been following the story. it would seem to be in crisis. without a house for the next two editions. although they insist there is ongoing dialogue with potential hosts. prepared to meet all the financial demands of staging such a big multisport event has become increasingly difficult. manchester city boss, pep guardiola, says croatian defender josko gvardiol is having a medical and should complete his move from rb leipzig "in the next hours." it's the community shield on sunday — treble winners city play arsenal in the friendly at wembley. arsenal finished second to city last season in the premier league, and guardiola is expecting them to push his side close again this season, and says they won't be the only rivals. everybody knows that if you start every season send the same, that is my feeling. it is not one or two,

there are lots of teams that are going to fight for everything and the challenge is massive for us. how we deal with it mentally and how we go as a team football wise and sustain that level. french defender axel disasi has joined chelsea from monaco forjust over $49 million. the 25—year—old will offer mauricio pochettino defensive cover at stamford bridge after wesley fofana sustained a serious knee injury. it's theirfifth signing of the summer. fifa is investigating an official complaint that the zambia head coach, bruce mwape, sexually assaulted a player at the women's world cup. fifa is investigating an official complaint that the zambia head coach, bruce mwape, sexually assaulted a player at the women's world cup. mwape is accused of rubbing his hands over the chest of one of his players during a training session in new zealand last month. in response, the football

association of zambia says it hasn't received any complaints and that all the sessions were filmed. well, zambia are no longer in the tournament after being knocked out in the group stages. the hosts great britain have won three gold and four silver medals after a great start to friday's evening session at the cycling world championships, in glasgow. gb dominated the para—cycling schedule, withjody cundy winning his 20th cycling world title in the men's c41km time trial. also among the medals were neil fachie and matthew rotherham, who finished just ahead of team—mates james ball and steffan lloyd, to take gold in the men's b 1km time trial. and the british moto gp is this sunday and six—time world champion marc marquez will be on the grid. the spainish rider injured his arm in a crash in 2020 and needed surgery, missing the next two seasons. this year was supposed to be a fresh start, but he arrives at silverstone having crashed in all three of his races this season. now i feel ready to fight for the

victories, so... there are a lot of crashes, a lot of injuries, difficult movement outside. but on the professional side, professional life, it's the hardest moment of my career. but the professional life is the best moment of my life. so the people around me are trying to help me go out from that situation. and that's all the sport for now. thank you very much for that. the oceans are warmer than ever. this week, the average daily global sea temperature beat a 2016 record. it reached 20.96 celsius — that's far above the average for this time of year. here's a chart that give you a sense of what's been happening. these are records that date to 1979. the red line shows this year's data, the grey lines, the previous years.

most records you'll are set in march at the end of the summer in the southern hemisphere. but as you can see, that record has been broken this year in august, and is largely down to the hot summers we have had in the northern hemipshere. here's our climate editorjustin rowlatt. murray and scientists send down an array of instruments to assess the impact of the warming water off the coast of plymouth. have we got a reading for today yet, do you know? i heard them say something around 18—19, which is four degrees higher than it should be. pa rt part of a global trend of warming waters. ., , ., ., waters. the ocean temperature or the ocean itself is — waters. the ocean temperature or the ocean itself is what _ waters. the ocean temperature or the ocean itself is what regulates - waters. the ocean temperature or the ocean itself is what regulates the - ocean itself is what regulates the temperature of the globe. so when we see the very thing that regulates the temperature of the globe increasing in temperature, that should be a cause for concern. some

it doesn't sound like a lot but what's the knock on effect of that? thanks for having me on. it doesn't sound like much, but you must notice this is a global average. so if you spread that over the globe, that is the average of many highs and lows. so that little change, when you look at the global mapping of regions that are impacted even more severely than the average would suggest. would you expect that to increase as we head into march and we get the southern hemisphere summer, will that keep rising? it is southern hemisphere summer, will that keep rising?— that keep rising? it is very difficult to _ that keep rising? it is very difficult to pinpoint - that keep rising? it is very difficult to pinpoint where | that keep rising? it is very i difficult to pinpoint where it'll but what we can say with good certainty is that as we go forward, extreme events will become more frequent and severe. so yes, that will happen. 50 frequent and severe. so yes, that will happen-— will happen. so if we have more moisture in _ will happen. so if we have more moisture in the _ will happen. so if we have more moisture in the atmosphere - will happen. so if we have more - moisture in the atmosphere because the oceans are evaporating quicker,

body temperature, they require the water to do that — is that why we are seeing movements of species, and are we likely to see more of that as the oceans get warmer? that are we likely to see more of that as the oceans get warmer?— are we likely to see more of that as the oceans get warmer? that is one ofthe the oceans get warmer? that is one of the reasons. _ the oceans get warmer? that is one of the reasons, and _ the oceans get warmer? that is one of the reasons, and there _ the oceans get warmer? that is one of the reasons, and there are - the oceans get warmer? that is one of the reasons, and there are other| of the reasons, and there are other reasons. the food chain has been a continuous system, so some echo systems in the ocean are highly sensitive to temperatures. as we lose them, we lose nurseries for many fish populations and other species, and that propagates the food chain. so marine life has to change because they can't find food where they used to. in many nutrients that feed the vital plank ends at the very base level, the next layer of the surface of the ocean, the layer where there is light and food for primary productivity, is very sensitive to

temperature, and that has another knock on effect on the food chain. there are many reasons why all go hand—in—hand and make marine life move around. it’s hand-in-hand and make marine life move around-— move around. it's complex and, as ou sa , move around. it's complex and, as you say. things _ move around. it's complex and, as you say, things are _ move around. it's complex and, as| you say, things are interconnected. scientists are very good at tracking data and monitoring the data as things go up and down, but is there part of this that you don't fully understand, how the earth will react to warming temperatures and what the knock on effect might be? there to warming temperatures and what the knock on effect might be?— knock on effect might be? there is certainl a knock on effect might be? there is certainly a lot _ knock on effect might be? there is certainly a lot we _ knock on effect might be? there is certainly a lot we don't _ knock on effect might be? there is certainly a lot we don't fully - certainly a lot we don't fully understand, and we need to make a decision between the complexity of the system, the earth's system is inherently chaotic, meaning it's inherently chaotic, meaning it's inherently sensitive to small changes which can manifest in big ways. and that makes it very difficult to predict, regardless of our scientific capabilities. and then, understanding a complex system and monitoring into the future has

its own challenges. but what we have successfully shown as a scientific community is that we have argued ipcc assessment after assessment that the frequency and intensity of various types of extreme events will increase, and they have actually increased more rapidly than we predicted, we were conservative. so i would say our collective ability has enough predictions about extreme events becoming more likely and impacts on tipping points. but narrowing it down to specifics and location and time is complicated, and our scientific capabilities, as they advance, will help us pin that down more accurately.— they advance, will help us pin that down more accurately. sobering food for thought. — down more accurately. sobering food for thought, thank _ down more accurately. sobering food for thought, thank you _ down more accurately. sobering food for thought, thank you very - down more accurately. sobering food for thought, thank you very much - down more accurately. sobering food for thought, thank you very much for| for thought, thank you very much for coming on the programme.— for thought, thank you very much for coming on the programme. thanks for havin: me. an appeals court in romania has lifted the house arrest imposed on the former cage fighter and influencer andrew tate. he and his brother, tristan, deny

to go between zones, or potentially face a fine for crossing boundaries. the idea was to get people out of their cars and travelled by foot, bike, or public transport instead. but the new leadership of the council is officially reviewing the scheme — which is a way of saying it will be scrapped. balancing the needs of motorists and the need to protect the planet is now becoming a big political issue. the conservatives have condemned the expansion of the ultra low emission zone by labour's mayor of london. for more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news website. ukraine has sent two sea drones into a black seat port and destroyed a russian naval warship. the bbc has not independently verified this ships exact location. but sidarth kaushal, a research fellow at defence think tank rusi, says the listing ship in the video is a landing vessel the 0lenegorsky gornyak. the night footage is a bit murky, but it appears to show the drone

approaching the side of the sheet and cutting out on impact. —— approaching this side of the ship. the video has been released by the ukrainian security services. if confirmed, it would be further evidence the ukrainians are adapting and improving their technology to reach deep into russian territory, both on land and at sea. but they are still encountering some major challenges. the russian army's electronic warfare units are jamming even the most sophisticated weapons that ukraine is using at the front, which is slowing the ukrainian counteroffensive. the bbc�*s abdujalil abdurasulov has more details. their battles are invisible, but the dangers they face are real. this is a ukrainian electronic intelligence unit. theirjob is not to fight with guns, but to monitor emissions — signals used by drones, air defense systems, multiple rocket launchers and other weapons.

we can't show their faces for security reasons. the team leader, with the call—sign alain, says that russian forces constantly hunt down units like his. their mission is part of a hidden confrontation called electronic warfare. but how does it work? almost every modern weapon uses radio waves, microwaves, infrared or other signals to send or receive data. and electronic warfare uses this vulnerability in order to disrupt enemy's communications, gather intelligence and identify targets. and for the first time since world war two, we're witnessing a conflict where both sides are heavily relying on the electronic warfare systems as part of their military strategy. drones have become a key feature in this war, but this is what happens when they are jammed by electronic warfare systems. it's notjust drones that can be affected. most sophisticated arms ukraine has received from nato countries use

a gps link for navigation. so when russia jams this signal, even high precision weapons, including himars rocket artillery, can miss their target. that is why both russia and ukraine keep their electronic warfare — or ew — capabilities in secret. this war represents new and very effective abilities of drones, radars, communications. and all of these system could be affected with ew means. if we destroy russian jammers, we improve capabilities of our troops in detection and the ability to have precise strikes. here, ukrainian special forces have spotted pole—21, a russian system that jams gps signals. ukrainian artillery

put it out of action. but russia is on the hunt for ukrainian electronic warfare units too. alain's group comes under fire. he thinks that russian troops may have discovered their antenna and now are looking for their base. alain tells everyone to use single rounds in order to last till the morning. he decides to change their location because the position is compromised. the key in electronic warfare is being invisible to your enemy. abduljalil abdurasulov, bbc news, kyiv. dr patrick bury is a defence and security expert at the university of bath, and a former nato analyst. thanks for being with us, what does this all mean for modern worship was —— warfare? we have sophisticated equipment blocking nato arms on the

front line — the rules appear to have changed. front line - the rules appear to have changed.— have changed. good evening, christian- _ have changed. good evening, christian. it's _ have changed. good evening, christian. it's a _ have changed. good evening, christian. it's a good - have changed. good evening, | christian. it's a good question. basically the way to think about this for your viewers is the difference between the character of warfare, which changes often rapidly given the lethal element and effectiveness of war, people are learning all the time, and the nature of warfare which is much more constant and is about using force and violence to compel the enemy to do your will. so if you break it down to those two categories, what this report, a very good report, and also on your website about what is often a very highly secret electronic warfare would fall into the former. you would say the character of warfare here is evolving rapidly with new technologies being introduced, measures and countermeasures, yet the nature of warfare, and we see this in the ukrainian offensive, it's got this really tech heavy

element of electronic warfare, drones, intelligence and surveillance sensors, yet guess who has to get out of their vehicles or the covers and kill the enemies in the covers and kill the enemies in the trenches? it's the soldiers. so it's a combination of those which suggest the character changes but the nature doesn't. taste suggest the character changes but the nature doesn't.— suggest the character changes but the nature doesn't. we had someone on recentlv — the nature doesn't. we had someone on recentlv in — the nature doesn't. we had someone on recently in the _ the nature doesn't. we had someone on recently in the programme - the nature doesn't. we had someone on recently in the programme who i on recently in the programme who wrote a very interesting piece about the way we procure and build our defences. and she drew a likeness between what's been happening in recent years with the old maginot line, the french defence systems, saying we spend a lot of money on things like himars, which can reach deep into enemy territory, but they are no good if you canjam deep into enemy territory, but they are no good if you can jam that with are no good if you can jam that with a very simple homemade piece of equipment which the ukrainians and russians appear to be using. so i just wonder whether the knock on effect of this is that governments will have to think very carefully

what they spend their money on? governments have already been thinking very carefully about what they spend their money on and defence. i know in the uk, procurement has been a problem for years. and you're right, the bet is on the future, and given what you know at the moment, that's why everyone is looking so closely at what's happening in ukraine and redrafting or tweaking their defence policies. of course the same thing applies to the aircraft carrier, and jets, if they can be jammed with their technologies. my understanding is, although the russians jammed himars initially, it was a workaround which has made it work again. i'm not sure if the precision guided bombs have this gps receiver... it's very different to something i would've experienced in afghanistan and we can really rely on that. g ,

up tonight, talking about electric pylons, would you have one near you if we paid you to install it? hello there. earlier today, we had a big line of thunderstorms that developed across parts of eastern england, and they brought some very heavy rain, like here in suffolk. further south, in parts of essex, they saw 9mm in just the space of one hour. so a really hefty downpour. and talking about rain, we've got more of that to come for saturday, i'm afraid, thanks to this area of low pressure that has been named by the met office as storm antoni. now antoni will bring outbreaks of rain quickly into northern ireland. the rain heavy and persistent here. some wet weatherjust edging into south west scotland, wales and western england. 0ur temperatures overnight holding up into double figures. but antoni could cause a few impacts weather—wise on saturday, accumulating rain for northern ireland, first of all, 20—40mm, maybe a bit more than that over the high ground in the mournes. it's enough to cause some localised flooding. and as our wet weather extends into england and wales,

it comes with a punch. some very strong gusty winds affecting wales and south west england, where gusts could reach 50—65mph, strong enough to blow down a few trees. and given there's a lot of people out and about at the moment, given the summer holidays, well, there could be a few impacts, some disruption out and about. the wet weather extends eastwards through the day. the weather brightens up for scotland and northern ireland. just a few showers here. for some, it won'tjust be wet and windy, it'll be really cold for august as well, with temperatures around 111—15 celsius. that really is rubbish. 0n into sunday, it's a better day weather—wise, as the storm system moves offshore. we're looking at a day of sunshine and showers. the greatest risk of seeing showers and a few thunderstorms for scotland and eastern england, probably drier for wales and south west england with the best of the day's weather. temperatures still a little bit below average for the time of year. now heading beyond that and into monday, it's a better day again. there's a weak ridge of high pressure building in,

and so a lot of fine weather for england and wales. fine start in northern ireland, but rain to end the day and in scotland, you'll get some fairly heavy showers, particularly across northern and western areas. the south and east of scotland probably staying dry with some sunshine. temperatures generally high teens to low 20s. but as we get towards the latter part of the week, an area of high pressure is going to be across the uk for the first time in some seven weeks, and that is set to bring some drier, sunnier and warmer weather. and for some of us, temperatures late in the week could reach at least the mid—20s, maybe the high—20s.

hello, i'm christian fraser. you're watching the context on bbc news. for years, he is to attend's personal prisoner so there will be no release relief for him —— vladimir putin. saying that he wanted murder him off and thrust into exile and for for him, it was to give them to create a gift, you want to be the nation in the optimistic and he is still trying to tell us that actually there is some for change.

the united states strongly condemns the conviction of alexei navalny. france calls it judicial persecution. the opposition leader was today jailed for a further ten years, to add to the nine years he is already serving, we will discuss it with out panel tonight tim montgomerie, founder of the conservativehome website, and joel rubin, who served in the 0bama administration, at the us state department. also tonight the british government wants to pay people to put pylons near their home. how do we regenerate the grid, with enough speed to deliver on our net zero pledges. and donald trump says he will stay in the race, whether theyjail him or not. so how do republicans who don't want him, as their candidate, aim to stop him. welcome back. in the end it was entirely as alexei navalny had predicted. in a prison courtroom, on evidence noone had heard, he was found guilty of extremism" and sentenced to a further ten years injail. on top of the nine—year sentence navalny is already serving

in a high—security penal colony.
