wet session in shanghai. the mclaren driver had his fastest lap time deleted and then reinstated in the final minutes as he beat hamilton by 1.2 seconds. championship leader max verstappen could only manage fourth in the difficult conditions. the world's top golfer nelly korda has taken the lead at the chevron open, the first women's golf major of the year. the american is on incredible form, going for herfifth tournament win in a row — a feat which hasn't been achieved since 1978. korda is the clubhouse leader on seven under after her second round of 69 at carlton woods in the us state of texas. but the round of the day so far goes to south korea's hae ran ryu who shot a 66 including six birdies to sitjust a shot behind korda. and special mention has to go to the english temperature to the english amateur lottie woad

who's on four under after another impressive round in houston. the student, who won the augusta amateur title this month, is playing in her first lpga event. there are some big cup games this weekend including the semi finals of the fa cup at wembley. and it's also the last four of the women's champions league with two giants of the game going head to head again as chelsea take on barcelona in the first leg. holders barca are favourites and their star player — aitana bonmati knows they will put up a strong challenge. always that we play in chelsea, it's a tough game. i think it will be a tight game. we are in semifinals so it's not to have this type of game but i always say that i am a football player because of the game, it's the game that makes you play football that makes you enjoy football. we have the power to make

happy out of people because we are winning a lot. snooker�*s world championship gets under way this weekend and the sport's most famous player — ronnie o'sullivan is favourite to win the famous trophy a record 8th time. the world number one is trying to play down his chances but admits he can still win matches even when he's not at his best. i think it's a good attitude to go in with. just try and play your way into the tournament. now it's a real good chance. when you don't play great, you have to rely more on your own experience, your mental capacity, to not collapse or be a bit more patient, a bit more like... it's a long session match here. you don't have to get it won in the first two. i canjust hang in there. you learn a lot of that is you go along and experience tells you have to play great and brush up

and other areas. the london marathon takes place tomorrow and it will be a poignant occasion for the men's elite runners who'll be remembering last year's winner kelvin kiptum who died in a car accident in february. kiptum is the london course and world marathon record holder and as a mark of respect to the late kenyan, the race will start with a 30 second applause. it's a star studded field including the newly crowned new york marathon champion — tola tamirat, and ethiopia's three—time olympic champion — kenenisa bekele. the 41—year—old is running his sixth london marathon but says he isn't scared of taking—on younger athletes. last 18 years, i was really discouraged. if my health wasn't100%, i never fear anyone and i don't worry. because i know myself,

i see myself on training, i'm still doing well and follow those younger generation. so, i'm confident to compete with anybody. and that's all the sport for now. prime minister rishi sunak is calling for an end to what's being called "sick note culture". says he wants to get more people back to work. as part of a fresh crackdown on people claiming benefits. new idea — responsibility for assessing fitness to work will shift away from gps to "specialist work and health professionals" in england. there has been a sharp rise in people claiming sickness benefits, but opposition parties say lengthy nhs waiting lists are to blame. here's the prime minister. joining me now is dr phil whitaker. he is a practising gp and medical

editor of the new statesman. alsojoining me is gemma byrne, she is the policy and campaign manager at mind, the mental health charity. thanks to you both forjoining us. if we could start with you, what do you make of this idea as the sick notes not being given out to gps but by other specialists instead? i've not a by other specialists instead? i've got a qualified — by other specialists instead? i�*e got a qualified welcome for by other specialists instead? i"j: got a qualified welcome for it. i would split sick notes into three broad categories. there is sort of the short term, perhaps somebody has has pneumonia or hernia repair, we should retain those in general practice, we can quickly sign them off for a short period of time, not a problem. then i think the other aspect to this is longer—term sickness. there are unfortunately many people for whom work is just not a possibility, they may have

very severe disease, multiple sclerosis for example, or dementia. and they don't need to be caught up in any kind of new initiatives, they need their lives made much less complicated. but there are a proportion of people who have become unwell and haven't made it back into work, and the statistics are quite shocking really, if you've been out of work for six months then you've only got about a one in five chance of ever making it back to work in the moment. but the reason i quite welcome this idea is not because i think there's going to be some sort of stern police force that's going to come round and take a stick and beat people back into work, but actually, i think these people need actually, i think these people need a lot of support but they're not currently getting from either the health service or the benefit system. health service or the benefit s stem. , ., , ., ., system. 0k. gemma, 'ust want to brin: ou system. 0k. gemma, 'ust want to bring you int system. 0k. gemma, 'ust want to bring you in there, _ system. 0k. gemma, just want to bring you in there, what _ system. 0k. gemma, just want to bring you in there, what do - system. 0k. gemma, just want to bring you in there, what do you i bring you in there, what do you make of that, that these people really do need help back into work? yes.

there are different ways of looking at the problem. one of them might be to get in support to help people as i was talking about, early intervention. but i think actually we need a little bit more of a intelligent look at what we're doing intelligent look at what we're doing in our society that striving such an epidemic, really, of mental health difficulties amongst the younger generation, i think they were hit very very hard by the pandemic, perhaps the least likely to run into any physical problems by the virus, but in terms of the restrictions on their life chances and there's a lot of work to be done there to understand what we can do to help. just, finally, gemma to you, but virtually we don't have time to go into the detail of what kind of piece of work that bill would be referring to there, but in a simple kind of top line, what would be your priority? tsir."

targets which are the usual target of russians, and of course it really means a lot for people in israel, the indo—pacific and generally for the indo—pacific and generally for the global security. you the indo-pacific and generally for the global security. you mentioned are the fact — the global security. you mentioned are the fact that _ the global security. you mentioned are the fact that the _ the global security. you mentioned are the fact that the vast _ the global security. you mentioned are the fact that the vast majority l are the fact that the vast majority of the actual money will be spent within the us and help the us congress, and despite that there are still politicians in the us who do not support this.— not support this. what's your messa . e not support this. what's your message to _ not support this. what's your message to them? _ not support this. what's your message to them? well, - not support this. what's your message to them? well, we | not support this. what's your i message to them? well, we are running into at least 70 different elections across 2024, including in the us. so unfortunate that sometimes political, i would say, games or preferences are going over humanity, and the rights for safe living, and ukraine is today fighting for all of us, for, the us, for you, the fighting for all of us, for, the us, foryou, the uk, all fighting for all of us, for, the us, for you, the uk, all the partners

across the globe defending our common values. it's a moral duty to join this battle, not necessarily on the battlefield physically, but with weapons to be provided and you know weapons to be provided and you know we really see the rising of the rising threats, having russia at the doorstep of the eu countries and nato allies and we are saying... and nato allies and we are saying... and on the threat _ nato allies and we are saying... and on the threat of russia, there have been some warning from those in the us, trying to get support for the aid bill going through, that ukraine could be defeated on the battlefield before the end of the year. is that a real possibility? indie before the end of the year. is that a real possibility?— a real possibility? we will fight altouether a real possibility? we will fight altogether until _ a real possibility? we will fight altogether until the _ a real possibility? we will fight altogether until the victory - a real possibility? we will fight| altogether until the victory day, and once the aid will arrive, we will efficiently use it on the ground. this is one. secondly we do hope as members of parliament are recent bill will serve the purpose and the recruitment process will go smoothly and of course the morale is high, so we all have high hopes for

saturday and we are very thankful also for our british allies who provide us with necessary kits on the ground so we can defend what we truly believe in, this is democracy, this is freedom and this is opposition to an aggressor who wants to recreate an empire of cruelty and the 21st century.— the 21st century. thank you very much for coming _ the 21st century. thank you very much for coming on _ the 21st century. thank you very much for coming on the - the 21st century. thank you very - much for coming on the programme, we really appreciate your time, and of course we will have coverage from the us if that vote does take place tomorrow. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news.

two hours after it was released, taylor added 15 extra songs. writing online, she explained she'd written so much tortured poetry in the past two years that she felt compelled to share it. many of the songs deal with her break—up from the british actorjoe alwyn. # he said he'd love me all his life...#. this is so good. the emotional weight of the album floored many of her fans. but critics gave it a clutch of four and five—star reviews. i think it's a really beautiful record. i think it's swift at the height of her songwriting prowess. i think it's also clearly a very intimate album where she goes into a lot of in—depth detail about what's been going on in her personal life and for that, i think it's also a very cathartic album. fans at this listening event in london told us why taylor is so important to them.

to see someone flourish like taylor has, it gives hope for the rest of us. she is just continually growing. she's such an inspiration. welcome to the eras tour! taylor's record—breaking eras tour hits the uk injune. presumably, some of these 31 new songs will be added to the set list then. mark savage, bbc news. let's now go to jack edwards. he is a content creator, author and a taylor swift fan. thank you very much for coming on the programme. thanks for having me. right, we'll get to the details in the moment, first, broad thoughts on it. ~ the moment, first, broad thoughts on it. . ., ., , , it. we are all feeling pretty overwhelmed, _ it. we are all feeling pretty overwhelmed, we - it. we are all feeling pretty overwhelmed, we knew- it. we are all feeling pretty i overwhelmed, we knew nothing it. we are all feeling pretty _ overwhelmed, we knew nothing about the album, i hadn't heard a snippet, tiktok, not a breath from taylor swift about what was going to be on this album so to get the album and then get an extra 16 songs, or 15 songs, i 2am, then get an extra 16 songs, or 15 songs, i2am, i had then get an extra 16 songs, or 15 songs, i 2am, i had the resume he is

across continental europe. there's some cold air to the east of the jet and as the jet bends its way back towards us, it will introduce some of that colder air into the south and the east. now, as we go through tonight, actually, it's going to turn pretty chilly under largely clear skies. still a few showers grazing this east coast, where it will stay quite breezy, more in the way of cloud into the northwest of scotland. but those temperatures dropping very close to freezing, dropping below freezing in a few spots. so, yes, a touch of frost to start saturday morning, but quite a lot of sunshine first thing. however, i think we will see cloud amounts increasing as the day wears on and also still some showers close to eastern counties of england, some patchy rain passing across the far north of scotland. the best of the sunshine out towards the west, particularly in northern ireland, where temperatures could reach 15 degrees. but with cloud and that breeze along the east coast, maybe just eight, nine or ten degrees. high pressure still with us into the second half of the weekend, but this dangling weather front here certainly providing a fly in the ointment —

more clouds, some showery rain. so, the forecast for the london marathon looks like this — quite a chilly start to the morning. then a lot of cloud, the chance of one or two showers. it will be quite breezy. the weather fronts i spoke about sitting just about here, a band of clouds, some showery rain with that across parts of eastern scotland and northeast england. the rain not coming to very much, it'll still be largely dry. best chance of sunshine again for northern ireland — temperatures here maybe up to 18 degrees. compare that with eight, nine or ten for some north sea coasts. and into the start of next week, there will be parts of central and eastern england, particularly on monday. they really struggle temperature—wise with some spots of rain, the highest temperatures further north and west across the uk.

hello, i'm lewis vaughanjones. you're watching the context on bbc news. there's a lot of relief in israel and across the region at perhaps the response by the israeli military to those rockets fired by iran last week wasn't as overwhelming and as intense. what's been remarkable today isjust how little we know. the israelis aren't saying anything, the iranians are not blaming the israelis, the international community have been largely muted. it's almost as if there's been a collective effort just to play this whole thing down. we have been very, very clear from here from the beginning| that we do not want to see

this conflict escalate. i we continue to consult i with our allies and partners, including in the region. and on our panel. first, the latest headlines. a man has set himself ablaze outside the new york courthouse where the trial of the former us president donald trump is being heard. his body was carried away on a stretcher with severe burns. the incident came as jury selection for the trial was being completed. there's been a renewed chorus of international calls for restraint in the middle east after a presumed israeli attack on iran in response to tehran's missile and drone strikes last week. there's mounting criticism of the football association following the announcement that they're scrapping fa cup replays.
