good evening.... we start with the women's champions league where it was a disappointing opening league for arsenal in spain. barcelona was for— one winners and watching was craig templeton. barcelona had the whole of europe beating to the sound of their own from last season. arsenals first challenge was one of their toughest. try and beat the champions. but it didn't take long for the catalans to find their rhythm. cal dente so close to giving them the lead. that lead would come soon enough to again, cal dente it wouldn't be denied a second time. and barcelona wouldn't be denied a second goal when you wake up layer of that year puts this much space put up is only going to be one result. if the result wasn't any question the

second half was only seconds old. when it was answered 3— l. arsenal did pull goal back but barcelona had the final say martens given the freedom of the stadium. 4— one. barcelona too hot to handle, arsenal given a real lesson. amid concerns over the rate of vaccinations over footballers rushed our says the rate is over 50% of players double job. our says the rate is over 50% of players doublejob. it our says the rate is over 50% of players double job. it follows news that premier leagues were considering rewarding clubs as vaccination rates while only seven top—flight teams have rates of 50% vaccinated. the doctor says there are many reason for the low rates. i've spoken to some of the senior players just to get their point of use to why they think the uptick is low. some of the responses are they don't want to

feel unwell if they get the jab which may affect their performance. also on the other hand if they're able to get covid which quite a lot of players have had over the last year they'd been out for ten days and they felt really unwell. i don't really think that argument stacks out. india will not be sending their hockey teams to the commonwealth games in birmingham next year, because of concerns over what they call "biased" covid restrictions. the uk government recently clarified that the indian made version of the astrazeneca vaccine is now an approved jab, but it's unclear whether people can travel from india without having to self isolate. president of hockey india said the uk's quarantine rules are "biased against india" and added that "such discriminatory restrictions were not imposed on indian athletes during the tokyo olympics". the men's team are currently ranked third in the world, while the women were beaten by great britain in the third place play off at the olympics. the british 5,000 metre record holder elish mccolgan has told the bbc how she feels wary about training and running outside after dark.

speaking after the abduction and murder of sarah everard, fellow distance athlete charlotte purdue said she'd changed her training routines to avoid being on the streets at night. mccolgan said it would apply for women all over the world. definitely for my own personal experience i would be very hesitant to run late at night or in the dark. a very fortunate, a fortunate position that i'm an athlete, i'm a professional athlete that can train 24 professional athlete that can train 2a hours of the day so i can choose want to go and train. other women aren't fortunate in that position. i can imagine how difficult it is to head out in the dark and feel safe. certainly for me i would be training during the day is much as i can. and very fortunate that my partner actually cycles along with me most days so i never really feel unsafe. but we travel all of the world so you're always going to be put in places that you've never been before, you're a little unsure of. but running after dark would

certainly not be something that i would feel comfortable doing. i imagine there's women all across the world in a similar opinion to that. england all rounder sam curran has been ruled out of the t20 world cup with a lower back injury and has been replaced by his brother tom. curran was in pain after his chennai super kings ipl game on saturday. he will fly back to the uk for further scans and be assesed by the ecb�*s medical team. along with the addition of his brother tom, reece topley has also been added as a travelling reserve. england's campaign gets underway against west indies on october 23rd. some rugby league news now and with the super league grand final set to take place on saturday between catalans dragons and st helens, wigan have started focusing on next season. england coach shaun wane has returned to the club in a "leadership" role while matty peet will be their new head coach. peet replaces australian adrian lam who left after 2 seasons in charge, and wane will now combine this role with the england job, where he's had just one game

in charge because of covid, a postponed world cup and a cancelled australia test series. previously with wigan he led them to three super league titles, a challenge cup and world club challenge triumph before his 2018 exit. prize money for the first women's golf major will increase by 60% next year after a new sponsor was announced. the tournament formerly known as the ana inspiration will now offer a $5 million prize fund and will now be rebranded as the chevron championship. it will also be played for the final time at its historic venue in the california desert, before moving to houston. since its inception in 1972, the event has been played at the mission hills country club with poppies pond providing one of its iconic moments every year, with the winnerjumping in. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those

hello there. it's been a windy day today, but it's the rain that's been causing most of the disruption. we started with an inch of rain falling in an hour in the early hours of this morning in london, hence the scenes of flooding here. it's been raining pretty much all day across much of northern england. we've had some flooding, for example, here in the northeast of england. it's been very wet in eastern scotland too. further west, the showers that we have seen here will be fading away overnight, skies will clear. elsewhere, the rain slowly eases away for much of scotland, continue to see some rain for eastern england. it's going to be very windy around those north sea coasts as well. lighter winds further west, and it will be quite chilly by the end of the night across parts of northern ireland and also scotland. let's set the scene on tomorrow's weather, and the wet and windy weather courtesy of that low—pressure is moving away. the next weather system coming in from the atlantic in between a slice of dry weather and some sunshine. it's going to be a windy start, though, for eastern parts of england tomorrow. the rain tends to move away. the cloud a little more reluctant to break up.

but many places will see some sunshine for a while. western areas, though, clouding over more and more. some rain coming in, especially across northern ireland in the afternoon. but ahead of that, something a little bit warmer than today across parts of england and wales. things, however, will get warmer as still as we head further into the week — unusually warm, really, for this time of the year. and that is because if we trace our winds all the way back down towards the south to the tropics, this is where our air is coming from. that's bringing the warmth through thursday and friday, bringing in a lot of cloud perhaps, and we still have some weather fronts on the scene across the northwest of the uk threatening some thicker cloud and some outbreaks of rain. and that's mainly going to be affecting scotland, the west of scotland, perhaps some northern and western parts of northern ireland. even for england and wales, though, it still looks quite cloudy, a bit of dampness and drizzle around some western coasts and hills, brighter towards the east. but even with that cloud, because the air has come from a long way south, its warm, temperatures could make 19—20 celsius in belfast and newcastle.

moving into friday, the winds are lighter for england and wales. that could lead to some fog in the morning across the midlands towards the southeast lifting and some sunshine coming through. the main rain band shuffles up towards the far northwest, so some sunshine across parts of scotland and northern ireland. temperatures widely18—21 celsius before it cools down from the north through the weekend.
