attention to the tennis. we're into the final few hours before the final grand slam of the year, the us open, gets under way at flushing meadows in new york. novak djokovic and carlos alcaraz have been continuing their preparations. djokovic is the defending champion and comes into the tournament having won gold for serbia at the paris 0lympics. he's on the hunt for a fifth us open title and takes on moldovan world number 138 radu albot in a night session match on monday. the 2022 champion, alcaraz, starts his campaign against australian qualifier li tu on tuesday. so first up it's djokovic, who will head into the tournament with plenty of confidence, having beaten alcaraz in that 0lympic final. i had some heartbreaking losses at the olympic games. at 37, i thought would this be the last chance,

maybe? i had to push more than i have ever done. it turned out to be one of the best performances i had in years overall throughout the entire tournament, and in the finals against carlos. 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 her success comes just weeks after winning gold at the paris 0lympics. jane dougall has more. just two weeks after winning 0lympic just two weeks after winning olympic gold in paris, lydia ko has won the women's open at st andrews and with at a price of $1.1; million. it is her third major, winning this 18 years after her second. the new zealander birdied the 18th at the old course, finishing one shot clear of the rest of the field, seven under for the tournament, three

saddened to hear that sven—goran eriksson had passed away. he will be remembered for his outstanding contribution to english football. our thoughts are with his family. let's take a look now at some of the other tributes we have had, first from prince william, who is the fa president. he said it is sad to hear about the passing of sven—goran eriksson. i met him several times as england manager and was always stuck by his charisma and passion for the game. my thoughts are with his family and friends. a true gentleman of the game. his former club, manchester city, released a statement. saying we would like to express our sincere teen concert —— condolences to the family and friends of sven—goran eriksson. rest in peace, is sven. benfica said it was with deep regret that benfica mourns the death of sven—goran eriksson. rest in peace. 0ne mourns the death of sven—goran eriksson. rest in peace. one of his clubs in italy, latvia, posted thank

you for everything you have done for us. the england football team said we are deeply saddened at the passing of sven—goran eriksson. 0ur passing of sven—goran eriksson. our thoughts are with his family and friends at this time. rest in peace, sven, you will be greatly missed. let's speak to jonathan wilson, sports columnist for the guardian and editor of the blizzard. thank you very much forjoining us. as those tributes have got a cross, it is extremely sad, isn't it? it it is extremely sad, isn't it? it is. it is not a shock, we knew from january that he was ill and had months left, but it is still very sad. i think there are two reasons why he will be remembered. the first probably gets forgotten, that he was a tactical revolutionary. he changed the swedish came to a much more

english style of football. he won the league there with gothenburg at the league there with gothenburg at the age of 30. that led to success with benfica and then let sale. he is also remembered for how pleasant he was. what a gentleman he was. he didn't seem to take the game as seriously as a lot of people, he was very relaxed, very calm, did things with a smile. even when things got very tense with england he was always the calmest in the room. i think probably the iconic story about him is when he was at manchester city, they went on a pre—season tour in thailand, and the german midfielder, taken or how man, he didn't have a great relationship with. take mohammed man was looking out at a beautiful view, and a waiter comes up and gives him a glass of champagne. yes, why did you give me this? eriksson was there

with a glass of champagne. he said, what are we toasting, what is this for? eriksson apparently said, life, kaiser, life. he really enjoyed life and make sure he enjoyed it. if kaiser, life. he really enjoyed life and make sure he enjoyed it. and make sure he en'oyed it. if you look at his— and make sure he en'oyed it. if you look at his england — and make sure he enjoyed it. if you look at his england career, - and make sure he enjoyed it. if you look at his england career, a - and make sure he enjoyed it. if you look at his england career, a lot - and make sure he enjoyed it. if you look at his england career, a lot of| look at his england career, a lot of people will forget this but in 2001 when he took over from kevin people will forget this but in 2001 when he took overfrom kevin keegan, he had quite big shoes to fill as the first non—british coach of the england football team, notjust england football team, not just within england football team, notjust within the game, but if you think within the game, but if you think within the game, but if you think within the press and the media which at that time, people like the newspapers were much more dominant than they are now. yes. newspapers were much more dominant than they are now.— than they are now. yes, there were le . itimate than they are now. yes, there were legitimate reasons _ than they are now. yes, there were legitimate reasons to _ than they are now. yes, there were legitimate reasons to feel - than they are now. yes, there were legitimate reasons to feel that - than they are now. yes, there were legitimate reasons to feel that the l legitimate reasons to feel that the appointment of a foreign manager was an indictment of english football, it was a failure. because of that there was a lot of opposition to a foreign manager being appointed, but because of hisjourney foreign manager being appointed, but because of his journey quickly won

people over. his incomplete germany 5-1 people over. his incomplete germany 5—1 in munich. there was this hallucinate a sense in the second half of the goals kept flying in. that led to sven mania. there was a kid of eight or nine years old turned up for his school photograph having shaved the front of his head so he looked like sven. eriksson mobile phones went through the roof because a brand recognition. we had a very quick impact. that broke up as may slightly overshadowed by david beckham's injury to defeat that followed. in 2004 he had faith in a 17 wayne rooney. there was a great sense of momentum about england that really until gareth southgate i hadn't felt before in my professional life, a sense that england could win the tournament.

that was because he was prepared to go against tradition, conservatism, and select the 17—year—olds. because he had that sense that life is for living, he was prepared to take a gamble. he transcended football. you can say the name sven and you automatically knew he was talking about. there are very few people who are known just by their first name and he achieved that. i think some of that was the off field antics he cut off to. that came together in bad and bad in 2006, the bizarre situation with the wives and girlfriends, which he was front centre. nancy dallaglio, she was part of that culture. that was a very strange thing to cover as a journalist. every night in bad and

bad and you get a phone call to say they are all in this italian restaurant. there will be dancing on tables. suddenly football and celebrity culture came together. we all came out of that with a lot of great stories and we were very grateful to sven for opening our eyes to a lot of things. jonathan wilson, thank _ eyes to a lot of things. jonathan wilson, thank you _ eyes to a lot of things. jonathan wilson, thank you very - eyes to a lot of things. jonathan wilson, thank you very much . eyes to a lot of things. jonathan j wilson, thank you very much for joining us with your memories of sven—goran eriksson, who has died at the age of 76. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news.

back now to the news that russia has carried out a massive aerial assault on ukraine. president zelensky said it was one of the largest attacks on the country with more than a hundred missiles and about 100 drones launched across ukraine. we have just had a statement in from

the russian defence ministry. they say today we undertook our group strike of precision weaponry. they say that the strikes were delivered at power substations in a number of places, including the 0desa region. they say that suppressor stations helping the ukrainian gas transportation were hit in various regions, including kharkiv. also aircraft armaments from western countries were hit. that a statement from the russian defence ministry talking about the targets that they had. 0ur correspondent abduljalil abdurasulov is in kyiv. so, russia confirming what we knew, that they were hitting

infrastructure targets today. that is correct. ukrainian _ infrastructure targets today. t�*isgt is correct. ukrainian authorities also confirmed that one of the main targets of this attack where the energy infrastructure of ukraine. some hydroelectric power plants in kyiv were targeted as well and we know that russia has been attacking these facilities for several months already, since march, in fact. they have managed to destroy a number of those facilities. in fact, ukraine lost about half of its electricity production capacity. we still don't know the scale of this attack or how many facilities were heads, but clearly, today's attack will certainly delay the recovery process and the rebuilding of all those infrastructure facilities that were damaged before.—

cause and convince ukrainian allies to provide those weapons, it is not clear. it certainly, ukraine is slowly managing to convince its allies to provide the weapons they need. in the past it was thanks, and now they have received f—16s. maybe in the future ukrainian allies will allow them to use all those weapons to targets inside russian territory. thank you very much. you can follow this on the bbc website. to iceland next where one person has died and two others were still missing a day after an ice cave collapsed in the southeast of the country while a tour group was visiting the area. the group of 25 people

were on an organised tour of the glacier, together with a guide, when the cave collapsed, police have said. the location is in an area highly popular with tourists. at popular with tourists. around three o'clock yesterd afternoon at around three o'clock yesterday afternoon the alarm was raised. many tourists had already been visiting this ice cave, as is common. at three o'clock yesterday the alarm was raised, the ice cave had collapsed. at that point there were at least four people who were thought to be trapped under the ice, two were rescued. 0ne thought to be trapped under the ice, two were rescued. one has sadly died, in fact was pronounced dead at the scene. that wasn't known until next of kin were presumably informed. right now we are waiting for news of the two tours who are trapped in this collapsed ice cave, in the south—east of the country. it is just west of the grey seal area which is very popular with tourists.

the search has been ongoing again since seven o'clock this morning. it was posed overnight because it was dark and also because conditions on the glazier a very difficult. it was very warm yesterday, relatively speaking in icelandic terms. the temperature at a nearby town was 17 centigrade, which raises questions about whether people should have been visiting an ice cave in such warm circumstances. that said, these tours to run throughout the year and are run by experienced guides who understand the climate, the risks and the terrain into which they are taking people. this does appear to have been a tragic accident, one being investigated by the police in south iceland. two of the guides who were working yesterday are currently being quizzed once again.

0n the face of it many people would find it a risk that they would want to take, but this is something that happens very routinely and happily usually without a tragic outcome such as this. usually without a tragic outcome such as this-— usually without a tragic outcome such as this. police are now trying to identify those _ such as this. police are now trying to identify those tourists - such as this. police are now trying to identify those tourists who - such as this. police are now trying to identify those tourists who are | to identify those tourists who are missing. a lot of that work is having to be done by hand. you are watching bbc news. it is a bank holiday in england, wales and northern ireland. if you are enjoying the late summer sunshine were sheltering from the rain at a seaside resort, there is a fair chance you may be tucking into a fish and chip takeaway.

of the speculation rumours have been swirling since they split 15 years ago, and obviously in a couple of days time, it's the 30th anniversary of the release of definitely maybe, their debut album. but the fact that both liam and noel social media are putting out the same message is, i guess, a great symbolic moment of unification or some kind of armistice between them. is it down to money? it's always down to money, but i'm sure there's also a degree of legacy because the �*90s never really went away. but obviously you had blur reformed a few times and they played wembley stadium. last year they did two nights there. pulp have reformed. we have reformed a lot of the bands from that era of reformed, and there's a huge appetite for it, particularly among younger fans who would never have had the chance to see them. so i guess part of it will be trying to reassert their legacy for a modern generation. but the scale of the payday that

they're going to have is clearly going to be the main driving factor here, i would think. tapping in on nostalgia as well. 0h, completely. yeah. but i think that they've managed to kind of sit outside that while other acts have disappeared, they've had to kind of rebuild their return. and it certainly was not on the scale of what this 0asis reunion, um, threatens to be. so they've been in a really enviable position where they've not had to do much pushing to get there. it's like they're one of those acts that are handed down through from generation to generation. so in many ways, this reunion is going to be pushing on them. and where do you think the concerts will take place? wembley, manchester, maybe glastonbury? not to add more speculation and rumour to the rumour mill. what i heard a few weeks ago was ten nights at wembley, ten nights at etihad and glastonbury headline and maybe other shows after that.

whether or not they can do that remains to be seen. 0bviously taylor swift had a massive run of stadium shows in the uk, but she's a huge, huge global artist. they were never operating on the scale that she was, but the pent up demand is there, so you would definitely see multiple nights at stadiums and london and manchester seem like the safe bets. i would imagine the price of those tickets, if you do get confirmation tomorrow, will be quite high. stay with us here on bbc news.
