un human rights investigators say military leaders in myanmar should be investigated for genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity, and called for them to be referred to the international criminal court. in an unprecedented move, the investigators named 6 top generals, including the commander in chief of the armed forces, and his deputy. un investigators interviewed hundreds of victims and found evidence of rape, torture and murder against the rohingya predominately in myanmar‘s rakhine state. more than seven—hundred—thousand of them have fled to bangladesh. from geneva, our correspondent, imogen foulkes. a systematic campaign of murder, torture, rape and against myanmar‘s rohingya muslims, extermination. patterns of violence which have been

going on in myanmarfor decades and for which the un investigators say the country's top military leaders bear clear responsibility. this report contains details of war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide. now, it's highly unusualfor un investigators to publicly name those they believe responsible. this time, they say the evidence is overwhelming. six generals are named in the report. a longer list of names has been stored at the un for further investigation. the team interviewed over 800 victims and witnesses and heard accounts of gang rape, of children killed in front of their parents, and of entire villages burned to the ground. they showed me their scars. they showed me where it happened to them. i could just see from their bodies and others, these people were deeply, deeply wounded. you know, it's not only about justice for victims.

it's also deterring future activity. if you allow this to go without any kind of sanction, then every army in the world will think they can do this. the investigators were also highly critical of myanmar‘s political leader, aung san suu kyi, who they say failed to use her position as head of government or her moral authority to prevent the violence. the next step, the report says, is to refer myanmar to the international criminal court. live in geneva about an hour ago, i asked one of the panel how serious the crimes were. what happened in the crimes were. what happened in the myanmar is on a parallel with the myanmar is on a parallel with the worst kinds of crimes under international law that can be encountered. the findings we have produced today reflect the gravity of the situation and the

seriousness, the brutality of what occurred. the difficulties you had presumably were getting access. there will be some who will say a lot of this evidence by nature has had to be second—hand. how would you respond? it was not second-hand. we had no access to myanmar but there are literally hundreds of thousands of people who have been victims of human rights violations in myanmar who are no longer there. that's one of the very point the investigation, that people have been driven from myanmar because of what has happened. we have interviewed 875 people in the camps, in bangladesh, in thailand, malaysia, in indonesia, even the uk. we have no shortage of victims of and survivors to talk to. we also had the benefit of satellite imagery, video footage and photographs we were able to verify. we had expert forensic, military,

child psychology, gender violence experts who were able to assist us. we had no shortage of evidence whatsoever. do you accept that there we re whatsoever. do you accept that there were some violent acts committed by armed groups from within the rohingya community, which is the justification the military gave for the cracked home, albeit that would not justify the the cracked home, albeit that would notjustify the kind of things you saw done. we certainly accept there we re saw done. we certainly accept there were two categories of violent acts committed on the part of the group arakan rohingya salvation army. two categories. one concerned attacks on military and police bases, the second concerned undoubted human rights abuses. we now of the killings of people who were suspected informants and we also know of the burning of one ethnic rakhine village. so yes there were

certainly it human rights abuses committed on the part of aersa. but there is no comparison with the scale, the celtic, the number of victims as a result of the military‘s actions. —— the scale, the brutality. we are not defending aersa we're asserting there were serious human rights violations for which arsa is responsible. but we have no doubt where the predominant response ability lies, which is with the burma military. we can now get the thoughts of dr tom macmanus from the international state crime initiative at queen mary's university, an academic forum focused on human rights abuses and violence by governments. first, what you make of the report and should we be surprised? we welcome the report. it's the first time we have had anyone go this far and use the word genocide when

talking about the persecution of the rohingya. i'm not at all surprised. i think the only fair conclusion they could have hunted after investigation. a report in butter with 2015 warrant —— a report in october 2015 warned. and the execution the range every seed from the burmese government over the last 5-6 the burmese government over the last 5—6 years in particular but also 30 years or more, this is not a surprising conclusion. anti-range of prejudice has existed in burma for decades. —— anti—rohingya. there are those who say politicians have done little or nothing to discourage it. what do you make of the role of the civilian leadership, particularly woodland, who was regarded by the west, many anywhere, but the kind of champion of liberal democracy? —— particularly woodland. —— aung san

suu kyi. we perhaps that for political perspective rather than her father who helped found the country. i myself even campaign for her release, years ago, and it's beena her release, years ago, and it's been a huge disappointment to see aung san suu kyi's reaction to the treatment of the rohingya. but she hasn'tjust remained treatment of the rohingya. but she hasn't just remained silent, treatment of the rohingya. but she hasn'tjust remained silent, she's actually come out, using the political capital that she has built up political capital that she has built up overthe years, political capital that she has built up over the years, to bright cover for the military campaign. up over the years, to bright cover forthe military campaign. —— up over the years, to bright cover for the military campaign. —— to provide cover. so she's actually complicit in the genocidal campaign. she has denied and deflected international attention which allowed the military to carry out theircampaign. and even allowed the military to carry out their campaign. and even recently, if you days ago, we have aung san suu kyi saying she worked with the military and they are sweet individuals. and again, she'sjust

providing them more cover. and it's incredibly disappointing. the report does distinguish between the roles of civilians and military nsaids, in the end, the people who gave the orders that led to the killing —— and says in the end, the people who permitted tactics including rape as a weapon of war are the ones in uniforms. they are the ones who presumably have to face possible indictment. that's right, the military themselves are a the perpetrators of the genocidal campaign against the rohingya. they are the main actors and perpetrators. but if we want to look at complicity there are other actors, including the civilian government and the local rakhine parliament who have helped stoke the hatred against the rohingya and have denied access, and basically provided cover. thank you very much. and we will find out how the

revelations about myanmar and other stories are correct in tomorrow's newspapers at 10:1i0pm and ii 30 pm in the papers. police in the west midlands have named the man they're hunting for in connection with the fatal stabbing of two women in solihull. he is 21 year old janbaz tarin. the victims have been identified as his former partner raneem ou—deh and and her mother. the people's vote campaign, which wants a new referendum ina in a moment, we willjoin viewers on bbc one with simon mccoy who will have a full round—up of the national and international news. but before that. the people's vote campaign, which wants a new referendum on brexit, is attempting to change labour party policy. that's according to a leaked memo. it wants mps and activists to submit a motion at the labour conference next month, committing the party

to backing a new referendum on the final brexit deal. well, earlier i asked the general secretary of the group labour leave — brendan chilton — about the hopes some members have of changing labour policy. there is nothing wrong with trying to change policy. the labour party conference is the sovereign body for policy making and for debating policies within the labour party. however, i think it would be a tremendous folly to try and change no, but the labour party has made it very clear that we accept the outcome of the referendum. jeremy corbyn was the first major uk party political leader to call for article 50 to be invoked. 70% of labour constituencies voted to leave the european union. we have the top leave constituencies represented by labour mps and of course our manifesto last year committed to ending freedom of movement, to leaving the european union and to accepting the outcome. given that we won back millions of ukip supporters and held un human rights investigators criticise myanmar‘s leader aung san suu kyi over the country's treatment of rohingya muslims. hundreds of thousands of people fled to bangladesh, to escape violence.

the un says that military leaders, who it has named, should appear before the international criminal court on charges of genocide. it is not only aboutjustice it is not only about justice for victims but also deterring future activity if you allow this to grow without any kind of sanction then every army in the world will think they can do it. we'll look at the implications of the un's report. also on tonight's programme: a woman and her mother are stabbed to death on the streets of the west midlands. police name a man they want to question. the cost of britain's cold snap and heatwave: the price of food is set to rise because of this year's extreme weather. clashing even in death, the growing row as president trump raises the white house flag from half—mast, just two days after the death of senatorjohn mccain. we good evening.

un human rights investigators say military leaders in myanmar should be investigated for genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity and have called for them to be referred to the international criminal court. in an unprecedented move, the investigators named six top generals, including the commander in chief of the armed forces and his deputy. un investigators interviewed hundreds of victims and found evidence of murder, rape, and torture against the rohingya predominately in myanmar‘s rakhine state. more than 700,000 of them have fled into bangladesh. our myanmar correspondent nick beake sent this report from cox's bazaar in bangladesh. a warning, it contains some distressing accounts and flash photography. for a year now, in this bleak

landscape, the rohingya have been suffering, bereaved, uprooted, lost. giving harrowing accounts of the brutality they say they suffered at the hands of the myanmar military. today, we met rashid. he says they murdered 12 of his relatives. translation: they made the men stand and the women and children squat on the ground. then they opened fire, and killed the men. then they took the women inside the house and set it on fire. he's convinced it was genocide. and so, while he welcomes today's call for the top generals to be tried for that crime, he thinks it is all too late for so many. translation: ifjustice is done, then people who are living will see it. but what about those who were slaughtered ? my mother, my brothers,

my nephews, my uncle, can they bring them back? they can't do it. tula toli is the village in myanmar from which rashid fled. the killing, rape and arson here is said to be part of a co—ordinated campaign by the army. it is notjustjustice for victims, but deterring future activity; if we allow this to go without any kind of sanction, then every army in the world will think they can do this. this is the most detailed and blistering criticism yet of the actions of myanmar‘s military last year, actions which forced hundreds of thousands of rohingya people to flee across the border to these camps where they are still trapped. but there is also strong criticism of myanmar‘s civilian government, in particular, its nobel peace prize winning

leader, aung san suu kyi. she is accused of failing to use her moral authority to prevent the violence, and by ignoring the plight of the rohingya her government made it easierfor the crimes to be carried out. there's been no reaction from her, her government, or the generals. the army has always claimed it was only clearing out militants. a claim now wholly rejected by the united nations. bringing the commander—in—chief and his comrades to court will not be easy, but today feels like a significant step forward in the pursuit ofjustice for the rohingya people. our diplomatic correspondent paul adams joins me now. these are political decisions, not

moral decisions, the un security council should, in its words, ensure accountability for these crimes, prefera bly accountability for these crimes, preferably by referring this to the international criminal court. alternatively, by creating what it calls an ad hoc international criminal tribunal, such as we saw for the former yugoslavia. until saturday tribunal is convened, it says the general assembly should, or the un human rights council should create an impartial mechanism to assemble evidence surrounding this case. and that is similar to what is already going on for syria where there was not an international tribunal but there is a process of evidence gathering that is quietly going on. those are the mechanisms they are recommending, will the un security council be prepared to move? china will be a significant obstacle, bobby russia, too, myanmar is not without its allies, still, so that could prove a problem. ——

probably russia. aung san suu kyi, her reputation has been steadily declining over the last couple of yea rs, declining over the last couple of years, is declining over the last couple of yea rs, is pretty declining over the last couple of years, is pretty much shattered. she seems to be in denial, she gave a speech just the other day, a brief glimpse of it there are, where she did not mention at all the situation in any of these problems, and in rahine state, talking about them being the most beautiful beaches in myanmar. it seems she is out of touch with reality, whether she is even a usefulfigure touch with reality, whether she is even a useful figure for the myanmar military, now that she is so internationally minister, that is in question. her authority in all sorts of ways is at rock bottom. police have named a man they want to question after a mother and her daughter were stabbed to death in the street in solihull, in the west midlands in the early hours of this morning. danjohnson is in solihull for us. yes, it has been a difficult day for eve ryo ne yes, it has been a difficult day for everyone here, there is a family traumatised and grieving, a

neighbourhood stunned by what has happened, and a police force that is involved in an intense double murder investigation and a manhunt. in the last hour, we learned more from west midlands police about the women who died here and about the man they think was responsible. where is this man, the 21—year—old believed to have stabbed to death his former girlfriend and mother late last night, 22 years old, her mother, 49. their family late last night, 22 years old, her mother, 49. theirfamily says late last night, 22 years old, her mother, 49. their family says they are devastated by their loss. and this is where they died, a double murder investigation is now under way in this quiet suburban close, a peaceful sunday evening was interrupted just after midnight when neighbours heard a man shouting in a foreign language, and then there we re foreign language, and then there were screams. we thought it was animals or something, like a fox, we heard some noises, generally foxes

come in the night, we thought it was something like that. then afterwards police knocked on the door. they askedif police knocked on the door. they asked if we have seen anything. we heard shouting and screaming. he was barking all night until about half past three. did it sound serious? it did buti past three. did it sound serious? it did but i thought somebody was messing about. i have been here for six, eight years, something like that. yes, a fine family, they do not trouble anybody, they get on with our lives. the main focus of the crime scene investigation work is that patch of grass, screened off in front of those houses, we have been told the family actually lived here in this house. detectives are questioning people inside, we have been told there are other younger children. the family car has also been examined. west midlands police had previous contact with the

family, so the independent office for police conduct has been informed. detectives say they are working flat out to find janbaz tarin. they have warned people not to approach him, and appealed directly, saying he should do the right thing and contact them. new research suggests that the price of meat, vegetables and dairy products will rise by at least 5% in the coming months because of this year's extreme weather. the centre for economics and business research said the winter freeze, followed by the recent heatwave, had put huge strain on farming costs and yields. duncan kenendy has this report. 2018 has been a year of weather extremes, from the beast in the east to the wilting temperatures of high summer. for many farmers, the buffeting of the seasons has brought pressures that will soon have an impact on consumers. we have fed this winter's silage which we would normally feed during the winter, we've had to feed to the cows during the summer

and so we're running out of feed and having to buy in a significant amount of supplementary feed to feed the cows today and we're looking at a huge feeding bill for this winter. that will put our feed price up by about 4p per litre. now an economics research group says farmers' costs and the struggle to produce enough food is pushing up wholesale vegetable prices and some dairy prices. between march and july, the farm gate price, the price of produce direct from the farmer, rocketed. carrots went up 80%. there was a 41% rise in the cost of onions. the wheat needed for bread went up 20%. and the price of butter climbed 24%. the researchers say all this has a knock—on effect and with some other products here and in europe also set to get more expensive, the monthly shopping bill will go up. we expect it will cost uk consumers £16 million per week and that equates to £7.15 per month, per household. so what do consumers think of that?

we stopped by in winchester to ask a few. what do you think of the idea of putting up prices by 5%, £7 per month, because of all this extreme weather? it happens doesn't it? can you cope with that? well, we have to. it's absolute rubbish. rubbish. how did they work that out? i don't honestly believe it'sjust because of the weather. well if you've got to support the british farming community, then that's what we'll have to go with. the department for food and rural affairs told us it's not only the weather that affects food prices. it says it is helping affected farmers and that some producers like high temperatures. but whether we swelter or shiver, we live in a climate dependent food chain and that has costs. duncan kennedy, bbc news. police in florida are trying

to work out why a man opened fire at a video game conference injacksonville, killing two other people and himself, and wounding at least 11 people. some witnesses have suggested that david katz, who was 2a, started shooting after losing a game. jon donnison reports. a florida shopping mall hosting a gaming tournament, the venue for america's latest mass shooting. inside, contestants were playing an american football video game. then suddenly, the sound of gunfire. gunfire. and the screens disconnected. we heard a pop and we thought it was a balloon pop, the way it sounded. but then comes the realisation, you know, that somebody back there is shooting, so we just basically got down and crawled out for our lives. by the time armed police arrived, two people were dead and the gunman had also killed himself.

the single suspect in this case is a white male and this is pending confirmation but we believe the suspect to be 24—year—old david katz from baltimore, maryland. the fbi is assisting us with that leg of the investigation in baltimore. this is david katz at a gaming event he won in 2017. it's reported this time, he started shooting when he lost. i'm way more upset that someone got this upset over a game than anything. it's just a simple game. it's nothing crazy. to the politicians, wake up, because the people are dying on the streets and you guys are going through the same motions over and over and over again. does it take for someone close to you to lose their lives to gun violence for you to wake up and realise to do something? but experience tells us change is unlikely. this was a vigil following the parkland school shooting, also in florida, in february, which left 17 people dead. guns have killed more than 9,500 people in america this year, not including suicides.

on average in 2018, there's been a mass shooting every day. jon donnison, bbc news. a leaked memo suggests that a pro—eu campaign group will try to enlist the support of labour members at the party's conference next month. the people's vote group, which wants a new brexit referendum on any final deal, wants labour mps and activists to try to change party policy to support a second vote. but the campaign says it isn't an attempt to challenge the labour leaderjeremy corbyn. cholera is lethal. the acute disease, caused by contaminated water, will kill its victims within hours if left untreated and its now endemic in more than 50 countries. the world health organisation has estimated there are close to 4 million cases of cholera each year.

worldwide, un researchers say at least 143,000 people die from it. but it can be prevented. yemen is using a new system that's slashed cholera cases by 95%. our science correspondent, pallab ghosh has this report. overwhelmed by cholera, last year, there were a million cases in yemen, more than 2000 people died. many of them children. this is because, a sanitation system that can't cope with heavy rainfall, leading to infected sewage flowing into the streets. but now, there is some relief. these health workers are focusing their efforts in areas before the rain comes, and an outbreak begins. the hygiene advice they give is simple, but it had an incredible effect. it's made a huge difference, we used to have colleagues

on the ground that need to predict when and where an outbreak might occur, is extremely valuable, so rather than responding to the number of cases that might have been notified to them, they can use this technology in their monthly planning meetings to allocate logistics, supplies and response capability to particular communities. at the met office, meteorologists and government scientists have developed a system that predicts where cholera outbreaks will occur four weeks in advance. they produce a map which combines satellite rain forecasts with information about areas of high population density. the red areas show the places that are most likely to have an outbreak, and that's where the health teams are sent. the satellite data has enabled aid workers on the ground to stay one step ahead of outbreaks. last year there was more than 50,000 suspected cases, in just one week. this year, that was down to around 2500 cases. that's a decrease of nearly 95%.

it is hoped that the forecast could be made further ahead, which would cut the number of cases even further. we would like to extend the predictions from four—weeks to eight weeks, that would enable us to not only plan prevention activities, in terms of access to clean water and health education, but also potentially deploy a vaccine and deliver a vaccine as part of that prevention. there are concerns by the un that another wave of the epidemic may be on its way, the early results of the new system are encouraging and there are plans to deploy the technology in other cholera hotspots. a weight—loss pill has been hailed as a breakthrough in the fight against obesity — after a major study showed it did not increase the risk of serious heart problems. but critics say the weight loss of those taking part was minimal — and lifestyle changes would have more impact. our health correspondent sophie hutchinson takes a look at the findings. for yea rs

for years the race has been on to find a weight—loss pill that is safe, it's been a perilousjourney with some pals withdrawn from the market because of dangerous side effects. but could this little blue pill be the answer? scientists from harvard medical school have published research in the new england journal of medicine showing in particular that the pill does not increase the risk of cardiovascular problems such as strokes and heart disease. having a pharmacologic weight—loss agent, a pill to assist with weight loss that is no proven to be safe from a cardiovascular perspective is important and it's the first time we have had that. it's an appetite suppressant that works by activating receptors in the brain to trigger feelings of being fooled. of the 12,000 overweight or obese people who took part in the trial those who took the drug lost

on averagejust over trial those who took the drug lost on average just over half a stone in a year. critics say at a cost of around £200 a month it's a relatively expensive option for a small lead of weight—loss and many argue lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise would be a more effective way of tackling the uk's obesity problem and it's time the nhs made it a priority. the nhs could do much more to treat obesity much more seriously than it is. we know already that if doctors spent 30 seconds of the patient they can motivate that person to undertake the kinds of behavioural changes that will lead to long—term weight loss and also will save the nhs money in the long term. the government has an obesity strategy and is looking as part of its long—term plan to make obesity one of the nhs‘s priorities in england. as for this drug, it's been licensed for use in america but the question is will europe given the green light

to? as the prime minister heads to africa to discuss trade ? britain is facing an increasingly bitter tug—of—war with one of its former african colonies — mauritius. the two countries are divided over the chagos islands —— a former british colony in the indian ocean, which used to be part of mauritius but which was detached in 1965 and is now home to a us airbase. next week mauritius will argue before the united nation stop court — the international court ofjustice — that britain should return the chagos islands. andrew harding sent this report. it's a serene setting for a diplomatic storm. today the tiny tourist paradise of mauritius is taking on the british government and against all odds, it may be winning. at stake, the fate of these slivers of land, the chagos islands. legally they belong to britain. decades ago the entire population was thrown off the islands by british troops so that the largest atoll could be converted into a military base for the united states.

at the time mauritius wanted to keep the islands but it was still a british colony, prime minister harold wilson told a delegation the fate of the chagos islands was non—negotiable. only one person at that meeting is still alive today to recall wilson's ultimatum to the demolition leader. to recall wilson's ultimatum to the leader. he told him if you don't agree to what i am proposing, then forget about independance, you will go back, mauritius will remain our colony. will belong to us, will do what we want. blackmail then? that was real blackmail. today on mauritius those families deported from the chagos islands conjure up the tastes and smells of home. and sing laments about the paradise the british forced them to leave. sammy was 36 when he

left, now he's 81. we even had to leave our dog behind, he remembers. i just want to go home so i can die there in peace. for decades britain has said no. but now a team of international lawyers is helping mauritius to fight back, to try to reclaim the islands. and quite unexpectedly, in the united nations, the world is backing against britain. one way of looking at this story is of truly the end of empire and the end of colonialism. coinciding with the moment where britain seems to be turning inward, losing on a serious scale its international support. but that hasn't stopped britain from playing tough. sources close to the mauritian

government have told us they were threatened by the then foreign secretary boris johnson. i must say that unfortunately we have been threatened with retaliation, in terms of trade, in terms of politics. by britain? by britain and by the americans also. this is boris johnson picking up the phone? well, i have had a number of people from the uk, from the us, talking to me. phoning you up and threatening you? well, we have had verbal threats, i must say. it's a remarkable claim, did the british government threaten a trade war with tiny mauritius, a close ally? the foreign office wouldn't respond to that question but said... an old british fort looms over

the capital mauritius, a reminder of past power struggles. today britain is being dragged reluctantly to court in this territorial dispute, the un's highest tribunal will hear arguments next week. for generations britain has clung on to the crumbs of its old empire, that was one of the perks of being a global power. but today the alliances, the deals that underpinned all that are wobbling. and out here in the middle of the indian ocean we are starting to see the results. there is no guarantee yet that the islanders will be allowed back home, that mauritius will win what it sees as the battle for its full independence. but britain's grip is weakening and the hopes of those it exiled

so long ago are getting stronger. andrew harding, bbc news, mauritius. just two days after the death of senatorjohn mccain — president trump is facing criticism for not continuing to fly the us flag at half—staff at the white house and elsewhere. it was lowered at the weekend, but raised again today ? far earlier than would normally be the case. from washington, nick bryant reports. washington withoutjohn mccain is a lesser place. he was a human landmark in this city, an american hero whose broken body personified the land of the brave. flags at the us capital remained at half staff in honour of his sacrifice and service. but at the white house where the flag was lowered at the weekend, no such act of ongoing remembrance today. ordinarily when a figure of the stature ofjohn mccain passes away, the us president issues a proclamation, ordering flags to remain at half—mast until the burial. but donald trump chose not to do

that, and he also stopped white house aides from issuing a written statement calling the former pow a hero. in a tweet, donald trump paid his deepest sympathies and respect to the mccain family, but had no kind words for the man himself. thank you and congratulations, that's a fantastic thing. and today he praised the mexican president as they announced a new trade deal but refused to pay tribute to one of america's most revered figures. shouting. john mccain survived nearly six years as a prisoner of war in vietnam and turned down the offer of early release even though he was being tortured. but when donald trump ran for the presidency he mocked the former navy pilot. he's not a war hero. he's a war hero because he was captured. i like people that weren't captured, ok?

i hate to tell you. john mccain was a fierce critic of the trump presidency and the flag row symbolises a broader debate as to who best embodies the values of modern america. nick bryant, bbc news, washington. time for a look at the weather, here's stav da naos. good evening, today vastly better than yesterday but that is not too difficult, for the rest of this week high pressure largely controlled, it should be mainly dry apart from a little bit of rain across north—western areas and it will feel warmer with the winds generally lighter. the rest of the evening and overnight it should be dry, clear skies, across parts of england and wales and southern areas we should see mist and fog developing, some on the inside. good tarryn bright chilly, the north—west corner of the country we see a more breeze, outbreaks of rain into northern ireland as the day wears on but elsewhere after a bright start the cloud tending to build into the

afternoon, should see variable cloud and sunny spells and temperatures similarto and sunny spells and temperatures similar to today's, 19—21, 22 in the side. into tuesday evening the weather encroaches further into northern ireland and scotland but a dying feature as it continues to spread south east, this is the big picture for wednesday, the weather moving south—east and fizzling out but then we turn our attention to this low pressure from the continent which is giving us a headache. uncertainty as to how far west it will move. we think it will grace the south—east of england during the course of wednesday, the weather centre in south east and fizzling out to no more than a band of cloud. not a bad day on the whole, good spells of sunshine, temperatures again 17—21, perhaps more fresh in the north—west corner. ending the week high—pressure largely dominating, it should be on the dry side with sunny spells, warmer and signs of it getting warmer still across parts of england and wales as we head into the weekend. no sign of

an intense heatwave but things are warming up slightly. that's all from the bbc news for now. we'll be back at ten o'clock tonight, on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are. hello and welcome to sportsday. coming up on the programme... andy murray's back in grand slam action at the us open. we'll have all the latest from day one at flushing meadows. it's not been a good week forjose mourinho as manchester united stutter at the start of the season. they play spurs at old trafford tonight. and has the halo proven its worth? formula 1 bosses think so, following a near miss at the belgian grand prix. hello and welcome to sportsday. hello and welcome to the programme

spurs have started the season well, but they have an awful record at old trafford, having lost there more than any side in premier league history. our sports correspondent andy swiss will be watching. jose mourinho first of all, he seemed pretty tetchy all season and we are only a month in, not much has changed for this match? yeah, it seems ridiculous to talk about a manager under pressure just two games into the season but certainly jose mourinho has cut a pretty unhappy figure in recent weeks. he was frustrated over the summer about the lack of new signings, particularly in defence. there has been talk of tension between him and the vice—chairman ed woodward and also talk of tension with some of the players. and then there was that pretty terrible performance against brighton last weekend followed by this bizarre press conference on friday, where jose this bizarre press conference on friday, wherejose mourinho turned

up friday, wherejose mourinho turned up halfan friday, wherejose mourinho turned up half an hour early, there weren't many journalists there and up half an hour early, there weren't manyjournalists there and then he spoke for barely four minutes, he was ina spoke for barely four minutes, he was in a pretty tetchy mood and when asked what style he was trying to play, this is what he said... a winning style, don't make defensive mistakes, be dominant, create chances, score goals and go home with the three points. we want to win all the time, we want to play well all the time. we don't want to make mistakes. that's what we always wa nt make mistakes. that's what we always want to. still not happy! you would think on paper that spurs would be the favourites but as i mentioned earlier on, they have a dreadful buckle at old trafford? yes, totte n ha m buckle at old trafford? yes, tottenham have lost 21 times in the premier league at old trafford, that is the worst away record in premier league history. in fact they've lost their last four matches at old trafford without scoring a single goal. yes, they have made a pretty good start to the season, winning

their first two matches but their manager knows that they also have plenty to prove. and you don't believe that i am not in the same position, with the pressure? ifeel the pressure every week, every week. of course, during the year it is different but every game that we are going to play you are under pressure in case you perform well and you win the game. but if you lose and you don't perform in the way that you expecting a pressure touches your. and we are always under pressure. and we are always under pressure. and as far as tottenham are concerned there will also be focus on their captain ugo lloris after he was charged with drink—driving in london on friday. he has since issued a, public apology and it will be interesting to see weather he keeps his place in the line up tonight. scottish premiership leaders hearts say their manager craig levein

believed that we could do it, so when the final buzzer went i felt more of a relief and obviously in relation for winning a world championships, that we have managed to do it. what was it like? i agree, the relief, all the work you've put in overthe the relief, all the work you've put in over the last year or so, it really is the relief, the elation first of all but the relief of realising that you've got a little bit of time to stop and think about the achievements that you've just done, really. you've brought back a pretty huge trophy, let's be realistic, for pa ralympics pretty huge trophy, let's be realistic, for paralympics gb, who is going to take this one home?|j think is going to take this one home?” think i've got to take it home for now. . . think i've got to take it home for now... hopefully not need! i think the gb office will be pretty keen to try and get it back into a pretty big trophy cabinet. indeed and there is an individual trophy for you, you bring back most valuable player, we re bring back most valuable player, were you expecting to win that? definitely not! not sure what the youngest mpp in the past was but being only 2011 definitely did not
