this is bbc news. the headlines... the pakistani government says recent floods have left a third of the country under water. more than 33 million people have been affected by the heaviest monsoon floods in a decade. ukraine says it has launched a counter—offensive to re—capture kherson. the city, which is around a hundred kilometres north of the crimean peninsula, was over—run by russian forces shortly after the invasion began. at least 15 people are reported to have been killed in clashes in the centre of baghdad. unrest broke out in the iraqi capital, after an influential cleric, moqtada al sadr, said he was leaving politics following months of deadlock. nasa has been forced to postpone the launch

of its test flight to the moon. officials say a problem with the engine meant they had to scrub the un—manned mission, just minutes before it could have blasted off. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are are sam lister, the political editor at the daily express, and the author and journalist, yasmin alibhai—brown. thank you both for being with us tonight. the yorkshire post carries a warning from brewery bosses, who say thousands of pubs could shut down forever unless the government steps in to help — as energy prices continue to rise. the metro issues the same warning — last orders for pubs, is its headline. the guardian holds a message from senior conservatives, who say schools face closure chaos,

with headteachers struggling to pay soaring energy bills. the front page also pictures the devastating floods in pakistan. as the country awaits the winner of the tory leadership contest, the i says the front—runner liz truss won't reveal her cost of living plan until she becomes prime minister. an economist who backs truss�* tax cut plan tells the express her plan is �*the only way to rescue the uk economy'. the times reports liz truss is poised to expand drilling of oil and gas in the north sea to help with the energy crisis, according to her campaign team. the telegraph reports on new research which claims that statins don't cause aches and pains for patients — it's because they're getting older. and the ft pictures disappointed spectators, as nasa calls off the launch of its new moon rocket following engine problems. let's begin with the letter i.

why do you think truss is not bringing forward details to help people understand what's likely to come down the track if she is the prime minister was although it's more of the story about what's not happening, and more of the story about what's not haueninu, . ., �*, more of the story about what's not happening.— happening, and that's the unusual osition. i happening, and that's the unusual position. i think— happening, and that's the unusual position. i think it _ happening, and that's the unusual position. i think it is _ happening, and that's the unusual position. i think it is a _ happening, and that's the unusual position. i think it is a case - happening, and that's the unusual position. i think it is a case that i position. i think it is a case that liz truss wants to see what the experts in the treasury have to say, what the civil servants have to say. and look at the detail before she makes that detail plan. she has promised to help some sort of physical event, very quickly to announce the plans for cost of living crisis. she also doesn't want to get too boxed in by announcing too many details at this stage until she got through the door white what would you like to hear from her.

even further. he said that is a way to kick—start the economy, to increase growth in the treasury has been too focused on reducing debt. well of course... yasmin, tax costs are something that a lot of conservative government aspired to bring in, and we've seen a lot of increases render rishi sunak. there are a lot of economists who do not agree with what liz truss is proposing. they think it would just push inflation higher. yes. proposing. they think it would 'ust push inflation higher.i push inflation higher. yes, and there are _ push inflation higher. yes, and there are other— push inflation higher. yes, and there are other problems - push inflation higher. yes, and i there are other problems because when _ there are other problems because when you — there are other problems because when you reduce this level of tax income. — when you reduce this level of tax income, that is going to rebound on our public— income, that is going to rebound on our public services. if we haven't -ot our public services. if we haven't got the _ our public services. if we haven't got the tax — our public services. if we haven't got the tax revenue, we cannot

think it's him as much as her putting his relationship with the royal family at risk here. i think it's very difficult to see a way back for him because he also made comments in this article. the but it's always _ comments in this article. the but it's always meghan who makes the front pages. but we don't have to read it if we don't want to! we don't have to! we can choose a different newspaper if we want. sam and yasmin, always lovely to have you both with us. that's it for the papers this hour. the papers will be back again tomorrow evening with the broadcaster john stapleton, and the assistant comment editor at the daily telegraph, olivia utley. coming up next, it's sportsday. night night. hello, i'm marc edwards with all your sports news.

the us open is under way with plenty of british interest in both the men's and women's draws, including three—time grand slam winner andy murray, who's through to the second round with a victory over the 24th seed francisco cerundolo. adam cottier was watching for us. andy murray! a decade on from winning his first grand slam title here in new york, andy murray's on a mission to prove he can still mix it with the very best in men's tennis. recent matches have seen him struggle with cramp, but here, he appeared to put any concerns aside. after recovering from losing his serve in the very first game, he took command of the first set, winning four games in a row. murray's opponent, the 24th seed francisco cerundolo, did show some resilience, even sportingly conceding a point to murray, when a double bounce went unnoticed. but murray showed little mercy, winning the first set 7—5 as cerundolo double—faulted. from there, the 35—year—old took complete control with his fluid intake amongst other things being monitored to help try and limit the cramping. after winning the second set 6—3, murray was unrelenting in the third as well,

with even lendl keeping a close eye on his form. lendl is back coaching with marie for a third time. he was his coach back in 2012 when murray won this tournament. 2022 glory might seem a long shot for the scot but his straight sets win on day one was certainly impressive. adam cottier, bbc news. not such good news for britain's kyle edmund, who's been knocked out. he lost to the fifth seed casper ruud of norway in straight sets. and this evening could be the end of an era with serena williams the 23—time grand slam champion faces danka kovinic of montenegro in what's expected to be her last tournament before transitioning away from tennis. her legacy will live on long after she's hung up her racquet. i honestly think that she's, like, the biggest force in the sport. and that's not, like, intentionally trying to, like,

make federer and nadal smaller — ijust think, like, she is the biggest thing that will ever be in the sport. and...it'sjust really an honour just to watch her play. rugby league now, st helens have finished top of the super league, despite losing at home to wakefield. an inexperienced team were beaten 34—18, but they still picked up the league leaders' shield. second—placed wigan were also resting players in defeat to hull kr, while huddersfield crept past warrington. and salford secured a play—off spot with a crushing 50—10 victory at castleford. reginaldo rosario has more. with castleford tigers and salford red devils separated byjust points differential on this bank holiday monday, a win for either would be a big step towards a playoff spot. and it was the away side that came racing out of the blocks. two tries in two minutes. the second giving salford of 14—0

lead. there was more delight to come for the away fans. jack orman bulldozing his way over the line. 20 without reply. the tigers shell—shocked, but they managed to half the deficit before the break. darrell with the second of castleford's tries. with temperatures rising, it was salford that kept their cool in the second half. scott wright put the finishing stuff is on a battling move. and it was one—way traffic for the red devils. —— a dazzling move. four more tries to put the icing on the cake — the half—century reginaldo rosario, bbc news. catalans dragons secured a top four finish in with a 32—18 win over leeds rhinos. meaning that leeds and castleford will battle it out for the final play—off position on saturday. west ham have confirmed the club record signing of brazilian international lucas paqueta from lyon. the 25—year—old joins for a fee that

in only one month and a half. we've started to work with them it was the reason. we've started to work with them and i think at the end, my choice was good because we got four good results in the first four games. the trent rockets are through to the knockout stages of the men's hundred after a 29—run win over the welsh fire. dawid malan's 58 propelled the rockets to 172—4 off their 100 balls at trent bridge. and they never looked like losing, the fire only managing 143—6, finishing their season with eight defeats from eight. and trent rockets kept their women's hundred play—off hopes alive with an emphatic eight—wicket victory over welsh fire. rockets are up to third, but have a nervous wait to see if they make the knockout stages.

bit of a nervous moment for them. and that's all your sport for now. from me, marc edwards, and the rest of the team, bye—bye. hello there. well, it was a fine bank holiday monday in wales. we had plenty of sunshine and, in porthmadog in the northwest, we had temperatures up to 25 degrees. looking at the weather picture for the rest of the uk this week, there will be a lot of drier weather. it is quite breezy, though, at times in the south, perhaps a bit warmer over the next couple of days, but there's a big change in our weather patterns on the way as we head into the next weekend. high pressure stays to the north of the uk at the moment, and it's that that's driving in these north—to—northeasterly winds, bringing in quite a bit of cloud across scotland and down these eastern coastal areas of england. the cloud thick enough for an occasional light shower, a few mist patches as well over the next two hours, and temperatures similar to what they've been over recent nights. so, this is how we start off tuesday morning.

a bright start across much of england, wales, northern ireland with some sunshine. as we go through the morning, cloud will bubble up and develop and spread across the skies, so certainly towards the early part of the afternoon for quite a few of you, it will turn rather cloudy. and that cloud thick enough to squeeze out an odd light shower — east anglia, south—east england, maybe one or two across wales and northern ireland as well — but the emphasis is on a lot of dry weather. quite breezy around our coasts, and it's those onshore winds that will keep the temperatures a little bit fresher and lower across eastern scotland, eastern areas of england. again, the warmest spots are likely to be across wales and southwest england, where we'll see temperatures, again, pushing on towards the mid—20s. now, for wednesday, again, there could be an odd isolated shower around. for the bulk of you, though, it's another dry day with some sunshine and temperatures just starting to lift up a little bit across parts of the south. 2a, maybe 25, but still into the high teens across scotland and the far northeast of england. the weather stays quite quiet, really, through thursday and friday. no great changes in the weather forecast. temperatures in the warmest spots

climbing into the mid—20s. however, it's as we head into the weekend that we see a big change in our weather as this area of low pressure moves in. now, it is forecast to become quite slow—moving, and so will probably be around about to the west or southwest of the uk for the first week of september or so, throwing up bands of rain. the heaviest rain is likely to be across probably southern and western areas, but they are some of the places that we've got those water and hosepipe restrictions and problems at the moment. restrictions and problems so, of course, we do need this rain to fall, and it's on the way for the weekend.
