6:32 pm
it is a bittersweet decision but there is so much to celebrate. he thanked his family and fans. 0ur sports correspondent andy swiss has more. where do you begin with roger federer, notjust one of the greats of tennis but the greats of world sport. as he said in his statement, he is now 41 and has not played a competitive match since he was knocked out at the quarterfinals at wimbledon last summer, and it seems that the knee injury which has been plaguing him in recent years has finally got the better of him. but he is one of the most successful tennis players that the sport has ever seen. he won the men's singles at wimbledon eight times, more than any man in history, he was the king of centre court. he first won it back in 2003, the first of five in a row. he last won it in 2017, amidst hugely emotional scenes. he won 20 grand slams in total, and only rafa nadal and novak djokovic have
6:33 pm
more grand slam titles than that in the men's game. he was world number one for the best part of six years in his prime. but in recent seasons we have seen him struggling more comes just after the retirement of serena williams, so tennis is seeing the retirement of two of its greatest players in history in just a matter of weeks. as you would expect, there has been lots of reaction to federal�*s retirement from the world of tennis. wimbledon said, it has been a privilege to witness yourjourney and see you become a champion in every sense of word. billie in every sense of word. jean king called him a champion's billiejean king called him a champion's champion with historic memories that will live on and on. and rafa nadal said it has been a pleasure and honour and privilege to share all these years with you. annabel croft has more.
6:34 pm
certainly when i reflect back on his career, he was one of the most beautiful tennis players that i have witnessed on the court in terms of how he played, the fluidity, the grace, the balletic and artistic qualities that he brought to the game. and also the way that he coped with pressure situations, he was someone that embraced pressure and walked towards it, and played so much of his career with a target on his back, and yet he coped so incredibly well. with the world cup just over two months away, england manager gareth southgate has named his squad for the final round of games in the nations league, and amongst the 28—man squad is brentford's ivan toney, who gets his first call—up to the senior side. the striker has scored five goals in six league matches so far this season.
6:35 pm
goalkeeper dean henderson is also recalled for the upcoming matches against italy and germany. marcus rashford misses out after picking up an injury. meanwhile northern ireland manager ian baraclough has included a new face in his squad. kofi balmer gets his first call—up for the matches. northern ireland have gone iii matches without a win in the competition, and have currently just two points from four games. england's one—day captainjos buttler says he and his team—mates want to honour the queen during the historic tour of pakistan. the squad arrived in the country earlier today ahead of seven t20 internationals, the first of which gets under way on tuesday. it is the first time england have toured pakistan in 17 years. that's all your sport for now. that big news on roger federer. and we'rejust going to that big news on roger federer. and we're just going to go back to our continued special coverage of this week. ijust want

6:41 pm
officially announced or independently verified. the city has been heavily damaged by shelling. from kyiv, hugo bachega sent this report. this is what the russians left behind in izyum, a key city now back in ukrainian hands. almost nothing remains untouched by the war. these are the visible scars. what lies beneath, it's still not clear. bodies are being found and allegations of torture are emerging. the horrors of life under occupation. translation: we were | staying in the basements without food and water. russia was providing humanitarian help and initially i refused to take it. to be honest i didn't want to take anything from russia, but we had nothing to eat, we had to survive. ukraine is pressing ahead. it says all invaded territory will be taken back. it knows it won't be easy but it feels it's got the momentum. here, a show of defiance, a visit by president zelensky with the front line just miles away. his message was as clear as ever.
6:42 pm
we see that russia has destroyed, but the main thing we are coming back and we are on the way to the end. but russia is fighting back. perhaps it's no coincidence that this time they attacked the president's hometown. a dam was hit and residents had to evacuate. ukraine's advance in kharkiv has been stunning. in the south, the situation is said to be more difficult. there, the top prize is the city of kherson. as many as 20,000 russian troops are believed to be holding up with limited supplies. after pushing the russians out of the northeast, ukrainians hope to do same elsewhere. much will depend on what this man decides to do. president putin today arrived
6:43 pm
in uzbekistan for talks with regional leaders. at the top of the agenda, a meeting with president xi of china. for the kremlin, the visit is designed to show that russia isn't isolated and the western sanctions haven't worked, but with his army and the economy in trouble, the world is waiting to see his next move. hugo bachega, bbc news, kyiv. in the next few days, we should be hearing from our energy suppliers about what is happening to our bills in two weeks' time. it's been a week since the government announced the energy price guarantee which brings down the amount that bills were due to increase by in october. but the vast majority of households will still see an increase in the rate they pay as we move into the autumn. 0ur consumer affairs correspondent colletta smith has been finding out what it will mean for your bill. keeping the lights on is getting more expensive for most of us next
6:44 pm
month, but many of the parents at this school are facing unimaginable choices. everybody�*s feeling the pinch, everybody�*s starting to make decisions that they never thought they'd have to make and they're difficult decisions, that they don't come anywhere close to the decisions that the most needy have to make and nobody living today, and i think for generations, nobody has made this decision, difficult ones about what they sacrifice, food, energy and clothing, and books for children should definitely not be on the list. the government stepped in last week and reduced the amount the price cap will go up by. this government is moving immediately to introduce a new energy price guarantee that will give people certainty on energy bills. so direct debit customers on a basic default tariff will now be charged 34p per kilowatt hour for electricity, and 10.3p for gas. but everyone's bill will look different.
6:45 pm
for a typical household it's around £2,500 a year, which is £1,000 more than this time last year. but that's just to give you an idea of what the new prices will look like. if you use more gas and electricity than that, you'll be paying more than that. the government are also knocking £400 off everyone's bill for the next six months, but october's price is still a rise and millions of people have already been struggling. on my income it's very hard to cope with it. i see how it goes. i got an e—mail saying it's going up but we don't know how much yet. it's unaffordable now, like. what do you do though, it's always going to be like that. this neighbourhood is one of many likely to see a big increase in the number of people unable to afford their bills. what's happening now is the deepening of your poverty experience. some people will have been experiencing that for the last ten years, maybe it's just got even harderthan it did. these are solid wall houses,
6:46 pm
they need a bit more money investing than do houses with cavity wall insulation, but it's an area where lots of people don't have very much money and where people need that kind of extra support in order to be able to live decent lives, to be well enough to go to school and to go to work. without extra help targeted at the most vulnerable, it's feared millions more families won't be able to afford the bills as the price goes up and the temperature goes down. colletta smith, bbc news, in leeds. the founder of the outdoor fashion brand patagonia, has given away the entire company which is valued at around a £2.5 billion — to a charitable trust. yvon chouinard said any profit not reinvested in the running of the business would go to fight climate change. he claimed that the profits donated to cliamate causes will amount to around £87 million a year. hundreds of people have reported
6:47 pm
seeing a "shooting star" across the sky over scotland and northern ireland. the uk meteor network said it began getting reports of the fireball last night. scientists are using video footage filmed by the public to work out whether the object travelling across the night sky was a meteor or spacejunk and where it came from. it is not yet known if it landed or burnt up in the atmosphere. back now to our main story. the death of her majesty the queen. the prince and princess of wales have been in sandringham in norfolk today to see the tributes left there for the queen. the royal residence was packed with family memories for her majesty — and it gave her the chance to indulge her love of simple pleasures like walking the dogs, or taking tea with the women's institute. jo black went to find out more. while much of the focus has been in scotland and london, here in norfolk, on the sandringham estate, is a growing blanket of flowers — a declaration of people's affection, admiration and appreciation for the late monarch. "where is the queen?" asks three—year—old matilda.
6:48 pm
"she's up in the clouds," she's told by her mum, charlotte. she has gone, yeah. the queen was very important, wasn't she? she played a big part in everybody�*s lives, didn't she? but now, where is the queen now? at...up in the sky. in heaven, yeah. in the sky. she's gone. she's gone to rest. it's very emotional- and it's really, really... a proper place to be on a day| like this, and a time like this. they're going to learn about this at school. so, you know, we can tell them we brought flowers and, you know, say that they've been and laid flowers for the queen. the late queen was able, when she was at sandringham, to drive around the estate, to be very much the lady with the head scarf on, and the tartan skirt,
6:49 pm
