How to watch England vs Spain: TV channel and kick-off time for Women’s World Cup final
England play Spain in the Women’s World Cup final as the Lionesses look to bring home the game’s biggest prize for the first time. The nation is set to come to a halt as England play their first World Cup final, men’s or women’s, in 57 years. Manager Sarina Wiegman has urged her players to block out the “noise” of 1966 as England look to add the World Cup title to last year’s Euros triumph. The Lionesses reached the World Cup final for the first time with their 3-1 win over Australia in the semi-finals, with Wiegman’s side managing to stay cool to defeat the hosts with a clinical display in Sydney. Spain, who are also playing the first Women’s World Cup final, have navigated a player mutiny off the pitch and questions surrounding their manager Jorge Vilda, but ‘La Roja’ remain dangerous opponents and are led by their contingent of Barcelona stars. Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the World Cup final and find latest tips for the game itself here. When is England vs Spain? The Women’s World Cup final will kick off at 11:00am BST on Sunday 20 August at Stadium Australia, Sydney. What TV channel is it on? The World Cup final will be shown by both the BBC and ITV. Coverage on BBC One starts at 10am, while ITV’s coverage begins at 10:15am. It will also be available to watch online, on both the BBC iPlayer and on ITV X. What is the England team news? England have no injury concerns and the return of Lauren James means Sarina Wiegman has all 23 players available for the final. Wiegman faces a decision on whether to bring in James from the start, but is likely to stick with the team that performed so impressively against Australia. Mary Earps is a contender for the tournament’s golden glove and will start behind England’s back three of Jess Carter, Millie Bright and Alex Greenwood, with Lucy Bronze and Rachel Daly at wing-back. Should Toone start, the midfielder will play alongside Kiera Walsh and Georgia Stanway, with James remaining an excellent option to have on the bench. England’s front two of Alessia Russo and Lauren Hemp have struck up a deadly partnership and were both on target in the quarter-finals and semi-finals. Chloe Kelly will be among the other attacking options on the bench. What is the Spain team news? Spain face a big decision of their own, with Salma Paralluelo scoring in both their quarter-final win against the Netherlands and in the semi-final win against Sweden after coming off the bench. Head coach Jorge Vilda may decide to keep the 19-year-old winger as an impact substitute, with Alexia Putellas set to remain in the starting line-up even though she is yet to come to life at the tournament. Predicted line-ups Spain: Coll; Batlle, Parades, Codina, Carmona; Teresa, Bonmati, Putellas; Caldentey, Hermoso, Redondo England: Earps; Carter, Bright, Greenwood; Bronze, Stanway, Walsh, Daly; Toone; Hemp, Russo Read More England stand on the brink of history — and a moment to change the game forever Ella Toone or Lauren James?

EU urges keeping cats and dogs inside amid record cases of bird flu
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has urged people to keep cats and dogs inside amid record cases of avian influenza across the world. It comes after 24 cats tested positive in Poland for bird flu since June 10, which in some cases had resulted in death. The source of the contamination has not yet been determined. The European Food Safety Authority said in December that the ongoing avian influenza epidemic was the “largest ever observed in Europe”. In the first year of the epidemic, from October 2021 to September 2022, there were 2,520 outbreaks in poultry, 227 in captive birds, and 3,867 detections in wild birds notified across 37 European countries. “It is recommended to avoid exposure of domestic cats and dogs, and in general carnivore pets, to dead or diseased animals,” the EFSA said in its latest update. “Possible measures are keeping dogs on a leash, and confining cats indoors in areas where extensive circulation of HPAI viruses in wild birds has been confirmed.” The organisation also urged dog and cat owners to avoid feeding raw poultry meat to their pets in areas where the virus has been reported. In recent weeks, five dogs and a cat have been infected in Italy. Meanwhile, there have been 188 cases of bird flu detected in the UK since October 2022, according to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. There is no vaccination for poultry or most captive birds to protect against bird flu in England. However, France recently said it hopes to start vaccinating poultry as early as autumn 2023. The US has also begun testing several vaccine candidates for potential use on birds. The UK’s chief veterinary officer Christine Middlemiss has warned vaccinating poultry was not “a silver bullet because the virus changes constantly”. Bird flu was detected in two people in the UK in May, the UK Health Security Agency (UKSA) said. The cases were believed to be linked to exposure to sick birds on a single poultry farm where the two people were known to have recently worked. Neither worker suffered symptoms of infection and both cases were found during screening. The UKHSA said the level of risk to human health remains “very low to the general population”.
