prison overcrowding, as more people plead guilty to violent disorder during the recent riots. defendants won't be taken from police cells to court until there's a prison place ready for them as jails struggle to find enough space. also on the programme... seven people are missing, including four british tourists, after a yacht sinks off the coast of sicily. a four—week amnesty on machetes and zombie knives is announced in england and wales, before they're permanently banned next month. and analysts say household energy bills are expected to rise again in october by 9% to an average of £1,700 a year. and coming up on bbc news, what now for raheem sterling, who's asked for clarity on his role at chelsea after being left out of the squad that lost to manchester city.

good afternoon, and welcome to the bbc news at one. the government has activated emergency measures to ease prison overcrowding in parts of northern england and the midlands. operation early dawn means that defendants waiting to appear in court will be kept in police cells until a prison space is available for them. it comes as more people are sentenced for taking part in violent disorder across england and northern ireland earlier this month. lauren moss reports. protesters and rioters tore up the streets in parts of england and northern ireland earlier this month. with more than 1,000 people arrested for violent disorder, the government's announced another emergency measure to try and ease the pressure piling onto an already

creaking prison system. from today, operation early dawn will allow suspects to be kept in police cells until a prison space becomes available. it's to help deal with overcrowding after the government took what it called decisive action to tackle violent thuggery on our streets. the desire is to only have prisoners in police cells for a maximum of 2a hours. the police now have a decision to make, so if they can't all their prisoners from their cells this morning or this afternoon, then they need to decide, do we hold that prisoner for another 2a hours or 48 hours, hoping that they will be put in front of the magistrate so they can go into prison custody, or do we have to bail them? so in reality, the most serious offences will end up in court, we will guarantee them a prison cell, and the lesser offences, the police will decide do we hold onto them, or do we bail them? as of friday, there were 87,893 prisoners in england and wales, and just 1,350 spaces available.

over the last few weeks, 1,1a0 arrests have been made in connection with violent disorder and a74 people have been charged. hmp manchester is one of the largest and highest security male prisons in england, but this and others are nearly full. what operation early dawn will do is see prisons operate basically a one in, one out policy. as soon as one prisoner is released, another is sent to the courts to be sentenced. it could see prisoners from here and across the north west, the north east and the east and west midlands sent around the country. hundreds of additional places are already being made available, and the government's previously announced that from mid september and october, around 5,500 prisoners are expected to be released after serving 40% of their sentence. in a statement, the prisons and probation minister lord timpson said the labour government has inherited a justice system that is in crisis, and as a result,

has been forced into making difficult but necessary decisions. operation early dawn was previously activated in may by the conservatives to try and ease overcrowding. the ministry ofjustice has called this a temporary measure, but given no end date. and with no firm solution in sight to solve the crisis, it's unclear how long this emergency measure will be in place. lauren moss, bbc news. let's get more on this with our chief political correspondent henry zeffman who's at westminster. henry, this is a short term solution to a big problem for the government. how are they planning to tackle it? that's right, everyone in government today emphasising that this is a short—term measure that will be kept under constant review, although no sign of when or what sort of timeframe these measures might be lifted over. a short—term measure but a crisis, and that is the

government's word, a crisis that has been developing for a while. it was one of the first things the government talked about after getting into office injuly, announcing that some criminals would be released from prison after serving just 40% of their sentence, down from 50%. that hasn't taken effect yet, it will begin to take effect yet, it will begin to take effect in september and could mean around 5000 prisoners released from prisons in september and october. i think the government will be hoping that in the medium term that will begin to ease some of the overcrowding in prisons. in the long term the government can do all sorts of other things. in their manifesto they suggested a sentencing review. their new prisons minister has suggested fewer people should be in prison. but right now, in the grip of this acute short—term crisis, the long term feel a very long way away. thank you, henry zeffman. seven people are missing, including four british tourists, after a yacht sank off the coast of sicily. one body has been recovered

by the coastguard who rescued 15 other people. our correspondent tom symonds has the latest. the superyacht bayesian, safely anchored off the shore of sicily last night with clouds gathering. at 4am local time at the storm hit this nearby town. eyewitnesses watching the bay saw a water spout drawn up by the wind. the bayesian, with 12 guests and ten staff on board was in trouble. a trawler captain watched from his boat nearby. the trouble. a trawler captain watched from his boat nearby.— from his boat nearby. the other shi - , 55 from his boat nearby. the other ship, 55 metres, _ from his boat nearby. the other ship, 55 metres, i— from his boat nearby. the other ship, 55 metres, i think, - from his boat nearby. the other ship, 55 metres, i think, 72 - from his boat nearby. the other. ship, 55 metres, i think, 72 metre long mast. it went flat on the water and then down. with the light we saw the ship was aside, and then we saw a triangle, so i think it went back and down. , a triangle, so i think it went back and down-— a triangle, so i think it went back. and down._ yes, a triangle, so i think it went back - and down._ yes, and

been struck and damaged by ukrainian troops in the kursk region. ukraine's president zelensky says his forces want to create a buffer zone on russian territory, two weeks in to their incursion across the border. america's top diplomat, the secretary of state antony blinken, says now is the best and maybe the last chance to achieve a ceasefire in gaza. he met the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu this morning, as he continues to push both israel and hamas to agree to a bridging proposal put forward by the us. but gaps between what the two sides want still remain. our state department correspondent tom bateman is travelling with mr blinken. antony blinken�*s message to the israeli leader is to take a deal now. the time for trying to get even more out of the talks, say the americans, is over. this is the us secretary of state's ninth visit since october the 7th, and washington wants the ceasefire deal done by as soon as next week. but mr netanyahu for one is digging

in, saying he insists the truce sees israel keep boots on the ground in strategic parts of gaza. hamas says that is not in the us framework, and means no end to the war. each side accuses the other of blocking a breakthrough. good morning, mr secretary. welcome again to israel. meeting the israeli president this morning, mr blinken stressed a sense of urgency. this is a decisive moment. probably the best, maybe the last opportunity to get hostages home, to get a ceasefire and to put everyone on a better path to enduring peace and security. i'm here as part of an intensive diplomatic effort on president biden's instructions to try to get this agreement to the line and ultimately over the line. it is time for it to get done. antony blinken�*s style is not the diplomatic arm wrench, and so far the americans can't point to that many cases in this war

where they have applied pressure on the israelis and got them to change course in the way that washington has really wanted. and now the test is even greater. to persuade mr netanyahu to say yes to bringing this war to an end on the terms available now. around the time mr blinken arrived in tel aviv last night, a bomb went off in the city, wounding one person and killing the perpetrator. hamas and islamichhad have taken responsibility, and are threatening a return of suicide bombings if israel doesn't end its attacks on gaza. israeli police haven't confirmed whether it was a suicide attack. while in gaza, another journalist was wounded, hit by shrapnel as she documented israel's expended invasion israel's expanded invasion into the city of khan younis. it followed palestinian reports that a further 21 people, including six children and their mother, were killed

in israeli air strikes yesterday. the sound of american diplomacy isn't being heard on the destroyed streets of gaza, and the humanitarian disaster is deepening. the un is now calling for a pause in the fighting to stem an outbreak of polio, with gaza's first case in many years confirmed last week. as this ceasefire deal hangs in the balance, american firepower is again roaming the waters of these shores. the waters off these shores. there, says mr blinken, to deter threats by iran or lebanese hezbollah. his tour of de—escalation diplomacy continues with egypt tomorrow. the risk of even wider war remains on the horizon. tom bateman, bbc news, tel aviv. our middle east correspondent yolande knell is injerusalem. yolande, will this latest visit by antony blinken change things?

we had a long meeting that took place between antony blinken and the israeli prime minister. it went on for about three hours but the statement that came from the prime minister's office afterwards didn't give much away, saying simply these talks were positive and conducted in a good spirit. if you looked at israeli public opinion that there has been broad support for the israeli war goals in gaza, for this idea of dismantling hamas. at the same time, a lot of public sympathy for the hostages who remain there and for theirfamilies. we have had some of those hostage families taking to the airwaves, really calling on the government to show greater flexibility. calling on the government to show greaterflexibility. on calling on the government to show greater flexibility. on the palestinian side, more than 40,000 palestinians have been killed in gaza during this war according to the hamas run health ministry. you still have israeli military offensive is going on there. for people in these soaring temperatures

there is a lack of clean water, a lack of food and conditions are really desperate, people really want the war to end but at the same time the war to end but at the same time the signals we are getting from both israel and hamas is that a deal will be difficult. ., . israel and hamas is that a deal will be difficult-— be difficult. yolande knell, thank ou. a knife amnesty will be launched across england and wales next week before the law changes to make zombie—style blades illegal. they are already banned, but a loophole means they can still be sold if they don't have images or words depicting violence on their handles. the latest figures for england and wales show that more than 240 people died as a result of knife crime in the year leading up tojune 2023. our reporter ellie price has more. this is exactly what the government is trying to put an end to. this attack in south london was filmed in 2018. the weapon, a so—called zombie knife. from next week, a four—week amnesty means people can legally hand in machetes and these zombie—style knives, the sort increasingly

linked to violent crime. they had already been banned, but a loophole meant they could be kept and sold if they didn't have images depicting violence on their handles. that will now change, and from september 24th anyone found with one will face jail time. kiyan prince was stabbed to death as he tried to break up a fight outside a school in north london in 2006. he was just 15. his killer was 16. his father, who now campaigns to change the life chances of young people, says the government's plans don't go far enough. we are talking about symptoms for the last how many years. let's deal with the cause. my child got stabbed with a camping knife. somebody else's child got stabbed with a kitchen knife. someone else with a zombie knife. is that important? that's the symptoms of it. let's deal with what's going on in the minds of young people and in our society,

and why isn't the people from the top down actually putting a strategy together. stay where you are! police across the country are now dealing with knife crime on a daily basis. weapon found! the government says it wants to halve such violence within a decade and says it will take further action to stop young people being drawn into crime. the policing minister, diana johnson, said... most people are afraid, if you find a gun or you find one of them long knives, what do you actually do with it? do you go and bury it in the garden? but then somebody might find it. you know, and all this anxiety goes on in people's minds as well. so i think, yes, having amnesties, they are useful, they do help, but it doesn't solve the root problem, but it does help.

figures from last year show in around 18% of cases the offenders were aged between just ten and 17. the amnesty may be a start but police say it won't be the only solution to end this problem. ellie price, bbc news. a woman has been stabbed to death and a man and a teenage girl have been seriously injured in greater manchester. police were called to a house in gorton last night where the three had been attacked. a 22—year—old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder. the london fire brigade's most senior officer has said that people living in grenfell tower were instructed to "stay put for too long", as flames spread around the building. commissioner andy roe, who revoked the advice on the night, acknowledged it would have had "an impact on people's decision making". the public inquiry�*s final report into the disaster is due to be released on the 4th of september. and doug beattie has resigned as leader of the ulster unionist party. in a statement, he cited

"irreconcilable differences" between him and party officers. mr beattie took over as leader of the party in may 2021. energy bills are likely to rise again this winter. on friday the regulator ofgem will announce its latest price cap, which controls what companies can charge for gas and electricity. ben boulos has been looking at what that means for customers. there may have been a bit of relief over the summer, but that's all about to change, with gas and electricity prices rising injust a couple of months from now. the energy price cap is set by the regulator, ofgem, every three months and covers around 28 million households in england, wales and scotland. the energy specialists cornwall insight have just released their latest prediction that under the next price cap, average household energy bills will rise to around £1,714 a year from this october. we'll get official confirmation of the price cap covering the october to december period this

friday, and there's a warning that bills may never fall back to the level they were at before the pandemic. now, if the analyst's prediction is correct, and they normally get it pretty accurate, we're looking at a 9% increase on current average energy bills. remember, the price cap doesn't limit the overall bill. it sets the maximum price that suppliers can charge for each unit of gas and electricity on a standard tariff for a dual fuel household paying by direct debit. your total bill will depend on how much energy you actually use. now these are the predicted average maximum unit prices from october, but even this varies depending on where you live. until last year, there had been temporary government support to pay bills due to those high wholesale energy prices following russia's invasion of ukraine. prices have been falling, and so the price cap has mirrored those drops — until now.

with an increase in bills on the horizon for many, is it a good time to fix a rate with your energy provider, meaning your bills are no longer tied to the price cap and you know what you'll be paying each month? at uswitch, we are seeing some good fixes in the market where you can fix around or below the level that it looks like the price cap from october is going to go. so if you want that level of certainty as a customer, it is a good time to look at those options. it's important to remember, though, just because it's a fix doesn't mean it's a good price fix. so you do have to run a comparison and see what's available to you, and look at the prices relative to where the price cap might go. yes, so while fixing can provide certainty, it doesn't necessarily guarantee lower prices in the short term. research shows that switching away from a tariff based on the current price cap would save just e5 on average a year. uswitch says the days of switching your energy supplier

on a regular basis to get the best and cheapest deal is probably now a thing of the past, because the price cap has been changing so often. we'll get the official confirmation from ofgem on friday, but these estimates from cornwall insight give us an idea of how much our bills are likely to rise. those experts are saying the current level of energy bills is likely to be the new normal. the time is1:20. our top story this afternoon. emergency measures have been brought in to stop prison overcrowding as more people plead guilty to violent disorder during the recent riots. the liberal democrats call for vat to be scrapped on high—factor sunscreen, to try to make the products cheaper. coming up on bbc news, erling haaland stars for manchester city yet again as they get their title defence off with a bang. we look at the big talking points from the opening weekend of the premier league.

the childrens' commissioner for england says too many strip—searches of children are "unnecessary, unsafe and under—reported". figures gathered by dame rachel de souza show that over five years one happened every 14 hours in england and wales, and black children are disproportionately affected. our uk correspondent adina campbell reports. when the news broke of what happened to child 0, there were protests around the country. the 15—year—old black girl was strip searched by police at school in east london after wrongly suspecting she was carrying drugs. we are all deeply hurt, for you, child o, for your mother and your family. no appropriate adult was present during the intimate search, and the teenager was also on her period. a new report from england's children's commissioner has now found police strip searched a child

every 14 hours in england and wales over five years. there were more than 3,000 intimate searches of children, in new data gathered from all police forces between 2018 and 2023. one in 20 failed statutory codes of practice. and almost half of these searches led to no further action. i want the home office to publish this data so that we can actually ask these questions, and as a matter of course these questions are asked. i mean, clearly these things have been slipping under the radar and procedures have not been followed properly and it's not good enough. this mum i spoke to in the south of england says her son was strip searched by police in custody when he was 14. he was strip searched and then left naked in the cell. it's sexual abuse of a child. this is happening to mainly marginalised black children. he was arrested on suspicion of possessing cannabis,

and claims it was a small amount for personal use. now in his 20s, he's been left with long—term trauma. the home office says no child should ever be strip searched without an appropriate adult, unless there's a serious risk of harm to themselves or others. nor should they ever be conducted on the basis of their race and ethnicity. even though this new report shows there are lower numbers of strip searches overall, and better safeguarding referrals by police, black children are still four times more likely to be strip searched than the overall child population. while some progress has been made, there's still a long way to go when it comes to policing, particularly confidence in policing from black communities. most of the families i've spoken to over the years say they're simply too scared to speak out about their experiences, over fears they'll become

even more of a target. child safety campaigners want to see an end to strip searches and say better safeguarding is needed for black children. if we are strip searching young people, and it's disproportionately against young people who are from african and caribbean backgrounds, then we are not looking at the root causes. if we take a no strip search approach, then we have to look at other options. nojustice, no peace! the national police chiefs' council says it accepts the report's recommendations and will be reviewing training as well as strengthening codes of practice when it comes to strip searches involving children. adina campbell, bbc news. kamala harris and her running mate tim walz are in chicago today for the start of the democratic national convention. it's where she'll be formally confirmed as the party's presidential candidate during four days of speeches and vip speakers. our correspondent emma vardy is there.

champions welcome, fitting for the sporting venue in which this is all taking place behind me here. it comes after some tumultuous month in us politics. joe biden and his remarkable decision to pull out, donald trump surviving his assassination attempt. but democrats feel they have the momentum. the question is, can she cement it? catchy talk over the heads of the delegates here to the country as a whole? because although she has narrowed the gap, the polls are still very close, and challenges too within the democrats' own base with protesters demanding she take a much tougher line with israel and its war on gaza. ., ~ i. tougher line with israel and its war on gaza. ., ~ g ., there's a call for vat to be scrapped on high—factor sunscreen, to try and make the products cheaper. it's come from the liberal democrats as part of their plan to improve cancer treatment and wait times in england. our reporter leigh milner has more. when the sun comes out, so too should the sun cream, and it should be as cheap as possible.

that's according to the liberal democrats, who say scrapping vat on high factor suncream will make it more affordable. it comes after the party contacted 49 nhs trusts to find out how many patients were on waiting lists for skin cancer treatment. the figures show that around 38,000 patients were on an nhs waiting list to start treatment for skin cancer between 2023 and this year. that's up 25% compared to figures recorded between 2019 and 2020. we know that sunscreen in particular is very expensive, and during a cost of living crisis, it's the kind of item that some people will decide to go without. and i think by scrapping vat, that would reduce the cost, and therefore make it more affordable to people who do want to protect their skin by using these high factor protective sunscreens. the party is also calling on ministers to recruit more cancer nurses to support patients throughout their treatment. we are spending a lot of time

working with primary care providers to provide them with specialist training and support from senior people in the field, so that they are better equipped to help their patients begin that journey as early as possible. the department of health and social care told the bbc too many cancer patients are waiting too long for treatment, and it's determined to change that by hitting all nhs cancer waiting times within the next five years. leigh milner, bbc news. the title of funniestjoke at the edinburgh fringe festival has been announced. "i was going to sail around the globe in the world's smallest ship, but i bottled it." it belongs to mark simmons, he tells it slightly better than me, and these are his tips for writing your own. there's so many different styles of one—liner. so with this joke, it's a nice bit of wordplay. some jokes, it's all about taking people down one way and then doing a twist, and then the twist will surprise them,

makes people laugh. but i think the bestjokes, it's when it creates an image in your head, i mean, they're the bestjokes, where you can really visualise what's happening. i will take those tips on board! a reminder of our top headline this afternoon. emergency measures have been brought in to stop prison overcrowding — as more people plead guilty to violent disorder during the recent riots. and the fine for taking a child out of school without permission goes up today from 60 to 80 pounds per pupil, per parent. we'll have a full forecast in the next half hour, but it's time now for a quick look at the weather. here's elizabeth. some really curious colours in our skies at the moment, and you might have heard of all the wildfires raging in the americas at the moment. some of the smoke has made its way into our atmosphere, and the

way that those particles scatter the light mean that we get more red and orange, making that sunshine really quite hazy this morning. this was the moon last night with a beautiful red tone. it is a full moon tonight, but will the skies be clear enough to see it? i will have the full forecast later, it is going to be really quite unsettled. thank you. it's exactly three weeks since three young girls were stabbed about the suspect�*s identity led to a week of violent disorder across parts of england and northern ireland. tonight, disturbing new footage of the rioting will be broadcast on bbc panorama, as darragh macintyre reports. this was where the rioting began. a mob attacking southport mosque. more than 50 police officers were injured protecting the building. so here you can see, this is where the entrance is.

ibrahim hussain and seven others were trapped inside as a crowd broke into the grounds. obviously the door was locked. i tried to take photographs from here, but they can see the shadow and it was targeted. that was terrifying. violent disturbances spread to other towns and cities. panorama has obtained this cctv footage showing the terrifying moment a mob arrived on a street in middlesbrough. it's in a town where all the not white people live. just about every house down here has had windows smashed. very frightened, yeah? yes. yeah, ok. well, thank you, love.

thanks very much. stay safe. there's something very, very ugly and nasty, looking up and down this street. one family whose home was attacked agreed to speak to me on camera. hiya, how you doing? thanks very much. this is what we are left with. i was coming out from the kitchen. ijust heard the sound of the glass smashing there. i thought he was going tojump into the house. you could see him? yes. he pulled the curtain, used the curtain to wrap his hand. we were scared because the window was open. we were scared that they would come in. the kids were shouting, they were crying. any time there is a knock on the door, they will think something bad was to happen. why middlesbrough? why now? the people of middlesbrough have every reason to feel angry and frustrated. they've lived a life in which things

have been gradually getting worse for them and people like them. it's not an explanation for why people become violent and destructive, but it is a crucial context for understanding what's happened. people on the far right, they can immediately point and say, the reason why you're all suffering and you're all poor is because we've had a huge influx of foreigners who are taking yourjobs, who are pushing you down, further down the social scale. it's very easy to demonise that group. of course, that's just a standard scapegoating mechanism. more than 1,000 people have been arrested. dozens have already been jailed. the average sentence, two years, three months. more arrests are expected. darragh macintyre, bbc news. you can watch panorama: the riots that shocked the country tonight at 8pm on bbc one.

still to come on today's programme. former rugby union player ed slater and his teammate billy twelvetrees start a 350—mile journey to raise money for families affected by motor neurone disease. first it's time to join our colleagues with the news where you are. hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm tanya arnold. does raheem sterling have a future at chelsea after he was left out of the squad that lost to manchester city. as erling haaland stars for the champions — we look at the big talking points from the opening weekend of the premier league and it's deja vu for alex yee who repeats his olympic win over hayden wilde.

good afternoon. what now for raheem sterling who was left out of the chelsea squad that lost their opening premier league game of the season 2—0 to manchester city. moments after the team news was announced, his representatives put out a statement saying they wanted "clarity" over his role at the club. it's likley to be a continuing theme for new manager, enzo maresca, who currently has a squad of more than forty players. well, earlier our football reporter nizaar kinsella, told us he can't see a future for sterling at chelsea. there's going to be huge tension now until august the 30th when the transfer window closes, because, until then i could see him being frozen out entirely based on what we saw the other day, what we've heard the manager say, calling it a technical decision to leave out raheem sterling. but then there's the other question of where does he go? is he going to actually leave?

are club's going to bid for him? are they going to pay his huge wages? that's going to be a major question, and ifeel like the answer could be no. i could see that chelsea are trying to push him out, but they failed to get him out because there's a lack of interest in paying those £300,000 a week wages and a transfer fee on top of that. so, yeah, i could see him being there after the transfer window closes. and then it's up to enzo maresca. do i reintegrate this guy or do i keep him out on the fringes? he's not the only player who's likely to be unhappy, is he? with a squad of more than 40 and you can't keep them all happy? yeah. i mean, how do you do that? how do you keep this many players happy? there's several of them training in a separate loan group. people like romelu lukaku kepa arrizabalaga. these are major international stars who are not involved anywhere near the first team squad. and then you've got certain other ones, like conor gallagher and trevoh chalobah, who are way out on the fringes as well, maybe training alone. and carney chukwuemeka as well. he was also left out because of a technical decision. and then there are questions

about ben chilwell and england international. what's his future at the club? huge doubts about that. so the oversized squad squad has created problems notjust for raheem sterling but a host of other players. and yes, they showed that they can get 11 good players out on the pitch against manchester city. chelsea played pretty well despite defeat. but it's the number 40. the number 40 that's a problem and a worry because they've got too many players. everybody�*s a little puzzled by the transfer policy inside chelsea. do you think there is a plan? there is a plan, but maybe the plan is a little bit lacking that human touch. and we're seeing that issues roll out like this, but they are putting together a decent squad. it is a young squad. and they believe they can finish in the top four and maybe win a trophy this season. so manchester city got their title defence off to a winning start at chelsea's expense, and erling haarland was on the score sheet yet again! liverpool started life afterjurgen klopp with three points, and brentford won without ivan toney whose future

seems to lie elsewhere. here's adam cottier with some of the big talking points from the opening weekend of the premier league. a new season and a new season and new a new season and new faces in the premier league. for some, a new season and new faces in the premier league. forsome, remind us of their quality. namely, erling haaland. off the mark for manchester city with a 54 premier league goal. it was the first game back. i think we did a really solid performance. you know, all praised the defenders and midfielders. they did in amazing game, keeping the ball for us, and just saying come and playing. it is amazing to see. this just saying come and playing. it is amazing to see.— just saying come and playing. it is amazing to see. this manager fared better than enzo _ amazing to see. this manager fared better than enzo maresca, - amazing to see. this manager fared better than enzo maresca, no - amazing to see. this manager fared better than enzo maresca, no seller inspired them with a promoted ipswich as the post—juergen klopp era began. ipswich as the post-juergen klopp era bean. �* ., , ., ipswich as the post-juergen klopp era bean. �* ., _, , era began. before i started, people said there is _ era began. before i started, people said there is no _ era began. before i started, people said there is no easy _ era began. before i started, people said there is no easy game - era began. before i started, people said there is no easy game in - era began. before i started, people said there is no easy game in the i said there is no easy game in the premier league. today showed this. if you are a newly promoted club.

they can give you so much resistance. it shows you how tough it is to win games over here. arsenal missed out on the premier league title by only two points last season, a 2—0 win over wolves earmarked their intention to go one better, this time around. turn it is always a tricky first game. you get this response. and go back to the premier league.

now, the euros may have come and gone, but not to worry, as a world cup is about to kick off. this one though is for the over 70s. the veterans world cup begins tomorrow in cardiff with teams from around the world. richard gentle from romford is on the england team and we've been to meet him. i am absolutely looking forward to it, yeah. when you put that shirt on with the three lions on it, you are representing your country. the pride and the dignity that you have when you put it on is unbelievable. even now, i can feel the hairs on the back of my neck standing up. it's three leagues of five teams

from all around the world. it will be two games a day for the first two days. the third day will be the teams that get through the quarterfinals and semifinals. and the friday will be the final. normal football rules. it's not walking football. this is properfootball where you're running about on a 11—a—side pitch with all the same rules and all the same things that spurs had a fantastic season, they finished fifth in the table. it will be a tough test for both sides. it isn't going to be an easy game. the crown will be up for it,... it is a tough test for us, but at the same time we are trying to get off to a positive start in the primary league. that is all we are going to be trying to do. it is league. that is all we are going to be trying to de— be trying to do. it is an exciting challenge. _ be trying to do. it is an exciting challenge. i— be trying to do. it is an exciting challenge, i knew _ be trying to do. it is an exciting challenge, i knew what - be trying to do. it is an exciting challenge, i knew what it - be trying to do. it is an exciting challenge, i knew what it was l be trying to do. it is an exciting i challenge, i knew what it was and what _ challenge, i knew what it was and what we _ challenge, i knew what it was and what we wanted to do. and like i said, _ what we wanted to do. and like i said. it _ what we wanted to do. and like i said. it has — what we wanted to do. and like i said, it has been good preseason. manchester city have signed bristol city was relegated from the wsi last

season, . .. season,... she sustained a significant ankle injury which required surgery. she onlyjust returned to the squad after representing team gb at the summer olympics. she won the most recent of her 21 caps in the grand slam ceiling victory over france in april. now, while many of the team to be's olympians were celebrating at last night's homecoming concert in manchester, it was back to work for alex yi and incredibly he repeated his power to write an almost identical fashion. repeated his power to write an almost identicalfashion. with seconds to go in the opening at the race in boston. the new zealander was clearly unhappy, perhaps at the cold as ice celebration. after winning three medals for australia in the paris olympics, richardson

will now represent great britain. he was born in kent but moved to australia at the age of nine. he said it had been a difficult decision but a personal choice made after careful consideration of his career and future. you will be part of britain's sprint squad. richardson won two silvers and a bronze at paris 2024. aryna sabalenka finally got the better of world number one iga swiatek, to reach the final of the cincinnati open. sabalenka missed wimbledon with a shoulder injury and she's lost two masters finals to swiatek already this season. but despite needing 11 match points — and over and hour and a half on court, she won in straight sets. she'll take onjessica pugla for the title. top seed jannik sinner will face frances tiafoe in the men's final. sinner outlasted alexander zverev in a marathon contest, winning in three sets in a match lasting more than three hours.

that's a four—match winning streak for him against zverev and it gives him a chance to win his fifth title of the season — which would be the most on tour. you can follow all the latest on that story and the rest of the sports news on the bbc sport website and app — but from all of us here, for now, goodbye. we set dozens of foreign workers may have been trafficked to work for a small scottish fishing company. an eight year period. they were employed by t n trawlers and the sister company based in dumfriesshire. the company has denied allegations of modern slavery and said workers were well treated. we have this report. iltkui’hat
