6:30 pm
moon in some places tonight. this is what it looked like last night for a weather watcher in north yorkshire. tonight might be more of a challenge, because of all this, this shield of cloud you can see on the earlier satellite image, which has brought some outbreaks of rain today. ahead of that, early clear sky across the south—east corner could give you a chance to glimpse the super moon, and later, clear skies into the west, albeit with showers. outbreaks of rain for many of us to take us through the night. a pretty warm and muggy night down towards the south—east corner, 17 for norwich and london. cooler and fresher further for norwich and london. cooler and fresherfurther north for norwich and london. cooler and fresher further north and west. tomorrow morning, a bit of rain across the south—east corner first thing, which were clear to a mix of sunshine and showers, some showers will be heavy and thundery, particularly towards the north and west of the uk. it will also be a pretty windy day, wind is actually increasing in strength through the afternoon across northern ireland, parts of south—west scotland and north—west england, and temperatures just 1a for stornoway, perhaps up to
6:31 pm
23 in norwich. no great shakes for this time of year, really. and for mid week, this area of low pressure on the other side of the atlantic is hurricane ernesto. it won't be a hurricane as it makes its journey eastwards stop they will be weakening, but the remnants of this storm system giving an injection of moisture into this front for the middle of the week. so particularly across the north and west, unseasonably wet and windy weather. they could even regales around some coast. not as much rain further south at least, and that is one of the themes of this week, because as you can see, the north and east accumulating a lot of rain, not quite as wet further south and is. thanks, ben. and that's bbc news at six. you can keep up with all the latest developments on bbc website. now it's time to join our colleagues for the news where you are. hello and welcome to sportsday —

from the weekend? there weren't any shock results, last season's top four all won — manchester city, arsenal, liverpool and aston villa — but there were still plenty of talking points. with the transfer window open for another 11 days, managers are still shaping their squads, players finding out if they are wanted, either by another club, or in the case of raheem sterling, their own. he missed the cut this weekend as enzo maresca tackled the stamford bridge conundrum for the first time, how to keep a a2—man squad happy. adam cottier reports left out by england, i know seem mikasa side byjosie, raheem sterling curries at the crossroads. so time. i shall see his light is faded and his representatives are seen for clarity on the situation in a statement released shortly before yesterday's game. what now for
6:34 pm
sterling, who turns 30 in december? it sounds like a player who would not be payment for chelsea if it's on the season, very strange situation there, the fact that his agents are coming out with the statement. he is nowhere near the game. i would statement. he is nowhere near the game. iwould not statement. he is nowhere near the game. i would not be surprised if he is not moved on before the end of the transfer window.— the transfer window. scrutiny of josie's transfer _ the transfer window. scrutiny of josie's transfer policies - the transfer window. scrutiny ofj josie's transfer policies intense, josie's transfer policies intense, according to their club website, they have more than 41st—team players and sterling is not the only one with a future in question. conor gallagher and ben chilwell also appeared to be onjosie's roster of the unwanted. for appeared to be on josie's roster of the unwanted.— appeared to be on josie's roster of the unwanted. ., ., ., , the unwanted. for all the moments in this moment — the unwanted. for all the moments in this moment are _ the unwanted. for all the moments in this moment are just _ the unwanted. for all the moments in this moment are just the _ the unwanted. for all the moments in this moment are just the pair, - the unwanted. for all the moments in this moment are just the pair, if - this moment are just the pair, if they— this moment are just the pair, if they want— this moment are just the pair, if they want to be chelsea player, we are going _ they want to be chelsea player, we are going to use them but no more than taking — are going to use them but no more than taking a decision.— than taking a decision. close by at branford, ivan _ than taking a decision. close by at branford, ivan toney's _ than taking a decision. close by at branford, ivan toney's furrier - than taking a decision. close by at branford, ivan toney's furrier stayj branford, ivan toney's furrier stay with thomas frank's team seems to be coming to a conclusion. he was less of the described as a beat crystal
6:35 pm
palace, with the manager acknowledging his interest is obstruction. do you expect him to still be i here after the transfer window, given what's going on? that's a good question. let's see, let's see. i simply don't know. tra nsfer transfer deadline day have been reasonably quiet in recent times, but with so many players are uncertain of their futures, the one a week on friday might have a few more talking points. let's get the latest now on that raheem sterling situation at chelsea. our senior football reporter nizaar kinsella joins us
6:36 pm
raheem sterling finds himself of in a big chelsea pond, he has thrown his primes oats in that situation, what is a situation as you understand it?— what is a situation as you understand it? , ., ., , understand it? the situation is he is in limbo, _ understand it? the situation is he is in limbo, chelsea _ understand it? the situation is he is in limbo, chelsea are _ understand it? the situation is he is in limbo, chelsea are attractivej is in limbo, chelsea are attractive push them out and build a market and find a place for him to go to because they need to sell some players, and they are making these brutal decisions around various players, raheem sterling being maybe the most famous of them but conor gallagher might leave for atletico madrid after chelsea agreed a fee forjoe felix as well and several others as well were left out, ben chilwell, certainly, his future be in question, but can they get raheem sterling out? he has on £300,000 a week, also needs to be paid a transfer fee, week, also needs to be paid a transferfee, and i'm thinking which clubs could he go to mum and only so few that could paper him at that sort of level in world football, they are in saudi arabia, england, but his pay for half of the english clubs, but a handful in europe as
6:37 pm
well, and you are thinking with any of them make a bid for him before a deadline date? thejury of them make a bid for him before a deadline date? the jury is out and he mightjust sit tight and try to collect that wage and adhere to his contract. it collect that wage and adhere to his contract. , ., contract. it is nothing quite -- it is a think— contract. it is nothing quite -- it is a think quite _ contract. it is nothing quite -- it is a think quite a _ contract. it is nothing quite -- it is a think quite a few _ contract. it is nothing quite -- it is a think quite a few chelsea . is a think quite a few chelsea players in the situation of surplus to requirements, and you touch on it there, the breaking chelsea news over the last 30 minutes or so, because you know that they need to get players off their wage bill, but this seems slightly counterintuitive, good news for colour garaga —— conor gallagher if they can off—load them but they have to bring joe felix back the other way. to bring joe felix back the other wa . ., . to bring joe felix back the other wa , ., ., ., to bring joe felix back the other wa . ., ., ., ., ., way. you are right and another -la er way. you are right and another player into _ way. you are right and another player into the _ way. you are right and another player into the mix _ way. you are right and another player into the mix as - way. you are right and another player into the mix as well - way. you are right and another| player into the mix as well with way. you are right and another- player into the mix as well with joe player into the mix as well withjoe felix, he was there in 2023 chelsea, sort of underwhelming and that spells but chelsea have had to do a deal with atletico madrid to get conor gallagher also the club, they want to consider them, not because they do not think he is talented,
6:38 pm
thatis they do not think he is talented, that is less than one year on his contract and they want to cash in on the transfer fee which will have them keep spending, so they have ended up spending —— selling gallagher, and having to do a deal with atletico madrid for a player and it turns out to bejoao felix, i know one reason why it is him is because it deals collapse for another player, a striker, that collapse, and it allows conor gallagher to leave who was pictured at the atletico madrid stadium nine years ago, a remarkable story that may be suppressing the raheem sterling story we have had in the past two days. it sterling story we have had in the past two deve— past two days. it would be interesting, _ past two days. it would be interesting, nizaar - past two days. it would be | interesting, nizaar kinsella past two days. it would be - interesting, nizaar kinsella are a senior football reporter. to this evening's game at the king power stadium, leicester have come staright back up after winning the championship last season, steve cooper is now in charge after enzo maresca joined chelsea. ange postecoglu is going into his second season at spurs, they were top after ten games last

6:40 pm
expectations regarding leicester city westmark they had that massive high of winning the championship and have been rebuilding for their premier league, a new arrivaljust today from spurs. premier league, a new arrival 'ust today from spursi premier league, a new arrival 'ust today from spurs. funny how that has worked, today from spurs. funny how that has worked. oliver _ today from spurs. funny how that has worked, oliver skipp _ today from spurs. funny how that has worked, oliver skipp signed _ today from spurs. funny how that has worked, oliver skipp signed a - worked, oliver skipp signed a reported £20 million, surprise surprise not allowed to play against his now former club. so far, as expectations, they are remarkably low considering theyjust got promoted and in the fashion they did, i have never seen the euphoria of promotion evaporate quite so quickly as i have with leicester city this summer. some is noncertified that they have lost their manager, enzo maresca, to chelsea, and some dented appointments after of steve cooper which is under one lots of leicester city finds. he knows how to keep a team in the premier league, he did it would not in them for us, but therein lies the problem, why this is a rivalry between parts and leicester city, they don't like each
6:41 pm
other, so lots of optimism, and then you throw on top there is a sleeping undertone of that potential points deduction for allegedly reaching financial fairplay spending rules, so not a lot of optimism, i wouldn't say, about the season amongst the leicester city fan base, at least at the moment. i leicester city fan base, at least at the moment-— leicester city fan base, at least at the moment. ~ ., ., , , the moment. i know about spurs, they lasted last season _ the moment. i know about spurs, they lasted last season like _ the moment. i know about spurs, they lasted last season like a _ the moment. i know about spurs, they lasted last season like a train? - lasted last season like a train? dominic solanke their big signing for the summer who could be in line for the summer who could be in line for a w? i for the summer who could be in line for a w? ., ~' for the summer who could be in line fora w? ., ~ for the summer who could be in line for a w? ., ~ ,., ., for the summer who could be in line foraw? ., ~ ., , for a w? i would think so, that is what their— for a w? i would think so, that is what their manager _ for a w? i would think so, that is what their manager with - for a w? i would think so, that is what their manager with hope i for a w? i would think so, that is| what their manager with hope for for a w? i would think so, that is - what their manager with hope for and what their manager with hope for and what their manager with hope for and what the tightest in them find base with hope for, joining in the summer for six if £5 million, one of the signings that seems to make sense. and popsicle blue this week somewhat cited —— tongue—in—cheek says he usually wins trophies in a second season in charge of clubs, this being his second season in charge at tottenham, and there is optimism among the tottenham find base and
6:42 pm
pessimism amongst the leicester city fan base, but personally, i am optimistic there were the this evening, 28 goals in the five meetings between leicester city and spurs. meetings between leicester city and surs. �* ., ., spurs. and we have more in the programme _ spurs. and we have more in the programme later. _ a partick thistle player who suffered a seizure following a head injury had to wait three hours for an ambulance yesterday. courtney stewart was treated on the pitch ten minutes into their game against rangers in the scottish women's premier league. it was a two o'clock kick—off at rangers broadwood stadium, but it wasn't until five o'clock that an ambulance took her to hospital. in the tenth minute with a really serious head injury in the middle of the past and she still laying in the medical first the past and she still laying in the medicalfirst aid room the past and she still laying in the medical first aid room waiting for an ambulance, i don't think it is unacceptable but thank you for the medical staff that was here, there been brilliant, but i don't think we'll get in a really serious head
6:43 pm
injury in the men's game, my peers still there in the medical room. courtney stewart was given the all clear at around ten o'clock last night and allowed to return home. and the scottish ambulance service has sent us this statement... "we would like to apologise for the delay and for any distress caused to the patient. "unfortunately, at the time of the call we were experiencing pressure on our services due to high demand and protracted turnaround times at hospitals. "a clinical adviser kept in regular contact with the patient, and we hope she is recovering well." let's have a quick look at some of the other stories making the headlines today. sandro tonali could make his newcastle return at nottingham forest in the second round of the league cup next week. the midfielder�*s10—month ban for breaching betting rules comes to an end on the 28th august. that date has been confirmed for the tie against forest after winning three medals for australia at the paris olympics, track cyclist matt richardson has switched his alliegience to great britain. richardson was born in kent
6:44 pm
but moved to western australia at the age of nine, but maintained dual citizenship for the past 16 years. wout van aert has kept the leader's red jersey at the vuelta a espana by winning stage three. yesterday he finished second behind kaden groves, this time he beat the australian, and got to celebrate the win. he now leads the race overall by 13 seconds. england start their test series against sri lanka on wednesday at old trafford. they've already named their starting 11, with seamer matthew potts coming in for the injured skipper ben stokes whilst dan lawrence comes in for the injured zak crawley. here's our sports correspondentjoe wilson well, i know you're still digesting the hundred, but the next three weeks are an important window for test match cricket and an england team significantly disrupted by injury. now, the squad that gathered here at old trafford captained, of course, by ollie pope,
6:45 pm
but ben stokes torn hamstring, is overseeing things. now, we can only imagine his frustration to be close to the action. encouraging mightjust help his recovery as much as the team. but how to replace him? well, james anderson, in the hooded top, was advising the bowlers on his home ground, mark wood's leg under significant strapping, you will notice. but in the absence of all rounder stokes, the bowler re—emerging for england, matthew potts, who has done nothing wrong in his test matches so far, strengthens the bowling. but the 11 is less balanced. greater responsibility on batters like harry brook, the new vice captain, and dan lawrence, who gets his chance in the team after being on the fringes for a long time now as an opening batter. obviously i've had a little taste for it, um, a couple of years ago, and i really enjoyed that taste. but i'm coming back a much better player now, and i'll be able to control my emotions a lot better than i did when i played before. um, yeah, it is obviously a fantastic opportunity, but i think when you do put pressure
6:46 pm
on yourself, it makes the week worse. um, like i said, i'mjust going to really enjoy these however many test matches it is and hopefully put on a show. well, what about the touring sri lankans? well, they've had just one preparation match, a defeat against the young england lions team. around their squad, you will see some familiarfaces. ian bell, over 100 test matches for england, is helping out with the coaching alongside sanath jayasuriya from sri lankans golden era. but amongst the current squad of players, the ageless angelo mathews, 37 years young. realistically, are you expecting to win this series? absolutely. i mean, we've got a great team. i mean, only a few guys who had played in england back in 2016. but, um, uh, our guys are shaping up really well. we were on a ten day camp as well before, um, uh, the other boysjoined us, but, um, yeah, it has been a good preparation so far. i know when the first
6:47 pm
group of guys arrived, there was a lot on the news, some terrible scenes with riots and so on. um, i want to ask you, do you feel safe? do you feel happy to be in the uk as a tourist? absolutely. we feel safe. i mean, you know, these things we cannot control. but, you know, we've been looked after so well and we are very welcomed in england. and, uh, you know, as i said, those things, we are not bothered at all. i mean, we know that england is a very safe country to move around, and we really enjoy coming to england. well, that has to be the most important thing. right now, take a glimpse of old trafford in sunshine. that might be a rarity in the days to come. qualifying is under way in new york for next week's us open, the final tennis major of the year. there was an all—british tie in the first round of men's qualifying, pauljubb beating jacob fearnley in straight sets, the second set was decided on a tie break.
6:48 pm
liam broady had a close, but ultimately unsuccessful, match against finland's otto virtanen, the world number 125. he lost the first set 5—7, but having been a break up in the second set, that went to a tie break, broady saved one match point but couldn't save the second and heather watson is one of four british women trying to qualify for the main draw. she's one set up against last year'sjunior wimbledon champion clervie ngounoune — and leads 5—1 in the second. british number one jack draper will be seeded at the us open. he's up to 25th in the world after his run to the quarterfinals at the cincinnati open, but his win in the last 16 against felix auger alliassime has sparked a debate about the use of technology. he won the match with a freakish shot, hitting the ball into the ground, back onto his racket then onto the top of the net before it dropped
6:49 pm
over for match point. but the umpire said it was good, and although tv replays showed draper shouldn't have won the point, no video review was available to the officials. i've spoken to our tennis correspondent russell fuller, with novak djokovic now weighing in on the issue, yes, he feels it is embarrassing, as were seen, that this technology exists and it is not used, and therefore he is asking the tors, the atp tour, the wta tour, and by extension all of the grand slams to use the technology when it is available. as we know from other sports, if you use the technology, the replays are not always conclusive, and even though clearly, novak djokovic in this case and stefanos tsitsipas also waiting and nick kyrgios also felt the impair —— on fire had made a mistake and the point should have gone to felix auger—aliassime, it looks like we're
6:50 pm
heading towards maurice of video review, i them heading towards maurice of video review, ithem moment heading towards maurice of video review, i them moment is this the soil reserve of the us open. and when that starts a week today, they would have the video review system available on eight quarts and set of five, which means according to the tournament director, 75% to 80% of the singles matches are covered by this technology. this the singles matches are covered by this technology.— this technology. this is why a sport develo s, this technology. this is why a sport develops. this _ this technology. this is why a sport develops, this is _ this technology. this is why a sport develops, this is the _ this technology. this is why a sport develops, this is the stuff - this technology. this is why a sport develops, this is the stuff the - develops, this is the stuff the human eye cannot catch, and itjust seems like tennis should have common sense to go down that road. and i sense to go down that road. and i think they will. — sense to go down that road. and i think they will, i _ sense to go down that road. and i think they will, i wonder - sense to go down that road. and i think they will, i wonder how - sense to go down that road. situc i think they will, i wonder how long it would be before we see the video review available to the umpire if the player requested on all the courts at grand slams. i am not sure we able to go much further than that, though i suppose this was an atp tour match, the atp will be looking at doing it with the masters 1000 events, but the technology is readily available, but if you need it video review official for each
6:51 pm
court that certainly means the people need to be trained, lesser people need to be trained, lesser people need to be trained, lesser people need to be paid, and tennis is a wealthy sport at the top level, but there are certain things to think about, but how far do you go? rugby league bosses have hailed the magic weekend a success even though the combined attendance atjust over 53,000 over the two days was the lowest for 1h years. elland road staged the six matches with newcastle united's st jame's park unavailable. here's our rugby league reporter matt newsum. i think magic we can has almost always been a destination event where rugby league went on tour almost with i kind of evangelical that spread the gospel of the game to a completely new city, so a colourful takeover of support is an exhibition that fines could mix freely, and it always felt buzzing" —— inside the stadium. but looking at the hard facts, second lowest attendance in 17 years of weekend,
6:52 pm
if you are looking to put the event to bed, which i don't think the organisers are, you would have every excuse in the book was stopped and i think fines, to some extent, definitely make a good point, sort of voted with their feet, deciding it was not exciting and this was not going to be the magic weekend that they had come to expect and almost enjoy, and that the magic weekend of 20 before it was possibly a flawed one. ., ., .., 20 before it was possibly a flawed one. ., ., .. , 20 before it was possibly a flawed one. ., ., , ., one. the hollow care funds would have enjoyed _ one. the hollow care funds would have enjoyed their— one. the hollow care funds would have enjoyed their day _ one. the hollow care funds would have enjoyed their day out, - one. the hollow care funds would have enjoyed their day out, let'sl have enjoyed their day out, let's just touch on the sport rather than the whole experience, holick kr going great guns and the end of this regular season is shaping up to be quite special. hull regular season is shaping up to be quite special-— quite special. hull kr, the drive from there _ quite special. hull kr, the drive from there biggest _ quite special. hull kr, the drive from there biggest rivals - quite special. hull kr, the drive from there biggest rivals they . quite special. hull kr, the drive i from there biggest rivals they have not won a trophy since 1985, and here they are on the cusp of something fantastic, notjust because they are top of the league but the way they are playing and the
6:53 pm
confidence which is flowing through them at the moment, they are certainly the team in the box seat and they are really entertaining to watch, so they are notjust winners, not just watch, so they are notjust winners, notjust grinding teams down, they are playing with a flare and precision that is just really good to watch as well. the former leicester tigers and gloucesterforward ed slater and his former team—mate billy twelvetrees, have started a 350—milejourney to raise money for families affected by motor neurone disease. two years ago, when ed was diagnosed with the condiiton, the pair cycled the route, from gloucester to leicester to twickenham and back to gloucester in three days, now billy, with ed in a support vehicle, is attempting to do it in just 2a hours. this is a light picture where they are, they have made it from gloucester up to lester, the art milton keynes before he did later and hopefully back to gloucester within 2a hours. jayne mccubbin met up with ed and billy before they set off it's not about me, to be honest.
6:54 pm
it's about the mnd community. obviously i'd love to be able to do it physically, but the cause is the most important part. two years ago, ed slater was diagnosed with the disease, bringing an abrupt end to a successful career with gloucester, and before that leicester and milton keynes. his response was this. to set out on a 350—mile challenge with all his old team—mates to all his old clubs. fast forward two years and today they gathered to do it all again. last time ed was in the driving seat. this time he'll be in a support vehicle. last time, he and former team—mate billy twelvetrees rode over three days. this time, just 2a hours.
6:55 pm
ed is only 36 years old, and his children will be affected for the rest of their lives with this. they get given a diagnosis of 2—5 years to live and then they are left to themselves. we need to raise as much awareness and money to help find a cure because it's a cruel, cruel disease. the kids are excited as ever, which is always the thing that keeps us going. that's really nice to see. i think you know in your head what's going to happen but it's not real- until it's happened to you in a way. and i think, you know, _ part of it is he wants people to see that this is the reality of the situation - and people need help. for the fans and the mnd community, this means the world. ed, we are there for you, we are there for your family. gloucester are your family and rugby, we hug you. it is a huge challenge, but no greater challenge than the one ed faces. and the rugby community are cheering them all the way. jayne mccubbin, bbc news.
6:56 pm

6:59 pm
