that's it for the papers. lord digbyjones and henry bonsu will be back in just over half an hour to look at more of the stories being covered goodbye for now. good evening. what an upset to kick things off in the champions league group stages. manchester united were beaten 2—1 by the swiss champions young boys, making their first appearance in the competition. and chelsea got their defence of their european title under way, with a win over zenit st petersburg. joe wilson reports. you could call him the old boy of manchester united, if you dared. in switzerland, these are definitely the young boys of bern, national champions. it would take time for cristiano ronaldo to adapt to playing for united again in the champions league. yes, 12 minutes... commentator: he scores!

well, of course he did. if only the game had ended then. before half—time, united were down to ten men. aaron wan—bissaka shown a red card for this defining moment. because the home team played with increasing belief. a cross, a touch, and the boys were back. a famous equalising goal, the ball even obliged for selfies. there was more... with seconds left in injury time, jesse lingard played a perfect pass... ..forjordan siebatcheu. 2-1. a fine reminder, it's not how you start, it's how you finish. and so to the reigning champions. chelsea at home to zenit st petersburg. defender antonio rudiger decided to lead by example at the start of the second half, all the way, almost. the manager needed a goal—scorer. 20 minutes to play, it's exactly what romelu lukaku is for.

there. they won the champions league without him last season. they are stronger, surely, with him. joe wilson, bbc news. the big game of the evening was at the nou camp, where bayern munich beat barcelona 3—0 in a dominant performance. robert lewandowski was the main man for them — he scored twice in the second half, after thomas muller had given them the lead. it was the 18th game in a row that lewandowski has scored for bayern. barca, playing theirfirst champions league since the departure of lionel messi, failed to even get a shot on target. and there were six games in the championship tonight — and there was late late drama at bramhall lane, and plenty of and there was late, late drama at bramhall lane, and plenty of games in the championship tonight. emil riis jakobsen scored a 95th—minute equaliser for preston north end, who denied sheffield united a second consecutive championship victory. 2—2 it finished there. elsewhere, there were wins or blackburn, huddersfield, reading and bournemouth, who moved level on points with top of the table west brom. the baggies drew 0—0 with derby.

let's switch to the women's game now, and england manager sarina wiegman will lead the team for the first time since her appointment in their first world cup qualifying match. they play north macedonia at southampton's st mary's stadium on friday. captain steph houghton has been speaking to the bbc, and was asked if she would be keeping the captain's armband under the new manager. we've had a conversation, we had a really good conversation last night. fortunately, i am the captain for the next couple games, which is amazing because it's an absolute honour to be england captain. but we are realistic and the fact that she's getting to know the group, she's getting to know the group, she's getting to know the group, she's getting to know how we work as a team and just getting to know everybody. so, ithink, a team and just getting to know everybody. so, i think, for me personally, it's an unbelievable honour to do that over the next couple of games and lead the team's over the last few seasons and years. regardless of whether i am, i'll still be the same leader i've always

been for the girls. really looking forward to looking underneath heard and hopefully learning a lot more about my game. also on friday, northern ireland women play luxembourg. and wales are in action for the first time under new head coach gemma grainger against kazakhstan women. british sprinter cj ujah's b sample from the tokyo 0lympics has tested positive, confirming the original result. he was part of the men's 4x100 metre relay team, which won silver at the olympics, but returned a positive sample for a banned substance on the day of the race. the case has been referred to the court of arbitration for sport and, if proven, the british quartet will all lose their medals. the former yorkshire cricketer azeem rafiq has taken to social media after an independent review upheld seven of his 43 allegations of racism and bullying while he played at the club. the review found though there was insufficient evidence to deem the club "institutionally racist." rafiq tweeted that he's "looking for the right platform" to name "names, dates and every inch of detail" of his racism and bullying allegations. he went on to say that he "needs

and deserves closure," and it's clear that won't come because the game wants to stay as it is, and not welcome people from all walks of life. and sri lanka seamer lasith malinga, the most successful bowler andy murray, who won the us open, said it is important to build on achievement. taste said it is important to build on achievement.— said it is important to build on achievement. we knew she was extremely _ achievement. we knew she was extremely good. _ achievement. we knew she was extremely good. she _ achievement. we knew she was extremely good. she hadn't - achievement. we knew she was - extremely good. she hadn't competed much for— extremely good. she hadn't competed much for the last 18 months or so with school— much for the last 18 months or so with school and coronavirus. but i think— with school and coronavirus. but i think at— with school and coronavirus. but i think at wimbledon, everyone got a bit of— think at wimbledon, everyone got a bit of a _ think at wimbledon, everyone got a bit of a glimpse as to how good she could _ bit of a glimpse as to how good she could be _ bit of a glimpse as to how good she could be. yeah, it is great what she did, and _ could be. yeah, it is great what she did, and a _ could be. yeah, it is great what she did, and a huge opportunity for british— did, and a huge opportunity for british tennis.— did, and a huge opportunity for british tennis. and that's all the sport for now. hello there.

it's been a very wet day across parts of england, particularly central, southern and eastern areas, over a months worth of rain falling across parts of east anglia over a month's worth of rain falling across parts of east anglia in the last 12 hours. that has slowly cleared off into the north sea. could leave a legacy of cloud, maybe just 1—2 showers draped across the eastern coastal parts of england. there may be the odd shower as well for northern and western scotland, perhaps into northern ireland, but most places will be dry. a few clear spells where it will turn quite fresh, otherwise rather cloudy, misty, murky and again quite so we've got a couple of weather fronts on wednesday across northern and western areas bringing a few showers around, but generally wednesday and thursday, this ridge of high pressure is going to build in. it's going to settle things down, so we are looking at a lot of dry weather around from the middle part of the week with some good sunny spells around, especially thursday. i think thursday looks like being the sunniest and driest day across the uk of the week. could see just 1—2 showers across northwestern areas on wednesday, but the temperatures will respond to more sunshine on thursday.

welcome to newsday. reporting live from singapore, i'm karishma vaswani. the headlines... scared and in hiding — we talk to some of the afghan women who still don't know whether they'll be able to return to work under the taliban. who helped until now? we are in here, under danger. the uk is to offer covid booster jabs to the over—sos, as it prepares for another coronavirus winter. californians are deciding whether to keep this man, gavin newsom, as their governor. the results of the recall vote could have repercussions far beyond the golden state.

and, all thatjazz, indeed!
