made sure to check immediately. i assumed the race wouldn't happen. i think it will be interesting to see how many athletes get sick in the next couple of days.— how many athletes get sick in the next couple of days. talking about their water quality _ next couple of days. talking about their water quality of _ next couple of days. talking about their water quality of the - next couple of days. talking about their water quality of the seine. i their water quality of the seine. more of that on the website. south korea's badminton world number one an se—young won the gold medal in the women's singles event this morning. on her olympic debut, the 22—year—old won 2—0 in the final against china's he bingjao — the chinese player hit her last shot long to give victory to the south korean, who took the final game 21—16. and the action continues on the track today with karsten warholm looking to defend his 400 metres hurdles crown. the champion was impressive in the heats. world record holder warholm held off home hope clement ducos down the final few metres to win his race in 47.57 seconds — the fastest time of the day, at the stade de france. tokyo silver medallist rai benjamin and bronze winner dos santos will be determined to knock him off the top of the podium.

khelif�*s been the subject of abuse online, with her progress in the spotlight over to a gender eligibility row. translation: i send a message to all the people of the world to uphold - the olympic principles, to refrain from bullying all athletes because this thing has effects, massive effects. it can destroy people. it can kill people's thoughts, spirit and mind. and it can divide people. because of that i ask them to refrain from bullying and that's it. and away from the olympics history has been made in tennis with the first father—son duo winning the same atp tour event. sebastian korda won the washington open after beating flavio cobolli of italy 4—6, 6—2, 6—0, taking home his second atp tour title. it comes 32 years after father petr won the then—named sovran bank classic. sebastian hoped his dad would make the match, but he got caught up in a hurricane in florida, and said he hopes they can attend together next year.

i got to see my dad in 1992, right across where you sit down, so it is pretty cool to put my name up there as well and hopefully he comes with me next yearjust as well and hopefully he comes with me next year just to as well and hopefully he comes with me next yearjust to be here and experience the special moment. remarkable achievement. you can keep up—to—date on the bbc sport website. you can keep up—to—date on the bbc sport website. and that's all the sport for now. i always have the olympics are on in the background. now it's time for the latest from the olympics — let's go straight to my colleague maryam moshiri who's in paris. yellow thank you very much. it is a beautiful day in paris. plenty of sport today. i beautiful day in paris. plenty of sport today-— sport today. i want to tell you about something _ sport today. i want to tell you about something else. - sport today. i want to tell you about something else. this i sport today. i want to tell you - about something else. this olympics is really interesting because it has been well documented that these games are aiming to be the most sustainable games yet. paris 2024

a look the global economy now with markets in the united states opening sharply down, picking up where japan left off as a global stock market sell—off intensifies. there are two things that seem to be driving it. only 114,000 jobs were added to the us economy injuly — that was much lower than expected raising fears the the world's biggest economy is slowing. and on wednesday japan's central bank increased

the cost of borrowing, with its main interest rate going to "around 0.25%", which is the highest in 15 years. many will now look to the 18th september when the us federal reserve will makes its latest interest rate decision and investors are wondering if they will cut the cost of borrowing enough to stimulate the economy. katy kaminski, chief research strategist at the investment firm alphasimplex, gave us her thoughts on these latest developments. i think we have to point out that data has been coming in the week for about two months, and the narrative in the markets has been shifting. initially we were thinking about inflation as a concern. that has tempered. now the narrative is moving towards the potential for demand destruction and economic weakness. if you look at some of the data like housing, it isn't doing as well and manufacturing data has been weak for some times. we are seeing savings rates down, consumer debt rising. so the question is, is the market ready for a correction because there is economic weakness?

that will be fuelled by more economic uncertainty or political uncertainty, and as well as high valuations, will cause people to want to get out of those positions. we will have more on the situation with global markets in the next hour in our business segment. iran says it is does not want to escalate tensions in the middle east, but believes it needs to punish israel to prevent further instability in the region. it comes amid fears that a major escalation is imminent. it follows last week's killings of the hamas political chief in tehran and a senior commander of the lebanese group hezbollah, which has vowed to avenge the killings. a growing number of countries — including the us and saudi arabia — have urged their citizens to leave lebanon as soon as possible. while in gaza the hamas—run health ministry says the death toll from the war has now reached 39,623 people. it come after an israeli airstrike

has hit two schools in gaza city housing displaced people. the israeli military said it struck hamas what they called "control rooms" in the school buildings. our middle east correspondent yolande knell explained more. yeah. i mean, a lot is going on diplomatically with these different overtures towards iran, particularly through arab countries in the region, to try to urge restraint. but as you say, it's really seen as such a humiliation, what happened in tehran last week with the assassination of the hamas leader, ismail haniyeh. so, you know, iran, of course, backs different armed groups around this region. they include hamas. they include hezbollah as well. and now there is this raised expectation of an attack on israel, a major attack by iran, that could involve its proxies as well. what we've seen in the past day is a continuation across the israel—lebanon border of these exchanges of fire

between the israeli military and hezbollah. but really, the expectation is of something much greater that is imminent. and you've got the pentagon that has moved some of its major military assets to the region. it's treating this notjust as a way of showing its ironclad support for israel, but as we were hearing there, a way of also protecting its own interests, its own forces around the region, which could be potential targets as well. i mean, israel is staying defiant. we've had this meeting that lasted about four hours, discussing different possibilities for a response to an attack from iran, the different scenarios that may come about. we heard from the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, a couple of times yesterday, basically, that israel was ready for any kind of scenario. we believe that the us, according to reports, is approaching the different

countries that were involved in that coalition that helped israel to thwart a direct attack from iran back in april — that included the uk, it included france and jordan as well, to see if they will be involved in repelling another attack, a similar attack, if that were to happen. but really, this remains an extremely difficult time — analysts warning that, you know, this is the moment of greatest peril in years in the middle east. it's august and in scotland's capital city that means only one thing: it's time for edinburgh festival fringe. for the next three and a half weeks, thousands of artists from all over the world will be gathering in the city for what's billed as "one of the greatest celebrations of arts and culture on the planet". our reporter courtney bembridge is there. it is quite a privilege to be there, and i think the weather looks fine which is not always guaranteed in

most of the uk. how about the week ahead? here is the headline. it will be quite changeable with some rain at times but also plenty of sunny spells in the forecast. let's look at the here and now. here is the forecast for later on today is this cold front approaches scotland, western england and wales. here it was earlier on as it moved across northern ireland. you see the cloudy skies, humid airahead northern ireland. you see the cloudy skies, humid air ahead of this weather front. skies, humid air ahead of this weatherfront. it was skies, humid air ahead of this weather front. it was 80 degrees in the morning in northern ireland. and that fresher air arrives. the yellow colours show temperatures sub 20 celsius where the mid 20s are expected across eastern parts of the uk in humid southerly. through this evening and overnight the weather front continues across the country and it would gently move eastwards and it would gently move eastwards and northwards, delivering a fair amount of rain to south—western scotland, perhaps the lake district. early in the morning on tuesday it will be dribs and drabs of rain across central and southern england, just the odd heavy shower here and there. big temperature contrast

first thing tomorrow ahead of that weather front it is still muggy. at towards the west we have this fresh atlantic conditions. it will be a fairly sunny start for many of us on tuesday but then the clouds will bubble up. still the remnants of that humidity there across east anglia and temperatures of around 25 where it is more like the teens across western parts of the uk. here is wednesday. weather front to the north of the uk, low pressure here bringing breezy conditions with frequent showers for scotland, some of these western areas as well. best chance for sunnier skies out towards the east and south. quite gusty, 30-40 the east and south. quite gusty, 30—40 mph gusts in the north of the uk. not quite so windy in the south. high teens in scotland and low 20s expected in the south. come thursday we are expecting at least potentially another weather front to sweep in. this one may bring more extensive cloud and outbreaks of rain to at least the southern half of the uk but this, i have to say,

it really is somewhat uncertain at the moment. the rain could be almost anywhere that the indication is there will be at least some wet weather heading our way. here is the week at a glance, into the weekend if you have any plans it remains on the unsettled side. that is it from me.

live from london, this is bbc news. after days of violent unrest across the uk, the prime minister announces a "standing army" of specialist

police to tackle the disorder. i have asked for early consideration of the earliest naming and identification of those involved in the process, who will feel the full force of the law. bangladesh's prime minister resigns and flees the country after weeks of protests. the army chief says there'll be an interim government, and widespread looting is reported in the capital, dhaka. more than 300 people are thought to have been killed during weeks of anti—government protests — more than 50 on monday alone. kamala harris is expected to name her presidential running mate as early as today. in what could be her last olympic performance, us gymnast simone biles wins silver in the floorfinal.
