and act as a shock merger with the saudi backed rival liv golf, ending a bitter split in men's professional golf. —— announces a shock merger. sport now and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's jane dougal. hello from the bbc sport centre. astonishing news from the world of golf, the astonishing news from the world of golf, the pga astonishing news from the world of golf, the pga tour astonishing news from the world of golf, the pga tour has astonishing news from the world of golf, the pga tour has agreed astonishing news from the world of golf, the pga tour has agreed to merge with liv golf and it has been a difficult time for the last year in professional golf and the controversial breakaway league bankrolled by billions of dollars from saudi arabia's sovereign wealth fund led to the pga tour banning the golfers who joined it and personal feuds between players. we can speak to our bbc golf commentator. how significant is the news? hugely

saw this coming is the solution to the problem. a merger announced today and even the players as we can see on social media, finding out at the same time as the rest of us, a former open champion has just said he has found out the news the same way as everybody else. it will be fascinating to see what the fallout is from this absolute surprise announcement because so many players pinned their reputations and financial security on a backing the pga tour but now the pga tour have said they will be merging with the liv golf and taking an awful lot of money from saudi arabia and may be that this part of the story that could not go away. it is the liv golf saudi money which has done the talking here really and persuaded

the pga tour and the dp world tour to merge with liv golf. but for golf fans, it could be positive news because finally you will see the best players in the world like dustinjohnson, phil mickelson, competing again, if they get their membership back on the pga tour, we will see the best players playing together again which is a positive thing for golf fans but for many people, they will say this is another example of sports washing that has worked. money has done the talking and a regime that has a very questionable human rights record has managed to paint itself in a positive light by aligning itself with the sport like golf. thanks for “oininu us. it's the first day of quarter finals at the french open. novak djokovic is continuing his

attempt to win a 23rd grand slam title — he's playing russia's karen kachanov. he lost the first set. he went on to win the second set on a tie—break and the third set is under way. djokovic has already broken serve. but we now know the first two women to reach the semi finals. there was no handshake, as expected, between second seed aryna sabalenka and ukraine's elina svitolina, after the belarusian came out on top 6—4 6—4. and czech player karolina muchova will be sabalenka's next opponent. she beat russia's anastasia pavlyuchenkova 7—5, 6—2. more on the breaking golf story on the bbc news website. and that's all the sport for now. thanks forjoining us.

president zelensky said the russian —controlled dam was destroyed by an internal explosion in what he called a war crime and an act of terrorism. the russian defence minister has also been speaking, accusing ukraine of blowing up the hydroelectric dam and he said it was part of a plan to redeploy units from the kherson region for operations against russian forces. translation: tonight the k iv russian forces. translation: tonight the kyiv regime — russian forces. translation: tonight the kyiv regime it _ russian forces. translation: tonight the kyiv regime it committed - russian forces. translation: tonight the kyiv regime it committed and - the kyiv regime it committed and other terrorist crime. the hydroelectric dam was blown up which led to the flooding of significant territories. having failed in its offensive actions and in order to strengthen its potential, the enemy intends to transfer units and equipment from a kherson to the area of its offensive actions and the enemy has begun building defensive positions on the right bank of the river which indicates its intention

to turn to defence there. that was the russian _ to turn to defence there. that was the russian defence _ to turn to defence there. that was the russian defence minister. - to turn to defence there. that wasl the russian defence minister. both sides trade claim and counterclaim. we have been looking into some of the footage. ukraine has accused russia of blowing up a major dam in the kherson region. moscow officials have accused ukraine of striking it, so what actually happened? this video shows the aftermath of the breach of the dam and we know it is the dam in question because we were able to link some of the footage to footage from a few years ago. we also have fresh satellite imagery from earlier today that shows significant damage to the facility

and you can water here flowing freely through it. what it does not show is the nature, the exact nature of the damage. we have also verified footage from residential areas today that have been hit by flooding. that includes footage from in and around the town of kakhovka which is controlled by russia and also further down the dnipro river, the city of kherson. we still do not know, and that remains an open question, what actually caused the damage to the dam but we know from the satellite imagery from the past few days that there was some damage to the roadway by the dam but we do not know whether that is in any way related to the current incident and we do not have any verified footage of any explosions happening in the area and that means we will continue to monitor the situation, there footage and bringing you any updates when we can. we will return to the high court in

london and the testimony from prince harry. he said the tabloid hacked his voice mail when he was a pupil at eton, making him feel he could not trust anybody. these are the pictures from outside the court building. we are told that prince harry will actually leave the court in a few moments. i think we just had a glimpse of him coming out. lots of cameras on the doors of the high court as prince harry ends his day of cross—examination. it is still to be clear as to whether there will be a second day. we can speak to emily andrews, a royal journalist. what have you made of it? it journalist. what have you made of it? ., , , ., ,. ., it? it has been fascinating. the first time a _ it? it has been fascinating. the first time a member _ it? it has been fascinating. the first time a member of - it? it has been fascinating. the first time a member of the -

pictures show the doorway as we wait to see prince harry emerging from the session that you have just been describing. so interesting to read the witness statement where he laid bare the impact and he said a lifetime of tabloid attention has had a real impact. it was quite a statement. had a real impact. it was quite a statement-— had a real impact. it was quite a statement. ., ~ ., statement. for those like me who have been following _ statement. for those like me who have been following this - statement. for those like me who have been following this and - statement. for those like me who have been following this and his l have been following this and his journey for some time, it is no surprise, and most of us will have sympathy with prince harry for his feelings of paranoia and upset and his central tenet which is that what the public is interested in, his personal life, is that in the public interest? that is essentially what he wants a law court to decide in the terms of allegations that his phone was hacked and the stories were gathered through illegal information gathering. he had a

pretty brutal time of it from the mira's kc andrew green who went through the 30 degrees article that harry claims was written as a result of phone hacking, and contained information, and on a number of occasions and a great demonstrate articles were either a repetition of articles were either a repetition of articles from other newspapers —— andrew was able to demonstrate. another article had been part of a press release from buckingham palace. and another story, a contentious story that harry's barrister yesterday introduced about william and harry clashing over whether to see diana's butler paul barrow, harry said that he did not want to see paul barrel in the statement but in his autobiography he said that he desperately wanted to see paul and mr green said, which

constantly say, but where is the proof in terms of the link between the stories appearing in the press and phone hacking which is the basic charge? so the end of a long day of cross—examination for the prince but it started with a long witness statement which laid out the impact that press scrutiny and tabloid scrutiny had on his life throughout the course of it, talking up the phone hacking that he alleges began when he started at eton and talking about the strains and the paranoia in his life as he was not able to trust anybody, he said, in his wit statement. we are going to take a short break —— witness statement. we will be back with more on this story

and about events in ukraine. hello. the pause button is held firmly down on our weather across the uk at the moment. many of us have seen no significant rain so far this month and before the end of the week there's none to come. why is it so dry? the area of high pressure being held down across the uk currently. you can see it wobbles about a little bit in the next few days. that affects the wind direction somewhat and potentially where we'll see some of the thickest cloud, but it's not until we start to see this low, that's close to portugal at the moment, coming up from the south—west that we're likely to see any rain, and that is late on on friday. some big differences in the temperature, though, across the uk, despite us all being under that big area of high pressure. that's because of where we have the sun towards the west and where we have the thicker cloud in the east and the breeze off the north sea. through the evening, very little changes in that picture, but once the sun sets we'll tend

to see our temperatures coming down and then the cloud builds back westwards as any moisture condenses back out. clearer skies towards the west closest to the centre of the high. quite a chilly night to come — lows of five or six degrees. through wednesday daytime, we see the sun getting to work as it comes up, burning that cloud back again towards the east coast and it'll look a very similar picture for wednesday afternoon to this afternoon. temperatures 15 or 16 adjacent to the north sea, warmest spots in the west where we could see highs of 23, maybe 2a or even 25. thursday, very little difference to speak of. we start off with a bit more cloud spread out across the uk and it burns back to the east coast as we go. wind direction perhaps just a shade different, a little bit more northerly than easterly could mean we see the odd degree added to our temperatures thanks to a bit more sunshine along the north sea coast.

it's friday into saturday, though, that things start to get moving. friday night and particularly into saturday, the remnants of that storm oscar, this band of rain pushing up towards the uk and ahead of it hooking in some much warmer, more humid air. so for the weekend ahead, temperatures are going to come up, potentially even into the high 20s, but when we inject that moisture and that instability, thanks to the remnants of oscar moving in, it looks like we could see it as a pay—off for us getting that warmer weather certainly much higher humidity, but also the threat of some really meaty thunderstorms. for some areas, there's the potential of those storms bringing up to a month's worth of rain in a matter of hours.
