now with all the latest sport, here's anne marie. hello from the bbc sport centre. real madrid head coach carlo ancelotti says new star signing kylian mbappe could be in line to make his debut for the club tonight of the uefa super cup against atalanta. the 25—year—old french forward previously said it was his childhood dream come true to join the european champions, after scoring 256 goals in 308 appearances for paris saint—germain. mbappe — who led his national side to the european semi—finals earlier this year — signed a five—year deal at the club injuly after the expiry of his contract at p56. translation: kylian arrived well, the same as the - rest of the players. they arrived on the 7th ofjuly so we haven't had many time to train.
3:31 pm
we are feeling ready. kylian also arrived in good shape. he is adapting to all of my players could play tomorrow. meanwhile, atalanta winger ademola lookman says the whole team is excited about the game against real madrid, but that there's never a good time to face the spanish champions. however, lookman, who scored a hat—trick in may's europa league final, has warned that the italian side bring their own threats too. it's a top team with top players that are ready at any moment. i don't think there is a good time to play real madrid. we have been focusing on us as a team. what we can do in terms of our game and how we can put our effect on the game. you know, obviously, they have their powers and the dangers. like i said, we also have quality. dutch defender daley blind has announced his retirement
3:32 pm
from international football. the 34—year—old featured in the netherlands squad at euro 2024, which has marked the end of his 11—year international career. posting the news on social media, blind said it was "an honour to wear the orange shirt 108 times", and that he considered playing for his country his "highest achievement". in the uk, the football supporters association has criticised a premier league claim that an "inependent survey" has found that four out of five fans want to keep var, saying the league "appeared to be in denial". a new ai—powered system is set to be introduced later this season, but the fsa said var's impact on the matchday experience has to be taken seriously. refereeing chief howard webb says work is being done to improve the way it's used. we are looking at ways to do that, using the video boards where they exist, enhancing messages, ensuring replays of video,
3:33 pm
assistant referee situations are played out consistently. and also, again, reducing those delays. if you are in the stadium watching a game, a goal is scored, you want to be able to celebrate and get back into the game as quickly as possible and there is frustration when there are delays. some of those delays are inevitable. but the sooner we can get to the final decision, the less frustration it's caused. that greater efficiency that i've spoken about, we think, will be something that will make the in—stadium experience better too. defending champion demi vollering has extended her lead at the tour de france femmes with four stages to go. stage four crossed from the netherlands into belgium, the race will reach france on thursday, and vollering was there to contest a dramatic sprint for the stage win but she was beaten in a photo finsh by puck pieterse by a quarter of a bike wheel. vollering now leads the overall standings by 22 seconds, ahead of pieterse. and that's all the sport for now, but you can keep up to date with all the latest developments
3:34 pm
on the bbc sport website and app. let me bring you up—to—date with the aftermath of the riots we saw after the fatal stabbing of three young girls here in the north of england in south out on merseyside. today, as part of a series of charges and prosecutions made against those involved in the violence, a woman from cheshire who suggested on facebook a mask should be blown up with the adelson side, has been jailed for 15 months. the 53—year—old admitted the charge of sending a communication threatening death or serious harm after admitting in crown court in chester. the comments came she made as that is violence flared across the uk. the court heard she was responding to a facebook post. she wrote, it is
3:35 pm
absolutely ridiculous, don't protect the mask, blow it up with the adults in it. the prosecutor said they accepted that post was made in anger and not because of racism and was reckless. her defence lawyer said she had lived a quiet, sheltered life and had never been in trouble before. thejudge life and had never been in trouble before. the judge told life and had never been in trouble before. thejudge told her, he said, you should have looked at the news with horror like right minded people. it you stirred up hatred, it was a truly terrible threat was that he said no one was suggesting she would have taken part in any violence but so called keyboard warriors like her would have to learn to take responsibility for their inflammatory and disgusting
3:36 pm
language. the woman was jailed for 15 months. there are a number of prosecutions that have been carried out very swiftly as that violence soared. returing to the middle east now, and gaza's hamas run health ministry says at least 39,965 people have been killed and more than 92, 294 injured in the conflict. the health system is under extreme strain with only 16 of the 36 hospitals partially operational according to the un office for the co—ordination of humanitarian affairs. victoria rose and graeme groom are surgeons who've been working in the european gaza hospital in khan younis. theyjoin me now. thank you very much indeed for joining us. just tell us why you have felt the compulsion to be there and what are the conditions you are seeing at the moment?—

khan younis. let's focus now on the devastating war in sudan — as talks aimed at ending the conflict have begun today in switzerland. civilians in sudan are desperate for peace. injust over a year, more than 15,000 people have been killed and more than nine million driven from their homes. but the sudanese government, whose soldiers are fighting the paramilitary rapid support forces, is boycotting today's meeting in switzerland. for context, sudan is in north—east africa and even before the war began, it was one the poorest countries in the world. the conflict has seen particularly intense fighting in the capital khartoum, and in the western region of darfur — there have been warnings of genocide. let's speak to our correspondent in switzerland imogen foulkes. just tell us about these efforts to get some sort of negotiations going. things have been leading up to these

talks for quite some time. we've had preliminary talks injeddah, in saudi arabia. we've got a number of neighbouring countries, egypt, for example, the united arab emirates, the african union and the united nations all there. the talks are being sponsored by the united states. on the agenda is access for humanitarian aid, protection of civilians trying to flee and a kind of a ceasefire, perhaps temporary to begin with. unfortunately, these sudanese armed forces have indicated they will not come to switzerland. just be for i came on air, i was targeted a us diplomat who told me also unfortunately the rapid support forces travel to switzerland but now have decided not to go into the negotiation room. it is really a pretty sad state of affairs and hard

disney world says a man cannot sue it over the death of his wife because of terms he signed up to in a free trial of disney+ — and that the matter should be settled out of court. jeffrey piccolo filed a wrongful death lawsuit against disney after his wife died in 2023 from a severe allergic reaction after eating at a restaurant at the theme park. let's speak to our technology reporter graham fraser. explain the background to this.
3:47 pm
this is a remarkable story today coming out of the us. disney world is arguing that a man cannot sue it over the death of his wife after an incident at the theme park because of the terms and conditions he signed up to when he subscribed to a one month free trial of the disney+ streaming service, a service many people in the uk will have. the man has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against disney after his wife died. she passed away after suffering an allergic reaction after eating at the residence of the theme park in orlando in 2023. he says the restaurant hadn't taken enough care over the severe allergies she had to dairy and that's despite being told about them. he is suing disney for $50,000 plus the legal costs. mr piccolo once the course to be heard in front of a jury but disney are
3:48 pm
saying that because of his terms of use that he signed up, the small print, he has agreed, he signed up to, he is saying when he signed up to, he is saying when he signed up to the account in 2019, he must now settle the matter out of court. the entertainment company argues it cannot be taken to court because its terms and conditions at any user settle disputes through arbitration. arbitration is overseen by a mutual third party who is not a judge, it is quicker, cheaper and it is more private. disney has added mr piccolo accepted the terms of conditions a second time when he purchased tickets for the theme park in 2023. we will leave it there. thanks very much indeed. it's long been a favourite for creatives and comedians from across the globe to showcase and share their stories and ideas. now it seems a new kind of creator is taking to the stage at the edinburgh fringe — tiktokers. more content creators are taking their work

3:56 pm
of low pressure and its weather front as we head into thursday. it will be a wet and windy day for large parts of scotland, northern ireland and getting into northern and western england and wales. the midlands and into the southeast will see variable cloud, some sunshine. yes, it will be breezy here as well, but we could still be up to around 25 or 26 degrees here. but it's the high teens, low 20s elsewhere, closer to what we expect this time of year. that weather front spreads across the rest of england and wales as we move through thursday night. fairly quickly, i think, clears off into the near continent, but there's still some warm air across the southeast. further north, it will be a fresher start to friday. eventually, that weather front clears through. fresher air will prevail across the country, but it will be a fine day, i think, for many, with some good spells of sunshine. breezy with a few showers across scotland and northern ireland and these sorts of temperatures are what we expect this time of year, high teens in the north to the low to mid 20s further south. now, the weekend is looking pretty decent. it's going to be dry. lengthy spells of sunshine.
3:57 pm
it's because we're in between weather systems both saturday and sunday and a ridge of high pressure will bring light winds and a good deal of sunshine. just a few showers, perhaps, for the north west of scotland. so for saturday, then, a breezier day to come across northern areas, a bit more cloudy and maybe the odd shower the further south that you are across england and wales. we'll see more sunshine around and lighter winds. those temperatures reaching the mid 20s in the south. high teens, low 20s in the north. we do it all again on sunday. another fine day to come with plenty of sunshine. light winds further south, breezier for scotland and northern ireland and there will be a few showers grazing the northwest corner of scotland. again, those temperatures, high teens in the north to the mid 20s in the south.

hello, i'm geeta guru—murthy. ukraine says its troops have moved further into russian territory, despite denials from moscow. this video from ukrainian tv shows troops pulling down the russian flag in sudzha, and president zelensky says they have pushed one to two kilometres further into russia just since this morning. by contrast, russia said today that its forces had repelled attempts by ukrainian mobile units to push deeper into its territory. the governor of the russian border region of belgorod has declared a state of emergency, saying ukrainian shelling had made the situation there extremely difficult. this map shows just how rapid the advance has been in the past seven days, with ukraine claiming to have taken more territory in a week than russia has all year. ukraine says is creating a "security zone" in russia's kursk region in a bid to protect their own border areas. 0ur correspondent will vernon reports. the russian military has been busy
