1.30pm and here's your latest sports news. we start with breaking news in the last hour, the football association is investigating allegations that a england players phil foden and mason greenwood broke quarantine rules, following saturday's win against iceland. they both made their senior international debuts in the 1—0 victory in reykjavic in the nations league at the weekend. the whole squad is supposed to be in a strict covid—secure bubble. both players are expected to be asked to leave the england camp. we are waiting for manager gareth southgate‘s news conference, we'll bring you what he says later this afternoon. staying with football and another england player, callum wilson, hasjoined newcastle from bournemouth on a four—year deal from bournemouth for about £20 million. wilson has played 4 tmes for england and scored 67 goals in 187 appearances for bournemouth. he becomes newcastle's third summer

signing since the collapse of the proposed takeover of the club injuly. manchester city's riyad mahrez and his teammate aymeric laporte have both tested positive for covid—19. city say neither player displayed symptoms of coronavirus. they won't train with their team mates and will self—isolate for ten days in line with uk government and premier league rules. both players should be available for city's first league game of the season against wolves on the 21st of september. next, to novak djokovic, who says he's extremely sorry for the stress he's caused a line judge after hitting her in the throat with a ball at the us open. the world number one, who was disqualified following the incident during his fourth round match against spain's pablo carreno busta, says it was unintended and wrong — and the whole situation has left him sad and empty. here's our tennis correspondent, russell fuller. clearly not intentional in that novak djokovic was not looking anywhere near the linejudge when he fired the ball away from his pocket, but the grand slam law book is very clear here. there have been precedents for this.
1:36 pm
tim henman was disqualified at wimbledon from a men's match all the way back in 1995 for accidentally hitting a ball girl in the area. david nalbandian in queen's club a few years ago also defaulted when he kicked the wooden support around the linejudge‘s chair. that splintered and cut thejudge‘s shin. the rules are that he intentionally hit able are that he intentionally hit a ball recklessly or dangerously or not with regard for the consequences. the referee had a long discussion with novak djokovic on the court felt he had no option but to disqualify him, and if he hadn't, there would have been more serious consequences for the sport because it would have looked as though the rich and influential could get away with something that perhaps lower ranked players could not. england batsmanjos buttler will miss theirfinal t20 international against australia tomorrow after leaving the bio—secu re bubble to be with his family.
1:37 pm
buttler made an unbeaten 77 to guide england to a series clinching win in southampton yesterday. he's been given permission by captain eoin morgan and coach chris silverwood to return home, having been away from his family for ten weeks. he'll return on thursday, before the first one—dayer at old trafford the next day. just one rugby league line to bring you. wigan warriors' match at catalan dragons on saturday is set to go ahead, despite one of wigan's players testing positive for coronavirus. that followed their defeat to hull kingston rovers last thursday. both teams will carry out further tests today. there are more of today's sport stories on the website, that's all for now. thank you. up to 300 people who attended a charity football match at a working men s club near sunderland are being asked to self—isolate after 28 people tested positive for covid. it was held at the burnside working mens club last sunday. public health officials said contact tracing is being carried out, but anyone who was at the match

1:39 pm
in close contact to someone who has tested positive. and health officials are telling people they still have to self—isolate, even if they have already had a test that has come back negative. that is because they say it can take up to 1a days before those symptoms actually show. they say this course of action is needed to reduce the spread of the virus. a migrant has been found in the roofbox of a car at the maidstone services on the m20. pictures show the man climbing out of the container in the car park. police were called after the driver heard a banging noise. the migrant was detained on suspicion of entering the uk illegally. the driver told the bbc that he had travelled on a eurotunnel service from calais. when they got there the security checked over the car. they had the dogs, they put the dog in the car. they had the radar thing and everything, and they said, "you are ok to go.

the death of nathanieljulius in a suburb south ofjohannesburg has shocked south africa. the teenager was shot by police officers on the 26th of august. but police brutality is not a new problem in south africa, where more than one person dies every day because of the actions of the police. our southern africa reporter, pumza fihlani, has been following the story. anger spills onto the streets of eldorado park. one of their own has been killed, a teenager who had down syndrome, who had gone to buy biscuits when he was shot. we want justice. if we don't get justice, we will burn the police station down! this is where nathanieljulius was shot, just a few metres from his home. his death is the latest in a series of high—profile cases that have shocked south africans since the coronavirus lockdown. the cops went in looking for another suspect, and when they
1:41 pm
came out, that's when they found nathaniel sitting by the truck. theyjust called him over, and as he walked over, the guyjust shot him. and when they shot him, he fell under the truck. life won't be the same without him. you know, for someone that couldn't speak, that can walk into a room and just change the atmosphere of that room, his warmth, he can walk into any house and they won't chase him out. they will let him sit and eat. he was a house child wherever he went. three police officers have been arrested, and two of them have been charged with premeditated murder. if found guilty, they stand to spend life in prison. not only are they accused of murdering him, but also a cover—up. it is claimed the office was tampered with it is claimed the officers tampered with evidence and the crime scene. it's still early days in this court case and could take years for a ruling to come in, but those investigating the police say they are determined to see
1:42 pm
that justice is served. the outcry over nathanial‘s death the outcry over nathaniel‘s death has highlighted a deeply fractured relationship between law enforcement officers and the people. it should stop in south africa. this is just totally unacceptable. we can't continue to have police officers who are behaving like this, killing people randomly, and we have just not going to accept that we have police officers who are trigger—happy, so we need to deal with them. so we are busy making examples with those officers as such. i believe now is the time for us to stand together as a community and just rally behind the family and stand with them, and show that this is now the time to commit and make change. nathaniel‘s family, especially his mother, are clinging to the hope that his death will not be in vain.

bbc news, johannesburg. the first formal talks between afghan officials and the taliban are expected to begin in qatar this week. the two sides were meant to begin negotiations back in march, but continuing violence and the wrangling over a prisoner exchange plan have led to repeated delays. the talks follow the signing of an agreement between the taliban and the united states earlier this year, and will aim to put an end to the nearly two—decade long war, which has cost thousands of lives. secunder kermani reports now on some of the challenges ahead. two bitter enemies who fought for the past two decades reached a historic agreement in february. but on the ground in afghanistan, fighting has continued. the agreement between the united states and the taliban wasn't a peace deal, just a step towards one. it set out a provisional timetable for the withdrawal of foreign forces and was meant to kick—start separate talks between the militants and afghan officials.
1:44 pm
after months of wrangling over a prisoner exchange plan, those negotiations look set to finally begin. the two sides will be discussing a ceasefire and trying to reach a political reconciliation. this is a campaign suggesting red lines which shouldn't be sacrificed in the process. afghans are tired of conflict, but also worry any settlement could mean the rolling back of fragile progress on issues translation: the taliban have to accept the reality of today's afghanistan. if they don't accept it, i don't think these peace talks will have a real result and instead, the situation could become even worse. our rights were taken away by the taliban during their five years in power.
1:45 pm
we weren't treated as human beings. before the taliban, we had a good life and we fought for our rights. people should remember that history. the taliban ruled over most of afghanistan from the mid—1990s, until they were overthrown by a us—led invasion in 2001. they governed using a brutal interpretation of sharia law. the group insists it's changed but it's not clear how much. i met one of their chief negotiators last year and tried to pin him down on exactly what form the future government they want to see. would it be an islamic emirate, as they previously established? will you accept democracy? that is... i cannot say no because there are many types of government which was tested in afghanistan. the views are different, so some people, they want emirates system. some people, they want presidential form of government, some people,
1:46 pm
they want parliamentary system. but what will be everybody majority, will be according to them. and how do you find out? how do you find out what the majority want? that will be discussed, that will be discussed. a lot is going on, so with the government, the form of government, comes discussion, so we will see how many people are supporting this. the talks could last many months but president trump has made clear he wants us troops back home as soon as possible. that leaves some worried it's the taliban with the upper hand. secunder kermani, bbc news. the headlines on bbc news: a 27—year—old man is arrested on suspicion of murder in birmingham over a series of stabbings at four different locations that left seven people injured and one dead. police in suffolk have arrested a teenage boy after a 15 year old pupil was shot on his way to school in suffolk this morning. downing street insists it is committed to implementing
1:47 pm
the withdrawal agreement — and denies that its new brexit legislation would tear up what was agreed last year. commuter train services return to near normal timetables today, but the governments call to get people back to the workplace is not being heard everywhere. let's hear from the owners of two small businesses in manchester city centre. of two small businesses my name is bob hoque. this is the bowlers sandwich bar. it's one of the oldest independent sandwich bars in manchester. i'm seb heeley and we're, in three little words, the home of manchester gin. we took over about 23 years ago and, as you could see, there's absolutely nothing — nobody‘s here, you know?
1:48 pm
seeing who comes out the other end is, to be honest, anyone's guess. today, it's about 1:15. so right about now, it is 3:30 on a friday. i would have at least 20 customers in here and as you can see, there is only one customer. we'd already see people coming in, we'd already see — i've not seen anyone in a suit for four months, five months. it's so bizarre because usually now, we'd start filling up. by 5:30, 6:00, we'd be full. the business has gone, literally. we're doing about 30% of our normal taking and i don't know how long we can sustain it for, you know? if they do not want workers back into the offices untiljanuary — and we're hearing a lot of offices aren't planning, you'll find you'll come back and you'll go "oh, my favourite coffee shop's not open". it's because no—one's been there for nine months and no—one can survive without any
1:49 pm
revenue for nine months. city centre is like a ghost town, absolutely ghost town. i am two quarters rent behind. the landlord wants their full rent and that's it then. and i'm really, really — we are struggling. traditionally, you know, a good bar and restaurant cane make a good bar and restaurant can make 30% of its revenue during november, december. if you think all of the offices that have after—work drinks, christmas parties, i mean, they are going to be nonexistent this year. yeah, it is very impossible, yeah. i have never, everfelt like this in the business. as soon as the grant money finishes, we will probably have to close the doors. and that's about it. in the us, the coronavirus pandemic has seen millions lose theirjobs and reliance on food banks rocket. among those who've stepped in to help is rock and roll legend jon bon jovi. samira hussain reports. it is distribution day
1:50 pm
at this food bank. i am good, man, how are you? good. there are no volunteers here. just a handful of workers and staff, including jon bon jovi. straight on! straight on, jack, you got it, bud! the global pandemic means his other job as international rock star is somewhat on hold, so he can devote time and sweat to this project. whoa, jack! ok, got it. yeah, i got it. if you come here, i will show you the idea. so we will roll a pallet around, usually by weight those are around a0 pounds a case and we usually go by the heaviest things on the bottoms. in less than an hour and a half, several hundred kilos of food are loaded onto trucks and taken to seven different food pantries across eastern long island, a process that has happened every week since march. we would be remiss if we just wrote a cheque. we feel that being hands—on makes us feel good while we are doing good.
1:51 pm
and i am a control freak. laughing that's it! this kind of work is not new forjon and his wife, dorothea. together, they run thejbj soul foundation, doing philanthropic work like building homes and running community kitchens. thank you so very, very much! and it is notjust the people running the food bank that is surprising, it is the location as well. this area is known as a playground for the affluent, one of the wealthiest zip codes in america. the hamptons tell the story of two very different americas. one in which the wealthy can enjoy second homes while taking in beautiful beaches in the summertime. but the other is made up of restaurant workers and day labourers, who earn a living by serving the rich. usually, summer is when the hamptons' the arrival of the rich, seasonal residents means lots of work, but not this year. local poverty has risen sharply and demand
1:52 pm
at the springs food pantry is up 300%. holly wasn't sure how she was going to feed her community. that is, until she got help from a rock star. i couldn't get food from the grocery stores because the shelves were empty. i couldn't get them from the food banks, so whenjon bonjovi stepped in with his food bank it was a godsend. there are more people that live here year—round that are at or below the poverty line than there are the guys that own the big estate. the coronavirus pandemic has ripped open the deep economic divides in america for all to see. yeah, we did good. we did good. even right here in the hamptons. samira hassein, bbc news, east hampton, new york. it's been almost three months since we last saw eastenders on our screens, but tonight it's back. we're going to talk to actor
1:53 pm
louisa lytton who plays ruby allen — here she is in the new series in this exclusive clip: ! you will put the punters of their pennies. layla it has been a couple of months. in an rebound, more like. what? if stacey was here, she wouldn't get a look in. some of that money pays your wages. ruby, she is just winding you up. what was that about? ever wondered what attracted you to miss mintage. earlier this morning on bbc news, louisa told victoria derbyshire what it was like going back on set after so many months. ican i can only speak for myself, but i was only there are nervous going back. obviously you haven't been at work for quite a few month and we we re work for quite a few month and we were sure how it was going to work,
1:54 pm
but we had a day when we were all shown around the set and it was also different, and shown the new tricks we we re different, and shown the new tricks we were going to use, so for example in that scene there there is a screen between me and james who plays martin, for our case, so i guess i am excited to be back. we have got a clip of view, let's have a look at how it has been working on set with a look at how it has been working on set was social distancing. here is one of our secrets. i don't know if we will be able to show this. this is obviously able to show this. this is obviously a moving screen, so able to show this. this is obviously a moving screen, so if we are filming... together, it looks like we can be as close as we need to be because of the screen. or we could walk together with the screen, so we can doa walk together with the screen, so we can do a walking, talking shop with the screen! so another thing that we have had to put into place as a one—way system. so our building has really narrow corridors, so obviously in orderfor us really narrow corridors, so obviously in order for us to not be passing each other we have had to now have a new one—way system, so this is the way to my dressing room. i have to sanitise on the way in. we
1:55 pm
now have to do our own hair, make—up and costume, so i am just going to show the new layout, how we do our own hairand make—up show the new layout, how we do our own hair and make—up and costume. show the new layout, how we do our own hair and make—up and costumem some of the tricks of the trade there, but that screen thing is brilliant, isn't it? and also i understand that sometimes when there isa understand that sometimes when there is a kissing scene you had actually bought the real—life partners of the actors on set to be standards, to be public body doubles. is that right? yeah, it hasn't really worked for me because my partner looks very different to martyred, but yeah, some people have brought their partners in and they have one weeks because i get when you have got such an intimate scene like that it is really ha rd to an intimate scene like that it is really hard to play that out at two metres or with a screen in front of you, so it was the only option, i guess, but yes, they have found amazing ways make this work and hopefully when you watch the episode you won't really tell, it willjust looking like a normal episode of eastenders. that is interesting, so in terms of the script, is
1:56 pm
coronavirus referred to? is it mentioned? if we can't see that you're actually socially distancing because of things like the screens do need to mention it? it is mentioned. i think that the writers and the team decided that people had gone through a horrific time and actually we don't really want to keep dwelling on it, so you know, we are hoping that east end a bit like are hoping that east end a bit like a really full people, so it is mentioned and there are some characters i think in the background who wear masks, but they didn't want to be the focus of the show. they wa nted to be the focus of the show. they wanted the focus of the show to be back to one drama. luisa, the actress, talking to victoria derbyshire a little earlier. now it's time for a look at the weather with nick hello. mostly cloudy skies for the next few days. on the warm side, though, especially if you do get to see the sunshine. quite humid as well. cloud cover, though, all the way across north—west wales today, a bit more rain on the way here and for north—east scotland
1:57 pm
a bit of texture in the cloud of this weather watcher picture here and we may well get to see here a few sunny spells as the day goes on. this is the satellite picture from earlier, some hazy brightness toward southern england, but increasing cloud here as well. on the big picture, the reason we have a lot of cloud out there is a couple of weather fronts moving south across the uk, connected to this area of low pressure in iceland. the isobars are closer together across the northern half of the uk, so quite breezy out here and from the weather fronts a bit of rain, most likely through western scotland, wales, western parts of england and pushing on towards the midlands later, a bit of patchy rain possible in northern ireland, while across the eastern side of the uk in the afternoon it will be mainly dry, a few bits of hazy brightness, and just in to the low 20s across the warmer parts of northern and eastern scotland, given any sunshine. tonight, a lot of cloud across england and wales, still damp and drizzly down towards wales and western misty and murky into the hills here. some clear spells in scotland, but you will notice these temperatures holding up overnight, into the low or mid—teens, quite a mild and humid night to come.
1:58 pm
early tomorrow, sunny spells in scotland, a good deal of cloud elsewhere still some light rain and drizzle across parts of wales especially, coming into northern ireland and some mist and fog across the hills, particularly to the east of the uk. breezes coming into the... in eastern england, the warm spots could hear could be approaching the mid 20s, but that changes into wednesday, as this weather front move south across the uk. it is a cold front, the leading edge of cool air, some cloud with it and not very much rain though. rain across some parts of england and wales, and behind that it will brighten up, it will feel fresher and still breezy out there, temperature is coming down a few true degrees, a few showers coming into scotland as well. friday another weather front, more rain coming into scotland and in the
