw out the win and get over the line, that's at the end of the day what we will remember. if they get further into the next round and beyond that get to the final. , the next round and

underestimate any team now. they've shown morocco against france, we got away from that tomorrow to see what happens. even australia with the backing of the host of millions as the report said supporting them, we know what that feels like having done it in our own country last summer. it's exciting and that's what we want, a different name on this trophy.— name on this trophy. yes, we shall

first of the home nations to name their 33 man squad for the tournament in france with scotland planning theirs for next week. some notable omissions for steve borthwick�*s side — who were finallists back in 2019. 0ur rugby union reporter chrisjones has more. behind me the 33 men selected by the england boss for england's final rugby world cup squad, the tournament in france getting under way almost exactly a month of the day on the 8th of september. some big calls to be made, no henry slade, a shock omission and ever present part of the midfield for the last four years. the likes ofjoe marchant have been preferred. note alec starbird and a number eight a bit of the surprises up some used as well, young hooker is named as one of three hookers. arielle also gets his place in the 33. a mix of youth and inexperience, as many as 16 of the players that went to the world cup in 2019 are back four years on. while there are some depth in certain position in others there are pressure on a few individuals, england have three more warm up games before the crunch opener against argentina in marseille on september the 9th. well, england come into the match off what's fair to say a disappointing loss to wales at the weekend. borthwick says the group has been picked with the intention of taking each game as it comes, and he's happy with the squad he's assembled. this group of players that we work with are one of the most competitive people i've ever met. they want to win everything. they want to win everything they go into. we will build through these weeks when we play

greatest place to celebrate should date manage back—to—back victories. wonder if they can do it. wonder if they let's have a quick look at some of the other stories making the headlines today... tottenham have rejected bayern munich's latest offer for striker harry kane. bayern had hoped to agree a deal but it's understood the two sides remain apart in their valuation of the 30 year old. the bundesliga champions had suggested if their bid for kane was unsuccessful on this occasion they would move on to other transfer targets. the manchester 0riginals are at home against birmingham phenoix in the hundred. the womens afternoon session has seen the 0riginals take the first win of the day. in a dramatic finish the home side needing 1 run of 2 balls, kathryn bryce sealed the victory with a four. the mens sides have just got udnerway. britain's dan evans has won the biggest title of his career after beating tallon griekspoor in the washington 0pen. evans, now the world number 21 beat the dutchman 7—5, 6—3. england's netball team are heading home from cape town after their hopes of winning the world cup for the first time were ended by australia. despite their 61—45 defeat in sunday's final, jess thirley�*s team still have plenty to be proud about. the roses beat australia in the pool phase and then knocked out defending champions new zealand in the semi—finals. earlier katharine merry caught up with the england head coach. i feel very lucky, very privileged to help this team along the journey. notjust to help this team along the journey. not just this last to help this team

up to speed with the cycling world championships — the first time combined disciplines feature all together and we have a real mix to look ahead to with bmx medal action ongoing and later more potential medals for britain in the velodrome. nesta mcgregor is the man in the thick of the action in glasgow. let's start off with a bit of a dramatic day on the glasgow green. the weather playing

up at the start of the competition was already delayed because of rain for writers in all, when kieran had his run and did this they put him in the gold medal position. it was high risk of a complex but more importantly it was clean. then just two writers ago go the heavens opened again. it meant that kieran was guaranteed a metal, we just didn't know what colour. as you can imagine nervous rate for him. 0nce imagine nervous rate for him. once the track was safe and dry the two other writers went but they weren't close. in the end confirmation that kieran riley at 22 is the european and world

for a time this week the weather is set to feel a little bit more summer—like than it has of late. is set to feel a little bit more already looking like summer for this weather watcher in hertfordshire. we are going to see some drier and warmer weather developing this week, but perhaps only for a short time. 0n the satellite picture you can see this big swirl of cloud, a potent storm system currently battering parts of northern europe. that's going to get a little bit closer, close enough to strengthen the winds across the far north—east of scotland, particularly shetland. quite windy here over the next few days. then, at the other end of the uk, we've got this zone of cloud and some patchy rain starting to push in across the far south—west of england, the far west of wales. turning quite misty and murky for some coasts and hills and overnight it will push that cloudy, damp and murky weather a little bit further eastwards across southern areas. further north, some clear spells. that strengthening wind in the north—east of scotland. turning really quite chilly again for a good part of scotland down into northern england, whereas further south, with more cloud, with splashes of rain, not as chilly. in fact, turning quite humid as this frontal system rolls its way in into tomorrow. so that's going to bring a zone of cloud, some outbreaks of patchy rain, some mist and murk around some of the coasts and up over the hills. but from northern england into northern ireland and scotland we will get to see some sunshine. scattered showers in the north—east of scotland, where it will be turning increasingly windy. wind gusts of 50mph or more affecting parts of shetland. that wind direction not particularly warm, so just 12 degrees for lerwick. more generally, 17 to 20 degrees. into wednesday, well, increasingly humid air spreading from the south—west. with it quite a lot of cloud, some mist and murk and bits and pieces of rain and drizzle. some sunny spells, as well. the best of the sunshine across a good part of scotland. still windy and chilly in shetland, 12 degrees here, but further south highs of 24. thursday looks warmer still. all of us just about getting into this southerly wind, lifting temperatures into the middle 20 celsius, maybe 27 in parts of south—east england. notice it will always stay that bit chillier in the far north—east of scotland. where we do see that warmth, it probably won't last all that long. a frontal system will push eastwards during friday, turning things cooler and more unsettled again into the weekend. live from london. this is bbc news the first 15 asylum seekers — to be housed on a barge off the south coast of england — have arrived on board. military leaders in niger close the country's
