some rain from time to time, particularly in the morning. conditions should improve in the afternoon, but this is where the rain is early in the day. and we've got some heavier rain affecting the south west of england. through the day, the rain becomes lighter and more patchy and many places do become drier. we've got a lot of dry weather across other parts of the uk, plenty of sunshine, just a few showers in the northwest of scotland, but certainly fewer and lighter than today. in the sunshine, it'll feel quite pleasant. temperatures typically 16 to 18 celsius. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines: merseyside police announce have charged 3a year—old thomas cashman with the murder of nine—year—old olivia pratt—korbel in liverpool and two counts of attempted murder. large parts of britain's rail network grind to a halt as 50,000 workers stage a walk—out in the biggest rail strike so far. prime minister liz truss has

arrived in birmingham for the conservative party conference, as she admits that there has been "disruption" in the uk economy following the mini—budget. the ukrainian military says it has regained control of the strategic eastern town of lyman in the donetsk region from russian troops — just a day after moscow annexed the area. now on bbc news, it's time for sportsday. hello and welcome to sportsday. i'm gavin ramjaun. who can catch arsenal at the top? mikel arteta's side are too good for tottenham in the north london derby. keeping the pressure on — rangers hit four past hearts, but rivals celtic end the day top. it's pole for leclerc in singapore — and a spanner in the works for verstappen as he chases a second f1 title.

welcome to the programme. arsenal's superb start to the season goes on, after a dominant performance in the north london derby to beat rivals tottenham 3—1 this lunchtime. spurs weren't helped by a red card — as they missed the chance to leapfrog their rivals. adam wild reports. as the premier league resumes, rivalries renew, but in truth, some are never really too far away. still, with the impressive start to the season both arsenal and spurs are enjoying, this north london derby felt just a little different. amidst the intensity, the atmosphere, a partey... commentator: chance to shoot. 0h! thomas partey�*s precision was perfect. spurs, though, would find a way back when richarlison�*s path was blocked. the referee offered

a more simple route. no—one has scored more in this fixture than harry kane. he never looked like missing here. but the quality of the first half made a mistake at the start of the second all the more surprising. spurs goalkeeper hugo lloris inexplicably letting the ball through his hands. gabrieljesus with the game's turning point. spurs, a goal down, moments later, a man down. emerson royal's challenge was as high as it was reckless. it would be his final contribution. the final word, well, that was arsenal's. granit xhaka's, to be precise. many spurs fans leaving long before the end. arsenal savouring every second. adam wild, bbc news. that's seven out of eight wins for mikel arteta's side this season. few would have predicted such a strong start. mikel arteta looked a very happy man when he spoke to the bbc�*sjonathan pearce. people now are beginning to say

mikel arteta's team might be here for the long term, it could be a team to do brilliant things this season. does that surprise you, please you, not bother you at all? we not bother you at all? are focusing on what we are doing. today is another sign that we are in the right direction, that we can play at a really high level, and we have to maintain that and be consistent and go for it. a really hungry team now? really hungry. you feel the desire. you feel the humility. because they haven't won anything yet important, and i think that humility is a big driverfor us. tottenham's players made their feelings clear about the red card for emerson royal to referee anthony taylor after the game. manager antonio conte would not be drawn into criticism of the match officials, but said it could have been a yellow card. sometimes you see a situation that maybe you look at and instead of red

card... they have to work out a lot about this. in italy, for example, our referees stay together three days to work together, to look at video, to try to intrude. i don't know if this happens in england, but it could be a good idea, because the level is so high, and we need to have the level of referees like sherry r. epremier league is high level. every part of the situation in my opinion has to be top. plenty of drama at anfield to bring you now — as liverpool and brighton drew 3—3, as the match swung one way to the other. it was brighton who went ahead early, and quickly — leandro trossa rd with both the goals. roberto firmino fired liverpool back into it — his strike initially ruled out for offside.

firmino's second, and then an own goal from adam webster, had liverpool ahead with less than ten minutes remaining, before trossard got his hat—trick to salvage a point for brighton. this game has different stories, i don't know exactly which one you want to hear. there is the story of the two early goals we conceded, there is the story of how we came back in the game, and the story of how we threw it away. i think it's important that we first admit that brighton, it is no coincidence that they are where they are on the table. really good football team, real team play. so, liverpool's slow start to the season continues — the club are ninth, 11 points behind leaders arsenal but with a game in hand. for brighton, their run of form continues, having only lost once so far this season. let's hear from their new manager. i

am happy, i let's hear from their new manager. i am happy, lam proud for let's hear from their new manager. i am happy, i am proud for my club. there was the possibility to win the game, but liverpool is a fantastic team. i knew before the game it can be difficult, and it was very difficult. graham potter has his first win as chelsea manger after his side came from behind to beat crystal palace 2—1. conor gallagher was the hero for chelsea, his injury—time winner at selhurst park sealing the three points. pierre—emerick aubameyang had earlier cancelled out 0dsonne edouard's opener, before gallagher took centre stage against the club he was on loan at last season. the win moves chelsea into fifth, but crystal palace boss patrick vieira was not happy with a var decision that saw thiago silva escape a sending off for handball. he was very lucky. but that is the referee's decision, var decision. it is difficult to understand it and to accept it.

we just have to move on. we are frustrated because i think we deserve at least a point today. but we just have to take it on the chin, work and get back for the next game. i think is a close one, i can understand patrick's frustration. he was quite _ understand patrick's frustration. he was quite far away from the goal. i would _ was quite far away from the goal. i would say— was quite far away from the goal. i would say it's a 50—50 has gone in our favour~ — would say it's a 50—50 has gone in our favour. that's the way it is sometimes. obviously, to concede a -oal sometimes. obviously, to concede a goal in _ sometimes. obviously, to concede a goal in the _ sometimes. obviously, to concede a goal in the first attack into our box puts — goal in the first attack into our box puts us on the back foot, but credit _ box puts us on the back foot, but credit to — box puts us on the back foot, but credit to the players, they stuck in, they— credit to the players, they stuck in, they pushed and pushed. a very ti-ht in, they pushed and pushed. a very tight game, — in, they pushed and pushed. a very tight game, we are delighted to come away with— tight game, we are delighted to come away with three points. newcastle got their first league win since the opening weekend of the season, beating fulham 4—1 at craven cottage. miguel almiron scored twice, his first a brilliant volley, his second a tap—in. callum wilson and sean longstaff got the other goals before bobby reid

scored a consolation effort. it's newcastle's biggest win under eddie howe. they were helped by the home side losing nathaniel chalobah to a red card for a foul after just five minutes. the win puts them seventh in the table. been a long wait for that second win of the season. we've performed really well in certain games and come away without the win. today right from the start, i know we had an advantage with ten men, but i thought we had great energy right from the start. i was pleased with the players�* response today. looking at the league table, we are looking healthy, in a good position, but if we hadn't won today, it wouldn't look that good. it is very early stages. we want to be in a healthy position. a disappointing afternoon, a strange afternoon _ a disappointing afternoon, a strange afternoon. of course the red card made _ afternoon. of course the red card made a _ afternoon. of course the red card made a huge impact on the game. it

was clear— made a huge impact on the game. it was clear it — made a huge impact on the game. it was clear it was a yellow card. after— was clear it was a yellow card. after so — was clear it was a yellow card. after so long time... it is difficult _ after so long time... it is difficult to accept. i will accept, but there — difficult to accept. i will accept, but there will be tough games, a lot of challenges. a moment like that, when _ of challenges. a moment like that, when the _ of challenges. a moment like that, when the other car, and that's it. west— when the other car, and that's it. west ham — when the other car, and that's it. west ham picked up the first league win since august with a 2—1 win over wolverhampton. a first league goal for the italian for the club. jarrod bowen doubled the hammers lead, as the ball fell to him inside the area. diego costa made his long—awaited wills debut from the bench. good to see diego costa back in the premier league. the spaniard

thought he had given his manager exactly that, when he squared the ball fought daniel prudence to tap home, but the goal was rightly ruled out for offside. wills fall into the relegation zone, piling the pressure on their manager. everton scored twice in a game for the first time this season as they came from behind to beat southampton at st mary's. all of the goals came in five frantic second—half minutes, withjoe aribo opening the scoring for the home side. everton responded though, with conor coady sweeping them level from close range, before dwight mcneil scored his first goal for the club to put them in front. victory extended the toffees' unbeaten run to six games, with a second successive win lifting frank lampard's side to 11th in the table, southampton slip to 15th. we had a couple of issues in our team, some illness. i'm not making excuses, but they were probably a little bit tired towards the end of

the game, because we didn't see out the game, because we didn't see out the game, because we didn't see out the game when we should have. it can get tough at the end of the game. but great spirit, it may be deserve more and earlier parts of the season that we didn't get. today we dug in and got what we deserved. ads, that we didn't get. today we dug in and got what we deserved. a decisive moment in this _ and got what we deserved. a decisive moment in this game _ and got what we deserved. a decisive moment in this game when _ and got what we deserved. a decisive moment in this game when we - and got what we deserved. a decisive moment in this game when we had i and got what we deserved. a decisive moment in this game when we had a | moment in this game when we had a chance _ moment in this game when we had a chance to _ moment in this game when we had a chance to score the second goal, but we don't _ chance to score the second goal, but we don't do — chance to score the second goal, but we don't do it, and we concede on the counterattack. even then you can see that _ the counterattack. even then you can see that this — the counterattack. even then you can see that this young team tries to push _ see that this young team tries to push back, — see that this young team tries to push back, to fight, and to create. we had _ push back, to fight, and to create. we had some big moments, but the ball we had some big moments, but the bait didn't _ we had some big moments, but the ball didn't find the back of the net. _ ball didn't find the back of the net. and — ball didn't find the back of the net, and then you'll lose the game. this prentier— net, and then you'll lose the game. this premier league is tough. it finished goalless between bournemouth and brentford on the south coast. this was the first premier league meeting between these two sides. the result means the cherries stretch their unbeaten league run to four games. but they've now failed to score in three, and after the game interim boss gary o'neil acknowledged the difficulty of scoring goals in the top division.

it's tough to score goals in the premier league. i think if you look at every newly promoted time,. i think in every other game we posed a threat. it's only two games without goals as well, one which i had a day to prepare for, which was wolves. and today. scoring goals is tricky, it's the toughest part, and that a reason to doubt why we didn't threaten as much as we should have. the reason why we didn't win was the final quality. — the reason why we didn't win was the final quality, especially in the final— final quality, especially in the final third. although a tight game. ithink— final third. although a tight game. i think we — final third. although a tight game. i think we had the opportunity. but that clear— i think we had the opportunity. but that clear cut 100% chance, they were _ that clear cut 100% chance, they were not— that clear cut 100% chance, they were not there. it is premier league. _ were not there. it is premier league, sometimes at the games are so tight— league, sometimes at the games are so tight and _ league, sometimes at the games are so tight and you have to produce one

moment, _ so tight and you have to produce one moment, and we were not able to do that today _ troy deeney�*s first goal of the season denied championship leaders sheffield united a fifth successive victory and stretched birmingham city's unbeaten run to four games. the blades are nowjust one point clear of norwich city, who won at blackpool. blackburn edged into the play—off places with a win at home to milwall. qpr are just above them in fifth, after winning 2—1 at bristol city. burnley stay fourth, despite a draw with cardiff. bottom club coventry got their first win of the season, beating middlesbrough. that keeps boro in the bottom three. reading beat huddesfield 3—1 to stay third. wigan won at rotherham, sunderland and preston was goalless. and swansea came from behind to win at west brom. celtic stay top of the scottish premiership, after a hard fought 2—1 win at home to motherwell. they briefly lost top spot to rangers, who played at hearts earlier in the day and won 4—0, as paul frostick reports. a premiership contest in the scottish capital, as third—placed hearts hosted rangers, but it was the visitors who struck first.

tynecastle breached inside six minutes. a nightmare start for robbie neilson, but gratification for giovanni van bronckhorst. hearts countered but were unable to produce, unlike rangers. the lead was doubled. the magic was obviously unappreciated by the home side, cammy devlin shown a straight red. no premiership ground has seen more goals than tynecastle. as the rain briefly came down, it rained goals too, two more to seal rangers' win, keeping hearts at bay on the table for now. confirmation of the scores in scotland. aberdeen were also big winners, beating kilmarnock 4—1. dundee united stay bottom, after losing 2—1 at home to stjohnstone. hibs are fourth after a 2—0 win at ross county. just above them in third are st mirren, who won 2—1

at home to livingston. england have played their first game of the amputee world cup in turkey, but lost to a very impressive looking usa team. they lost 1—0 and face indonesia tomorrow. they need a win to have a chance of qualifying for the next rounds. rhys pountain spoke to the england head coach, owen coyle, after the game. bitterly disappointed. it is obviously a tough result, starting at the world cup campaign with a loss, particularly a team we knew a lot about. in fairness, they were excellent. the game was really good, i thought our players didn't get to show off what they are capable of. credit to the usa, credit to eric and the staff, i thought they'd done and the staff, i thought they'd done a terrificjob today. but equally massively disappointing for us and it's a setback. it is how we deal with that over the next 2a hours.

still to come on sportsday: the fun runners and the serious business of raising money at the london marathon. if we do beat the record, hopefully when an 80 years of age i'll be able to tell my grandchildren i'm still the fastest item of stationery. it looks like max verstappen may have to wait a little longer to get his hands on his second formula i drivers championship. he'll start sunday's singapore grand prix from eighth, after a fuel problem in qualifying. it was ferrari's charles leclerc who took pole position. dan ogunshakin reports. the chance of sealing a second world championship in singapore meant the focus was firmly on max verstappen, as qualifying return to the marina bay circuit for the first time in three years. bay circuit for the first time in three years— bay circuit for the first time in three years. bay circuit for the first time in three ears. ., ., three years. the other rain left the track treacherous, _ three years. the other rain left the track treacherous, a _ three years. the other rain left the track treacherous, a reminder - three years. the other rain left the track treacherous, a reminder that | track treacherous, a reminder that things could easily go sideways. that would be a positive for daniel ricardo back now. he was eliminated

opportunity to secure a vital win. rugby union's premiership has been in the news this week — but the drama was on the field today. saracens blew away the champions, leicester tigers, in a repeat of last year's final. sarries made amends for that heartbreak. most of the damage was done in the first half at the stonex — with four tries putting them well in the ascendancy. sean maitland capped off a dominant display to make it three wins in three for saracens, and a second loss for leicester — 51—18, the final score. and sale also maintain their 100% winning start to the season. they got the better of exeter chiefs at the aj bell stadium. a first loss of the season for the chiefs. 28—20 to sale, the score. london irish beat bath 47—38. edinburgh were beaten 3a—18 by defending champions stormers in the united rugby championship. edinburgh led by ten, after pierre schoeman's try on the half—hour, but stormers came back strongly, and despite going down to 1a men in the late stages, suleiman hartzenberg's second try

secured a bonus point win for the south african side. there was also a bonus point win for ospreys. they beat glasgow warriors 32—17 in swansea, george north with the pick of the tries — the result moves ospreys up to sixth. here are the results in the later afternoon games. dragons versus sharks is just afternoon games. dragons versus sharks isjust under way, dragons looking back wins for the first time in two years. halifax panthers held off a second—half fightback from leeds rhinos to win the wheelchair rugby league grand final. rhinos had narrowed a 20—point deficit at half—time, but rob hawkins' fifth try with five minutes remaining on the clock ultimately denied the rhinos the opportunity to win back—to—back trebles. 52—48, the final score. in golf, richard mansell leads the way at the alfred dunhill championship. the englishman is tied

in second thanks to this birdie on the 18th to finish his third round on 67. daniel gavin is recovered from a poor second round to remain in the group behind mansell. rory mcilroy is seven under par following three rounds after scoring 66 today. his best score of the weekend so far. mark allen is through to the final of snooker�*s british open. the northern irishman made short work of thailand's noppon saengkham in the opening semifinal, winning six frames to one, and will face ryan day or robbie williams in sunday's final in milton keynes. not that robbie williams. thousands of runners are making their way to london for the largest fund raising event in the world, the london marathon, which takes place tomorrow — and it's notjust about elite athletes trying win and break records. it's as much about the rhinos, vegetables, vampires and all kinds of runners in fancy dress — aiming to enter the world record books in their own bizarre way and raise money for causes close to their heart.

this year, one of the most famous costumes in recent times is making a return. mike bushell has been to dorset to find out more. getting ready to chime again at the london marathon. the big ben costume brought back to life by a dorset doctor. he is hoping this time it runs like clockwork. unlike when it was one in 2019 by another runner, who needed four attempts and a helping hand to get under the finish line. a moment that went viral across the world. as a result, doctor simon phillips is taking no chances this time, practising his finish and getting some top tips from the previous occupant how to do via zoom. it from the previous occupant how to do via zoom. , ., via zoom. it turns out the costume was a lot harder _ via zoom. it turns out the costume was a lot harder than _ via zoom. it turns out the costume was a lot harder than i _ via zoom. it turns out the costume was a lot harder than i realise, - via zoom. it turns out the costume was a lot harder than i realise, so l was a lot harder than i realise, so i hope your knees are quite bendy.

hello there. after all the cloud and rain we had yesterday, today has been a more straightforward mixture of sunshine and showers. brisk westerly winds. we continue to see the driest weather across more sheltered eastern parts of the uk. but if we look out to the west, this weather front is coming in from the atlantic and it will thicken the cloud and bring some rain across more southern parts of the uk tonight and into tomorrow. and that thicker cloud starting to bring some rain before midnight into the south—west of england. and that thicker cloud will push some patchy rain east towards southern england and into south wales late on. keeping temperatures up here, but further northwest, skies are clearer. those showers tend to fade away. winds are falling lighter and temperatures could be down to about 7 or 8 degrees.

the winds will be a lot lighter tomorrow for the london marathon, which is good news, but there will be a lot of cloud and there could be some rain around, particularly in the morning. it should become drier, maybe a bit brighter into the afternoon as well. this is where we have the rain first thing across southern england and into south wales. there could be some heavier bursts of rain, mainly in the south—west of england in the morning. a lot of that rain becomes lighter and more patchy as it sinks its way further south in the afternoon. away from here, lots of sunshine around, some patchy cloud and the odd lighter shower, i think, in the north—west of scotland. certainly fewer showers than today. a lot of places will be dry. maybe not quite as warm as today through the midlands and east of england, with averages of 17 or 18 degrees. it could turn pretty chilly overnight into monday morning thanks to that high pressure. but it will get bumped into by these weather fronts coming in from the atlantic, and many places will start the day dry on monday. there could be some early mist and fog patches across england and wales. some early mist and fog patches across england and wales. otherwise some sunshine.

the cloud will increase across scotland and northern ireland, wind will pick up, gales in the north—west and this is where we will find some rain setting in during the afternoon. away from here, it's widely 18 or 19 degrees to start the week. it is going to be an unsettled week. we will continue to see weather fronts piling on from the atlantic, they get so far and then they start to stumble and then they will push their way eastwards again later on. so a very unsettled week ahead. some rain in the forecast most days across the uk. there will be some sunshine around at times, but there will be some strong winds. at least it should be fairly mild.

this is bbc news, the headlines at 8pm... a milestone in the investigation of the murder of nine—year—old olivia pratt—korbel — who was shot in her home in liverpool. the crown prosecution service has authorised merseyside police to charge thomas cashman, 3a, from grenadier drive, west derby, with the murder of nine—year—old olivia pratt—korbel. anyone with information is asked to direct message @merpolcc or contact crimestoppers anonymously @crimestoppersuk, or telephone them. large parts of britain's rail network grind to a halt as 50,000 workers stage a walkout in the biggest rail strike so far.
