the fire brigade says everyone has been accounted for. and — definitely maybe — rumours that oasis — could be getting back together. more on all of those stories coming up more on all of those stories coming up in a moment or two, let's catch up up in a moment or two, let's catch up with the sports. there is with us, good evening. we begin with the news that former england manager sven—goran eriksson has died at the age of 76. he was the first non—british manager of the england team and led the three lions to the quarterfinals at three major tournaments during his five—year spell in charge between 2001 and 2006. eriksen managed 12 clubs winning 18 trophies with spells at manchester city, leicester, roma and lazio — where the swede delivered the serie a title in 2000, the last time the capital were crowned champions of italy. injanuary he said he had "at best" a year to live after being diagnosed with cancer.

tributes have been pouring in from all over the world from inside and outside the football sphere. prince william had this to say on x... the football association, meanwhile, posted... sven—goran eriksson who has died at the age of 76. brighton have signed midfielder matt 0'riley from scottish champions celtic for a fee believed to be more than £25m. the london—born denmark international has signed a five—year

contract until june 2029. the 23—year—old scored 27 goals in 124 appearances for celtic, winning six trophies including three scottish premiership titles. west ham defender kurt zouma is set to undergo a medical as he closes in on a move to saudi pro—league club al—0rouba. zouma had agreed a move to the united arab emirates earlier this summer but that deal collapsed after zouma failed a medical. the hammers gave permission for the 29—year—old to remain in the region in an attempt to secure another deal. now let's turn our attention to the final grand slam of the year in tennis, the us open is 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, meanwhile, 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, worked very hard to try and get myself in a position to fight for gold and at 37, i thought, you know, this could be the last chance, maybe, so i had to push more than ever than i have ever done. it turned out to be one of the best performances that i had in years, overall, throughout the entire tournament and then of course against carlos in the final. british number three harriet dart begins her campaign later this evening against chloe paquet of france. right now british qualifier jan choinski is playing world number 55 roberto carballes baena.

the spaniard dominated the first set taking it 6—2.. the first set taking it 6—2. choinski is currently 4—3 down in the second. he is leading that 5—3 at the moment. in the last half hour, europe's solheim cup captain suzann pettersen has announced herfour wild card picks for next month's competition in the us. she's chosen england's georgia hall, sweden's anna nordqvist, denmark's emily kristine pedersen and also handed a place to a rookie, switzerland's albane valenzuela. theyjoin the eight other players who have qualified automatically via the points system. ideally you would always pick for, but at the same time playing away, experience and, kind of... the mental, having the mentalfeistiness and you, you want players who can block stuff out and kind of go out there and not care about the

environment or if the crowd is screaming or shouting. the us captain stacy lewis will review her pics at this time tomorrow, that's the sport for now. the world health organization has announced details of a new plan to tackle outbreaks of mpox. the organisation says it will require $135 million in funding — to cover prevention and surveillance measures — including tests and vaccines. its director—general, says outbreaks in the democratic republic of congo and neighbouring countries can be controlled and can be stopped. but he also said a comprehensive and coordinated plan of action will be needed to limit the spread of the disease. health workers in the drc have told the bbc more than 70% of people being treated for mpox at their clinics are children under the age of ten. the bbc has been given exclusive access to two treatment centres in the eastern part of the country.

0ur africa correspondent simijolaoso has this report, filmed inside the drc for the bbc by a local camera operator. a warning, viewers may find some images distressing from the start. toddler cries. weary and in pain. two—year—old encima caught mpox from one of her five siblings, who have all had the disease. translation: this is - the first time i've seen it. when my child got sick, other parents told me it might be measles, but we started treating measles and failed. this hospital in kavumu is in south kivu, the epicentre of this new mpox crisis. it has had 800 patients sincejune. more than 70% have been children. eight have died — all under the age of five. about 100 miles away, the spring in amani's step slowly returns after four days of free

treatment at this centre in munigi neargoma. like the hospital, three—quarters of patients here have been under the age of ten. health workers have told the bbc they've had up to ten new cases every day. the idp camps are overcrowded, so you see children in idp camps, they are always playing together, so they have time together. they don't really care about distance, social distance, they don't care about that. so they play together. they are always together. and you can also see like in the household, they even pass the night on the same bed. you can find three, four, five children. so that means the transmission is really present on a daily basis. these camps, in the eastern part of the democratic republic of congo, are crammed with millions who have been displaced because of an ongoing armed conflict — the perfect place for mpox to run rampant. charity workers are trying

to get ahead by teaching people about symptoms, stigma and hygiene. simijolaoso, bbc news. a knife amnesty and compensation scheme begins today — encouraging people who own "zombie—style" blades and machetes to surrender them. the scheme is being run across england and wales before the weapons are banned next month. our home editor, mark easton, has this report. radio: he's got a possible machete down his pants - | like a meat cleaver. yeah, received — he's been seen to put it down his pants, yeah? in greater manchester, operation venture targets knives on the city's streets. reports of a man seen concealing a machete in his trousers leads officers to a residential street in salford. come here. come here. male making off! come here! get on the floor now. get on the floor now!

the suspect scales a fence, being pepper—sprayed as he flees, losing a shoe and his coat. what strikes me, this is a huge police response to a report of somebody who's got a large knife. is that typical? yeah, it will be. he's come over there. it's mainly due to how much of a high risk he is to members of the public. and the fact that he's been described as having a large machete—style meat cleaver. so, he's obviously a huge risk to members of the public. this is what's called a desert machete. as you can see, that has got a blade of over eight inches long. zombie knives, rambo knives, machetes — weapons designed to intimidate and terrorise — can currently be legal to own who because of a loophole in the law. but from the 24th of next month, new legislation comes into force, making it an imprisonable offence to possess a wide range of what are called statement weapons. and ahead of that, police are offering an amnesty with possible compensation to anyone who hands them in.

this is allowing people to claim compensation for knives that are held legally at the moment, but that will become illegal at the end of september. do you think this ban will actually make any difference to the level of knife crime? without doing it, we still would have a number of knives on the street. so, yes, i think it is the right thing to do. whether the statistics say it reduces knife crime are yet to be seen. kelly brown's16—year—old son, rhamero west, was stabbed to death in south manchester in 2021. she doesn't believe the amnesty and incoming ban will be enough to prevent future knife crime tragedies. banning these knives is not going to solve knife crime, because you can easily get a knife from the kitchen cupboard, the pound shops, anywhere. tougher sentencing? tougher sentencing, when you're getting caught with that knife. with their fearsome appearance, zombie—style knives and machetes have become status symbols among criminal gangs. before winning the election last month, laboursupported

the proposed law on a ban, but they also called for more proactive intervention and investment in youth services. britain actually already has among the toughest knife crime laws in the world, and some argue that better than targeting already marginalised young people, we should be prioritising the needs and wellbeing of children. liam kotrie is a manchester lawyer who gets calls to defend young people accused of knife offences once or twice every week. locking up children simply doesn't work. we've seen that over the years. knife crime levels have stayed the same. what we need to change is supporting young people through school, through education outside of school, and making them feel that they're part of society, and not blaming them for the problems within it. enforcement is part of the answer, a robust response to take knives off the streets. but the police would agree that what's also required are long—term policies which help convince young people there's never a need to leave home with a blade. mark easton, bbc news, manchester.

let's speak to carly barrett. her sister samantha was just 18 when she died in a knife attack in 2007. carly now runs programmes in schools to educate young people on knife crime. will come here to the programme. so tell me, when you go into schools, what do you say to youngsters and what do you say to youngsters and what do you tell them about your sister? 50 what do you tell them about your sister? ,, ., , what do you tell them about your sister? , ,. ., ., , sister? so when we visit schools we don't actually _ sister? so when we visit schools we don't actually tell _ sister? so when we visit schools we don't actually tell them _ sister? so when we visit schools we don't actually tell them that - sister? so when we visit schools we don't actually tell them that we - don't actually tell them that we have lost a loved one to knife crime. we start off by a short video of samantha and at the end of the video it says, meet my mum and my sister, they are my voice now. so the video is portraying that samantha is telling her own story and by the end of that video, the young people are shocked to actually see that that is our story as well,

that we actually are samantha, i am samantha �*s sister. you that we actually are samantha, i am samantha 's sister.— samantha 's sister. you concentrate so much on — samantha 's sister. you concentrate so much on educating _ samantha 's sister. you concentrate so much on educating young - samantha 's sister. you concentrate | so much on educating young people, i'm intrigued. when you speak in schools, one are the sorts of things they ask you? we schools, one are the sorts of things they ask you?— they ask you? we sort of have a lot of questions. _ they ask you? we sort of have a lot of questions. a _ they ask you? we sort of have a lot of questions, a lot _ they ask you? we sort of have a lot of questions, a lot of _ they ask you? we sort of have a lot of questions, a lot of engagement l of questions, a lot of engagement with young people, a lot of the questions are how have we have survived and how do we have the strength to stand in front of the young people and tell the story? and that strength comes, it's young people and tell the story? and that strength comes, its inner strength and it comes because we are so passionate about making change for the young people. it's been 17 years since we've lost samantha and daley now we are seeing on the news that another life has been lost to knife crime. we are trying to prevent people living the lives that we unfortunately have had to live. i wouldn't wish upon anybody and we are living proof that you can get

through it, but if you do, we have to live without samantha.- through it, but if you do, we have to live without samantha. which is so difficult- _ to live without samantha. which is so difficult. the _ to live without samantha. which is so difficult. the anguish _ to live without samantha. which is so difficult. the anguish of- to live without samantha. which is so difficult. the anguish of that, l so difficult. the anguish of that, itjust never ends, but in terms of those pupils you talk to, do they ever admit to carrying a knife, to you, in those sorts of sessions? that you, in those sorts of sessions? git the beginning i kind of wouldn't admit it —— they wouldn't admit it, but after they listen to the story, they realise these people that we are talking about including samantha, they are just figures. they are actually real people. and they do admit by the end, actually, i have carried a knife, or i am involved in criminality and then it's ourjob then, to source different avenues for them to support them and we do keep in contact with a lot of people. whether they are on our social media where they can contact us, we talk about different avenues to go down to get out of the situations they are in. ., ., ,

consequences and something will have consequences for them. it’s consequences and something will have consequences for them.— consequences for them. it's not 'ust about an amnesty, i consequences for them. it's not 'ust about an amnesty, we i consequences for them. it's not 'ust about an amnesty, we heard i consequences for them. it's not just about an amnesty, we heard from . consequences for them. it's not just . about an amnesty, we heard from mark easton saying we've got some of the toughest laws there are a knife crime but you think they have to focus notjust on these amnesties but on the sentencing itself for first offences?— but on the sentencing itself for first offences? absolutely. you know, if first offences? absolutely. you know. if you — first offences? absolutely. you know, if you look _ first offences? absolutely. you know, if you look into - first offences? absolutely. you know, if you look into people l first offences? absolutely. you i know, if you look into people who have unfortunately committed murder with knives, they've actually been caught a month, some cases even before carrying a knife, but if something it happened to them then when they had been caught carrying the knife, maybe they wouldn't have committed that murder and young people need to know that something is going to happen to them if they are carrying the knives, and the daily occurrence for young people now, it's became a normality for people to carry knives. we now, it's became a normality for people to carry knives.— now, it's became a normality for people to carry knives. we have to cut it there. _ people to carry knives. we have to cut it there, but _ people to carry knives. we have to cut it there, but thank _ people to carry knives. we have to cut it there, but thank you - people to carry knives. we have to cut it there, but thank you for - people to carry knives. we have toj cut it there, but thank you for your time. . ~', ., cut it there, but thank you for your time. . ., ., ., this week marks 30 years since the first significant

paramilitary ceasefire in northern ireland — and as the peace process has unfolded, the political landscape has shifted. in the general election, sinn fein became the first irish nationalist party to win most seats, but unionists still received a higher number of votes overall. our ireland correspondent, chris page, looks at how traditional identities are being re—imagined, a generation after the violence largely ended. in northern ireland, politics is coloured by contrasting constitutional narratives, but it isn't all binary, and black and white. there's a rough template that i grew up with, the protestant unionist tradition. my culture very much came from the british tv, uk tv, and politics is downstream from culture, so i feel like a scotsman or a welshman — that i'm part of the greater entity. i very much feel like an irishman too. brianjohn spencer explores identity through his art. he believes northern ireland should, and will, stay

in the united kingdom, because most people don't want a big change. when it comes to the constitutional question, it's on the radio every week here, but i don't think it's coming anytime soon. you want a safe harbour, orjust maybe, better the devil you know, or keep a hold of nurse for fear of something worse. so that's possibly what i'm sensing when i'm talking to people. the big picture is still being painted. the conflict known as the troubles lasted for three decades. it's been largely over for almost as long. the place that i grew up in is not the place that my daughters have grown up in. and in that way, we've made so much headway. emma jordan is a theatre director in belfast. she says the dublin government provides better arts funding, and suggests issues like that could affect the constitutional debate. all of our international touring is funded through culture ireland. culture ireland are a cultural organisation based in the republic of ireland, but they've got

an all—ireland agenda. that has to have an effect in terms of your day—to—day understanding i'm of how you sit in society. the things that you care about, how are they valued? that tells a tale in itself, doesn't it? the story of the future will nevertheless be framed by the past. the wounds are so great that they need to heal. gwen stevenson crossed the border with the republic of ireland every day for a year to make this poignant film. alexander bannister, 21. seamus morris, 18. it remembers all the victims of violence, and reminds that communities remain divided. if we could introduce integrated education, if we could integrate housing, have less segregated housing, if we could be economically more prosperous and more politically stable, then i think we can move forward. the peace process has brought new thinking about perennial issues. there are signs people

are reconsidering what traditional identities mean, or stepping outside them. chris page, bbc news, belfast. the main parade at notting hill carnival has taken place in west london. it's one of the longest—running street parties in the world and the largest street party in europe. the celebrations continue, despite the stabbing of three people at the festival on sunday. a 32—year—old woman is in a life—threatening condition in hospital. two men in their 20s were also stabbed. greg mckenzie has been at notting hill carnival and sent us this update. the carnival is coming to an end here in west london, by the end of the evening more than 2 million people will have taken to the carnival. , ., people will have taken to the carnival. , ._ ., people will have taken to the carnival. , ., ., carnival. yesterday and today, knowing- - - _ carnival. yesterday and today, knowing... have _ carnival. yesterday and today, knowing... have you - carnival. yesterday and today, knowing... have you been - carnival. yesterday and today, - knowing... have you been enjoying the carnival today? i

that an oasis reunion could be about to happen, with rumours fuelled by the gallagher brothers. moon the brothers have teased that an announcement may be made tomorrow morning, posting on x with the date and time written in the style of the oasis logo. former frontman liam also dedicated a song to his brother noel, during his set at reading festival yesterday. i've been speaking to music journalist — georgie rogers — and i asked her did she think the big reunion was going to take place. i think it will. surely it's about time. they split in 2009, so we've had 15 years. it's been a good run of the band of noel and liam doing their own various solo projects, but neither of which have come close to the impact of oasis. it's 30 years since their debut album. their debut album, definitely maybe. we all love a bit of nostalgia and you know, why wouldn't they kind of do a glory lap and get back together and, you know, especially as well, you know, the offers for them to do this have probably crept up and up and up

over the last 15 years. yeah. what does a pay day like this look like, do you think? well, reports suggest — i've seen 50 million for noel and liam. but, you know, when you look at the how much these tours. at the how much these tours gross. i think 400 million was the touted for the whole tour. so, you know, it brings in so much to the economy and it's just such a massive machine, you know, and it ends up employing so many people. um, but definitely today lots of fans very excited if this goes ahead. the reason it hasn't happened over the years, despite perhaps several occasions where they teased about it, is the volatility between these two. it is famous — or infamous — isn't it? it is. you know, they have a very tempestuous relationship. it's all been very public. lots of snipes at each other online and lots of big arguments on tour and things. but i think you sort of hope they're a bit older and wiser now. and, you know, this kind of stuff

doesn't come around that often when you are sort of such an iconic, seminal band to get together and play to millions of fans who still absolutely adore the music. so yeah, i think hopefully if they can get on, it probably won't be without its drama. but i think, i think they'll, you know, if it does happen, if a string of shows does happen, i think they'll go into it, hopefully with the mindset of let's do this and do an amazing job of it. yes, i was listening to one music journalist who was saying that liam has been really working hard to get his voice in the best shape, so lots of little pointers that perhaps it is going to happen. there's also that story that in the next couple of days, they're going to actually release the lost tapes from the original recording of definitely maybe there is so much interest in, in just every aspect for for people watching around the world. i mean, oasis here is huge, but i suppose they never really recording of definitely maybe there is so much interest in, in just every aspect for for people watching around the world.

i mean, oasis here is huge, but i suppose they never really cracked the us and other places, did they? no, they didn't, which is always quite surprising. i think wonderwall was the only top 50 billboard hot 100 charting track, and obviously in the uk they were chart topping winning awards, playing shows to 125,000 a night at knebworth in 1996. um, so, you know, they are a band of such huge stature for us in the uk. definitely maybe is still the fastest selling album of all time in the uk. um, so i'm not quite sure what really happened with the america thing, but they are massively popular all around the world. they've sold over 75 million albums and they're still streamed in the millions every week on streaming services. so yeah, people love a bit of oasis. georgia rogers state talking to me. that's it for me, i'll see you at the same time tomorrow. let's catch up the same time tomorrow. let's catch up with weather details from darren bet. hello again. some parts of the country are going to turn much warmer in the next couple of days. other areas though, will see some

cloud and some rain. wasn't too much cloud, though, towards southeastern parts of england. here we saw some of the highest temperatures — 22—23 degrees, an improvement on what we saw earlier on in the weekend. but there is cloud currently pushing in from the atlantic, so the weather beginning to change across western areas, particularly through the night as we see these weather fronts thickening with cloud and probably picking up the wind as well. it's going to be a southerly wind and that will blow in some rain to northern ireland. that rain pushes further into scotland and then just nudges over the irish sea. for many parts of england and wales it'll be dry with some clearer spells and temperatures probably dipping away to about 12 degrees, but it's going to be quite a warm night for northern ireland, where we've got the wind and rain. that will soon move away, though, tomorrow morning, and we'll get some sunshine following on behind. we're going to find some heavy rain for a while across dumfries and galloway, much of scotland turning drier through the day. and that's because the rain is slipping slowly further into northern england, into wales and the south—west of england as well. through the midlands and a good part of eastern england, it's going to be dry and here we'll have some sunshine with a southerly breeze.

those temperatures are going to be rising as well, getting up to 2a or 25 celsius. and temperatures are climbing in these areas ahead of the weather front that's bringing the rain. now that is really slowing down to a standstill on wednesday, and following on from that pressure is a little bit lower. so we're going to find more showers coming into northern ireland and scotland — some in western scotland could be heavy and thundery. but this is where the weather front is. so you can see, first of all, it's not really moved anywhere and also that there's not much rain at all. but ahead of that we continue to see temperatures rising through the east midlands, lincolnshire, east anglia in the south—east, temperatures 27, maybe even 28 degrees. that's probably going to be the peak of the heat for a little while, at least. and that's because the weather front is going to be pushing all the way through — little or no rain on it in the south. a bit of rain in the north, perhaps, but following on from that, the wind direction is going to change. we'll get more of a westerly breeze, and that's going to push in slightly cooler and fresher air. and with lower pressure across scotland, northern ireland and the far north of england, there will be some more showers around on thursday,

most of those moving away by friday. and further south it's going to be dry. not as warm, perhaps, but pleasant enough in the sunshine.

today at six — the former england manager sven—goran eriksson has died at the age of 76. he was the first foreign manager of the england team — prince william paid tribute to his charisma and passion for the game. all occupants of an east london block of flats are accounted for, after it's consumed by a fire. more than 16 hours after the fire

started, there are still flames and smoke billowing out of the top. how it started is still not clear. # slip inside the eye of your mind... # and will they, won't they? the gallagher brothers tease fans with the prospect of an oasis reunion. good evening. tributes have been pouring in for sven—goran eriksson, who's died of pancreatic cancer at the age of 76. he was england's first foreign manager, and was seen at his peak as one of football's finest coaches. during his tenure, his varied private life was also closely followed by the tabloid papers. prince william, who is head of the football association, called him a "true gentleman of the game". andy swiss looks back at his life. he brought a swedish cool

to english football. but behind that studious surface,
