one of her letters revealing all goes under the hammer. sport, and for a full round—up, from the bbc sport centre, here's will perry. chelsea have agreed a deal to sign brighton midfielder moises caicedo for a british record fee of £115 million. liverpool agreed a dealfour million shy of that figure for the 21—year—old on friday, but caicedo favoured chelsea, and they have finally succeeded with a bid after having a number of offers knocked back by brighton. caicedo will become chelsea's eighth signing of the summer. neymar�*s leaving paris saint—germain to join saudi pro—league club al—hilal. the fee is understood to be around 90 million euros plus add—ons. the transfer is subject to the brazilian completing a medical and all the necessary paperwork. it comes after it became clear neymar was not part of new coach luis enrique�*s plans

for the new season. erik ten hag says harry maguire would be better off leaving manchester united if he's not confident enough to battle for a first—team spot at old trafford. maguire is desperate for more game time and is keen on a move to west ham, but ten hag still belives he can still be important this season. top centre back. he is the best for england, so why shouldn't he be the best for us? but he has to prove it. and when he is not confident enough to go in and fight, then he has to go, then he has to make the decision. but i am happy with him. not long to go until the women's world cup semifinals get under way. australia head into their last four—tie against england having beaten them 2—0 away in a friendly back in april, ending the lionesses�* 30—match unbeaten run. they meet again on wednesday. that was a friendly game, and yes, we do take something out of it. but at the same time, we are into knockout games in a world cup, so it is a completely different

game, and i think we want sort of let the result of that last game that played get in the way or alter sort of our tournament mode. i think the semifinal of a world cup, it is a difficult game, obviously they can take some confidence from that game, but we were not at our best, and i'm sure they are aware of that, and we have changed a lot since then in shape and players, and i think the momentum you have got in a world cup is different, so i imagine they will not be too focused on that, they know it will be a tough game, it is hopefully going to be a good game for fans to watch. despite reaching several finals, sweden have not won a major trophy since winning the first european championship in 1984. they face a spanish side appearing in theirfirst women's world cup semi. history favours sweden to make the final, but there's fighting talk coming from the spain camp. translation: yes, sweden are l one of the teams we have to beat, but they have an obligation to beat

us because of the historical record, but i'm also convinced, and that is how i really see it, that we can look at them in the face and if we present a good vision of spain, tomorrow we will win the game. when they lose the ball high, they are very quick, very good in taking it back, and there we have to be good in transition, maybe a little bit lower than we were against japan. it is going to be high pressing spain and sweden, and in between the transitions, and for me lovely football. france fly—half romain ntamack has been ruled out of a home rugby world cup because of a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament. ntamack injured his left knee in a world cup warm—up win over scotland. ntamack limped off the field in the second half and had a scan on his knee on monday. the world champions new zealand will face england

on the final day of wxv, a new women's rugby union competition launching in october. the three—tier competition aims to offer consistent annual fixtures for sides outside of world cup years. each tier has six countries who've qualified via continental tournaments and play—offs. the final placings are determined by a points table. and that's all the sport for now. police in northern ireland are investigating claims that a leaked document containing the details of thousands of staff has been posted on a wall in west belfast. the claims have come from sinn fein. it said names had been removed from the document which was posted near one of its offices. the police service of northern ireland's chief constable has previously apologised for what he has called an industrial—scale breach of internal data. live now to belfast and our news reporter sara girvin. what more can you today we heard about this from sinn fein president

gerry kelly, a policing board member, who said this morning a member, who said this morning a member of the political party went to 0 en an member of the political party went to open an office _ member of the political party went to open an office in _ member of the political party went to open an office in west - member of the political party merit to open an office in west belfast and solve four sheets of paper attached to a nearby wall. now, in terms of what was on those pieces of paper, he said one of them was a picture of him, of gerry kelly, one was a thread that read, we know who your mates are, something he described as very sinister, and the other two, described as very sinister, and the othertwo, it described as very sinister, and the other two, it is claimed, were pages with information from this data late, so that would have been police officers' ranks and places of work, but he said the names were redacted. they were told the member of staff took this down immediately and was holding it in the political party of his fourth least to collect as evidence. last week, when this news of the data leak broke, we heard from the chief constable of the psni, who said that he was aware of

claims made by dissident republicans that they had access to this leaked information, but that it could not be verified at that moment by the psni. now, all police officers in northern ireland are targets for dissident republican terrorists. the last attack was just a few months ago when a senior police officer was shot and seriously injured, and the threat ii in northern ireland is severe, the highest in the uk. the fear had always been that this information would make it into the hands of dissident republican terrorists. police have said today that they are investigating the alleged posting of this information and have been planning for this development. outside the office today, we did hearfrom gerry kelly, who said it was his belief the information was posted by dissidents as proof that they have access to it. police officers, i think rightly, said _ police officers, i think rightly, said that _ police officers, i think rightly, said that there was a claim that they— said that there was a claim that

millions of pounds for the public purse. legal firms have already made it clear in the last few days that they are ready and available, they are willing to represent all psni staff in this situation. so there is a lot in the mix for now, and the chief concern of police officers and psni staff, of course, will be their security and their safety, both for them and their families, security and their safety, both for them and theirfamilies, and we have heard from the psni about that again today. they said additional security and reassurance patrols are taking place across northern ireland as part of what it has called its organisational response to the fallout from this data leak, and it is a fallout that will continue for quite some time yet.— is a fallout that will continue for quite some time yet. thank you for the undate- — two—thirds of cancer waiting time targets are expected to be scrapped in england. national health service leaders say it will simply the system and hopefully help catch the disease earlier. it's thought the nine current targets will be reduced to three. the proposals have been worked on by clinicians and have been out for consultation since last year. some cancer charities, though,

say more investment is needed in treatment capacity. our health correspondent dominic hughes has the details: nhs england says it wants to simplify and update cancer waiting time standards following the advice of expert doctors. the nine standards that exist at the moment are said to be confusing for patients and staff. a consultation exercise on scrapping some of them was started last year. the outcome is set to be published in the next few days but it will need to be approved by ministers. what we have is a consultation at the moment with leading clinical figures in the cancer world and with the cancer charities asking whether the checks we've got are driving the right outcomes in terms of cancer survival or whether there are better ways of measuring those. so this is something led by clinicians working in cancer, it's not something being imposed by the government. three targets would be maintained: diagnosis of cancer within 28 days of referral, start of treatment within two months from an urgent referral, and treatment starting one month after a decision to treat. but other targets, for example, a two—week wait from an urgent gp

referral to see a consultant, including for breast cancer patient, will be dropped. nhs england says the changes would remove the need for unnecessary outpatient appointments in order to meet waiting time rules allow more patients to get a faster diagnosis. but the reality is that most cancer targets have been missed for some time, and labour believes that's what's behind this change. and under the last labour government, we had targets, we hit those targets, we didn't walk away when the going got tough. with this government, what you've got is targets that they've repeatedly failed to hit, and now what they're doing is moving the goalposts. recent figures show that just 59% of cancer patients in england waited less than two months for their first treatment to start after being referred by their gp, well below the target of 85%. everyone wants simpler targets, that will be easier for patients to understand. but the problem is, we're

in the worst consequences of my lifetime, and simply changing targets won't cure patients, we need to treat them faster and quicker. there is some support for the idea of simplifyinge targets for cancer treatment if it helps improve the focus on diagnosing and treating patients faster. but cancer charities say too many targets is not the reason that patients are facing longer waits, that's down to a shortage of trained staff and resources. dominic hughes, bbc news. for months now, hundreds of thousands of israelis have been joining weekly mass protests against controversial government plans to overhaul the country's justice system. now there are signs that secular israelis are thinking about emigrating. increasingly, they're a minority, because of the higher birth rate among religiousjews who largely support the right—wing government. our middle east correspondent yolande knell sent this report from tel aviv. another takeover of downtown tel aviv.

for six months, weekend family outings for this top israeli radiologist have been at these huge anti—government protests. but now professor hoffman is planning a more radical step, moving to a hospital in the uk. i'm going to london for a sabbatical, and this will be my laboratory to see if i can live outside israel. he may leave for good. in the long term, if the situation will be so bad, it's worsening every day, we will find a place to live outside israel. we all have european passports. and others also think of emigrating, as hardline ministers pushed through highly controversial laws. they say they're fixing a system in which elected politicians are too easily overruled by the supreme court. protesters argue they're weakening oversight of the government. unfortunately, many, many of my friends check the options in other countries.

i will not raise my kids in- a country which is not democratic. what do we want? people are coming out on the streets week after week to protest the dramatic changes that are being made to israel's justice system. but there are also deep social divisions that are opening up in the country. people are worried about the future direction that israel is taking. israel's current governing coalition relies on ultra orthodoxjews and religious ultra nationalists who represent fast—growing parts of the population. as liberal secular israelis become a smaller minority, they fear the courts will no longer be able to protect their rights. experts warn if it happens, an exodus could be devastating. when the truly talented people, who carry on their shoulders the innovation and the economic development that this country is so dependent on, when they decide they've had enough, then we could see a collapse, an economic collapse.

this is the main square. i visit professor hoffman at the israeli hospital where he currently works as a foetal neuroradiologist. he says, like him, many medics now consider heading overseas. even now we have we have a shortage of doctors. so if, you know, even 5% will not come back, it will be a disaster. back at the big protests in tel aviv, the fight for the government to change track goes on at full volume. but another challenge is also building, with more israelis quietly planning an exit. yolande knell, bbc news, tel aviv. pakistan has a new prime minister, sworn in as caretaker after the term of shehbaz sharif�*s government

you are alive with verified live, i am lucy grey. some football news next, paris saint—germain have agreed to sell for a star forward neymar to be saudi club al—hilal, the latest in a number of high—profile players to head to saudi arabia. nicky schiller is in the newsroom with more details. subject to passing those medical tests, neymar is the latest big name heading to the saudi arabian pro league, for a fee thought to be in the region of $100 million. worth bearing in mind that when he signed for paris saint—germain in 2017, it was 260 million, at the time a world record. the saudis are aggressively targeting talent. it is thought they have spent around $439 million in the close season, and it is not a one off. the chief operating officer of the league saying we set out to achieve this objective, to be one of

the top ten leagues in the world. of course, the superstar to set the trend was this man, cristiano ronaldo, whojoined a saudi arabian team at the beginning of the year from manchester united. it is thought his wages are around £173 million per year. it set off a flood wave of other players signing for saudi clubs. meanwhile, al—hilal have spent over 100 million on three players, including edouard mendy, jordan henderson and riyad mahrez. mahrezjoin from the current premier league champions, manchester city, and their manager, pep guardiola, had this to say — no—one thought this many top, top players would play in the saudi league, and he went on to say that in the future there will be more and that is why clubs need to be aware of what's happening. however, speaking to the bbc last month, the premier league chief wasn't too concerned. thet;t chief wasn't too concerned. they want to be _ chief wasn't too concerned. they

but it seems george harrison's mother wasn't impressed. that's mrs harrison who you can see right now. we know that because of a series of letters she wrote. this is one in which she wrote that she was "disgusted" at how fans behaved at one of her son's gigs is up for auction. mrs harrison answered thousands of letters from beatles fans around the world, including 25 to fanjanet gray, and it's those letters that are going under the hammer. stephen bailey is the manager of the beatles shop in liverpool, who is organising the auction. there is one in particular is really quite funny, isn't it, what she says about these fans of the beatles? she talks about how she was disgusted at how the fans screamed all the way through the act. i how the fans screamed all the way through the act.— through the act. i think she was 'ust through the act. i think she was just shocked. — through the act. i think she was just shocked, it _ through the act. i think she was

especially northern england and into the far south of scotland where we will see the wettest of the weather. there could well be enough rain to cause localised transport disruption, maybe a bit of flooding. quite windy across southern and eastern parts. sunshine and showers away from our main rain bands and temperatures generally in the low to mid 20s. as we head through tonight, that rain will linger for a time across parts of eastern scotland and north—east england. i think much of it will pull away by the end of the night. one or two showers out west, but the majority will be dry and clear, and not a cold night, 11—15 degrees. tomorrow the last vestiges of that rain will tend to clear from eastern scotland and north—east england, and then it is a sunshine and showers day. some of the showers could be on the heavy side, but there will be some decent dry gaps in between and some spells of sunshine. temperature—wise, we are looking at 19 degrees in aberdeen, 23 in norwich and in london. as we move out of tuesday and into wednesday, we start to see this quite weak area of high pressure building its way in.

that will settle things down to some extent. underneath that high we could see some dense fog patches to start, particularly around western parts of england, wales and northern ireland. some of that fog taking a while to clear, but it should do quite readily through the morning. then some sunny spells, a chance of one or two showers, but signs of something perhaps a bit warmer developing down towards the south—east. it looks like we will see some warmer weather later in the week. it is going to be quite a warm week generally across much of continental europe, and as we move through on into the start of friday we will start to develop a south—easterly breeze, bringing some of that warmer air our way. butjust how warm it gets depends on the progress of this frontal system swinging in from the atlantic, because that is going to bring cloud and some heavy rain northwards and eastwards. before that arrives, it looks like temperatures will, for some, get up into the middle 20s celsius, but some very wet weather swinging its way eastward through friday and into the start of the weekend.

live from london, this is bbc news. the death toll in hawaii's devastating wildfires rises to 96 — hundreds of people are still missing. niger's coup leaders say they'll prosecute the toppled president — for high treason.

charities and cancer specialists express concerns over plans to scrap cancer treatment targets. screaming fans at beatles' concerts �*disgusted' george harrison's mum — according to one of her letters, which is now going under the hammer. hello, i'm lucy grey. welcome to verified live, three hours of breaking stories, and checking out the truth behind them. we start in hawaii, where the number of people confirmed dead — following devastating wildfires — has risen to 96. five days after fires hit the state — hundreds of people remain unaccounted for. it's the deadliest us disaster of its kind in more than a century. the military is helping to look for victims in the town of lahaina. but so far only a tiny fraction of the affected area — less than 5% — has been searched. those who survived are turning their thoughts to how to rebuild — its estimated that could cost more than $5 billion.
