hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm hugh ferris. the headlines this evening. 33 has become 26 — harry maguire and jack grealish among those who miss out on england's squad for euro 202a. in the end it wasn't as close as some of the decisions it helps to give. var will stay in the premier league, whose clubs vote overwhelmingly to back it. another step towards three in a row. iga swiatek makes the final of the french open, where she'll playjasmine paolini. also coming up on sportsday... britain's best weightlifter will be team gb's only weightlifter in paris, but emily campbell wants another olympic medal. and — we hearfrom the england rugby player who claims her career wouldn't have been the same without breast reduction surgery. losing two kilograms off of your chest does make a difference, i have to say. my first round after surgery six weeks after i felt like a new person. and then there were 26. gareth southgate had until the end of tomorrow to name his final squad for the european championship. but ahead of that deadline and their warm up match against iceland, the list is now complete. seven players have been trimmed from his original 33. they are harry maguire, jack grealish, and james maddison. while there are some young players who also won't be making the trip to germany. curtis jones, jarrell quansah, jarrad branthwaite, and james trafford. albeit for different reasons — it's maguire and grealish who are the headline omissions. harry has made some progress, but it has been complicated and we definitely would not have had him in the group stages and there were too many hurdles to get through without really being clear on where we make it to. given that we have not got a clean bill of health across the rest of the backline as well, then that became, we need to cover in players who are fit and ready to go from the start. so another really difficult call. you know how i feel about harry maguire and what he has done for england and what he has done for me as a manager. of course, they give us something different as well. so there have been tough calls. because we have gone over and over as a staff. the fact is we have got some players who have been playing extremely well all season in the league and we feel other players have had stronger seasons, particularly in the last six months or so. joe wilson is with gareth southgate and the england squad today and has just been listening to what the manager's had to say. james maddison and jack grealish being left out hints at where england are strongest. i think that is right. it is an interesting atmosphere around here interesting atmosphere around here in the manicured lawns on the top of hospers lawn. sockets as he is excited and thinks the euros are in open tournament but a air of regret socket saying it was one of the hardest day of the job saying to madison and grealish they are not on the team. declan rice was speaking saying how sad it was after saying goodbye to of his best mates on the team. when southgate says there are better players in those positions, i guess you can see what he means. it just so happens that right now in those kind of, i will call it attacking midfield areas, and clint just have a surplus of talent that they don't have in other parts of they don't have in other parts of the squad —— england. grealish not getting on the man said he first in not that often and madison coming back from injury. there are young exciting players. my final thought is if you watching and thinking of going to euros to sit on the bench, may be retained a sense of excitement even at that prospect. you mention the parts of the team they're not quite as strong we have just been discussing. that is where harry maguire plays, the defence has perhaps those issues, but his omission is not because of the quality of those players around him. absolutely. gareth southgate has made it absolutely clear that harry maguire would be in the squad, absolutely if you were fit. he does not really have that perspective for some manchester united fans that would have thought the season. the one piece of good news in that defensive area is that luke shaw is fit to an extent, but gareth southgate has said that he may be ready to play for england's second group game. so southgate admits that it's a gamble with the selection of luke shaw but he says it is the one gamble in the squad. we should mention before he finished about adam morton, just 20 playing half a season for crystal palace and finds himself in the squad. declan rice talking about his technical ability even as a holding midfielder to pass the ball off left and right foot. 0n the ball off left and right foot. 0n the technique he gifted player. a final thought, the technique he gifted player. a finalthought, in the technique he gifted player. a final thought, in the past we have perhaps had a lot of criticism or comments about socket being conservative with selections. i think this time he has been pretty brave. —— about selection. as england take players away, scotland are adding them. injuries up front have led to a call up for tommy conway. and today, lewis morgan as steve clarke talked this afternoon about getting his team in shape for the opening game of euro 2024 against hosts germany. theirfinal warm up match is also tomorrow night against finland, as shelagh mclaren

are tomorrow — wales are playing gibraltar right now in portugal. it's a very young and inexperienced wales team and so far they have shown plenty of endeavour but have yet to trouble the scorers. the closest they came to a goal was in the 58th minute when bolton wanderers�* josh sheehan struck the post directly from a corner with the goalkeeper beaten. rob page has brought on some more experience in the shape of brennanjohnson and kieffer moore but it remains goalless. the var debate will rage on, but for now it's staying in the premier league. clubs voted overwhelmingly to keep football's video review system in place after wolves asked them to scrap it after a number of calls last season increased the scrutiny var was facing. the league though has promised improvements for, they say, the benefit of the game and supporters. i think wolves have been on the wrong end of a couple of decisions this season and obviously feel there needs to be improvements. premier league will know this and will work urgently to advance the technology and to the process so that clubs will have something they see the benefit in and will want to continue. that is the reality. as in all leagues around the world there have been tv cover and premier league is no different from that. well our sports editor dan roan was at the premier league agm today in harrogate and explains how the vote unfolded. wolves suffered an overwhelming landslide defeat of 19—1 here at the luxury hoteljust outside harrogate with a premier league had their annual general meeting today and held a vote. a vote that was brought last month when they proposed that var be scrapped, abolished after five years of use in the premier league after a season of mounting criticism and scrutiny. some very notable errors, they felt they were on the rough and on some contentious var decisions as well. there have been some suspicion that the vote may not happen and certainly it was never expected that wolves would get the required ia votes that would have seen that motion passed. nonetheless, it has deftly sparked a debate. following that 19—12 feet they said, while disappointed, they welcomed the fat that the debate has happened in that the other clubs had committed to certain improvements —— welcomed the fact. premier league said in a statement that they acknowledged improvements were neededin acknowledged improvements were needed in the interest of the game and for fans to be protected. needed in the interest of the game and forfans to be protected. six key areas have been identified for improvements including for example, trying to speed up decisions through semiautomated offside to technology do to be brought in next season. better communication and transparency by having announcements by referees where they explain decisions to fans and the stadium. maintaining what is described as a high threshold for var intervention. also what was described as more robust training for var officials. whether or not that is enough to convince wolves and long term and also many fans who have grave misgivings about this technology remains to be seen and interestingly the football of supporters association issued a statement saying enormous changes were not required and they said that two thirds of the fans that they had surveyed had lost faith in var the dates of the vote today, for now, it is here to stay. iga swiatek�*s dominance at the french open continues and most would think it likely it does on saturday as well. the world number one reached the final at roland garros as she attempts to win three titles in a row. and the woman standing in her way has reached her first of any grand slam. joe lynskey reports. can anyone beat her on this court? for the _ can anyone

perfection. she is now 120 straight matches. coco gauff was next to try. she is soon to be the world number two but to the state hop there is still distance. swiatek already has four grand slam titles

swiatek was brutal. she came through in straight sets to reach a fourth french open final. the new queen of clay right now finds a way. so, her next opponents will need something extraordinary. forjazzmen paolini it is a breakthrough just to be there. at the start of the year she had not reached a grand slam third round but now this italian is one win from a dream. she faced 17—year—old but this was a semifinal power when he got there in a hurry. at 20 into her majorfirst power when he got there in a hurry. at 20 into her major first final, straight sets and mastery to work. the sport's biggest challenge awaits her on saturday. britain's neal skupski felljust short of his first french open title, losing the mixed doubles final with partner desirae krawczyk. the pair have won the event at wimbledon twice, but were beaten by germany's laura siegemund and edouard roger—vasselin who was a popular winner for the home crowd in paris. alfie hewett also lost in the semi finals of the wheelchair singles. you're watching sportsday. let's have a quick look at some of the other stories making the headlines today. we'll start in paris and novak djokovic aims to return "as soon as possible" after surgery there on a knee injury which forced the 2a—time grand slam champion to withdraw from the french open. he said the operation �*went well�*, but recovery is likely to take at least three weeks, casting doubt over his fitness for wimbledon. pakistan are playing their first group match at the t20 cricket world cup, against the usa. stephen taylor�*s great catch in the second over set the tone for a good performance from the usa, as they restricted pakistan to 159 for 7 in dallas. david gray has agreed to become hibernian manager on a permanent basis after ending the season in caretaker charge. the scottish cup—winning former captain of the side says he knows "what a successful hibs team looks like" after being appointed on a three—year deal. world champion lotte

fourth. we�*ll stay with cycling and world time trial champion remco evenepoel says �*his helmet saved him�* after getting caught in a crash at the criterium du dauphine that involved over 30 riders. the key warm—up race for the tour de france was stopped after the pile—up on stage 5. race leader evenepoel and fellow tour contender primoz roglic were among those involved. so many needed treatment that the race couldn�*t resume — the peloton rode to the finish together and no times were taken. the british weightlifting team at paris 202a will only have one member, but if the last olympics are anything to go buy, she�*ll be worth watching. emily campbell made history in tokyo — her silver the first olympic medal won by a british woman in weightlifting and is now hoping to add to it this summer with memories of her breakthrough flooding back after her place was confirmed today. it's it�*s a real honour to be named to a second 0lympics it�*s a real honour to be named to a second olympics and obviously all memories of tokyo were really positive. we went in unprecedented times he came out with some amazing memories and hopefully we teared up the nation a bit with our performances. so it is really exciting times. 0nce performances. so it is really exciting times. once you get a taste of winning you kind of want to keep doing it you want to keep bringing back the playing and standing on the roster as the gv flag flies high so i had to keep up on performance and train even harder in the work going into paris this time has been a lot, but we are really excited. meeting the team are confident going into these schemes. its, the team are confident going into these schemes.— the team are confident going into these schemes. a lot of differences in the

he may come up against? it�*s he may come up against? it's actually been _ he may come up against? it�*s actually been quite painless for me, to be fair. even though the numbers changed on my

it is been more exciting and made us work harder to achieve what we want to achieve. if us work harder to achieve what we want to achieve.— us work harder to achieve what we want to achieve. if you

weightlifting, girls and boys. we want everyone to be involved and hopefully we can have some more 0lympics which would be fantastic. we have to wait until the last day until the entire 0lympics we

breast reduction surgery at the beginning of her career has helped to enhance it since. six years ago at the age of 20 the saracens lock decided to go under the knife. it was a significant decision for such a young athlete but one she says made her international career possible. losing two kilograms off your chest does make a difference, i have to say. i have 26 nations grand slam titles, a world cup finalist and my aim is to be part of the world cup 2025 squat in england next year. six years ago i had a breast reduction. 0ne years ago i had a breast reduction. one of the main reasons why i had a breast reduction is simply because of the back ache and neck ache i was getting. i was pairing for exams and that feeling of being at a desk looking over your paper and actually just feeling really uncomfortable is never a nice feeling. so for me, that was one of the biggest things. but also in terms of sport, i was playing hockey, netball and cricket and having to wear to sports bras and having to wear to sports bras and ifelt and having to wear to sports bras and i felt really uncomfortable. i think the main reason was for my sporting career. just that feeling of being uncomfortable in your own bodyis of being uncomfortable in your own body is never nice and it was really fortunate that i was in a position where i could speak openly with my parents about it. my mum had a breast reduction when she was younger and for her she knew exactly the feeling that i felt. losing two kilograms off your chest does make a difference, have to say. my first run after surgery six weeks later with my mum i genuinely felt like i was a new person. not only did i feel like i could stand taller, i also felt as light as ever and i deftly don�*t feel that now. i think i am new use to my new weight but it deftly has made a difference. if i did not have my breast reduction generally don�*t think i would be where i am today. i think both on a confidence level and a physical level i think it would have cost me issues further down the line. it is hard to say because i think i am a motivated person so i think if i put my mind to something i will achieve it so i potentially could be here but for me it has definitely made a massive difference. i think it is important now that we are seen as role models to young girls into other adults as well. i think it is really important to share where you have come from and what you�*re doing. if i could come and play for my country and play to the highest level and my breastjourney in all my other stories help me get there why but i�*m not sure that to help other people. they could be like me one day. it wasn�*t until 2016 that britain had a ufc world champion. after michael bisping there was another seven year wait for another in the mixed martial arts organisation. but then, in the space of 15 months, two more. the success of welterweight champion leon edwards... and tom aspinall who�*s the interim heavyweight champion, hint at a growing british influence in the ufc which will host its next event in manchester when both fighters are on the card. but before the punching, there�*s some promotion, too. so they popped into to the studio. it's it�*s going to be a special event for every uk fighter involved. this is a massive event for everyone. especially being paper view because we don�*t get it to munch. we had in a couple of years ago in london. it's a couple of years ago in london. it�*s a big deal. every time the uk comes sorry that ufc comes to the uk it is a massive deal but a paper view in

here they all are. they start on the 16th ofjune against serbia. that�*s it for the programme, thank you for watching and goodbye for now. hello, thanks forjoining me. it�*s been a day of sunshine and showers, with the most frequent showers across scotland today. how about tomorrow? more of the same. a keen north—westerly breeze, sunny spells and, once again, scattered showers. and in fact, over the last few days, the weather has been generally coming in from the northern climes. if you look at the satellite picture, you can see the motion of the cloud all streaming in from the north—west, iceland and the norwegian sea. so, more of the same — through tonight as well. if anything, these showers will become more frequent across the north—west of scotland through the small hours of friday morning. but elsewhere, generally clear and really quite chilly in towns and cities. temperatures early on friday morning will be around 7 degrees, but outside of town, in the countryside, it could be as low as 3 or a. so, definitely a nip in the air first thing on friday. but a lot of sunshine from the word go, i think, across england and wales. not the case in northern ireland and western scotland. a weather front moving through, bringing a period of rain, a couple of hours of some steady rain, but that should eventually clear after the rush hour to sunshine and showers. could end up being quite cloudy around the lake district, northern england, through much of yorkshire, quite thick cloud. but come the afternoon, i think for most of us, it�*s a case of sunny spells. frequent showers in scotland, though. less frequent in the south. and the temperatures struggling — ii in stornoway, no higher than around 17 expected in cardiff. here�*s the weather map for saturday. the low pressure still with us. and on its western edge, the wind continues to stream in from the northern climes. it�*s quite chilly air — in fact, cold enough for a little bit of wintriness across the scottish mountains, and gusty winds around these northern and western coasts. showers again will be most frequent in scotland on saturday, but northern ireland, wales and england should have a generally dry and mostly sunny day, just scattered fairweather cumulus clouds. temperatures again about 12 in aberdeen, struggling here, 15 in belfast, no higher than around 17 in birmingham. is it going to be warming up over the next few days? no, it�*s not. the air will keep on streaming in from the north, so temperatures will remain below the average for the time of the year, but it will be often dry with fleeting showers. that�*s it for me. bye— bye. live from london, this is bbc news. world leaders gather in normandy to mark the 80th anniversary of d—day, including us presidentjoe
