12:40 am
tojohn mccain, also from past american presidents to john mccain, the also from past american presidents tojohn mccain, the respected us politician who has died at the age of 81. if you am more here are defeated barack of 81. if you am more here are defeated ba rack obama of 81. if you am more here are defeated barack obama —— defeated by barack obama in the presidential election decided to stop treatment the cancer two days ago. john mccain was a politician of principle — a patriot who believed in his country and fought for it at tremendous cost to himself. during the vietnam war, he was shot down over hanoi. captured, interrogated and tortured. the beatings he received during those years as a prisoner left him with lasting injuries. on his eventual return to the united states, he was hailed as a war hero and entered politics. he was to spend well over three decades representing republicans in congress. mr mccain was seen as a maverick, but he was respected, too.
12:41 am
in 2008, he was selected as the republican presidential candidate, but his campaign was not without mistakes and he was criticised for choosing sarah pailin as his running mate. ultimately, was to lose to history in the form of america's first black president. i wish the outcome had been different, my friends. the road was a difficult one from the outset. barack obama is, alongside president george w bush, expected to give a eulogy at his funeral. in a statement, mr obama said: but the current president didn't always show his fellow
12:42 am
republican such respect. he's a war hero because he was captured. i like people that were not captured, i hate to tell you. after surgery to remove a blood clot, john mccain made a point of walking into the senate and blocking mr trump's attempts to repeal the obamaca re health reforms. with a grand gesture, he simply turned his thumb down. at the white house, whichjohn mccain was never given the opportunity to serve, the flag has been lowered to half—mast. on friday, he chose to stop receiving medical treatment for the aggressive form of brain cancer he had been suffering from. his family said he took that decision with his usual strength of will. butjohn mccain was a man who never gave up hope in politics or in his own personal battles. i hope to impress on you again that it is an honour to serve the american people in your company.
12:43 am
the death of senator mccain at the age of 81. now on bbc news, it is time for the sport. this is sport today live from the bbc sports centre. coming up: chelsea 100% start to the season continues thanks to a late winner at newcastle. a huge crash in the belgian grand prix but sebastian vettel steers clear to win and close the gap on lewis hamilton. and the american lives of the fedex cup play—offs after winning in new
12:44 am
jersey. thanks forjoining us on sport today. it wasn't easy but chelsea maintained their 100% start to the premier league season with a 2—1 victory over newcastle at st james' park. eden hazard's penalty and a deandre yedlin own goal three minutes from time was enough to overcome newcastle and their five man defence. rafa's benitez‘ stifling tactics proved challenging for chelsea manager mauricio sarri. it is very difficult to play here. it is very difficult to play here. it was difficult. i think we were a bit unlucky in the action around the goal, but we knew that it was very
12:45 am
difficult for everything, but i think it is especially for our splash every team. —— every team. fulham picked up theirfirst win since promotion by beating burnley 4—2. aleksander mitrovic scoring twice at craven cottage. and chelsea aren't the only side to make it 3 wins from 3 on sunday. watford beat crystal palace 2—1 at vicarage road and are up to 3rd. i think there is no secret, the most important is to work hard, because players, i think they have done outstanding work from pre—season, and now they are getting good results. we have a good atmosphere, and playing at home, we feel co mforta ble and playing at home, we feel comfortable with the support of our fans, and we will see the next games. real madrid made it back to back wins at the start of the la liga season after coming from a goal down to win 4—1 at girona, karim benzema scoring twice. sevilla villareal finished goalless
12:46 am
whilst espanyol beat valencia 2—0. meanwhile on the opening weekend of the german bundesliga, marco reus scored his 100th league goal as borrusia dortmund came from a goal down to thrash rb leipzig 4—1. mainz were 1—0 winners over stuttgart. a minute's silence was held before genoa played empoli in their serie a match, as a mark of respect to the 43 people who lost their lives when part of the morandi bridge collapsed in the city earlier this month. sunday's game was the first to be held at the stadium since the disaster. and genoa were 2—1 winners in the end. christian kouame with their second goal before empoli got a consolation deep into stoppage time. that's genoa's first victory of the new serie a season. elsewhere, inter milan squandered a 2—0 lead,
12:47 am
drawing 2—2 with torino. spal made it two wins out of two with a 1—0 win over parma whilst fiorentina thrashed chievo 6—1. it started with a spectacular multi—car crash, and there was plenty of drama to follow. sunday's belgian grand prix provided plenty of big moments and for sebastian vettel a big win, as he cut lewis hamilton's lead at the top of the driver's championship to 17 points. nick parrot was watching: spa has a notorious history of big accidents, usually in wet conditions. with sunshine bathing the track, few would have predicted this, hulkenberg's renault slamming into the back of mclaren‘s car, with almost dire consequences. this is
12:48 am
why the formula one brought in the halo safety device. all three were able to walk unaided from the shattered carbon fibre. while they we re shattered carbon fibre. while they were nursing their pride, lewis hamilton's was also being damaged. the championship leader started from pole but was passed by rival sebastian vettel before the safety car came out following the crash. when racing resumed, britain failed to retake the lead. unable to catch the ferrari, he had to settle for second place —— the briton. with sebastian vettel‘s victory cutting hamilton's advantage, it was a day when f1 was shaken at the start and stirred at the finish. it was very strong at the start, but yes, a great weekend. we both dahmer ultimately perform quite well this weekend, but when he drove past me,
12:49 am
like, i wasn't live there on the straights. so we got to keep pushing as hard as we can, to see if we can catch up, but, that's all i can say. for the first time in nearly a0 years, a round of the motogp world championships was cancelled outright after torrential rain at silverstone in england meant all racing at the british grand prix on sunday couldn't take place. crashes in rain over the weekend meant riders were not prepared to risk their safety. discussions did take place to postpone the race until monday, which was agreed by some teams and riders, but it wasn't given the go ahead partly due to a lack of marshalls. i think you've all seen the results of when we've been running in heavy rain, that the circuit in some places is not safe because of the way the water does not drain from the surface. we did everything we possibly could to run an event today. obviously the very last thing any of us wants to do is to cancel any of us wants to do is to cancel
12:50 am
an event. however, safety remains a priority. bryson dechambeau cruised to a four—stroke victory at the northern trust in the first round of the fedex cup playoffs in newjersey on sunday. after seeing his lead shrink to two shots with a bogey at the ninth, dechambeau responded like this with consecutive birdies on the back nine, en route to a closing 69 and 18—under for the tournament. the win moves the californian past world number one dustin johnson in the fedex cup standings. padraig harrington blew a three—stroke lead on the back nine, as andrea pavan capitalised to clinch his first—ever european tour win at the czech masters on sunday. pavan holed five birdies, which saw him finish with a five—under—par 67 and a two—stroke win on 22—under. the 29—year—old claims his maiden european tour title, and moves to 41st on the race to dubai standings. i'm not realising what they
12:51 am
achieved, to be honest. playing today, i knew what it was going to be tough. padraig has got so much experience, such a great player, and he played lovely. but, you know, i think the putt on 16 was massive. you know, it could have easily gone both ways, especially he was up, he was ahead of me most of the day. but after i got ahead, i stayed aggressive, which i'm pleased i did, because again, it came down to the last. team sky's micha kwiatkowski is the new leader of the vuelta a espana after finishing second on the second stage into caminito del rey. movistar‘s alejandro valverde took the honours in a tight finish after a select bunch mastered the final climb. poland's kwiatkowski,
12:52 am
leading team sky for the first time in a grand tour, couldn't beat the spaniard at the finish. it was however enough to take the pole to the top of the general classification. he leads valverde by 1a seconds, with wilco kelderman a further 11 seconds back. monday is a lumpy stage between mijas and alhaurin de la torre. the fourth and final tennis major of the year, the us open, gets underway at flushing meadows on monday. women's world number one simona halep plays on day one against kaia kanepi and rafa nadal is also defending his title having pulled out of the cincinnati masters last week to rest. it is important for the feelings, for the confidence, and that gives me the chance to rest the week after in cincinnati. the name herejust to train to improve every day. last yearl train to improve every day. last year i lost in the first round, so it cannot be worse than that. but,
12:53 am
you know, ifeel confident. ifeel that i have again to win against her but she is very dangerous. the last ten years or so i have been coming and preparing to try and win the event, whereas i don't think that is realistic for me this year, so it is a slightly different mentality coming in than what i have had the la st coming in than what i have had the last ten, 11 years of my life. so it feels a bit odd. it's great that, yes, the last two weeks over, because i had a lot of work to do on court. but yes, we are close to the start of the us open now.” court. but yes, we are close to the start of the us open now. i won the us open five—time, so i stated quite happy. it is not like the us open never worked out from it. it hasn't the last few years, but it is all good. 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. hello, good morning. afterallthe
