now it's time for a look at the weather with darren bett. hello there. it has been warm in the sunshine today, a little chilly when the cloud comes over. we will find more cloud arriving overnight from the north—west. that will bring rain as well. initially across scotland and northern ireland, then moving into western england and wales, quite heavy rain at times. with much more cloud around tonight, it is not as chilly as last night, except perhaps in east anglia where we will have clearer skies for a bit longer. but tomorrow is quite a messy day, cloudy day, some outbreaks of rain, some rain pushing into eastern england, for northern areas the rain eases off through the afternoon, it may brighten up a touch. but the wettest weather continues to be in wales and the south—west. some heavy rain, possibly thundery, and it will a chilly day under that cloud. temperatures only 1a, 15 degrees in many areas, for tuesday, things look a little brighter. there is a bit of cloud here that might produce one or two showers, but on the whole it's a drier day, with some sunshine.

it will feel quite a lot warmer as well, but there is some wet and windy weather there in the north—west later on. hello, this is bbc news. iam martine i am martine croxall. the headlines: amber rudd quits borisjohnson‘s cabinet, attacking his handling of brexit —

good evening. australia have retained the ashes. england needed to bat out the final day of the fourth test to keep the series alive, but lost their last wicket with a little over 13 overs of the match remaining. it hands australia a 2—1 lead with one match in the series remaining. andy swiss is at old trafford. andy, it was a thrilling finish, wasn't it? england's lower order doing the best, but it was always going to be a tall order, and so it proved. it was ultimatelyjust a miracle too far as far as england we re miracle too far as far as england were concerned this summer, john. you are right, it was always going to bea you are right, it was always going to be a pretty tall order to survive the whole of the final day, particularly losing to rick at yesterday, and that's exactly how it turned out to be —— particularly losing those neck wickets yesterday.

ben stokes out, the hero of headingley, he quickly wins. at that point, this seems to be no way back for england. the impressive half—ce ntu ry for england. the impressive half—century give them some hope. at that point, england fans perhaps starting to believe, but once again the wickets started to fall. jonny ba i rstow, for the wickets started to fall. jonny bairstow, for 25. then josh the wickets started to fall. jonny bairstow, for 25. thenjosh butler had —— then jos —— thenjos buttler had a go. ultimately, the last to go was craig overton. england 197 all out. they had battled really hard. it wasn't until quarter past 6pm that australia got that winning wicket, but ultimately it wasn't to be. it is australia that retain the ashes, andi is australia that retain the ashes, and i think the mutuals will

certainly agree they have the been the better team of the course of this ashes series. just looking at those pictures of the australia team celebrating. in the back, we see steve smith. at times, it has felt like steve smith versus england. it really has been his series so far. it has. steve smith has been the difference, because they are quite similar. both batting sides on the vulnerable side, but steve smith has been the exception to that. he got 82 yesterday. that was the lowest score the entire series from steve smith the entire series. ready remarkable. he averaged well over 100 this series. particularly since he served a one—year suspension for his role in the ball tampering

scandal, he proves... for the moment, andy swiss @ old trafford for us, thank you. looking to go on a high and finish that last test. ferrari's charles leclerc won a dramatic italian grand prix at monza — the team's first on home soilfor nine years. after a race—long battle, he just held of the mercedes of valtteri bottas and lewis hamilton, for his second victory in a row. adam wild has more. there is nowhere in formula 1 quite like monza. nowhere is the passion, the expectation more keenly felt than with those in the scarlet red of ferrari. it's been almost a decade since their last home victory, all the high hopes now resting with charles leclerc. at 21, he has the road ahead of him — but at monza, everyone else behind, including ferrari team—mate sebastian vettel, his hopes left in a spin. in trouble first on the track, and then for the way he got back on it.

a penalty ending his chances. now leclerc just had to stay ahead of mercedes. where one is driven by lewis hamilton, that is quite some feat. hamilton would try again, only to find it ended any hopes he had. valtteri bottas couldn't catch leclerc‘s ferrari either, sparking wild celebrations off and on the track. monza, a town once more painted red. adam wild, bbc news. can rafa nadal move to within one of roger federer‘s haul of 20 grand slam titles? he faces danil medvedev in the final of the us open in the next few hours, a player who's featuring in a major finalfor the first time. russell fuller is in new york. we have of course spoken a lot about records this week, serena williams hoping to draw level with margaret court's record. she fell short. is there enough in the evidence to think rafa nadal get over the line
