speaking ahead of tomorrow's nations league match with scotland, the england captain revealed that their dispute has been settled. we've come to an agreement but i think it is bigger thanjust the bonus. for us it is about being world leaders on and off the pitch and as we know the women's game is evolving very quickly and in all areas we're at the top of our game and the conversation was extremely positive and the players are very positive moving forward that the structures are now in place. it looks really good and of course makes me really happy because it is good for the players and good for the women's take the next step but also we can

focus on football which we did anyway in the world cup because it did not distract but when you start playing football you don't want to have discussions at that moment. it is exactly what happened. former england, everton and liverpool striker natasha dowie has announced her retirement for football. one of dowie's career highlights was winning the fa cup with everton in 2010. dowie, 35, is a lifelong liverpool fan, is their record wsl scorer and won the women's super league with the club in 2013 and 2014. she has taken up the role of women is an ambassadorfor she has taken up the role of women is an ambassador for liverpool. manchester united's goalkeeper andre onana blamed himself

for their 4—3 defeat at bayern munich last night. here's our sports corrrespondent joe wilson on the contrasting fortunes of the two british sides. in an alternative footballing financial reality, harry kane could have been manchester united's, potentially. bayern munich did the real deal. this was a strange game, from the moment andre onana let the lead slip beneath him. it's a terrible mistake by onana. now he's a player united did sign in the summer. at half time it was 2—0, and bayern�*s dominance seemed that emphatic. leading united's optimism was 20—year—old rasmus hojland. the game was close and immediately distant. that's a handball and a penalty — on this occasion. think kane would miss the opportunity? kane scores. clinical. well, he's joined a winning team and bayern led throughout. but it was 3—2 for about four minutes. promising in there for casimero and they've managed to squeeze another one in!

and then bayern scored their fourth in added time and united made it 4—3 before the final whistle. seven goals and a defeat and through it all, have united defined their direction? not sure. arsenal, back in the champions league, were unstoppable against psv eindhoven. saka sharp for the first goal. accomplished finishes followed before half time by trossard and by gabrieljesus. all the arsenal forwards were right on target and the best finish of the lot might have been this from odegaard. arsenal, 4—0. europe, take note. joe wilson, bbc news. jude bellingham can do no wrong for real madrid — he scored an injury—time winner as real left it late to beat champions league debutants union berlin, at the bernebeu. that's six goals in six matches for the england midfielder since his move from borussia dortmund over the summer. it's another really busy night of european football, four british sides are in the europa league, and brighton fans are getting ready for a really special night at the amex stadium, as they start their first european campaign in the i22—year history of the club. we believe in ourselves.

we believe in the quality of the players, first of all, the level of the club. but we know we are brighton and we know our level. but we have the ambition to become better, better and better, step by step in every competition, in every game. i never thought when i came here that we _ i never thought when i came here that we could go that far i think it's incredible, the way we grow, especially— it's incredible, the way we grow, especially the last year, think a development is very good but we want to keep _ development is very good but we want to keep going, keep pushing. we want to keep going, keep pushing. we want to get— to keep going, keep pushing. we want to get better all the time. so a big night for de zerbi and brighton. here's a check on the rest of this evenings games featuring british sides. liverpool begin their europa league campaign in austria as they take on lask. that's a 5.45 kick off. west ham take on serbian side

backa topola at the london stadium. rangers host real betis and confirmation there of brighton's match against aek athens at the amex stadium. in the europa conference league, aston villa are away to legia warsaw. lionel messi was forced off with an injury during inter miami's 4—0 win over toronto fc on wednesday night in the mls. messi missed the last of argentina's world cup qualifiers during the international break and went off in the first half. inter miami manager tata martino said the world cup winner was dealing with an old injury and won't take any risks with him ahead of next week's us open cup final against houston dynamo.

andy murray has had a winning start in china winning in straight sets in the first round. it has been four years since murray won an atp tour title. great britain's emma raducanu hasn't written off the rest of the tennis season. the 2021 us open champion has missed three of the four grand slams this year and dropped out of the top 200 after undergoing surgery on her ankle and both wrists in may. the fact that they're still talking about me, even though i'm not at these events or not about i think it's just a compliment. so i think one thing someone told me was worry when they're not talking about you. so, yeah, next season i'll be back. yeah. this season all the slams were finished, so it was difficult to watch them go by. but, yeah, i was just trying to stay in my lane as much as possible and keep focused on my recovery and my path back.

having been recalled for the abandoned one—day international against ireland at headingley yesterday, joe root is to be rested for the remaining matches two matches in the series. somerset�*s tom kohler—cadmore has been added to the squad ahead of saturday's second odi. that is at trent bridge. he'lljoin up after his county's current championship match which is due to finish on friday. kohler—cadmore is a powerful wicketkeeper—batter and has become a regular on cricket's franchise circuit in recent years. golf fans will be spoiled over the next couple of weekends, the ryder cup next week in rome, before that the solheim cup in southern spain which starts tomorrow. england's georgia hall is making herfourth appearance, with europe looking to win for the third time in a row, something they've never done before. we've got a really great team,

i think, and we all get on really well, and there's lots of similar personalities, and a lot of us have played in this before and i think for the rookies they're really enjoying it and it's just a great atmosphere within the team room, and obviously our captain, suzanne, in practice round is blaring music really loud and she's just having a ball as well so it's a great environment to be in and just having a lot of fun. i'm lu kwesa i'm lukwesa burak. as we've been hearing,

the prime minister has been defending making changes to some of his key environmental policies. speaking to my colleague nick robinson, he rejected the claim his policies would slow down the uk's efforts to combat climate change. the first thing to say is we're absolutely not slowing down efforts to combat climate change. i'm very proud of our country's leadership. we've decarbonised faster than any other major economy in the g7 — not a fact you hear reported that often. our targets to continue decarbonising through to 2030 — again, more ambitious than pretty much any other major economy in the world. and i think those targets are right because i passionately do want to make sure that our country gets to net zero. that's the right thing to do. you can't look at the events that have happened over the summer — whether it's in libya, whether it's in europe — and not see that climate change is real, and we have an obligation to reduce our emissions. but i also believe — as i think margaret thatcher would have agreed with, as well — that it's not right

to just assert a headline, chase the short—term popularity that that might give, without a clear and deliverable plan for how to get there. and that's what i set out yesterday, cos i think for too long in this debate there hasn't been enough honesty, enough transparency with the country about what's involved. i wanted to change that. so i said i wanted to change the way we do politics, want to change the direction of the country. that started with the decision yesterday to take a proportionate, pragmatic and realistic approach to meeting our ambitions on net zero. because ultimately, for those of us that believe in wanting to get there, we have to carry the consent of the country with us. people will. .. i think the approach that i've set out is best placed to do that, whilst avoiding, as i said, real burdens on working families. people, i think, will be fascinated by the suggestion that you're not slowing down — we'll come to the specifics on cars and boilers in a second. but in new york, you're not there — sir alok sharma is, he was the president of cop26, appointed by this government. a man who was a conservative cabinet minister alongside you when you were chancellor. he says — sir alok sharma —

there is consternation at the united nations after your speech, with people saying, "if the uk are starting to row back on its policies, maybe we should do the same." well, i was just at the g20 in india, talking with leaders from around the world, and at that summit i made a commitment to the green climate fund — a $2 billion commitment to help the world's poorest countries transition to climate change. single biggest commitment that our country's ever made, warmly welcomed by leaders across the globe. help us helping them make that vital transition. and, again, you talk about the un and other countries. look, here are the facts — because, again, lots of people want to deal with emotion in this debate — but here are the facts. we've decarbonised faster than many other major economy thus far. because the coal mines were closed. no, because there's lots of different things. we've developed offshore wind. and that's a good thing, that we've got coal out of our power system — that's not a bad thing — we've done that faster than other countries. but here are the facts. 2030, everyone's had to set a target for what they'll do
