that's it. now on bbc one, time for the news where you are. hello, and welcome to sportsday. i'mjohn watson. it's back, week one of the champions league group phase. there's a familiar feeling of deja vu for the holders liverpool in italy. barkley leaves lampard feeling blue on his european return. stokes takes aim at the sun newspaper and receives the backing of the ecb. and wales send home their right—hand man, leaving gatland with plenty to ponder.

liverpool began the defence of their champions legaue title in naples tonight, familiar surroundings, having lost to napoli in the group stage last season on their way to winning a sixth european title. and that may serve as some confort tonight, because they slipped to another defeat. nick parrott was watching. liverpool's path the european glory last season was far from easy. and a repeat of their defeat to nap illegal but in the first reigning champions for a quarter—century to lose their opening match. the italians were determined to make history from the start but were in the wrong place at the wrong time to make it count. liverpool's success of them built on strong defence and

devastating attack but both were absent for much of the match. their fabled front three were struggling to find the range. but on his champions league debut, one was on fine form. a hero in their super cup chelsea once again saving the day. his opposite number was just as good at keeping napoli in contention. but if liverpool were summoned to look stronger, they were undone at. first bya stronger, they were undone at. first by a misjudgment from andy robertson and was punished. then more surprisingly, am a state from virgil van to this piling on the ministry —— misery. that does not happen too often they are with virgil van dijk the backbone of that defence. under manager frank lampard, chelsea have prioritised youth in this season. and one of their emerging talents, mason mount, was forced off 15 minutes into his european debut. ross barkley will take the headlines, though, missing a penalty as they lost to valencia at stamford bridge.

here's austin halewood. is the chelsea hero who capped and then to the trophy but frank lampard has never watched a champions league from this position. his young team are valencia, the spanish psycho seated five on saturday and just try to open up early on but when the break never came to grew and breached the chelsea defence with a run from roderigo. he trucker had a speu run from roderigo. he trucker had a spell at bolton on his way to the top. he found a route out of trouble and towards goal, his or her part for chelsea was just 15 minutes ago. but they would get away back into this match through the fine lines of review. a check with the screens told the referee this get a hand in the box. he's given the point. ross barkley went to take it with other interested parties and with that discussion came distraction. my goodness me! the mass costjust to their first goodness me! the mass costjust to theirfirst home goodness me! the mass costjust to their first home defeat in europe

for three years. a difficult group, the blues are playing catch up. austin hale would become a difficult group, the blues are playing catch up. austin hale wood, bbc news. lionel messi made his first appearance of the season off the bench as barcelona, knocked out by liverpool in the semi—finals last season, drew 0—0 at german giants borussia dortmund. it was dortmund who dominated the game, but markos reus saw his penalty saved by marc andre ter stegen, and julian brandt‘s late effort hit the bar. barcelona gave a champions league debut to 16—year—old ansu fati. a total of eight matches tonight. the most goals coming in austria as red bull salzburg beat genk 6—2, featuring a hat trick from 19—year—old norwegian striker erling haaland, son of former forest, leeds and man city midfielder alf inge haaland. in group f, inter grabbed a late equaliser to avoid a shock defeat at home to slavia prague. in group g, memphis depay scored a second half penalty as lyon

problem with him? injured this morning. how bad is it? for five weeks, six weeks. his reaction says it all. neymar‘s champions league ban for insulting match officials on social media has been reduced from three games to two following an appeal. the brazilian still misses psg's opening champions league matches against real madrid and galatasaray, but will now be available for trip to club bruges next month. neymar criticised the awarding of a last—minute penalty in his side's loss to manchester united in the champions league in march. the england and wales cricket board have backed ben stokes after the player condemned a story in today's sun newspaper detailing tragic family events from over 30 years ago. the newspaper defended its journalism, saying a family member had cooperated in the story. joe lynskey can bring us the background.

ben stokes released a statement this morning: this front page of story despicable and utterly disgusting. he says he cannot think of anything more immoral heartless or contemptuous to the feelings and circumstances of him and his family. he has been the only english cricket but one of english port's icons of the summer. his innings and made him a national hero and he says he's aware that brings with it a public profile but that should not be used as an excuse profile but that should not be used as an excuse to invade the rights of his family, especially his mother, who he says will have lifelong consequences because of what has happened today. the paper has offended its journalism and the reporter who sourced the story. the paper says the details were disclosed by a family member of ben stokes he was not only happy to talk but pose for pictures and provide photos of those in the story. they said the content that it ben stokes himself to let him know what they we re himself to let him know what they were publishing. the employer's the

ecb have also offered their support to their all rounder today, as have his team—mates and figures from the wider sporting world on social media. england captain root them. but this whole incident throws into question with the balance is between press freedom and a major sports *‘s right to privacy and indeed if it's truly sensitive and dramatic stories like this one really are in the public interest. wales' world cup prepararions have been dealt a blow with the news backs coach rob howley has been sent home from japan for an alleged breach of world rugby‘s laws covering betting and anti—corruption. the preparations of one of the pre—tournament favourites affected after the backs coach was found to have breached world rugby‘s betting rules. hywell griffiths reports. he has been one of warren gatland —positive most trusted lieutenants for more than a decade but tonight rob howley is heading home amid serious allegations he broke betting rules and is now badly to salvage his reputation. since their arrival injapan,

his reputation. since their arrival in japan, wells his reputation. since their arrival injapan, wells has what will communities as a praise and this latest development goes to the heart of the integrity of the game. this castle long shadow over the welsh match. the caretaker who got wells to six nation success in 2013 is now likely to face a disciplinary hearing. team management move quickly to replace him. stephen jones on the left deem to join the national coaching staff after the world cup. part of the new coaching line—up. he is now flying to the far east and heading into a controversy reverberating throughout the rugby world. the world cup campaign begins injust six days world. the world cup campaign begins in just six days but instead of talking about a tournament ambition, focus now is a serious allegation concerning one of coaching staff. wales, along with ireland, who now top world rugby‘s rankings, are injapan, along with england. all three harbour genuine hopes of wresting the trophy from holders new zealand, who've won the last two editions. the former wales captain sam warburton believes they can all feel confident.

number one exchange so many times and itjust number one exchange so many times and it just shows number one exchange so many times and itjust shows how openness world cup he is. i think we should be genuinely excited about the welsh chances, the english chances and the average chances and getting to a world cup final. it is very real. those fans should be very excited. wells have not had the summer they would've liked but i am going to judge all the teams off their group stages and their big group games so those three teams in that front running pack along with south africa and new zealand of course to get to and new zealand of course to get to a world cup final. and world rugby boss bill beaumont insists he'll make sure rugby becomes a strong global game. it comes after plans for a nations championship were abandoned. he told us the sport's governing body will focus on making the less developed countries more competitive.

we are turned to look at less developed competitions and compositions where all the countries play in that and it could well be augmenting an existing competition that we have got like the six nations, or the america's cup or countries in europe as well. in many ways to but we're looking at and we are notjust sat on her hands to be nothing about it. i want to assure people that we will make certain we have a global game. england's netball team will feature in a new international competition scheduled to take place next year. jess thirlby‘s side will face jamaica, new zealand and south africa in nottingham, birmingham and london across four days in january in the vitality netball nations cup. it will be their first appearance in front of a home crowd since the world cup in liverpool during the summer. and you wonder if all the successes over the summer who will feature at

of the institute of economic affairs, a free market think—tank. welcome to you both. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the metro leads with the opening of the trial of the four people accused of murdering 17—year—old jodie chesney, who was stabbed in a park in east london earlier this year. the ft says climate activists are wasting their time lobbying investors to ditch fossil fuel stocks. it also has a story about the handover of the bank of england governor's role being delayed until after the next general election. the telegraph leads with comments from the us ambassador showing solidarity with boris johnson over brexit. mort brexit in the guardian, which looks ahead to the labour party conference next week and howjeremy corbyn will negotiate a deal with the eu if he was prime minister. the times leaves with a warning from the

prime minister that the supreme court has no jurisdiction over his decision to suspend parliament. the i also lead to the supreme court hearing and the claims that boris johnson has abused his power. and the daily mail says record numbers of young adults are being diagnosed with diabetes because of the obesity epidemic. so a variety of front pages but events in the supreme court are on most of them. let's start there with the daily telegraph once again the future in the hands of the supreme court and this is the supreme court adjudicating on whether boris johnson broke the law when he suspended parliament. that's right and was prominent and suspension, people in westminster have not got much to do so they are spending the day whiling with their time watching this court case on tv of which is been live streamed, unusual for the court case in this country. but it is fascinating because what we are seeing is a real constitutional clash of the sort we don't see very

often in this country. as a court have power of or the prime minister can do and how does that play with where parliament's can do and how does that play with where pa rliament‘s power can do and how does that play with where parliament's power is? it is a real jostling of where parliament's power is? it is a realjostling of the different power players in westminster. all happening within half a mile of each other. and it is fascinating to watch. i think great characters and thejudges all seem to watch. i think great characters and the judges all seem to be lords and very senior qcs. and to watch it play out, you really are seeing british history being played out before your eyes. what did you make of it, k? it is somewhat spectacular and not necessarily in the moment because the legaljargon that not even the brightest person can understand this is only the second time the 11 supreme courtjudges have sat together. they are considering whether or not boris johnson possible decision to peru parliament was lawful. the water application of that is whether or not he misled the queen when calling for the suspension of parliament. if it were to be shown or decided that

he did come of the water application so he did come of the water application so that are huge as it jacks as have the courts can interfere with the political agenda and then also political agenda and then also political questions that parliament comes back in session what exactly to the remainders do at that point. they have ruled out general election and for the majority at least agree that they want to avoid noted when they cannot come up with a deal so putting the wider implications aside, presently speaking, not obvious what is next for brexit. borisjohnson has obvious what is next for brexit. boris johnson has made obvious what is next for brexit. borisjohnson has made a submission to the court as part of the case which i think is in the front of the times. judges warned to stay neutral. and he says a very clear terms that they believe they have no jurisdiction and should not be getting involved in this. that does getting involved in this. that does get to the crux of it. in other countries, in america example, the courts are a power player in these source of struggle. a system of checks and balances defined clearly and this is how they keep a check on

each other. in the uk, we are not really use of that happening as much and so it is fastening to see if this case could be the moment we do start to move in that direction. 0r it could be that this is not one for the courts and take a step back and let borisjohnson proceed with this plan as before. the key is the actual prorogation, suspension of parliament is actually a legal thing. so therefore is it not up to the courts to decide on matters of the courts to decide on matters of the law? notjust a little thing but have regularly that nobody batted an eyelid to until they recently raised in the context of brexit. it did not normally happen in the context like this. but it's usually only real to her ina this. but it's usually only real to her in a few extra days to take opted to go see a brexit for the queen's speech many previous years it's went through without a question for the feather it is not going to court is rather massive. there are pros and cons and bringing to court

in this decision—making where the us and the supreme court can have decisions appealed and the president is shot down. but also people accusing the court are becoming politicized in the us you see political appointments to courts. i am not sure if what you want to import. the other thing is this could be the precursor to another huge court case because of course pa rt huge court case because of course part of the reason borisjohnson or people think he is a spinning follower is because he did not wa nted follower is because he did not wanted to pass a law ruling out a note deal brexit within minutes to do that before he suspended parliament. there is some suggestion from downing street that he might try and ignore that law or get around that log next month. if he does so, that will end up back in the supreme court again and for a much more significant case and this one because in end, if they win this and the mps get to go at the parliament next week, what are they going to do this meant we don't really know. but that one, if it is britain's future could depend on the outcome of that court case if we get to that point also do believe that a

deal or not at the end of october equipment back in it being in the hands of the same 11 judges. whatever else is certain is a valuable keep lots of lawyers in work. let's turn to the guardian. they have a picture of gina miller and this discussion of the supreme court as well. all members have gina miller. they have. i wonder why. jeremy corbyn, i will stay neutral and the people distraught —— do —— decide on brexit. this is him laying out his plans on brexit in advance of the labour party conference. he has written that he wants to be a neutral referee if there were to be a second referendum this comes ahead of the labour party conference where it is expected that some members will try to force a conference voting at the party to take a clear remain stance if they were to be a another referendum. jeremy corbyn having watch how david cameron has put out in the news this week and a lot of the abuse front and does not

wa nt lot of the abuse front and does not want to take a stance on the referendum but he has also laid out what a question might be in a referendum and it seems to be that it would be essentially a very soft brexit with a customs union and a close legal market relationship that kind of bespoke labour deal. 0r close legal market relationship that kind of bespoke labour deal. or it remain. 0rthere is no kind of bespoke labour deal. or it remain. 0r there is no deal option there is no wto option, there is no theresa may option there is nothing else. so many wrecks of would not think rex is in the ballot. but jeremy corbyn is trying to claim this is the only sensible option. jeremy corbyn is trying to claim this is the only sensible optionm lena may have a leader of the 0pposition resists cost to pick sides. a very good question. it he does not literally send the guardian in his head like him with a rip in the lines of what he has said but i agree with their interpretation, it looks like that is a direction that he is setting in. remember that in fairness to jeremy he is setting in. remember that in fairness tojeremy corbyn, this is a difficult situation for the labour

party. lots of their members and campaigners want britton to stay in the eu but lots of their voters want britton to leave the eu and jeremy corbyn is still trying very hard to keep and balance those two things and not just keep and balance those two things and notjust come down on one side of the other and lose a lot of his support. you can understand why a leader of a political party would wa nt to leader of a political party would want to do that. but he is less generous balance and that in the labour party for the general public did not think a stance is problematic especially when you have takena problematic especially when you have ta ken a stance problematic especially when you have taken a stance by having zyprexa and i'io taken a stance by having zyprexa and no brexit as your only to ballot objects. and that is really interesting. if labour were to win this election whenever it comes we got on this route, a second referendum between soft brexit and no brexit would be a large assiduously of people saying i cannot, my option is not there, i wa nt cannot, my option is not there, i want different. this is not brexit all that would lead to its own issues but there are people in the labour party who think that no deal is hard and will be disastrous and

not be responsible to put that on a referendum. so this will not solve all the problems of the labour party and brexit. but this is the end point renewal of the import of a very long argument in the party that has been going on for months if not yea rs has been going on for months if not years now. let's return to the telegraph and i want to ask you, kate, about this because the us ambassador has come out to back borisjohnson. brexit ambassador has come out to back boris johnson. brexit such ambassador has come out to back borisjohnson. brexit such as why uk wa nts borisjohnson. brexit such as why uk wants out. this is of course following on from yesterday and the news c0 nfe re nce following on from yesterday and the news conference when borisjohnson pulled out of that news conference in luxembourg because it was being held where there were noisy anti—brexit protesters and it left him with an empty podium. are you surprised the us ambassador has come out into anything? no, he spoke at a private member club where he defended borisjohnson private member club where he

defended boris johnson called private member club where he defended borisjohnson called a political stunt and said he is on the side of the uk but the interpretation of that is he is on the side of this prime minister. he has broken the cardinal rule of not mentioning the second world war. he has used some pretty hefty language but i'm not surprised because this is the donald trump tape. he claims that he protected wrecks it would happen to him he claims he supported brexit but whether that is true is in the details but his ambassador is essentially reiterating this and donald trump i suspect having been a fan of board shots in the past and have a bit of anti—brexit would take this kind of radical lines also does the language we see from the president and what we see from his ambassador. let's squeeze a couple more and let's turn to the financial times and the back of any departure date thrown into doubt by looming general election. marconi is governor of the bank amendment and i think his term was do to end on the 3ist think his term was do to end on the 31st of january. that is right. if there is a general election in

0ctober, he could still go then it depends on what happens after that. elections are not normally the end of the story and everything is all sort of. we could be in a very messy position after that with a hung parliament or referendum or he knows and a notable weeks a few weeks later or any of those things can follow a general election so i think the idea is that having the uncertainty of changing one of the most senior public service jobs in the country at that same exact point will be a bad idea. i think there are also concerns that some of the senior candidates have got lined up hoping to replace marconi would not wa nt to hoping to replace marconi would not want to walk into the job and have that sort of —— mark carney, had that sort of —— mark carney, had that mess on their doorstep on day one and so that make sense for eve ryo ne one and so that make sense for everyone if he is prepared to stay ona everyone if he is prepared to stay on a bit longer to try and guide britton through the potential turbulence of that period. all i would say is the problem with that is it when it is a table it's going to and? you could extend for years

and years. we are all waiting for it to stop. let's turn on from politics and why not? back to the times new speed limits, drivers should keep below 120 beats per minute this is to do with the kind of music we're listening to we drive. apparently those who listen to softer and more classical music are changing lanes about 70 times in a mock trial in which there were testing drivers and their reaction to music with those listening to rock music and more intense music claim were driving faster and sometimes 5—10 mph faster over the speed limit and public health experts have now warned that it is dangerous to listen to such music while driving which begs the question is there anything these days that public health experts would say will not kill us? i suspect the answer is no. you are saying that a case of having rock music up loud but to do with the pete's. beats per minute, the faster the music the more you zoom around

from lane to lane and put your foot down on all the rest of it according to this study. i do wonder part of it is the people that like that music also might like driving a bit faster but wonder why no? and it was a similarso you faster but wonder why no? and it was a similar so you know if you crashed... it does not matter. you would be ok. that's it for the papers this hour. jack and kate will be back at 11:30pm for another look at the papers, and don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you seven days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers. and if you miss the programme any evening, you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you, jack and kate. goodbye. time for your latest live update from bbc weather. a bit of late

this is bbc news. the headlines: 11 supreme courtjudges this is bbc news. the headlines: 11 supreme court judges have this is bbc news. the headlines: 11 supreme courtjudges have begun hearing to appeals to determine whether or not the prime minister acted lawfully when he shut down parliament for five weeks. the court is not equipped to decide what is a legitimate political consideration and what is an illegitimate critical consideration. no prime minister has abused his powers in the manner in which we allege in at least the last 50 years. feelings were running high on both sides as some of those bringing the cases of the court face the crowds outside. at
