to scoring again — henry vaca's shot was saved with eight minutes to go. so flamengo are through 2—1 on aggregate, they'll play pen—ya—rol of uruguay in the quarter—finals. pep guardiola says the decision to bring former captain, iklay gundogan, back to manchester city was an easy one. the 33—year—old has signed a one year deal, with the option of a second one. he won 1a trophies during seven seasons at the etihad stadium before moving to barcelona last summer. of course he is not a teenager any more but there is a reason why we decided this is the chance to do it, is for the level he played last season. he knows what we want to do and he does not need to adapt, he knows the city, he knows the club, the mates, the way we want to play, we believe he will settle and that's why he can do it and we did it. elsewhere, the weekend's action kicks off on saturday

difficult for both fans and drivers. the times kept tumbling right until the chequered flag with britain's lando norris pipping championship leader max verstappen by two tenths of a second on his final lap. second practice gets under way in around 15 minutes — you can follow it all on the bbc sport website and app british paralympians helene raynsford and gregor ewan have been chosen to ignite the paralympic flame on saturday at stoke mandeville, the birthplace of the paralympic movement before making the journey to paris. team gb have targetted between 100 and 140 medals and hope to use the platform to inspire others. at paralympics gb, want to inspire the nation. that is our purpose. we want to do that through our performances on the field of play but we want that gold dust to create excitement and opportunity for everyone else off the field of play.

we don'tjust want everyone else off the field of play. we don't just want to fly the flag for our paralympian is at paralympics gb, we fly the flag for every disabled person. and that's all the sport for now. back to you, anita. weapons dealers in yemen are openly using the social media platform x — formerly known as twitter — to sell kalashnikovs, pistols, grenades and grenade—launchers. (boxed the traders operate in the capital sana'a and other areas under control of the houthis — a rebel group backed by iran and proscribed as terrorists by the us and australian governments. an investigation by the times newspaper found that several of the yemeni accounts bore the blue tick of verification. 0ur security correspondent — frank gardner — recounted his own experiences of visiting yemen. i first went there in the 19805 and was amazed to see powerful automatic weapons from libya, from russia, from the balkans being openly traded at open air desert markets east of the capital, sana'a. so it's no surprise that weapons are being traded. but the extraordinary thing here,

as you rightly say, is that it's being done not on the dark web where you would expect this to be taking place, where a lot of illicit, illegal, banned substances and items and materials are traded. but on x, formerly known as twitter and the times newspaper got a tip off and did their investigation over the last ten days. and they've counted around 68 traders who are offering these weapons, which range from assault rifles to hand grenades to rocket propelled grenades, to pistols for hundreds of dollars. payments in ryals, either yemeni ryals or saudi. and bbc did their own diligence as well. and we found that, um, there is even a video there with a guy giving a demonstration of a kalashnikov, which he loads up a 30 round magazine, fires it off on full

automatic and saying, this is a top notch warranty, guaranteed. i mean, all the kind of hype that you would get with almost with ts and cs coming with a normal commercial product being traded openly on x, and we have both the bbc and the times have contacted x, um to for any comment, but not got any response. that was my next question. and one wonders what's being done to to shut this down, to shut this trade down on x? well, when elon musk took over twitter and turned it into x in 2022, he laid off most of the content moderators, people who were keeping illicit content or file or misogynistic or racist or terrorist content off, um off the platform. so, a lot of those restraints, i'm told, are no longer there. the bbc presenterjermainejenas says he's consulting lawyers after being sacked by the corporation.

the former footballer, who's presented the one show and appeared on match of the day as a pundit, was dismissed this week — after allegations of inappropriate workplace behaviour. he says there are two sides to every story. our culture correspondent — charlotte gallagher — has more details. we know that a few weeks ago, the bbc was told thatjermaine jenas had allegedly sent inappropriate messages to a female colleague. he has now been sacked, both from his role as a present on the one show and also as a pundit from match of the day. jermainejenas had really been positioning himself to take over from gary lineker on that programme. that's obviously now not going to happen. a huge picture of him on the side of the bbc office in salford has been removed. talksport, another employer, have said they have no plans to work with jermaine jenas in the immediate future. jermainejenas has actually done an interview with talksport and was asked about those allegations. i'm not happy about this situation. you know, i'm going to be speaking

to my lawyers about it, is all i can say right now. so another scandal for the bbc involving another highly paid male presenter. the bbc in the past has been accused of dragging its heels, not acting quickly enough when complaints have been made about presenters. in this case, they have acted decisively and sacked jermaine jenas within weeks of those allegations being made. edinburgh will become the first city in scotland to charge visitors a mandatory "tourist tax". it's expected to raise £50 million a year to pay for improvements to the city. joanne macaulay has more. we stand up... thank you. it's festival time in edinburgh and this sees the city packed with visitors. but it takes its toll on infrastructure and services when budgets are tight. so the city council is proposing a tourist tax of 5% on accommodation as a way of paying for improvements. things that we just over time have been used and used and we need the resources to invest back in them.

so the tourist levy will give us that opportunity. so it's really exciting for us. we're really keen to see somewhere between £40 and £50 million of new money every year invested in improving the city and making it look better for people who live here and who choose to visit. so, jen, how's availability tonight? we're fully booked tonight. also fully booked tomorrow. we've got a couple of rooms... the edinburgh hotels association broadly welcomes the tax, but says it wants to see the money raised spent on specific things. increased public transport and better connectivity from the travel hubs. we'd also like to see the public realm improved, so that would be street cleaning, it would be pavement improvements, pavement widening — just to make the welcome of the city, to make it more clean, more robust. better... better signage within the city. edinburgh is following the example of other places by introducing a tourist tax or visitor levy. but critics of the proposed system here say it's overcomplicated and it could put people off coming to visit. we feel that, particularly at this time and when the sector

has got very high taxes on it already, that this will be in danger of, um, reducing tourism to scotland — this 5% tax in edinburgh. edinburgh shop owner kitty bruce—gardyne believes it will be good for the city, but she thinks there should be some exemptions. during the festival time, you have the...obviously the visitors who come to see the plays and to see all the performers. but i don't think those performers should be made to pay that additional tax, um, because they're already struggling to find accommodation that they can afford. so what do the visitors to the city think? we could come, but i think there will be people who can't come because of the taxes. i think that's a good idea. it's fair. i mean, we are running down the town a bit, right? we're taking advantage of a lot of the infrastructure that's there. so... the fact that they're - going to use it, you know, for the good of the city, right?

so to keep it clean. so i think it's a good idea. yeah. if they have a lot of tourists coming in, why not? people are going to pay it anyway. i think it's a good idea because it's a very beautiful city, so it would be nice to keep it clean and tidy. the council will now put the proposals out to a 12—week consultation. the scheme could be in place by summer 2026. joanne macaulay, bbc news. stay with us here on bbc news. hello. after bringing wind gusts of more than 70mph to some parts of the uk, storm lilian is already clearing away but the weekend does still look quite unsettled. not as windy as it has been, but still fairly windy.

some heavy rain at times. equally, some spells of sunshine. there goes storm lilian. this hook of cloud on the earliest satellite image clearing away northeastwards. we find ourselves right now in this slightly clearer slot, albeit with some showers. the showers most frequent up towards the north and the west of the uk, parts of northern ireland and scotland. staying pretty breezy, but not as windy as it has been. these are the wind gusts we can expect around the end of the afternoon. temperatures peaking at around 22 degrees across east anglia and the south east, scotland and northern ireland more like 1a to 17 degrees. now through this evening and tonight, we will continue to see some quite hefty showers. and for the second half of the night, this stripe of cloud and rain developing across southern and eastern parts of england, just fringing into the southeast of wales. a pretty mild night towards the south, slightly cooler and fresher further north and west, where we will start with a little bit of sunshine tomorrow morning. not so further south.

heavy rain for the channel islands. rain across a good part of central and southeastern england, and in spots to the southeast of london, we have this met office yellow warning, because some areas could possibly see up to 70mm of rain, so that could well give rise to some flooding and some travel disruption. that rain tending to clear around lunchtime, some hefty thundery showers behind. northern ireland and scotland seeing a mix of sunny spells and showers, but temperatures really quite disappointing for this point in august. 13 to 18 degrees at best. so what about sunday? well, high pressure tries to build from the south without an awful lot of success. low pressure still close by, so there will be some showers. in fact, a little frontal system here, bringing some more persistent rain across northern ireland, western scotland, parts of northern england and wales through the day. a little bit drier further south and east. those temperatures may be recovering to around 20 c. monday, which is a bank holiday for many of us, of course, it does look a little bit drier and a little bit warmer,

and it is set to turn warmer still for some of us as we head through next week. live from london. this is bbc news. delight in the hall — but what about wider america? kamala harris pledges a "new way forward" —
