hello from the bbc sport centre. the future of mason greenwood is still uncertain following the announcement by manchester united yesterday that it would be best for him to leave the club to continue his career. it follows an internal investigation at old trafford into claims against him of attempted rape and coercive control. criminal charges against him had already been dropped and the club say he has not committed any offences. greenwood remains on full pay while united work with him to find him a club, but his destination is still unclear. earlier we spoke the editor of manchester united fanzine "united we stand" manchester united have developed meson greenwood. he has been at the club since he has been six or seven years old. he was a generational talent. this is someone who, when i

was watching him during lockdown, i was watching him during lockdown, i was thinking, this player is on his way to becoming a world—class footballer. that still may happen. he is still very young, so manchester united don't think he is going to play for the club again, but he is a contracted player. manchester united could receive financial benefits from that. again it is very difficult, but i think manchester united have made a decision which is the sensible decision. i don't think anyone is celebrating the decision, and i think now, every party is trying to move on to continue with the chosen profession and their careers. this pep guardiola is set to be missing from manchester city's bench until after the international break following surgery on his back. the club confirmed their manager has undergone a routine operation and will complete his rehab in barcelona. assistant managerjuanma lillo will assume control of the first team in training and on the touchline until pep�*s return. city's next game is against sheffield united on sunday. before going off it seems pep

was busy sealing a deal. manchester city have agreed to sign belgium wingerjeremy doku from rennes for around 70 million dollars. the 21—year—old is set to become city's third major signing of the summer, after mateo kovacic and josko gvardiol. spain's women's world cup winners have returned home to a party in madrid with thousands of fans and after that they were greeted by the country's acting prime minister pedro sanchez in the final chapter of the teams in the final chapter of the team's celebrations. sanchez greeted the squad at the moncloa palace, led by captain ivana andres who was proudly clutching the coveted trophy. on day three of the world athletics championships in budapest — america's sha'carri richardson claimed herfirst global championship gold medal, winning the women's 100m final. richardson, who struggled in the semis and just about qualified for the final, claimed gold in 10.65 seconds. the 23—year—old missed the tokyo olympics due to a drugs ban but held off jamaica's shereecka jackson,

while five—time champion shelly—ann fraser—pryce had to settle for bronze for the first time at a world championships. obviously i didn't make the team last year. i don't think you had to say that. the fact that i'm sitting here now, and i am a world champion, it is the difference between now. i have been holed with myself. i have been able to stay in my faith, stay grounded. the people around me generally care for me. i stayed dedicated and focused, blacking out the noise, blacking out the media like yourself, and continuing to go forward. ifeel great. i feel great. major league baseball and a first grand slam for san diego padres shortstop ha—seong kim. kim hit the first grand slam of his mlb career off miami's ryan weathers in the second inning of the padres game against the marlins. it was the second home run in his last three games and 17th of the season

for the south korean. and that's all the sport for now. we have much more for you later. we will see you then. good to have you with us. we have development to bring you from the rescue operation we have been closely following in northern pakistan, where we have seen a cable car that has been hanging over a ravine. it has been an incredibly precarious rescue operation which has been under way to get the eight people who are on board off. we can tell you now, and it is good news, that actually the authorities there have managed to rescue two of the children who are on board. we are just starting to get details. in the last few minutes we have heard another child has been rescued. it is almost dark in this part of pakistan. it has been a very

dangerous and difficult operation to try and rescue those trapped inside the cable car. let's bring in courtenay bembridge. she has been following all the developments. you are on a whatsapp group with the bbc urdu, everyone is looking into this, and we have a good development. tell us what we have been hearing. bbc urdu have said that a police officer at the scene has confirmed that the rescue of two children was conducted by helicopter. the land that a helipad nearby. he says that doctors are present and carrying out medical checks and that both children are stable. very good development in this situation.— stable. very good development in thissituation. . ., ., this situation. what a good outcome, a lot of relief. _ this situation. what a good outcome, a lot of relief. what _ this situation. what a good outcome, a lot of relief. what is _ this situation. what a good outcome, a lot of relief. what is happening - a lot of relief. what is happening in terms of darkness falling in that operation continuing to get the others out?— operation continuing to get the others out? ,, , , ., ., others out? sunset is due around now. it others out? sunset is due around now- it is — others out? sunset is due around now- it is very — others out? sunset is due around now. it is very difficult _ others out? sunset is due around now. it is very difficult conditions| now. it is very difficult conditions in terms of the wind and losing light. they were also looking at whether they should lay cables to try to reach this cable car, rather than try to go from the air. as you

can see in the pictures this was an army commando lowered down to the cable car. we understand that they handed over supplies first, before those two children were brought out. it is believed they were brought out one by one via that helicopter. as i said, we are still getting all of these developments coming on. there are still six other people on board, including two adults and four other children. one of those we had heard earlier, had a heart condition, so there was a race against time to try to get him out. it is not clear at this stage whether he is one of the first that was rescued. he, we understand, is 16 old and the two that have been rescued in a stable condition. at this point that is all we know, that there are two of the children being winched to safety, landed on a nearby helipad, and those efforts will continue as it starts to get dark and with some urgency. starts to get dark and with some uruen . �* , ., , starts to get dark and with some uruen .�* , . , ,, urgency. beep c02 have been speaking to a olice urgency. beep c02 have been speaking to a police officer _ urgency. beep c02 have been speaking to a police officer who _ urgency. beep c02 have been speaking to a police officer who has _ to a police officer who has confirmed the rescue of the two children. doctors are present at the

four—minute journey on the cable car or two hours on foot. you can see the two hours would be quite an arduous walk. it is up and down mountains. these cable cars are quite common in this area. the interesting thing now would be a question about who manages their safety. as we are told, this was set “p safety. as we are told, this was set up by safety. as we are told, this was set up by a private resident who is an engineer and he decided to make it easierfor people to engineer and he decided to make it easier for people to get from one village to another. the question will be about what kind of safety precautions are in place, what kind of authority oversight authorities have in terms of safety, we are told they are checked every year to make sure they are compliant, but all of this will be looked at in the wake of this. right now the focus is on getting those remaining children and two adults of that cable car which is still dangling above the live above a ravine, hundreds of metres above a ravine, hundreds of metres above the regine live ravine, as darkness falls. the military is involved, and thousands of people have been brought into the area.

this is quite a unique area, the terrain is unique, and there are people with experience operating rescue operations in this area. they have been brought in, but also in terms of their cable plan that i let out earlier, that was an alternative plan in case the helicopter option wasn't going to be successful. they were looking at laying cable along to try to reach that cable car, and hundreds of people were brought in to help in that effort. we have seen a lot of the pictures of crowds gathering there. there are locals, the parents of the children have been gathering there, urging authorities to save their children. we have also heard from people who were on board the cable car some hours ago now, before the communication was lost, saying, please help us. everyone has flocked to this area. the military, of course, leading with the helicopter there, but there will also be efforts happening alongside that. if the helicopter, with the losing light isn't able to rescue the remaining children, the other option may come into play. b5 remaining children, the other option may come into play.— may come into play. as far as we know this — may come into play. as far as we know this is _ may come into play. as far as we know this is going _ may come into play. as far as we know this is going to _ may come into play. as far as we know this is going to continue, . may come into play. as far as we i know this is going to continue, even

though darkness is falling? yes. know this is going to continue, even though darkness is falling? yes, the authorities have _ though darkness is falling? yes, the authorities have said _ though darkness is falling? yes, the authorities have said that _ though darkness is falling? yes, the authorities have said that they - though darkness is falling? yes, the authorities have said that they are i authorities have said that they are not stopping anytime soon. especially with the rescue of these first two children, i think they will be hoping the conditions as they are at the moment stay the same, and that they are able to rescue the remaining children in much the same way, by helicopter. corny,it much the same way, by helicopter. corny, it has been invaluable to have you going to the local media and talking to the bbc urdu team and finding out what is going on. just to confirm, it is good news that we are hearing from pakistan, that two children have been rescued from a group of six children and two adults. they were trapped in this cable car that you are seeing now. it is dangling in a precarious position over a ravine in northern pakistan. it is very windy there, that has made it very difficult to try and get people and helicopters and the military commandos to the cable car. we are hearing from doctors who are present at the helipad that they have landed, they are carrying out medical checks on those two children and they are both

well. the rescue continues and we will continue to keep you up—to—date with all the developments. hello. the weather hasn't been too bad across most of the uk so far today with lengthy spells of sunshine, but some of us have had to use our umbrellas too. there are a few showers lurking around some western and north—western areas. here's the big picture across the north atlantic and europe. look at that pattern in the jet stream, moving northwards around greenland, then southwards and then right over us. with the warm air or hot air to the south, with this pattern it means that all the heat is being deflected to more central and eastern parts of europe, so an intense heatwave across some parts of europe through the middle part of the week, in excess of a0 degrees across spain, france and italy, but here in the uk, we're just feeling the effects of that warmth, particularly in the south and the south—east. here's the recent satellite picture. a few showers there. this is the jet stream i've got here.

that's the wind at 30,000 feet streaking the clouds along. temperatures today, pleasant — 20 degrees in belfast, around 21 in newcastle, similar for liverpool and then in norwich and london around the mid 20s. the forecast for this evening, a lot of fine weather around, a few scattered showers there across parts of southern scotland, maybe the lake district. then we have this little weak weather system sweeping in just to the south of ireland, moving into wales, so perhaps some rain here early in the morning. the temperature's a little on the fresh side in aberdeen, eight degrees, but for most of us around 12 to ia. more cloud for a time in the morning for wales and parts of central england, but then it looks as though the clouds should break up, there will be some sunshine around and tomorrow overall a similar day. the temperatures will be similar, around 19 or 20 in the north, typically the mid 20s across the south. a low pressure, be it a weak one, is in charge of the weather on thursday. the winds aren't going to be particularly strong with this weak area of low pressure,

but there is a fair amount of cloud spinning around across western and north western scotland, so some showers here. there could be a few showers elsewhere, as well. that warmth is starting to contract to the extreme east and the south—east there, so 25, whereas in glasgow we're talking about 17. i think, in the days ahead, the temperatures will pretty much stabilise in the north of the country, so about 18 for edinburgh and belfast, but in london it will cool off from 25 into the low 20s. that's it from me. bye— bye.

live from london, this is bbc news. breaking news, two children rescued from a cable car dangling over a river in pakistan with efforts continuing to get six others to safety. 18 bodies found in a remote forest in greece where wildfires have been burning for days. after the baby killer lucy letby is jailed for life, calls for tougher regulation of health service managers. we begin our programme in pakistan — from where we've just heard that one child has been rescued, from a cable car which is dangling above a ravine. as the evening sets in, rescuers are continuing to work to free five other children and two adults who remain trapped inside. this is video from the scene take earlier today — you can see the cable car dangling precariously over a river bed.
