the football association has posted... sven—goran eriksson, who has died at the age of 76. 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, where the 2020 winner dominic thiem has lost his first round match, in what will be his final appearance at the tournament. thiem announced he's set to retire at the end of the year due to ongoing wrist injury issues. he was beaten in straight sets by ben shelton, who encouraged the crowd to give the former world number three a standing ovation on arthur ashe stadium, the same show court on which

he won his only major title behind closed doors during the covid pandemic. so, plenty of people to react to that today. his attitude to the wrist injury that has really shorten his career is remarkable. i think i would feel quite bitter that i had not been given the chance to push on and add to my us open title i won in 2020. he's not been able to be a top 20 player in a grand slam since then, but having given it a very good go, he's realised that he's just unable to be competitive any more, and when you hit the as he does and reach an open finals as well, then ijust think he feels that he doesn't want to be a player around about 100 in the rankings and not in with a chance of being competitive and winning grand slam titles any more. so one of those stories, actually, kind of a sobering example for all

of us, i suppose, what are your line of us, i suppose, what are your line of work that you need to enjoy the good times. in the women's draw, defending champion coco gauff has started her title defence. she's a set up against french player varvara gracheva, winning the first 6—2. co mforta bly comfortably leading there as you can see in the second, 4—0, so, shortly to wrap up that opening—round match for her. 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 four, but at the same time playing away, experience and...

..having the mental feistiness in you is as important. 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. and us captain stacy lewis is due to announce her pics on tuesday, ahead of that match between europe and the usa in a couple of weeks' time. any more news, as always, on the bbc sport website and out, but that is it for me at the moment. sarah, thank you very much. a number of the airlines have announced they are resuming flights to destinations in the middle east tomorrow, amid some signs israel and hezbollah have stepped back from a further escalation. air france say they will be flying to tel aviv and beirut, after two days of cancellations. royaljordanian also planning to restart services to lebanon on tuesday. israel launched a wave of preemptive strikes across southern lebanon on sunday to try and neutralise a planned hezbollah attack. the iranian—backed group said they were still able to fire over 300 rockets and drones at israel, even though most were shot down.

meanwhile, talks over gaza continue at a technical level, although hamas left talks in cairo over the weekend. their negotiators say they'll accept president biden�*s three—point peace plan, but not if it means israeli troops remaining in gaza after any ceasefire. 0ur middle east correspondent jon donnison is following developments from jerusalem — he gave us this analysis. well, after that dramatic escalation on sunday, things do seem to have quietened down a bit. the israeli military says it has carried out some strikes on hezbollah targets in southern lebanon in the last 2a hours, but certainly the level of cross—border that we saw in the early hours of sunday morning, that seems to have quietened down. now, what are the two main parties saying? well, hezbollah, for its part, says that the first phase of its operation to retaliate for the killing of that senior hezbollah commander, fuad shukri, at the end ofjuly.

well, it says that that first phase has now ended. and for israel's part, well, benjamin netanyahu, the israeli prime minister, said last night that this was just the beginning and that he wanted to change the game in the north — change the game in terms of the situation in the north of israel. and of course, you have tens of thousands of people on both sides of the border living close to the border area who've been displaced now for many, many months. now, there will be increased diplomacy, i imagine, this week, to try and ensure that this doesn't flare up into something much, much more dangerous. and a lot of this is tied to the ongoing diplomacy to try and get a ceasefire deal in gaza. we've still got officials from qatar and from egypt working in cairo to try and progress with a ceasefire and hostage release dealfor gaza between israel and hamas.

but to be honest, those talks don't really seem to be going anywhere, despite intense diplomatic pressure, especially from the united states. and the us has said that key to calming things down in the north on israel's northern border with lebanon is getting a ceasefire deal in gaza. a ceasefire deal in gaza. but as i say, that doesn't seem but as i say, that doesn't seem to be in the offing at the moment. to be in the offing at the moment. so we're just going to wait and see. so we're just going to wait and see. both sides, israel and hezbollah, both sides, israel and hezbollah, say they don't want a full—scale say they don't want a full—scale war, but both sides say they're war, but both sides say they're ready for it. ready for it. they expect working—level talks thanks to jon for that. it's thanks to jon for that. it's thanks tojon for that. it's still thanks tojon for that. it's still been up for the lively day in gaz been up for the lively day in gaz and we are hearing reports that five and we are hearing reports that five palestinians have been killed in an palestinians have been killed in an air strike on the west bank's review air strike on the west bank's review decamp —— pretty lively day in gaza. decamp —— pretty lively day in gaza.

the white house said tonight the white house said tonight they expect working—level talks to continue in cairo for the "next few days". national security spokesperson john kirby also said the exchange of fire between israel and hezbollah over the weekend has not had an impact on the talks in cairo. one interesting development today — a meeting in tehran between the prime minister of qatar and iran's president masoud pezeshkian. qatar has been acting as mediator and is trying to facilitate a plan to free the remaining hostages.

they made in those negotiations. they have, qatar has relations with iran, it's able to speak with them directly in a way that the israelis and the americans are not able, and so what we are probably going to be hearing coming out of these meetings is the qatar —— the qataris urging iran to think twice about retaliating for the assassination of hamas's political leader in iran by israel. they have said they reserve the right to retaliate and that they intend on doing so, but they've also appeared to be waiting to see if anything comes out of these negotiations, in a way that allows them to save face and pull back from eddie further escalation, because iran knows as well as everyone that even though it can put up a fight, if it comes to blows with israel, it really can't afford militarily or financially a war with israel in which the united states would come in on israel's

side, so a lot of diplomacy happening now behind the scenes, trying to calm the situation after the scare that everyone had over the last couple of days. in the scare that everyone had over the last couple of days.— last couple of days. in terms of that hamas _ last couple of days. in terms of that hamas statement - last couple of days. in terms of that hamas statement that - last couple of days. in terms of that hamas statement that we | last couple of days. in terms of. that hamas statement that we got last night from cairo,, saying that they support president biden�*s three point peace plan, which maybe you can spell out for us in a little more detail, but what do you see as the main sticking point at the moment, what is holding the deal of? what's holding the deal up is the same couple of issues that have been holding it up for months now. but what you mentioned is correct. 0n what you mentioned is correct. on may 31 this year president biden laid out what he called an israeli plan, a multistage plan that would allow the hostilities in the first stage to stop, in exchange for some hostages by hamas, mostly the elderly, the injured and female hostages in exchange for that cease—fire. hamas had some demands,

like israel allowing more human and syrian assistance in and withdrawing to certain limits to the city —— unitarian assistance. at the second and third phases there would be permanent cease—fire and a before turn of the rest of the for many hostages, including the male soldiers and hostages who have been killed. the sticking point is that term permanent cease—fire. hamas has made it clear that that is what it wants. it wants assurances from the united states that, should it enter into these negotiations and sign on the dotted line, israel would commit to not resuming the attacks on gaza after they've received all of their hostages. that's probably the main sticking point. it's something prime minister net yahoo has not agreed to and says, basically, he won't agree, that he wants to be able to fight until what he calls total victory, which he has not been able to

define. i5 which he has not been able to define. , . , , define. is there any third party, an arab define. is there any third party, any arab country _ define. is there any third party, any arab country that _ define. is there any third party, any arab country that would - define. is there any third party, i any arab country that would come define. is there any third party, - any arab country that would come in and take that security role? it is mainly that corridor, between the egyptian sayyid? that's right. the egyptians are dead set _ sayyid? that's right. the egyptians are dead set against _ sayyid? that's right. the egyptians are dead set against the _ sayyid? that's right. the egyptians are dead set against the israelis i are dead set against the israelis having any control over that corridor, and that's been another sticking point in the negotiations. with the egyptians have been proposing to bridge that gap is a palestinian security force, with remote israeli oversight, so not really having an israeli presence there on the other side of the border, and another big issue of contention is the palestinian prisoners who would be released in exchange for those hostages. the names have not yet been agreed on. hamas insists on being able to choose which of these prisoners are released in the exchange. many of these palestinian prisoners held in

israeli jails are under administrative detention some of whom have never been charged even with a crime, but on the other spectrum, there are some people who have actually committed crimes against israelis and are serving some very long sentences, include life sentences, and he is really don't want to see those people released. so as you can see, a lot of contentious issues that are still on the table in the gap between the two parties still seems quite wide. still some way to go, seemingly. jasmine, good to have your time this evening. thank you. while most of the country was enjoying the last bank holiday of the year, keir starmer was holed up in downing street today, putting the finishing touches to a major speech he will deliver tomorrow in which he plans to address some of the underlying causes behind the summer riots. he will lay the blame for the "rot" within british society at the door of the last conservative government. and there is a warning in this speech that "things will get worse before they get better."

that is a pretty candid message for a prime minister to deliver just several weeks into office. it it doom—mongering, or is it cold, hard pragmatism? and how might it land? with us to discuss isjoe twyman, director of the public opinion consultancy firm deltapoll. good to have you with us, thank you for giving up your bank holiday evening. i get the sense that we are probably speaking in quite a neutral position at the moment, a holding pattern. ahead of the party conference season of the tories don't have a leader, what do you think the purpose of this speech is tomorrow? ., . ., think the purpose of this speech is tomorrow? ., _, ., ., ~' think the purpose of this speech is tomorrow? ., _, ., tomorrow? you could look at it in terms of public _ tomorrow? you could look at it in terms of public opinion, - tomorrow? you could look at it in terms of public opinion, where i tomorrow? you could look at it in | terms of public opinion, where we are now, and that really, all the data we have, suggests we are generally unchanged from the general election result. it's worth putting out in the aftermath of general election, posters like me was been time calibrating their data in light of the results, and so the impact and significance of polling is

already reduced, but when you and out onto the fact that during august, a lot more people are not paying attention because they are away or they have children to look after or whatever, they are not there to answer surveys, they are not paying attention to the news in the same way, and then on top of that you have the fact as you pointed out that one of the two major parties, in a real sense of the word, does not have a leader, in any real effect. combine all of that when you have what i would describe as a perfect storm of insignificance in terms of what's been happening up until this point. but tomorrow's speech, it seems to me, is not about what has happened already, the part of it will be referring to the riots, we understand. instead, it's about trying to put a story across about trying to put a story across about the future, not about what's happened so far, as part of keir starmer�*s time in downing street, but where we go from here, the next few weeks and the next few months, past the schools going back, past

the party conferences, and into the new year. what keir starmer will hope to do is put across the kind of messages that he's been mentioning up messages that he's been mentioning up until now, mentioned a lot during the campaign, what will become the very basis of at least the first of government. this idea that, yes, prudence will be a priority for the government, the people should not get excited —— improvements will be. this will take time in the labour party will go to great lengths to point out that the damage is significant. they believe that play monday conservatives. they will hope to win the messaging battle ahead of the conservative leadership campaign —— they will place the blame on the conservatives. -- they will place the blame on the conservatives.— -- they will place the blame on the conservatives. what they have done is resolve the _ conservatives. what they have done is resolve the strikes, _ conservatives. what they have done is resolve the strikes, largely - conservatives. what they have done is resolve the strikes, largely by - is resolve the strikes, largely by paying what the unions were demented. polling suggest they are

paying a price for the politically —— the units were demanding. it strikes me that's the church issue. if they had continued, they would be getting it in the next rocketing to gives with it, and strikes are expensive. gives with it, and strikes are “pensive-— gives with it, and strikes are expensive. gives with it, and strikes are exensive. . , ., expensive. that is true, there are costs every _ expensive. that is true, there are costs every way — expensive. that is true, there are costs every way and _ expensive. that is true, there are costs every way and i _ expensive. that is true, there are costs every way and i think - expensive. that is true, there are costs every way and i think that l expensive. that is true, there are costs every way and i think that is a good example of the kind of issue thatis a good example of the kind of issue that is very difficult to solve and very difficult to win over the public on. but there is a question about whether, actually, a political price has been paid because similarly there's there's evidence to show that the handling of the rights was not viewed as tickly strong by keir starmer, but does any of that matter? probably not because it's not about what's happened up until this point. it's about where things go from here, and i think that's the really important thing, and let's use winter fuel as an example. you could say it you are

presenting it at a particular way, this is damaging for the government because it was shown in polls that people don't think pensioners should have their winterfuel people don't think pensioners should have their winter fuel allowance taken away, at the same time, you could say that it could be popular for the government because polling shows that means testing of that particular benefit is a change that the public want to see. that's not a matter of polling, not a matter of messaging, and that messaging battle starts tomorrow with keir starmer�*s speeches. starts tomorrow with keir starmer's seeches. ., ~ , ., , starts tomorrow with keir starmer's seeches. ., ~ ,, , . starts tomorrow with keir starmer's seeches. ., ~ , . ., speeches. thank you very much for bein: with speeches. thank you very much for being with us. _ speeches. thank you very much for being with us, joe _ speeches. thank you very much for being with us, joe twyman. - around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news.

welcome back. some of us saw 0asis the first time around. in fact, some of us are so old, we were at maine road in 1996. and we have had to wait quite a while for the reunion. but there is an announcement pending, which we expect tomorrow.

feverish speculation online that the gallagher brothers might be ready to do it all over again. and as noor nanji reports, if that is the case, then prepare yourself for a titanic scramble for tickets. this cryptic post on x late last night... # you gotta roll with it # you gotta take your time... # ..fuelled the rumours that an 0asis reunion could finally be announced tomorrow. # slip inside the eye of your mind... # gigs in their hometown, manchester, as well as ten nights in london, are rumoured to be on the cards, as well as a glastonbury headline slot. # today is gonna be the day # that they're gonna throw it back to you... # it's exactly 30 years since the gallagher brothers shot to fame as britpop ruled the airwaves. # i don't believe that anybody feels the way i do # about you now... # but they also had

a fractious relationship. after a fight in 2009, noel left the band. # backbeat, the word is on the street # that the fire in your heart is out... # so, what's the story here? they've already had the glory — seven albums, eight number one singles. why do this now? after the decades of going at each other with cricket bats and fire extinguishers, it's extraordinary that they seem to be getting along better. and maybe money is an incentive here. you know, tickets are expected to be costing more than £100 at heaton park and wembley stadium, should this go ahead. so maybe they're just... they can put aside their differences to fill their coffers. whatever the motivation, fans in manchester are delighted and are not shy of showing it. i'm not going to sleep tonight. i am so excited. but there's still an element of doubt that i'm like, "please don't be just another record relaunch or something." i'm desperate for them to come back together. i've seen them both separately this year as well. incredible, incredible.

both different, different concerts completely, but together, you know... best believe i'll be there. and obviously with noel getting a bit of a divorce, maybe? - he might need the money. he's got to do it- before us old guys are 60 and we can actually still stand up in a field. - # is it my imagination # or have i finally found something worth living for? # is it definite or is it maybe? all will become clear tomorrow. noor nanji, bbc news. ican i can still stand up in a field! let's speak to the musicjournalist and broadcaster matt charlton. could you have ever expected this? i am not sure i can still stand up in am not sure i can still stand up in afield! am not sure i can still stand up in a field! after mac a week ago, i was on the reissue of title and a definite maybe, and the dj asked if i could see a reunion and i would put my money on not happening

because it was so after monies at the end, and it was acrimonious all the end, and it was acrimonious all the way through. they were brilliant copy for the tabloids and media press in the 90s. what you thing has gone on? money. it is alwa s what you thing has gone on? money. it is always money. _ what you thing has gone on? money. it is always money. the _ what you thing has gone on? money. it is always money. the six _ what you thing has gone on? money. it is always money. the six pistols, i it is always money. the six pistols, when they reunited, they called it... it was true. noel gallagher had every divorce last year, reported to have custom £20 million, which even for him with his royalties is going to make a bit of a dent. he once said he would not get back on stage with 0asis, or especially liam, for less than £100 million. they could easily clear that. ., ., , ., million. they could easily clear that. ., ., , , that. reunion tours are pretty common. _ that. reunion tours are pretty common, they've _ that. reunion tours are pretty common, they've been - that. reunion tours are pretty - common, they've been increasingly common, they've been increasingly common in recent years. and usually they're pretty cynical, aren't they,

because it is about money? this would be different. james, with me in the studio, says he would go on hands and knees to see 0asis live in. there are a lot of people in that category because they are so ingrained in british culture, the song talking about? they ingrained in british culture, the song talking about?— ingrained in british culture, the song talking about? they are one of about three — song talking about? they are one of about three or _ song talking about? they are one of about three or four _ song talking about? they are one of about three or four bands _ song talking about? they are one of about three or four bands that - about three or four bands that define an era, and that's not a small thing, and i think no matter how much cynicism there might be on stage, they might be simon and garfunkel when they had to go in separate dressing rooms and outlook each other in the eye while they were on stage, they might be like that, but that would not be unusual for noel and liam, that, but that would not be unusual for noeland liam, i that, but that would not be unusual for noel and liam, i have seen them before glastonbury when they were in a bit of a mood, but i would not matter as long as the crowd or into it and it sound like they will be very into it. it and it sound like they will be very into it— very into it. they could afford se arate very into it. they could afford separate dressing _ very into it. they could afford separate dressing rooms, - very into it. they could afford separate dressing rooms, i i very into it. they could afford - separate dressing rooms, i wager! if separate dressing rooms, iwager! if it's the pyramid stage at glastonbury, that is such a big

success, are we talking albums, working together again quickly? that's another thing, i think. i can't imagine them in a studio together, but as i said, this time last week, i was saying absently not looking back together, but if you try and name oasis's last album, namely lynn siegel from that last album, they were waning, but the sales were really strong —— name the lead single. we sales were really strong -- name the lead single-— lead single. we have to leave it there. announcement - lead single. we have to leave it| there. announcement tomorrow lead single. we have to leave it i there. announcement tomorrow - there. announcement tomorrow — definitely maybe! 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 211—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.

hello, i'm christian fraser. you're watching the context on bbc news. what has happened in gaza over the past ten months has been devastating. so many innocent lives lost. i'm the only candidate in this race who can make this promise. i will prevent, this is for the spouses,

i will prevent world war iii. nobody else is going to prevent it. translation: this was one of the largest strikes, - a combined one, more than 100 missiles of various types, and about 100 shahed drones. and like most previous russian strikes, this one is just as vile. the us has said that, key to calming things down in the north on israel's northern border with lebanon, is getting a cease—fire deal in gaza. plenty to discuss on foreign policy tonight. joining me tonight — stefanie bolzen, die welt�*s correspondent in washington dc and brian taylor, political commentator at the herald first, the latest headlines. the head of the airforce in ukraine says russia's air assault on the country on monday was its biggest so far. power infrastructure

was hit, and at least six deaths were reported.
