hello and thanks for joining us on sport today. we start with football, and liverpool have made it two wins out of two at the start of the new english premier league season. they won 2—0 at crystal palace on monday, and are one of six teams who've made a perfect start to the new campaign. liverpool took the lead when their captain james milner scored with a penalty on the stroke of half—time. the spot kick was awarded for a clumsy challenge by mamadou sakho on mohamed salah. palace were reduced to 10 men when aaron—wan bissaka was sent off 15 minutes from the end. and set up sadio mane for the goal which sealed a 2—0 victory. the class that as a three points? great three points, great game, i am not sure what you want to see. if you want to see intensity, it was end to end. we want to see brilliant. a few goalkeeper saves, a few tackles a brilliant. i am not

there was an opening day win for athletic bilbao. they beat leganes 2—1, with iker muniain getting the winner in stoppage time. and there was one game played in italy, where alejandro gomez scored twice as atalanta thrashed newly promoted side frosinone 4—0. uefa have announced their shortlist for the european footballer of the year award for 2017—18 and, for the eighth year in a row, cristiano ronaldo is among the nominees. ronaldo, who's won the award three times, helped real madrid to a fourth champions league title in five years last season. on sunday he made his debut forjuventus, following his $115 million transfer. ronaldo's former real madrid team—mate luka modric has also been shortlisted. modric captained croatia to the world cup final injuly, and was voted player of the tournemant in russia. and completing the nominations is liverpool's egyptian winger mohamed salah, who scored 44 goals

for his club last season. salah is the first african player to be nominated since didier drogba six years ago. the winner will be announced in monaco on 30th august. staying with football, nigeria have had the threat of a worldwide ban lifted by fifa. there was a state of limbo because of a power struggle at the nigerian football federation. world football's governing body says they've received assurances that the "legitimate leadership" of the nff has been restored to power. from lagos, janine anthony reports. nigeria seems to have escaped this suspension from all put all activities on deadline day. in a statement credited to the federal government via twitter, they have said an official response, stating they will recognise the executive board and in short all football squabbles in the country come to a

halt. this is an amazing u—turn in a case that has plagued the country since september 2014, as the aggrieved party had taken a case appealing that conviction to fifa and two high court. while we wait fifa's official communique, people have side relief across the country as the men's national team will participate in the african cup of nations qualifierfor participate in the african cup of nations qualifier for 2019 and the women's national team, defending their title later this year in ghana. most importantly, laterthis year, the eagerly awaited return of league football. spain will face japan in the final of the women's under—20 world cup in france, after they both came through their semi—finals on monday. patri guijarro scored the only goal of the game, five minutes into the second—half, as spain beat the host nation. they finished the game with 10 players, though, after aitana bonmati was sent off and she'll now miss the final. 15 minutes from time, catalina coll denied the french an equaliser, and spain hung on to reach the final

for the first time. earlier, in the first semi—final, japan beat england 2—0, with both goals scored in a five—minute spell mid—way through the first half. riko ueki's low drive was followed by a header from jun endo. the japanese have finished third in two of the last three editions, but they're also through to the final for the first time. it means there will be a new name on the trophy this year. monday was another memorable day at the asian games in indonesia for chinese swimming star sun yang. he won his second gold medal of the week with victory in the 800 metres freestyle and set a new asian games record of 7 minutes, 48.36 seconds in the process. thankfully there was no repeat of the night befire when the chinese flag fell down during the medal ceremony. there were a host of gold medals forjapan in the pool.

rikako ikee led the charge by picking up her second and third gold medals with victories in the women's 50 metres butterfly in a new games record, and then the 100 metres freestyle. after kanako watanabe won the women's 200 metres breaststroke, japan then won the men's 4—by—200 metres relay, edging out china for the gold medal. it was the final day of group matches in the men's football and son heung—min scored the only goal of the game as south korea beat kyrgyzstan to reach the last 16. the host nation indonesia fnished top of group a after coming from behind to beat hong kong. they scored twice in the last five minutes to complete a 3—1victory and they'll face the united arab emirates in the first knock—out round. and spare a thought for myanmar, who beat iran 2—0 to claim theirfirst win of the tournament. with north korea beating saudi arabia 3—0. all four teams finished on four points. myanmar were the only one who didn't go through. england's cricketers face a huge challenge to save the 3rd test

in nottingham after a century from virat kohli tightened india's grip on the match. india began the day on 124/2 in their 2nd innings and piled up 352/7 before declaring. along the way, virat kohli completed his 22nd test century, and there were half centuries for pujara and pandya. england are chasing a notional 521 to win, and were 23 for nought at stumps. patrick gearey reports. i can't tell you it was an enthralling day ‘s cricket, but it was an important and impressive one from india and virat kohli. he was the man of the moment. at the crease when he walked out to bat, 292 runs ahead. they offered one chance in the morning session, that was pujara dropped at slip byjos buttler. the latest catch. after that it was

plain sailing. both went to 50 before lunch. pujara went after the interval, but virat kohli went on. he went to his second test century ofa he went to his second test century of a series of. after he went to chris woakes, the job was to watch the remaining batsmen score runs as quickly as possible and judge when to declare. the score was 520 and it was 20 to six local time when he decided to call his batsmen in and send england out for an awkward evening session. jennings and cook through 23 for no wicket, that is a plus, but they are right up against it. they were bowled out in an afternoon on a two, there are still two days left to go. it is all very well ask defending and talking positively about our team. but actually, the only time to do that is in the middle when you get your opportunity. having had such a poor performance yesterday you would expect your batters to

show some gumption, guts and get in and show they are the best players and show they are the best players and we are looking for cook, joe root, stokes to get stuck in an sure they are quality players. that is what you are looking for. —— and show. and pierre gasly will race for red bull from next season in formula one. the frenchman will transfer from red bull's junior team, toro rosso, to drive alongside max verstappen. he replaces the departing daniel ricciardo who will leave for renault. you can get all the latest sports news at our website — that's bbc.com/sport. but from me and the rest of the sport today team, goodbye. well, tuesday isn't looking too bad across the uk. might start a little cloudy, murky, drizzly, that sort of thing, but eventually, late in the morning and into the afternoon, the grey layer of cloud will break up and we will see some sunshine.

now, on the satellite image the rain and cloud is to the north—west of us — in fact, between the uk and iceland. we are to the south, and in this area here there is a gap, we have muggy, humid air from the southern climes, from the azores, so that's why it feels so warm outside. in fact, very early on tuesday morning temperatures in the south will be around about 17 celsius, 16,15—16in yorkshire, even in newcastle around 14 celsius, so a relatively warm start to the day. and this is the humid air, you can see the arrows from the south—west here, streaming towards the uk. but when we see this weather pattern, we often get a lot of cloud that shrouds the coastlines, we get mist and murk and even drizzle in places as well. the real weather front is to the north of us, the north—west, but we are in the murky area. however, late in the morning the clouds will break up a little bit and we will get some sunshine.

so into the second half of the day on tuesday, that's when we are going to get the best of the weather. very warm, hot in the south—east, 26, 24 expected in merseyside and into the 20s as far north as scotland. there is a change on the way. those weather fronts will reach us and we are expecting rain to fall in northern ireland and scotland by the time we get to wednesday. so here is wednesday's weather forecast, it is raining in belfast, glasgow, edinburgh, approaching the lake district, just about merseyside, north wales too, but to the south of that we are still in the very warm air, very humid as well, so temperatures could shoot up to the high 20s. it will be very warm in east anglia and the south—east, temperatures 26 or 27 degrees, and for scotland and northern ireland we have the fresh air coming from the atlantic, around 17 celsius, so 10 degrees difference. and the reason is because cold fronts will sweep across the uk,

multiple cold fronts, which means spells of rain on the way too. and behind it you can see the fresh air coming from iceland, there is iceland there, that cooler air invading the uk by the time we get to thursday. right across the country by friday. you can see the temperatures dropping. in london, 26 on tuesday, by friday it is 19 in london and on friday it is only 14 degrees in belfast. welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. my name is mike embley. our top stories: pope francis condemns sex abuse ‘atrocities‘ — and cover—ups by the church — in an unprecedented letter to the world's catholics. venezuala's neighbours say they're struggling to cope, as more and more migrants flee hardship and hyperinflation. the aid operation accelerates in the indian state of kerala. floods have forced a million people into relief camps. tears ofjoy — as relatives from north and south korea meet for the first time in more than 60 years. and a directorial debut
