million times and i will continues ehinger, the mentality of the script i've never seen before, think they come from serene as well only believed ballouchy gives us within ourselves but also she gives

still keen to see these developments continue. natalie pirks joined supporters as the lionesses set about making dreams become a reality. they say patience is a virtue. england fans have been a model of resolve. decades of deep breaths, of shoulda, woulda, coulda, but now, at the third time of asking, the final beckons. i feel like they are role models for so many young girls across the country. i feel like it's a really big achievement for the whole of the football community. we love you, ella, we do! 0h, ella, we love you! ella toone has proved herself to be the player for the big occasion. for her family watching in manchester, herfirst—half goal gave england lift—off. commentator: ella toone! tooney! and from those just starting their footballing journey... england! ..to those who have been on an emotional roller—coaster with england, the final whistle was time for reflection. well, it's an historic moment already and obviously we are all so proud of what the lionesses have achieved so far. but i think it willjust continue that, it will continue to inspire young people, boys and girls up and down the country and hopefully boost further investment. england, european champions! since last summer, the trajectory of women's football has rocketed. fa figures show an explosion of under—16 girls in particular playing the game and audiences in the women's super league have tripled last season. yeah, it's incredible, that's why we do what we do. especially to get as many young people inspired by football. we are just out here doing what we love and we just want as many people to do what they love too. but the playing field is still far from level. the lionesses came into this tournament embroiled in an unresolved dispute over bonuses with the fa. nike refused to manufacture mary earps's shirt — something she described as hugely hurtful. and we only knew who would be broadcasting the games six weeks before the first match — something that damaged players' full earning potential. sunday's world cup final is a moment, it's a moment and everyone will then be trying to get on board but they have to get on board long—term. there are certain sponsors that have been involved in the game for many years and will now be reaping rewards and i think there will be lots of sponsors and lots of brands that are sitting there thinking, we left it too late. england didn't leave it late. even on a midweek morning, millions watched as they left the green and gold of australia feeling blue. and england are heading for the world cup final! more will surely tune in on sunday for the lionesses' great leap into the unknown. natalie pirks, bbc news. england's opponents will be spain and their squad have arrived in sydney after their dramatic 2—1 semifinal victory over sweden in new zealand on tuesday. preparations now beginning for theirfirst ever world cup final. colombia, who england knocked out in the quarter—finals, have received a homecoming to remember. unfancied going into the tournament, colombia, ranked 21 places lower than england, surprised everyone in australia, seeing off euro 2022 finalists germany in the group stages and progressing in style as they reached the last eight at a world cup for the very first time. champions league winners manchester city have added another trophy to their cabinet after beating sevilla on penalties in the uefa super cup after it finished i—i at the end of 90 minutes. europa league winners sevilla took the lead through youssef en—nesyri's header before cole palmer scored the equaliserjust after the hour mark. the spanish side then missed their fifth penalty after city had converted all theirs and it meant they claimed this trophy for the first time in their history, with pep guardiola winning it for a third time, adding to his triumphs with barcelona and bayern munich. we are we a re really we are really pleased to have already one title in this season. really pleased for the club that this title we didn't haveit club that this title we didn't have it and now have it. we finished just one for this club to win all the titles we can have and it happened in december when we went to saudi arabia to play there, the world cup. i will say we are really, really pleased. manchester united say they are working "through the final stages" of their internal investigation into the allegations made against mason greenwood having completed what they describe as the "fact—finding phase". charges against the 21—year—old — including attempted rape and assault — were dropped by the crown prosecution service at the beginning of february this year. he hasn't played for the club since january 2022. in a statement released today, the club said the "welfare and perspective" of the alleged victim has been central to their inquiries. they added they also have responsibilities to greenwood as a club employee. some transfer news now because tottenham and lazio are in talks about the potential sale of goalkeeper hugo lloris. the former club captain's future has been under much scrutiny after he expressed a desire to leave earlier this summer. he was left out of the club's pre season tours and the 2—2 draw against brentford which opened spurs' premier league campaign last weekend. lloris still has one year left on his contract so tottenham would be entitled to a transfer fee. seven time grand slam singles champion venus williams has been handed a wild card to the us open later this month. the 43—year—old willjoin caroline wozniacki in the main draw at flushing meadows in new york after the danish former world number one was also among those awarded an entry. williams was beaten in her second round match at the cincinnati open despite having won the first set against china's zheng qinwen. and zheng will now face world number one iga swiatek in the last 16 after the pole crushed american danielle collins winning 6—1, 6—0 over last year's australian open runner up injust 59 minutes. what was supposed to be an amicable joint practice session ahead of the new nfl season turned sour between the baltimore ravens and the washington commanders. ravens wide receiver tylan wallace took a pass while under pressure from cornerback emmanuel forbes, who continued to try and retrieve the ball despite wallace coming to a halt. it sparked a 30—man brawl with body slams and punches thrown, not quite what the coaches had in mind as they prepare for the new campaign. you can get all the latest sports news at from the bbc sport app orfrom our website — that's bbc.co.uk/sport. from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye. hello. we've seen a change in the weather over the last couple of days, a change to something drier, brighter and warmer. and we're going to stick with warm and indeed quite humid conditions over the next couple of days. but on friday, it will turn windy, and some heavy thundery rain will arrive. thursday, though, is going to be quite a quiet day of weather. there'll be some areas of low cloud and mist first thing, tending to lift and clear, and then actually some lengthy spells of sunshine with just the small chance of catching a shower. a bit more of a breeze, though, and with that breeze coming from the east, where you're exposed to it along north sea coasts, temperatures may only get to between 17—20 celsius, but with some shelter from the breeze, parts of western scotland, the north coast of northern ireland up to 22—23 celsius, maybe 26 celsius for the west coast of wales and 27 celsius for parts of central southern england. now as we head through thursday night, we will see again some areas of low cloud developing. the winds will start to pick up across western parts, and we will see a few showers and thunderstorms just starting to break out. temperatures 12—16 celsius. as we get into friday, it is going to turn really quite windy around western coasts as this frontal system starts to squeeze its way in. the white line squashing together, that shows that we will have some quite strong winds. in fact, gusts potentially of 50 to possibly 60mph in exposed parts of northwest wales. one band of heavy thundery rain pushing north eastwards, then a dryer gap, and then some more general heavy rain getting into the southwest later in the day. depending on how quickly the rain arrives, it could again be very warm indeed, and it will certainly be very humid. now, friday night looks really wet as this frontal system drives its way northwards and eastwards, some heavy and thundery bursts of rain. close to the centre of this area of low pressure on saturday, we will also see some showers, particularly across northern ireland, western scotland, maybe some for western fringes of england and wales. further south and east, not as many showers. in fact, it should be largely dry, and, again, quite warm. temperatures up to around 25 celsius in the southeast corner, but 21 celsius for glasgow, 22 celsius in belfast. still mostly dry and fairly warm on sunday, just a few showers around. and then into the start of next week, towards the south of the uk, temperatures could climb a little further. live from washington. this is bbc news. ukraine's new black sea humanitarian corridor is tested as russia responds with attacks on the country's grain depots. a us

hello, i'm caitriona perry. you're very welcome. we begin in ukraine, where the country's newly announced humanitarian corridor, allowing ships to pass through the black sea, is being put to the test for the first time. a hong kong—flagged merchant ship, carrying more than 30 thousand tons of cargo and food, successfully set sail on wedneday. the ship was just one of an estimated 60 commercial vessels trapped in ukrainian ports since the start of the war. this new corridor is meant to help free those ships. ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky called the ship's movements a, quote, "important step", even as kyiv reported a russian air strike damaged a grain storage facility in reni. our ukraine correspondent james waterhouse has the latest from kyiv. there are also interesting
