Australia face France in the Women’s World Cup quarter-finals as the tournament co-hosts continue their quest for home glory. The Matildas were on the brink of an early exit in the group stages but have overcome challenges impressively to reach the quarter-finals, with Caitlin Foord and Mary Fowler starring in their 2-0 victory over Denmark in the last-16. The Matildas have now been boosted by the return of star striker and captain Sam Kerr, who faces a battle to get back into the starting line-up given how well Australia have adjusted to her absence. France, meanwhile, cruised into their quarter-finals with a 4-0 win over Morocco. Les Bleues understand the pressure that now faces Australia, after they were knocked out of their home World Cup at the quarter-final stage by the United States four years ago. These sides have met recently, with Australia defeating France 1-0 in a warm-up game just before the start of the World Cup. Here’s everything you need to know. When is Australia vs France? The match takes place on Saturday 12 August in Brisbane, Australia. It will kick off at 8am UK time (BST). How can I watch it? It will be shown live on ITV 1 and ITV X, with coverage starting from 7:30am. What is the team news? After missing all three group games with a calf injury, Sam Kerr returned for Australia against Denmark as she played the final 15 minutes of the 2-0 win. The decision for head coach Tony Gustavsson is now whether to change a winning line-up and bring Kerr back into the starting XI. Australia’s counter-attacking 4-4-2 has clicked, with Mary Fowler and Emily van Egmond working well in tandem up front and Caitlin Foord and Hayley Raso providing goal threat from the wings. But Kerr remains one the best strikers in the world and will be pushing hard for a place against France. Herve Renard is unlikely to change a winning team after France’s comfortable 4-0 win over Morocco, although Vicki Becho impressed from the bench. Kadidiatou Diani has four goals and three assists so far and has struck up a dangerous partnership with France’s record goalscorer Eugenie Le Sommer. How did both teams reach the quarter-finals?

Donald Trump’s public statements have changed in line with advice from his lawyers, a legal expert has suggested. Harry Litman, a former US attorney and former deputy assistant attorney general for the Western District of Pennsylvania, wrote on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, on Monday night that the former president “continues to employ the same braggadocio. But listen carefully, he’s begun to pepper his proclamations with hedges, such as ‘in my opinion’ or ‘that’s what I think.’ That’s lawyer-prescribed to try to shield him from outright lies”. One example of this came when Mr Trump was speaking to Megyn Kelly of SiriusXM. Mr Trump insisted that there’s no “ritual” to declassifying secret information as he argued that he was allowed to have the boxes of files found at Mar-a-Lago which led to one of the indictments against the former president. Mr Trump was speaking to Kelly when he returned to one of his familiar talking points, calling Special Counsel Jack Smith “deranged”. “We have a deranged guy named Jack Smith who has been overturned at the Supreme Court a number of times, and he gets overturned ... because he goes too far,” Mr Trump told Ms Kelly. “They don’t even mention the Presidential Records Act. This is all about the Presidential Records Act.” “I’m allowed to have these documents, I’m allowed to take these documents – classified or not classified. And frankly, when I have them, they become unclassified. People think you have to go through a ritual – you don’t, at least in my opinion, you don’t,” Mr Trump added. But a number of social media users didn’t seem to think slipping in “in my opinion” would help Mr Trump in the courts. Responding to Mr Trump’s comments to Ms Kelly, Jennifer Rubin, a Washington Post columnist, wrote that it was “another public confession. Like taking candy from a baby”. “Someone should tell him, that the US isn’t governed by opinions, it’s governed by laws,” one user said. Conservative anti-Trump lawyer George Conway also noted that Mr Trump appeared to be making comments putting him in further legal jeopardy, saying that “interviewers should be required to read him his rights”. “Credit to @megynkelly for letting him confess to the crimes in the indictment. She’ll see this played at the trial by the government,” Bradley Moss added. “I want Dude to say this to Jack Smith in open court during his criminal trial,” Tony Michaels said. Mr Trump’s shift in language comes as Mr Smith’s office has asked for a narrow gag order from Judge Tanya Chutkan in the federal election interference case against Mr Trump in Washington DC to prevent him from attacking possible witnesses and jurors.

Donald Trump refused to acknowledge that he lost the 2020 election to Joe Biden at CNN’s controversial town hall event and called his defeat “rigged” and “sad.” The one-term president was immediately confronted by moderator Kaitlan Collins over his election lies and was asked to finally admit that he had been fairly and legally beaten by Mr Biden. “Unless you are a very stupid person you see what happens…most people understand what happened, it was a rigged election and it was a shame we had to go through it,” he told Collins. She then asked him to acknowledge that he lost the election, telling him that he and his supporters had lost more than 60 lawsuits across the country. Mr Trump then cited claims by “True the Vote”, a conservative vote monitoring organisation, and said that they had “found millions of votes on government cameras where they were stuffing ballot boxes, it is a sad thing for our country and for the world.” Collins told him that the false election claims had already been debunked by Republican election officials across the country. Mr Trump then claimed that “people were afraid to take on the issue” and that “we have elections that were horrible in this country”, citing Philadelphia, Detroit and Atlanta, all cities in swing states that went to Mr Biden. “There is no evidence of that,” she told him. The event, which has been criticised for giving Mr Trump’s election lies and baseless conspiracy theories live airtime, took place in front of an audience of 400 Republican and GOP-leaning independent voters in New Hampshire on Wednesday night. Later, when Mr Trump claimed the election was “rigged” while talking about the border wall, Collins told him, “The election was not rigged Mr President, you can’t keep saying that all night long.” Read More CNN Trump town hall — live: Trump refuses to admit 2020 loss and says he does not owe Mike Pence an apology Kaitlan Collins: CNN’s new star anchor who holds Trump’s future in her hands Republicans offer no evidence of crimes at press conference on alleged ‘Biden family corruption’ Republicans try to distract from the Trump and Santos debacle with a Biden nothingburger National Archives leader confirmed amid turmoil over Trump probe
