you're very welcome along to sportsday. let's start with the latest development in the ongoing saga in spanish football. world cup winning coach jorge vilda has been sacked by the country's football federation. it comes amid the scandal involving federation president luis rubiales, who was widely criticised for his behaviour after the final. vilda was a key supporter of rubiales, and his own coaching methods were also reported to have been a key factor in 15 players refusing to play for the national side last year. montse tome now becomes the first woman to be appointed as coach for the national team and will take charge of their upcoming games against sweden and switzerland. she had been part of vilda's coaching staff, most of whom resigned along with 81 players who have refused to play for spain until rubiales resigns.

spanish football journalist bea redondo believes vilda's sacking was inevitable. following the events that happened after the world cup. he was one of those that were signalled as supporting this action, but also kind of have been playing an active role in trying to contain jenni hermosa from speaking up, also trying to kind of force herfamily into kind of conditioning her, so in a sense, he is notjust a coach that has won a world cup. he has also played an active role in this kind of misogynist culture within the federation that the players are now speaking up about. jordan henderson says he was "really hurt" after being criticised forjoining the suadi pro league this summer. the england midfielder, who is in camp with the national team ahead of their euro 2024 qualifiers, moved from liverpool to al ettifaq and has now given his first interview to the athletic. he has been a vocal suppporter

of the lgbtq+ community — same—sex activity is illegal in saudi arabia. in the interview he says... a week today scotland play england in a friendly at hampden park. before that, they face cyprus in their euro qualifer in larnaca. preparations are already under way for friday's game, with scotland hoping to continue their perfect start. they could even secure qualification if results go their way, they sit top of group a after four consecutive wins.

in all of my years working with football teams, this is the most focus group i have worked with which is a really good thing, and it is a matter of honour for those guys because i have worked with some good teams and players but these guys are right on it. wales have a friendly against south korea to contend with in cardiff tomorrow, before an away euro qualifier against latvia on monday. the welsh have won only one of their past 12 games, leaving them struggling in fourth in group d. we've got to go into each game now with the mentality that we want the free points. we have got to fight so hard, like we always do, but the last two games we played, it kind of felt like we were a different team, it just was not wales. and we know that we have to be better and the results were not great, but now, we have got a draw and

hopefully we can put it right with these games coming up, starting with a friendly, on thursday. mason greenwood says he is happy to be at getafe, as he was officialy presented and trained in front of the home fans for the first time with his new club. last week, manchester united said greenwood would leave by mutual agreement after a six—month internal club investigation. it came after criminal charges against the player, including attempted rape and assault, were dropped in february. the 21—year—old joined the spanish top—flight side on friday on a season—long loan. cricket, and new zealand have beaten england in the fourth t20 international at trent bridge, squaring the series 2—2. jonny bairstow hit 73 from 41 balls for the homes side, while dawid malan and liam livingstone both got 26, as england made 175—8. kiwi opener tim seifert provided a quick start with 48 from 32 balls and glenn phillips took on the charge with 42 from 25,

as the tourists won by 6 wickets with 16 balls to spare. the sides meet in the first of four one—day internationals in cardiff on friday. to the us open tennis where the men's world number two novak djokovic. is into his 47th grand slam semifinal and that is more than any man in history. the 36—year—old serb was up against american ninth seed taylor fritz, who he has beaten in all seven previous meetings. the 2a time grand slam winner progressed in straight sets. obviously it's a huge opportunity every single time i step out on the court at this age, this stage of my life, you know, i don't know how many more opportunities i'll get. so i'm trying to enjoy as much as i possibly can. in the women's draw, american teenager coco gauff

stormed into the semi—finals for the first time with dominant victory over latvia'sjelena 0stapenko. the 19—year—old won 6—0, 6—2, injust 67 minutes, becoming the first american teenager to reach the last four since serena williams 2001. a lot of the stats have aligned with her and people find, you know, new things to think about. i was the first teenager in the quarters and now semis so i'm guessing if i win they're going to be like final so it'sjust going to keep going. but like i said, i never take it for granted. she's my idol. we're just three days away from the start of the rugby world cup in france.... and it's been a difficult build up for the beaten finalists from four years ago. england's campaign will get under way on saturday against argentina and they'll be hoping to put their three warm—up defeats behind them, with tom curry set to return from an ankle injury. england scrum half danny care sat down with our sports editor dan roan to discuss the squad's form and the expectation.

if we are slightly off of it they will win the game. so, we know, we respect them, we know how good they can be, but there is a real belief in this squad that we have not shown anything really yet of how capable we are, and we cannot wait to rip in. can england find a way of clicking back into form when it matters most? the players know that we need to. we are 100% accountable for the four games that have gone by. they did mean a lot but at the same time, this is the real deal. hopefully, we have got the bad stuff out of the way in those games and we have learned the lessons. but it is down to us to perform on saturday because we know we have not been good enough. we have met a lot of fans down. we have let a lot of fans down. some people might be asking questions. we have heard a lot of outside noise but we are working incredibly hard to write those roles and to learn from it. wrongs and to learn from it. you would rather be in the position of ireland to have been in a good position, they've had

that in past world cups then having chequered form. but isn't that the same level of expectation that accompanies england at world cups? may be being underdogs might be a good thing, if the english men being talked down a little bit and coming as underdogs, we normally do all right. we know that we have not been good enough but we know that no points have been awarded yet in this world cup, so we are desperate to go out there and show everyone what we are all about on saturday. can't wait to get in about it. well also heading into the tournament in uncertain form are wales, their coach warren gatland has been talking about the condition of his squad ahead of their opener against fiji on sunday. the whole 33—man squad trained in versailles with gatland set to name his side on wednesday. wales have just three wins from their last 13 tests, and fiji beat england last weekend. gatland admitted he still has decisions to make about his team selection.

last couple of weeks we have had a few nickels and had a few players not taking a full part in training, nothing serious, butjust a few bumps and backs and shoulder so they have all been rehabbed and everyone is fit so a positive place for us to be in. the world number one side ireland take on romania in bordeaux on saturday, and this year will hope to finally get past the quarterfinals for the first time. former captain and now forwards coach paul o'connell believes sticking to the fundamentals will pay off. sometimes you feel like you come to world cup and you need to reinvent the wheel of a little bit. i think we want to evolve and get better for sure but it is not about reinventing anything. those are my two lessons. you can get all the latest sports news at from the bbc sport app, orfrom our website.

from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye. hello there. our september heatwave is set to continue with more sunshine around the corner over the next few days. now, temperatures on tuesday reached 30.8 celsius in hampshire. we don't see 30 degrees every single september. we had similar kind of temperatures back in 2021 and 2020. now, so far this year, the highest temperature we've recorded all year was 32.2 celsius and we're going to get really close to that during wednesday. if we get past 32.2, well, that becomes something quite unusual. there have only been four years in the last century that have had the hottest temperature of the year recorded in a september. so we'll be keeping a close eye on that stat. now, right now, we've got some low cloud filtering in and around some of our

north sea coasts, a little bit of mist and fog around as well, but otherwise clear and starry skies and pretty warm as well. temperatures only towards dawn getting down to around 15 to 17 celsius. now, you might have been hearing about the extreme rainfall we've seen across south—east europe with some severe flooding here. we're underneath this area of high pressure, though, and that's what's bringing us the fine, settled and sunny weather. so we've got more of that to come on wednesday. any morning mist and fog, low cloud will tend to burn away from these eastern coasts and then the sunshine comes out. it's going to be another hot day. temperatures quite widely in scotland and northern ireland reaching the mid 20s. but for england and wales, somewhere between 26 and 32 degrees for most of us, very hot for the time of year and could be the hottest day of the year so far. now, for thursday, more of the same to come. a few subtle changes — there'll be a little bit more in the way of high cloud across north—western areas, making the sunshine little hazy.

and you'd be unlucky, but you could see an odd shower in the west as well. most, though, will continue with the hot, dry, sunny weather with those high temperatures as well. for friday, probably a little bit more in the way of mist and fog patches running both through the irish sea coasts and also our north sea coasts. but aside from that, it's another dry day with lots of sunshine around for the vast majority. top temperatures, well, again, mid to high 20s, pretty widely. low 30s in the very hottest areas. and we've got more of the same into the weekend. it's only really probably during the second part of the weekend and more especially next week, that we start to see the weather pattern breaking down, rain starts to arrive and those temperatures drop closer to normal for the time of year.
