immediate effect. the change was recommended in the independent commission for equity in cricket report — it said women were paid 25% of men's fees for white—ball and 15% for tests by the ecb. england captain heather knight said the change was "fantastic to see". it's another really good step forward for the game. i think pta have played a huge role in that. forgiveness to this point but that is great, isn't it? its reward i guess from what's been a remarkable summer. talk about the women's game, playing a really big role in the sport. things like the 100 and the women's game on side demands

england's captain, jos butler, says the standard of cricket this summer should make for a great game. t20 series starts today in durham everyone's been playing high—class competitive cricket, which is great. but the 100 i think was a brilliant tournament this year, lots of close game, high quality standard of cricket. everybody�*s bats are hardened but it's brilliant to get here is a team and put on the england shirt again. i'm very excited to play some international cricket. excited to play some international cricket. and that's all the sport for now. around the world and across the uk this is bbc news. we will look at some other stories making the news. the man who is chief executive of the nhs trust where lucy let beat murdered seven babies wrote in a now deleted blog about being persuaded to run a london trust by a senior nhs boss. tony chambers went on to get three senior nhs jobs following the serial killers arrest with nhs said it london was unaware of the murder probe. the property website says the number of houses sold in the uk this year is on track to be the uk this year is on track to be the lowest in more than a decade. around 1 million sales are set to be

employees are appearing for information after an award—winning poet went missing at a music festival. he was last seen at the festival. he was last seen at the festival in northampton share at around four o'clock on saturday morning. the 27—year—old is from south london. your life with bbc news. the flight chaos that has left many british holiday—makers stranded overseas was caused by a single piece of incorrect data that brought down the uk air traffic control system. the head of national air traffic services says the system failure that caused disruption for thousands of passengers was �*incredibly rare' but one airline boss has called it staggering. rishi sunak is urging airlines to honour their obligation shoot passengers to bring them back home. the latest now. back at last. becky and maria with little baby nia should have arrived home from the isle of man on monday. but plans changed. yeah, we waited four hours before we were finally cancelled. lots of people were really anxious about where they were going to stay because unlike us, they had given up hotel space or whatever. it took them 14 hours to change - the app so we could change a flight. and this isn't the end of the journey. now it's a train to bristol to pick up the car before the drive home to south wales. yeah, it wasn't ideal. and the passengers arriving back today on rearranged flights are the lucky ones. thousands are still stuck abroad facing a long wait until the next available flights. easyjet cancelled my flight on the monday and they have booked me to return back on the 8th of september. i am more than 17 weeks pregnant now. i'm really not in a good place or feeling well. i suffer with high blood pressure and my medication has run out. passengers need to keep hold of receipts for any extra spending as airlines are responsible for refunding passengers so they are not out of pocket. you have a right to book yourself into a moderately priced hotel, buy some moderately priced food, and keep the receipts and reclaim those afterwards. but really the airlines should be doing that proactively. airlines are furious they will have to foot the bill for refunds which could run into tens of millions of pounds. the only reassurance from the boss of air traffic control is that it is unlikely to ever happen again. we are confident that these are rare events. this one cannot happen again. and we are absolutely confident, and everyone should be confident, that whatever happens we will always keep aircraft safe. for those still caught up in this holiday nightmare, those words will not provide any comfort. let's bring you breaking news. reports say that the mother of luis ruby alice the president of the football federation has been taken to hospital on the third day of her hunger
