of their country's war with russia. hello there. welcome along. we'll start with football, and the three premier league matches on sunday, arne slot�*s first competitive home game as liverpool boss saw them maintain their winning start to the season. they beat brentford 2—0. luis diaz opened the scoring at anfield on his 100th appearance for the club before mo salah added the second after the break. liverpool haven't conceded a goal yet either. it's been a pretty smooth introduction to english football for the new dutch manager. they head to manchester united next sunday. the fans love to see the team playing really well, but they also love to see the team working really hard and that's what we did today.

and, um, i liked also what i saw, so if i like it, then mostly the fans like it as well. so it was a good day for us. but again we won against ipswich, we won against brentford, two good teams. i'm not expecting them to be in the top six in the upcoming year, so it's still a lot to prove for us in the upcoming weeks and months. noni madueke scored a second half hat—trick as chelsea beat wolves 6—2 at molineux. cole palmer provided the assist for each of madueke�*s goals as well as scoring himself. that's new boss enzo maresca's first league win. they lost to manchester city on the opening weekend. newcastle drew 1—1 at bournemouth, the hosts taking the lead in the first half through marcus tavernier. anthony gordon levelled with 15 minutes to go. bournemouth had a late goal ruled out by var when dango ouattara's goal was disallowed for handball, even though it looked to have come off his shoulder. the cherries boss was booked for protesting too much, convinced that it should have been the winner.

you know, it's so obvious what happened today. you know, i think everyone that has watched the game would agree. you know i think the shoulder never... the ball never touches the skin, let's say, of dango. and the fact is that that doesn't touch the arm. it's a shoulder and it's a clear goal. and it's three points for us. then you take two points from us. there were four matches in la liga on sunday. champions real madrid have theirfirst win. 18—year—old brazilian striker endrick came off the bench for his debut and scored as they beat real valladolid 3—0 at the bernabeu. the other goals came from federico valverde and brahim diaz. real will play las palmas next, who were beaten 2—1 by leganes. alaves against real betis was goalless, and the england midfielder conor gallagher came off the bench for his atletico madrid debut. they beat girona 3—0. golf. lydia ko has won the final women's golf major of the year, the british open, at st andrews. the 27—year—old has had a long wait to clinch her third major, but it caps a fantastic

month the new zealander. jane dougall was at the course. just two weeks after winning olympic gold in paris, lydia ko has won the women's open at st andrews and with it a prize of more than $1.1; million. it is her third major, winning this one eight years after her second one. the new zealander birdied the 18th at the old course to finish one shot clear of the rest of the field on seven under for the tournament, three under for the day. and there were a few tense moments for lydia ko, who went straight onto the practice green after she'd finished her round, keeping her eye in and keeping warm, knowing that there could be a potential playoff. she had to watch as both the defending champion, lilia vu, and the overnight leader, jiyai shin, finished their rounds because both had a chance of at least equalling her score and forcing a playoff. the overnight leader, jiyai shin, was on five under with two holes to go, but she dropped

a shot at the 17th, putting her out of contention. lilia vu, though, was a different matter. she was on six under as she came down the 18th fairway. she had a putt for birdie, and to take the match to a playoff, butjust came up short, handing the championship to lydia ko. ijust didn't have the belief that one day i could win the women's open and you know, of all the majors, i had never really put myself in contention that much at this championship. so almost too good to be true. this one is extra special because, you know, my mother is here and my husband is here. and to be able to win and say that you're a champion here at st andrews, not everybody has the privilege or the opportunity to say that. and, you know, here i am holding the trophy right now and it's incredible. the world number one, nelly korda, will have been very disappointed. she threw away a two—shot lead earlier on in the day, double bogeying the 14th and then bogeying the 17th.

it's been an incredibly close final day. at one point there was a four—way tie at the top of the leaderboard. all of the players, of course, having to battle through difficult weather and tough conditions. we must mention england's lottie woad, who won the amateur event, finishing her tournament on one under. a very promising future for that player. but this was lydia ko�*s day. she showed that she is well in form, winning the final women's major of the year at the home of golf. lando norris has won his second formula i race of the season, taking the chequered flag at the dutch grand prix at zandvoort. the mclaren driver started on pole, but lost the lead to max verstappen at the very start. norris had the pace, though, and was back in front by the end of lap 18, and finished over 22 seconds clear of the world champion. ferrari's charles leclerc was third. norris is now 70 points behind verstappen in the drivers standings with nine races to go

and 258 points at stake. at sunday's diamond league meeting in poland — jakob ingebritsen smashed the 3,000m world record that had stood for 28 years, and the olympic pole vault champion mondo duplantis has broken his own world record again — by a single centimetre. it now stands at 6 metres 26. that's the 10th time he's broken the record in the last four years. ukraine's paralympic athletes are among those preparing for the games in paris that start on wednesday. their country has a remarkable record of success, but, inevitably, their athletes have been affected by the war with russia, many of them having to train abroad. here's our sports correspondent andy swiss. he's one of ukraine's biggest paralympic hopes — da nylo chufarov. but how do you prepare for a games after this? in 2022, he was here — the then besieged city

of mariupol. chufarov, who's visually impaired, survived three weeks of shelling before his house was destroyed. translation: i was ready to die. i hoped i would survive, but the probability of dying was so high that you just put up with it. how much did that period affect you both physically and mentally? of course i lost a few kilos. i believe this trauma will stay with me forever. over the last 20 years, ukraine's paralympians have become heroes at home — one of the most successful teams in the world. but they say around 500 of their sports facilities have been destroyed. chufarov now trains here, near dnipro, where he's often

interrupted by air raid sirens. many athletes have had to move abroad. fencer andrii demchuk has been training in poland with their team, but he's gone back to ukraine, where he speaks to injured soldiers about adapting to life with a prosthetic. he's even delivered jeeps to help the war effort, driving them with a little help from his fencing sword. i have only one normal leg and three pedals. and, for me, i can help with broken epee or foil and push the clutch, and after, i can push my left leg to another two pedals. this is a little problem. how proud are you to represent ukraine? i am proud for ukraine, not only in sport competition every day, all what i do, i do for my country. at the paris olympics, 15 russian athletes took part as neutrals, their only medal in tennis.

but at the paralympics, 90 are set to compete. more for ukrainian swimmer anna hontar, who had to move to finland after the invasion, facing them will not be easy. i will try to close my emotions, but i don't know how it will be going. will it give you an extra motivation to win in the paralympics? yes. yeah? yes. i want to win, i want to fight for ukrainians, for my family, for our paralympic team, and i want to fight. that challenge has never been greater, but ukraine will be hoping their paralympic success story can continue against all the odds. andy swiss, bbc news. a quick reminder of our top story — liverpool maintain their 100% record under arne slot after beating brentford at anfield. they are one of the four teams

on six points at the top of the table after two weekends. spurs, newcastle and nottingham forest are also unbeaten after a win and a draw. lots of reaction to the weekend's football. you can get all the latest sports news at from the bbc sport app or from our website. from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye. hello there. when it comes to rainfall totals so far this month, there's quite a marked contrast between the northwest and the southeast. hardly any rainfall in comparison to what we should be seeing for this month, but further north and west, we've had double the amount of rainfall — over 200% in the far northwest of scotland and across the lake district as well. and in fact, that's where we're

likely to see further rain to add to these totals to close out the month of august, potentially another 18mm in the extreme northwest, whereas hardly any traceable usable rain once again across eastern england and southeast england. so, for monday, we are going to see a relatively dry, quiet day. this weak weather front, a band of cloud, a few nuisance showers close to the scottish borders, northern england and north wales. to the north and south of that, sunny spells, breezy, but the winds not as strong as over the weekend, and it will feel a little warmer, which is good news for many as it's the bank holiday weekend away from scotland, so highs likely of 23 degrees. as we move into tuesday, central and southern areas under this influence of high pressure into the near continent, but a toppling around that high is another low moving in, bringing wet and windy weather, but at the same time,

the wind direction swings around to a southwesterly and just taps into some pretty warm air coming from the near continent. so, the rain still heavy as it moves out of the scottish borders and into north wales, but ahead of it, with that sunshine and that increasing warmth, we should see temperatures at 25 degrees. that's 77 fahrenheit. we're looking at mid to high teens across scotland. now, that weather front is not moving very far at all on wednesday as it continues to bump into this area of high pressure, so we could see this conveyor belt of rain just sitting across southwest england, wales and northern england for a time. and that means we'll see some increasing warmth. still a level of uncertainty where that front is going to be sitting, but potentially from hull down to the isle of wight, anywhere south and east of that could see temperatures peaking at 27 or 28 degrees — that's 82 fahrenheit. we keep some sunshine and warmth, although not quite as warm, through thursday and friday across england and wales. staying unsettled further northwest.

live from washington. this is bbc news. mediators continue to urge restraint after the heaviest exchange between israel and hezbollah since the gaza war began. a british man working for the reuters news agency has been killed in ukraine after a russian missile struck a hotel. and germany says the man

arrested after a mass stabbing on friday is a suspected member of the islamic state group. hello, i'm carl nasman. the middle east remains on edge tonight, after sunday saw one of the biggest exchanges between israel and the lebanese militant group hezbollah since the hamas—led october 7 attacks. israel said it bombed hezbollah rocket launchers across more than a0 sites in southern lebanon, in what it called a "pre—emptive strike". hezbollah fired hundreds of missiles into israel in retaliation for last month's killing of a senior commander. sirens were later heard in tel aviv after hamas fired a rocket at the city. us national security adviser jake sullivan on sunday urged all parties in the region to de—escalate after talks in cairo to reach a ceasefire between israel and hamas ended without a breakthrough. we are feverishly working in cairo as we speak

with our team and the teens of the other mediators
