he had to take a medical timeout before battling back to beat fabio fognini. it was a little painful, he later said, but at least it was worth it. andy swiss, bbc news. time for a look at the weather. here's ben rich. 26 celsius with sunshine for the tennis in new york. here at home, the weather is changing. in many parts of the uk, things have started to turn more cloudy, with outbreaks of rain developing. one area of cloud pushing up from the south, some shower clouds there. this stripe of cloud moving on from the west, something of a pincer movement, but at the weekend, we will have this big blow that will churn around to the west of us, throwing frontal systems in our direction. with it centred to the west, it will be western parts of the uk that see the lion's share of the uk that see the lion's share of the wet weather. this is the rain we
1:31 pm
expect to accumulate through the weekend. the dark blue and green colours for parts of northern ireland and south—west scotland indicate 50—100 millimetres of rain indicate 50—100 millimetres of rain in places, so that could cause some issues. certainly some heavy, thundery rain at times this weekend, always wettest in the west, often quite windy. dare i say, it will feel a little autumnal. for many today brings some sunshine, scattered showers across england and wales, north—east scotland mainly dry but increasingly windy, with rain setting in across northern ireland and south—west scotland, highs of 18—25 c. through this evening and tonight, northern ireland and south—west scotland, the rain really sets in, some really heavy bursts through the night, some getting into parts of wales, the far south—west of england. it stays windy to the far north—east, and partly because of the strength of wind and where it is coming from, a mild direction, a mild night, 13-16 c. mild direction, a mild night, 13—16 c. tomorrow, parts of northern
1:32 pm
ireland in south—west scotland see the heavy rain, which could cause localised flooding and travel disruption. some rain infringing into wales and the south—west of england. we could see shop showers across the north of england, possibly midlands and into east anglia. the further east you are, more dry. 2a celsius for norwich, just 16 for belfast. on saturday night, to the south—west, this squeeze in the isobars, there will be a swathe of strong winds through sunday morning across the south of england and into wales, more rain here. more rain from northern ireland and south—west scotland. it keeps coming. the further north and east you are, more dry weather. top temperatures on sunday between 19 and 25 celsius. quite a lot on the weekend ahead, some brisk winds and some heavy rain, particularly in the west. that's all from the bbc news at one, so it's goodbye from me.
1:33 pm
and on bbc one, we nowjoin the bbc�*s news teams where you are. good the bbc�*s news teams where you are. afternoon. t danger good afternoon. there is quite a big danger taking place in our weather right now, a change to something that might feel more autumnal. good afternoon. it's 1.30pm and here's your latest sports news. i'm olly foster with the latest from the bbc sport centre england from the bbc sport centre. england have named their 15—man squad for the t20 world cup in australia that starts next month. openerjason roy has been left out. the 32—year—old has played a big part in england's white ball revival but he has a had a poor year with the bat. he's managed 50 just once in 11 t20 innings and posted scores of 8, 20 and 17 in their most recent t20 series against south africa. he's busy very disappointed and just wants to have a chance to go and
1:34 pm
show that he's not finished in international cricket. which none of us think he is. i still think he's a fantastic player but the timing has been awful for him. fantastic player but the timing has been awfulfor him. to fantastic player but the timing has been awful for him. to lose four that time and also not have a huge amount of time to stop, reset and then find it again. that's been one of the issues that they've had. there's the 15 man world cup squad in full. england test captain ben stokes is included despite missing all of england's t20s over the past 18 months. mark wood and chris woakes have been recalled after injuries. the world cup starts on october 16 but before that england head to pakistan later this month, for seven t20�*s , they've named a larger squad for that with a few uncapped players . full details on the bbc sport website we've had first practice
1:35 pm
ahead of sunday's formula one dutch grand prix. it's max verstappen�*s home race but the world champion's weekend hasn't got off to the best of starts. he had gearbox failurejust 10 minutes into practice and the session had to be suspended while they towed his red bull away. verstappen leads the standings by 93 points from his team—mate sergio perez with eight rounds left of the season. george russell and lewis hamilton topped the timesheets for mercedes once practice resumed. andy murray and jack draper in the last 32 in new york... for the first time in almost 90 years, there are four british men in the third round of the us open, dan evans and cameron norrie. also through is rafa nadal, who is chasing a third rand slam title of the year. he came from a set down to beat the italian fabio fognini and he also picked up a nasty cut on his nose. looked fairly innocuous but his racquet bounced back off the court onto the bridge of his nose. in the beginning, i thought i'd
1:36 pm
broken my nose because... it was a shock, at the beginning and it was very painful and, you know, i lost all the feeling on my head, and made me feel a little bit out of the world. it seems it's not broken. i'm not sure, but i think it's getting bigger and bigger. serena williams will play her third round match in the singles later tonight but she's out of the doubles with sister venus. they were playing together for the first time in 4 years and lost in straight sets to the czech pair lucie hradecka and linda noskova in the first round. the williams have won 1a grand slam doubles titles together. serena, who is 41 next month, is expected to retire after the tournament, venus is 42, herfuture plans are unclear. there was a frenzied final day
1:37 pm
of premier league spending, 1.9 billion was spent in total across the summer, that's a record for the transfer window. you can find details of every deadline day deal on the bbc sport website. from climate change to the cost of living crisis and the war in ukraine, ros atkins has been taking a look at how some of this summer's biggest news events are linked together. let's look at how the biggest stories of the year connect. first of all, the cost of living, because prices are going up sharply, inflation in the uk is over 10%. well, we've been hit by a very, very severe shock, and that shock is coming through energy prices, i'm afraid. and the bank of england is clear on the cause and the consequence. we've got to be blunt about this, it's coming from the actions of russia and i'm afraid, as you say, yes, we are forecasting a recession now.
1:38 pm
and this impact connects to russian gas, it is exported across europe but one key pipeline is currently shut for what moscow calls maintenance. france, though, says russia is using gas as a weapon of war, and with doubt about the supply, energy prices are up. so are food prices. ukraine is a major exporter of wheat, wheat prices are up 25% since last year. but russia alone isn't causing the cost of living crisis, there is climate change, too. the fundamental issue that we've got, of increased frequency and increased severity of these severe weather events, is a result of climate change. at the moment there is a drought in europe, and droughts mean lower food production. for example, the eu sunflower harvest is forecast to fall, which will force up the cost of cooking oil. droughts also affect electricity production from dams, that is happening in china, which means more electricity will have to come from coal, which in turn means more emissions that cause climate change. and the war in ukraine may
1:39 pm
affect emissions, too. that's because europe's desire to get off russian energy may see countries increase other fossil fuels gives in the short—term. in the long term, though, it may drive a faster shift to renewables. and so, climate change, the war and the cost of living connect in different ways. covid is connected, too. because as covid restrictions ended around the world, increased demand pushed up energy and food costs. covid also caused labour shortages, something that was exacerbated in the uk by brexit. these labour shortages drove up costs in many ways, one being disruption of the global supply chain. now, that's the system that allows us to produce and buy goods from far and wide. for decades it has helped keep prices down, but when covid put it under pressure, businesses felt the difference. costs are rocketing. this year we will see about a £6 million bill on shipping, and we are having to pass that onto our customers. which means more pressure on prices.
1:40 pm
and covid's impact on the supply chain connects to another story, china's growing power. because of all the goods made in the world, 29% come from china, and that's driven rapid economic growth and demand for more and more energy. much of that energy china produces itself. not all, though, and injune, russia became china's top supplier of crude oil. so, china's growth, which in part rests on western consumption, is now making it harder for the west to isolate russia economically. there is more, too. because chinese growth is also funding its military. these are recent drills near the self—governing island of taiwan, which china claims as its own. america condemned these drills, as china knew it would, and so, in their very different ways, xijinping and vladimir putin are testing the west and the limits of its global influence. if we step back, what is at stake is the world order of the 21st century.
1:41 pm
all of which more awaits whoever becomes the uk's next prime minister. my plan is the right plan, to tackle inflation, to compassionately support those who most need our help. what we can't have is business as usual. we need to be bold and we need to do things differently. and so, the cost of living crisis means many people need urgent help. it also, though, connects to fundamental questions about how we organise our world and treat our planet. joining some of the dots there on the last big stories of the month. the popular broadcaster and former bbc breakfast

what say thousands of people from hong kong have left everything they know behind to start a new life in the uk. new figures show over a hundred thousand people since last year have taken up the british government's offer of a new visa route which was
1:43 pm
launched in response to a crackdown on freedoms and liberties in hong kong by china. elaine chong has spent months following the journeys of families who've bought a one way ticket to the uk as part of a new bbc documentary, britain's new hongkongers. she's been finding out if life in the uk is all they hoped for. it's the mo family's first time in blackpool. and how are you enjoying life in the uk? brilliant. most of the british people are polite and laid—back. like thousands of hong kongers, the mos came on the british national overseas visa launched by the uk government last year. we will put in place new arrangements to allow those in hong kong who hold british national overseas passports to come to the uk. it lets anyone born before the 1997 handover of hong kong to china apply to live in britain with their families for five years. after that, they can apply to stay permanently. the route was launched after china imposed a controversial new security law in hong kong. the mos live in crewe in cheshire. their daughter hayley is one of 12 children from hong kong who have joined the local primary school in the past few months. what do you think of the school? great. where did you play when you were in a hong kong school? we'd just sit in the class, sometimes do our homework. do you miss your school
1:44 pm
back in hong kong? yes. because my friend is in the hong kong school. and you miss your friends? if she was still in in hong kong, i think she isjust going to be brainwashed, you know? because it's going to be just like the education in china. she can't get true news, whatever she sees from the tv may be only fake news. the hong kong government denies that and says its education system has consistently developed generations of talent. in hong kong, there have been violent clashes in recent years between the authorities and pro—democracy protesters. we found some tensions in the uk, too, between hong kongers and those who are supportive of the chinese government's policies in hong kong. this man, who wants to stay anonymous, says he was attacked by a group of chinese men. the police made arrests but the case was dropped. the influx of migrants has led to business opportunities. in warrington, matthew tse�*s new property business helps hong kongers buy homes here. those bidding wars can even be sometimes going up to £30,000 or £40,000 above. we do see that they are bringing over, on average, 600, 700, maybe 800,000 on average. back in crewe, yowin�*s settling in, and has a trial shift in a local shop. just put the stock, stock it up, make it look tidy, and that's it, i think. as long as it can support my basic living here, pay the bills,
1:45 pm
that's enough for me. so, it's not bad if i can work here. you can see more on that story on the iplayer. now it's time for across the uk... a funeral�*s been held in boston this lunchtime for nine—year—old lilia valutyte who was stabbed while playing outside with her younger sister at the end ofjuly. hundreds of mourners from the local community gathered outside the main church in the town. phillip norton has been there, and joins me now. phillip, a difficult day for herfamily, what's it been like in the town ?
1:46 pm
yes, it's a very sombre mood, a sad day for boston. this is the day the town has come out to support a family and to remember their little girl. she wasjust family and to remember their little girl. she was just nine years old and perhaps some of the most poignant images is to see young children, herfriends, her schoolmates standing side by side, lining the streets with strangers, all here to pay their respects. united in grief, the town of boston showing its love for the family. on a horse—drawn carriage, nine—year—old liliya makes herfinal journey. this lincolnshire town had been encouraged to turn out in

1:56 pm
so, some heavy, thundery rain which could cause a problem in places. always wettest in the west, and it will often be quite windy. through the rest of today, we will see some rain moving across northern ireland, some heavy rain starting to develop across parts of western and south—western scotland. a few showers elsewhere, but some spells of sunshine as well. where we do see some sunshine in the south—east corner, highs of 25 degrees. turning really quite windy across north—eastern parts of the uk overnight tonight. and rain really sets in across northern ireland, western scotland, perhaps parts of wales and the far south—west. overnight temperatures generally between 13 and 16 degrees, it will be mild out there, stays quite windy, particularly up towards the north—east, and during tomorrow we'll see heavy rain at times across northern ireland, south—west scotland very wet indeed, some rain pushing towards wales and the south—west. there will be some showers elsewhere, particularly through north west england into the midlands, parts of the south—east, but generally speaking, the further east and north—east
1:57 pm
you are, there will be more dry weather and spells of sunshine, and some relative warmth in the sunshine, highs of 24 degrees. now, through saturday night, it looks like we are going to see another little area of low pressure developing to the south—west, squeezing the isobars together, and that will allow for some quite strong winds across parts of south—west england and wales to take us into sunday morning. more rain for northern ireland and western scotland where the rain will really be piling up by this stage. some wet weather elsewhere, blustery winds in the south—west but also once again up towards north—eastern corner, and top temperatures between 19 and 25 degrees. that's all for now.
