" former heavyweight champion tyson fury says the deal is almost done to set up a clash with deontay wilder. we begin with the international champions cup where there's been much talk of the lack of big name talent in action for the worldwide series of friendlies — but it has been a chance instead for a younger breed

of stars to shine. in singapore, it was no different for paris st germain‘s 3—2 victory over atletico madrid — where it was the next generation who really excelled as ade adedoyin reports. a new season and a a new season and a new a new season and a new beginning for paris st germain but like in the dugout has been anything but easy. after a defeat by bayern munich and a 5—1 drubbing. psg cut right through it. taking paris out of sight. also the thought. madrid might be solid but they also know when to never give up. injust

might be solid but they also know when to never give up. in just four minutes from time, they equalised. the crowd in singapore's national stadium. a stunning individual goal. a great opportunity for young talent but the shortage of star names has meant the attendance at the various icc matches have been a bit "hit and miss". just over 22,000 were at that game in singapore — less than half its capacity. manchester united manager jose mourinho even went as far as to say fans shouldn't turn up and the tournament's promoter says he has a point. france won the world cup, most of

the players were playing in italy at the players were playing in italy at the time. that is something of a time that has changed. the counter is gotten tight. i think that probably in a world cup year there are some format ideas we can come up with. we are hoping and in a typical year, a great team like germany was eliminated. and again, the me, it's

all about the game and that the managers are happy and the players are happy and they play hard, that should be enough. we have seen great goals, great competition. the realisation may finally be starting to dawn on geraint thomas that he is the new tour de france champion. the first welshman to win the race was considered by many to be a support rider for his team—mate and four—time winner chris froome. speaking on bbc television on monday night, thomas says it's been a whirlwind 2a hours. it's peanuts, it's just it's peanuts, it'sjust been it's peanuts, it's just been crazy. you think about the racing part and suddenly you win and it's all over. it just goes suddenly you win and it's all over. itjust goes crazy new don't expect anything else. it'sjust a whirlwind. at what point did it to warn you that this could actually be yours and what point do they sit you down and say, it's not about chris

any more, we are focusing on you. down and say, it's not about chris any more, we are focusing on youm was mainly after stage 17 when chris cracked a bit and lost about 45 secondsis cracked a bit and lost about 45 seconds is the best chance of winning,100%. seconds is the best chance of winning, 100%. the ride was massive. it was never awkward either. i think big respect to him. on to cricket — and england and india were training at edgbaston on monday, ahead of the ist test which starts there on wednesday. much of the build—up for england has centred on the inclusion of leg—spinner adil rashid. his selection has proved controversial because he's only contracted to play "white ball" cricket for his county side yorkshire this season. his performances in the recent

0ne—day series against india — which england won 2—1 — have prompted his test recall. i haven't played with him but watching of way he goes about his business in the one—day matches in talking about his bowling, he has mature as a cricketer and improved as we last saw him. i think it will be fine. clearly, is going to be nervous because it is a bit of time away from the england team and the circumstances but i genuinely think you will cope. he is a very good bowler. we all know you can take us.

it's like playing in maugham by all at chennai, we play a practice game, it was like playing in maugham by port chennai. but he is a quality spinner. we don't want to take anyone lightly. any of those fast bowlers. it will be a challenge and focus on our bowlers. it will be a challenge and focus on our games. nba superstar lebron james made his first public appearance on monday since leaving cleveland cavaliers to join la lakers with whom he's signed a four—year contract worth $150 million. james, who's played in eight successive nba finals, winning three of them, was back in his home town of akron in ohio, to open his new school — the i promise school, for underprivileged children. i was part of the school system from

the south midlands and swinging into east anglia and south—east england. the thing with this big area of rain is we will have squally winds and could have some lightning in it as well. the rain could be intense, so we could have some pretty awful conditions on the roads first thing in the east midlands, east anglia and south—east england, somewhere in that part of the world. the rain could be quite slow to ease off in the morning. by the afternoon, they will be long out of the way and we will see sunshine following on behind. looking at the weather picture further northwards and westwards, it was always going to be a kind of cloudy and windy kind of day and there's rain in the forecast too, especially in the highlands and western isles. a few showers pushing into north—western counties of northern ireland, but otherwise, there should be a fair bit of dry and cloudy weather. temperatures, 18 in belfast. moving further south and we lose the early rain in eastern areas, that could be quite heavy and the afternoon is much brighter with some sunshine, and temperatures pushing on to around 25 degrees. it might feel a little on the humid side for you. that's tuesday's weather, let's take a look towards the middle

part of the week, and we've got this warm front approaching the british isles. that's going to thicken the cloud up in northern ireland, and outbreaks of rain setting in here through wednesday afternoon, turning quite heavy as well. i think it probably will cloud over across wales and south—western england too. we'll get some rain towards the end of the day working into west scotland, but that still leaves east anglia and the south—east of england with warm air, temperatures up to 27. so pushing into the 80s in terms of fahrenheit. showers will continue to be a feature on thursday into north—western areas, some of these could be quite heavy, and normally there's a good deal of cloud in the north—west,

keeping the temperatures generally in the low 20s. not bad for the time of year, but it's the heat is really lingering in east anglia and the south—east of england as well. that's your weather. a very warm welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. my name's mike embley. our top stories: president trump says he's ready to meet iran's leaders any time and with no preconditions. fleeing syria to fight another day. we have a special report on the hunt for is fighters still on the run. burning out of control — raging wildfires in california force 50,000 people to leave their homes. high turnout and hopes for a better future — counting is underway in zimbabwe's historic elections. hello to you.
