seen a drop of rainfall this month but that is in sharp contrast to what has been happening in scotland where in aberdeenshire we had well over a month of rain. hundred and 20% of average rainfall and we are only a third of the way through the month so far. today we had big contrasts, 25 degrees in warm sunshine for london butjust 13 degrees in lerwick and shetland and the reason it is cooler here because we've seen a cold front moved through and over the next few days the cold air is going to push its way south across the uk and i say colder but for many of us those temperatures will be returning close to average for the time of year. here is the cold front, clearing south so dry in scotland where we've seen flooding the concerns and the rain eventually ending the night moving across northern ireland and ending up in northern england and north wales. mild for england and wales but a colder night for the north of the uk. into tomorrow's forecast we have heavy rain to come, particularly across the hills of mid wales. dam for the midlands and parts of east anglia and across the south, still warm with sunshine, sunshine and showers for the far north of the uk and we have the big temperature contrast either side of the weather fronts. temperatures temperature contrast either side of the weatherfronts. temperatures in the weatherfronts. temperatures in the low 20s in the south but across the low 20s in the south but across the north of the temperatures drop away. heading through wednesday into thursday, the weather front is still across parts of england and wales and a weak feature with patches of rain but the cooler air will sink its way everfurther rain but the cooler air will sink its way ever further south, so temperatures 30 in london —— 13 in london, smack bang average for the time of year. heavy rain to come to england and wales on friday and into cooler air as we start the weekend and across scotland in northern areas there will be plenty of showers, and some of them over the high scottish mountains will start to turn to snow, sign autumn has arrived. thanks, chris. and that's bbc news at six. join us again at ten with clive and jeremy hello and welcome to sportsday. i'm gavin ramjaun. uefa confirm the uk and ireland will host the 2028 euros, with a new stadium in prospect for northern ireland. england bounce back, as dawid malan stars with the bat, in their victory over bangladesh. a new era for netball — the super league announces plans to become more professional in england to compete with the best. hello and welcome along to sportsday. football's european championship will be hosted in the uk and ireland in five years' time. it's after uefa officially confirmed the news today. the 2028 bid was unopposed following turkey's withdrawal. in england, wembley�*s due to host the final, a major test for the 90,000—capacity venue after the chaos of fans storming the stadium ahead of the euro 2020 showpiece game. also matches at the tottenham hotspur stadium, stjames' park, the city of manchester stadium, villa park and everton stadium. matches will be held at ten different grounds. it's understood that cardiff's national stadium of wales will hold the opening match. hampden park in glasgow, which hosted at euro 2020, will feature. dublin arena is part of the plan too, as well as casement park in belfast, which at present is unbuilt, but to be turned into a near 35,000 capacity stadium. let's get some more now with our sports editor dan roan, who's in switzerland for us, where the bid was confirmed. dan, this will be quite a significant moment for belfast, given the history of casement park. absolutely. very significant indeed for northern irish football, because this will be the first time that the country has hosted a major meant�*s football tournament, as it would be for the republic of ireland and wales. you are right, if there is any pressure orjeopardy in this uk and ireland bed, it focuses on casement park, because it is dilapidated. it has been empty for ten years now, since it shut in 2013. the idea was it would be redeveloped, but a whole series of issues have delayed that, planning controversy, legal battles, objections from local residents. in the meantime, because of spiral. there is a bit of uncertainty about who will pay for it, but the uk government has given assurances that the funding will be met. what is so intriguing about casement park is that it has been a traditional home of gaelic games in the predominantly catholic nationalist west belfast. 0f catholic nationalist west belfast. of course, the northern ireland football team places football at winter park in a predominantly loyalist area of the city, so there are many who believe this is a powerful potential to be a unifying force for northern ireland and give a very positive message, if the redevelopment cannot happen. here is the view from belfast today. in the early 19705 — the view

italy in the final. there was a review that was conducted in the aftermath of that disorder, where many fans stormed into wembley without tickets. there was lots of criticism about the way it was handled, the security arrangements. there was a narrow escape for the authorities on that occasion in terms of potential injuries. there will be a lot of scrutiny on security arrangements. i spoke to the fa chair here in the minutes after the announcement today and she said they have learnt lessons and there will be no repeat and they want to now restore a reputation for venues and events that pass off peacefully. apart from that, there are still some issue around everton's new stadium. it is yet to be complete. that along with casement park and wembley, that is where there will be focused. the people are very excited about the prospect of what will be the biggest sports event to be hosted in the british isles since london 2012. it was back in 1996, 27 years ago, when the uk last hosted

with victory over bangladesh today. it was a superb showing from dawid malan with the bat, reaching his century in style. withjoe root becoming england's leading run—scorer in world cup too. england

looking total of 344 from their 50 overs thanks to centuries from kusal mendis and sadeera samarawickrama. in response, pakistan lost a couple of early wickets before centuries from abdullah shafique and mohammed rizwan saw them home by six wickets with ten balls to spare. it's also the first ever world cup match where four different players have made centuries. manchester united make their debut in the women's champions league later this evening. they're in second round action against paris saint—germain, with the winner over two legs going into the group stages of the tournament. the

arsenal going out. playing on this front to have a full spa, roma, real madrid. i expect we will see some more big names go out. to another huge event in 2028 now — the olympic games in los angeles, which could see cricket make a comeback after more than a century away. the shorter form t20 version of the sport is being recommended and could get approval at a vote next week. 0ur sports news correspondent alex capstick has been following the story and joins me now. cricket has been trying for some years to extend its footprint across the world. it was originally blocked by the cricketing authorities in india. that is chained because they can see the benefits of having the game and the olympics and the new audiences that would bring. it is also very important for the ioc, they are right behind this and i would be surprised if it didn't get through because they wanted bigger share of the south asian market and they think cricket will do that. it could be a big financial windfall. it is estimated that the amount that india pays to broadcast the olympic stance at 20 million, that would rise to 200 million if cricket was included. if it was a big success in la, it would help kick cricket into the american market, that's what they want. let's hear from jimmy anderson. . ., they want. let's hear from jimmy anderson-— they want. let's hear from jimmy anderson. . ., .,

germany in the regular season. if they could get flag football in los angeles that would be a big thing. lacrosse, five times it is featured in the olympics, three of them as demonstration sports. that is indigenous the usa. it has been described as the fastest growing sport across america and it is huge in colleges across the usa. squash has been banging on the door of the ioc. i think all five sports will be backed by the executive board, they will then go to a vote of the ioc. what we don't know yet is if all these five sports are admitted, and four of them are team sports, what does that mean about keeping participation under the cap of 10,500. you would think other sports would have to trim, reduce their numbers of athletes. it begs their numbers of athletes. it begs the question about the future of modern pet pattern and weightlifting, both of them left of the initial programme because of various issues into sports. there will be about on whether they will be included in los angeles, but maybe that is one way of reducing those numbers. let's have a quick look at some of the other stories making the headlines today: former chelsea winger eden hazard has announced his retirement from football at the age of 32 after leaving real madrid at the end of last season. hazard joined realfrom the blues in 2019 for £89 million but played just 54 league games for the spanish giants. nba's current most valuable player, joel embiid, has chosen to play for team usa over cameroon and france at next year's olympic games. the philadelphia 76er centre was born in cameroon but has american and french citizenship. ronnie o'sullivan is safely through to the third round of the wuhan open. the world number one beat fellow englishman mark davis by five frames to one. elsewhere, there were several shocks, with mark selby, neil robertson and john higgins all crashing out. england netball have announced plans to relaunch the domestic super league from next season. it's part of plans to make the division professional. at present, teams are largely operating on a part—time basis. existing clubs and other interested parties can show their interest and teams are set to be confirmed by early next year. former england player ama agbeze says it is a step in the right direction. netball is such a fast paced, dynamic and exciting sport, so i think repackaging it in making it more professional would be great. to engage current net of fans as cities, but to excite and draw modern frame —— audience. in terms of participation, it can only help performance that competition elements, to make it that bit more exciting and to challenge you to be the best that you can be. abs, exciting and to challenge you to be the best that you can be. b. 11th

medal, and your domestic competition is the pathway and the grounding where people can hone their knowledge and talent to be able to perform at international level. by embedding this incredible super league competition, if that is what it is to be called, in the uk, you can only improve the performances of the roses internationally. only improve the performances of the roses internationally. finally, we've just seen max verstappen crowned formula one world champion for the third time. one of the trailblazers for f1 in the uk back in the �*90s was nigel mansell. the former williams and ferrari driver won the title just over 30 years ago and the british driver is now auctioning some of the memorabilia which made him a household name. he's been talking tojohn watson. nigel, you were the face of the sport for many. and can i say, you haven't changed a bit? well, look, i'm ready for the race this afternoon, but i haven't had a call yet. i think max should take a few weeks off. he's done a fantasticjob. over 300 items going up for auction, from racing helmets to caps, to suits to trophies. why now? why are you selling these items? that's a brilliant question in some ways, and difficult to answer in others. itjust came to me, my whole life i've had this incredible — and it is incredible — relationship with the sporting fans throughout the world. and i thought, what better for the legacy to live on? because that's the important thing, is that if someone can buy something and treasure it, my legacy will live on through the fans. and, eh... ..don't get emotional either, that's fantastic. so let's talk through some of the items. this was your british grand prix winner's trophy from that 1992 championship winning season. and when you won this, nigel, i think at the time, you were the most successful british driver of all time at this point? it was a bit of history in the making because sir jackie stewart is just an incredible person. and i mean, the standards he set was amazing. soto equal his 27 wins, and then surpass it with 28, was a little bit of history. and here as well, we've got one of your racing suits when you were driving with ferrari. that must have been amazing, to wear the red of ferrari? the tifosi in italy, i mean the fans around the world, the japanese fans, the british fans, but the italian fans are very dear to our heart, and, yeah, to be nicknamed il leone, the lionheart, by them was something incredibly special. and what's this one? 1992, yeah. and that was your championship winning season? i think so, yeah. does it still smell of petrol? yeah, wonderful! has it been washed, nigel? probably not! but am i right in saying you'd have to take this home and wash it yourself? not like drivers today, who could get a different suit every race, every qualifying, you would have this for the whole season. well, the problem is when you're superstitious, which i was, i couldn't let anyone do anything unless we did it ourselves. for instance, if you picked my helmet up before the race and you made a mistake of putting it on, you'd be lucky to get out of the garage alive. but i could never touch that again. really? i wouldn't use it. why? superstitious. look how small it is! how did you even see out of that thing? it's to keep focused. so it helps you to actually see less? you don't have any distraction. and of course, you won the world championship in 1992. and then amazingly, at the end of the season, you said you were going to retire. he announced his decision before today's italian grand prix, after being unable to agree terms to drive for the williams team next year. for the vast majority of ordinary . fans, the sight of nigel mansell... that's not strictly true. and the fantastic thing is it looks like we might be doing a movie shortly. wow. and a lot of the truth will come out as to what happened then. so, watch this space. and it's very timely, i guess, speaking to you, as well, because max verstappen has just won his third world title. i know. is formula one the same sport now as it was when you were racing? no, of course it's not. but in a lot of ways it's a lot better. when we were racing, late �*70s, all through the �*80s, early �*90s, it was so dangerous. if you had a career of 186 grands prix and you were still alive and you hadn't hurt yourself, that was a miracle. and now you've got people doing over 300 grands prix because of the safety standards. they've almost made formula one bulletproof for the drivers, which is just incredible. can i pop this one on? please do. from silverstone back in 1992. and i tell you what, i think everyone's going to be delighted to see that the moustache is still here. the tache hasn't gone. you're not auctioning that off, nigel? not quite yet. thank you very much. and the tache will stay here. great to speak to you, nigel. thanks very much. a reminder of our top story. the uk and ireland have been confirmed as host for the euro championship in 2028. wembley is set to host the final, with the welsh national stadium hosting the opener. more details on that on the bbc website. more details on that on the bbc website. that's all from sportsday. hello. for the fourth consecutive day temperatures climbed above 25 celsius — the highest values in parts of eastern and south—eastern england. but it wasn't like that everywhere. further north and west, we had cloud. we had outbreaks of rain across parts of scotland, a bit of rain for northern ireland and northern england too. you can see a couple of different weather features here on our earlier satellite picture. it's this one that becomes the main weather—maker as it pushes southwards overnight — a band of rain, that rain actually pepping up again from the west. but to the south of it, we stay in the warm air. so overnight lows of 14, 15, 16 degrees. to the north of our weather front, well, some parts of the highlands will get quite close to freezing. as we head into tomorrow this weather front continues to act as a dividing line, bringing some outbreaks of quite heavy rain across some central parts of the uk. that rain moving out of northern england into wales, the midlands, parts of east anglia through the afternoon. to the north of that, sunny spells and scattered showers, quite a brisk wind. in fact, gales in the far north of scotland. to the south of our weather front, some sunny spells, just the odd shower and another warm day, temperatures again into the 20s, whereas further north it is going to feel quite a lot colder, although only really
