hello, i'm will perry from the bbc sport centre. we start with britain'sjosh kerr who stunned norway's olympic champion yakob ingebrigtsen to take gold in the 1500m at the world athletics championships in budapest. kerr clocked a season's best three minutes and 29 seconds to make his first podium at a worlds. it comes one year after ingebrigtsen was beaten by britain's jake wightman in similar circumstances in eugene. you know, ithink, in your sporting career, you are always defined on your best performances. and i knew, in my career, i would probably be defined by 3.5 minutes. and if that were 16 years, 25 years of work, and you are defined by those minutes, to be outside well, it sounds rather daunting, when he said like that.
11:46 am
and ijust knew, i didn't want to... i wanted to keep it tight, make sure that i was working my way in the last 400, and i didn't want to get emotional until the last 150. and then you could see in my face i might want is a bit more than him yesterday. and i was able to come away with a win, which is a surreal moment for me and a dream come true. men's 400m hurdles world record holder karsten warholm says it was very special to reclaim his title, as he recorded a dominant victory in budapest. the norwegian finished seventh last season after struggling with a hamstring injury in the run up to the meeting but was delighted to be back on top. it is great, now i am the first 100 metre hurdler to have four gold medals. and i like this feeling. i am so proud of me, my coach, the team, we worked hard, and to be able to stand here and get this gold medal back feels very special. katie moon from the usa and australia's nina kennedy decided to split gold in the pole vault
11:47 am
afterfinishing in a tie at the world championships. they could have gone to a jump—off but kennedy and moon agreed to share the title after both cleared 4 metres 90. neither could make 4.95m after three attempts. two years ago at the tokyo 0lympics, mutaz essa barshim and gianmarco tamberi paved the way to splitting a title when they finished deadlocked in the highjump. so that shared gold medal adds to the usa's total at the top of the leaderboard — 14 in total with seven golds. spain and great britain both have four medals in total but all of spain's were gold so they're in second. ethiopia have more total medals but fewer golds, which leaves them in fourth ahead of day six getting underway. simone biles spent two years away from gymnastics after she struggled with her mental health in tokyo during the olympics. now she's back competing at this weekend's us championship in california. it comes just a week after her first competition at the hydration classic where she claimed gold in the all—round competition. while never officially closing

the door on paris, at one point she was convinced her career was over but now has a chance to return, maybe for olympic gold. bit of transfer news to bring you. wolves have rejected a £47 million bid from manchester city for midfielder matheus nunes. wolves are keen to keep him with just over a week of a difficult summer remaining in the window and would want more than city are currently offering just to get into a negotiation. however, their financial position leaves them vulnerable to a sizeable offer, especially if they want to provide new boss gary 0'neil with funds to reshape his squad. nunes joined wolves for a club record £38m 12 months ago. at the copa libertadores quarter finals — brazilian side palmeiras have all but secured their place in the last four with a convincing 4—0 win away at deportivo pereira of colombia in the first leg of the tie. palmeiras were 3—0 up afterjust half an hour and clearly the dominant side, which showed here with the third goal.
11:49 am
robbing deportivo of possession and eventually myekay stuck the ball in the net. it went from bad to worse for the home side in the second half as rony made it four. look at that for a celebration. lionel messi's inter miami came from 2—nil down to reach their second final since the argentine joined the mls side last month. messi had two assists in a thrilling us open cup semi—final at fc cincinnati, which ended 3—3 after extra time. he converted his penalty as they won the shootout 5—4 in ohio. miami also beat nashville on penalties to win the leagues cup on saturday. they'll host the houston dynamo in the final next month. to baseball now and los angeles angels star shohey 0htani won't pitch again this season after tearing a ligament in his elbow. 0htani had a great start to the first game of their double—header against the cincinnati reds — hitting his major league—leading 44th home run of the season
11:50 am
in the first inning... but he then abruptly left the mound in the second inning because of the tear. 0htani still played as the designated hitter in the second game despite the injury. the team aren't sure yet if he needs surgery. wind checks between games, he has a tear. he won't pitch for the rest of the year. so, we're going to get a second opinion and go from there, but it is basically day—to—day. 0bviously, he hit in the second game. so obviously, this is disappointing. ifeel game. so obviously, this is disappointing. i feel the terrible for him. it is what it is, and if anybody can bounce back it is him. they certainly need him back and playing. and that's all the sport for now. you can get all of the latest on our website including all of the latest in the world athletic cabin ship and transfer news. you are watching bbc

junior colleagues, there is little sign of compromise from any side in the dispute. every year, zoo keepers at london zoo recalled the statistics of their animals to monitor their health and well—being. todayis monitor their health and well—being. today is weigh in day. we have this report. a wonderfuljob here today, what a day for it. we have been at london zoo all morning for the annual weighing of 14,000 animals. it will take a whole week to weigh them all. we've already seen the tigers, gorillas, and penguins. and now, we are at the squirrel monkey enclosure, some of the smallest primates out there. each weighs only 500 grams each. we werejust primates out there. each weighs only 500 grams each. we were just the gorilla enclosure, where the largest silverback weighed in at 196 kilograms. to talk to all of this, we bring in the head of london zoo.

we can share that with conservationists so that track the animals, work out whether an animal in the world is pregnant, or coming into season, or breeding, it is all important information.— into season, or breeding, it is all important information. time for the weather. hello again. today is a day of sunshine and showers. some of those showers have been heavy and thundery already, particularly in the south—east. they are clearing away into the north sea, and then we have got further showers coming in across western scotland and northern ireland. the more persistent rain pushing up into the northern isles. in between, areas of cloud but a fair bit of sunshine. this weak weather front continuing to sink southwards, bringing a band of cloud across parts of england and wales with the odd shower in it, but brightening up behind it. still feeling humid in the south with highs up to 26. now, the cloud continues to move down into the south—east through the course of the night. the northern half of the country still prone to some showers, but there will be some clear spells, as well, and a lot of dry weather. so tonight is going to be cooler than last night,
11:57 am
especially where we do have the clearer skies. tomorrow, then, we start with the cloud and the odd splash of rain moving away from the south—east, and then we are looking at a mixture of sunshine and showers. across northern ireland, england and wales, the showers pushing eastwards, but heavier, potentially thundery showers across the north of scotland where it will also be breezy. it is going to be a fresher day where it has been so humid in the last few days, with temperatures that little bit lower in the south—eastern corner. so, if you are off to the reading or leeds festival, you could catch a shower in reading. in leeds, you're more likely to see a bit more cloud at times. on saturday, the low pressure that has been driving the weather, especially in the north of the country, pushes into the north sea. weather fronts crossing us, bringing in some showers, and we have got a ridge of high pressure waiting in the wings. so, on saturday, there will be sunny spells, we will see widespread showers develop, some of those will be heavy and thundery, still going to be breezy in the north and south, and at times there will be large
11:58 am
areas of cloud moving around. temperatures, 15 to about 20. into sunday, there is a little bit of uncertainty in the timing of a weather front coming in from the atlantic. it looks like it will bring some rain in later in the day. further east, we are looking at a mixture of sunshine and showers, but fewer showers than on saturday and quite a lot of cloud at times, with highs of up to 20 degrees. there's also a bit of uncertainty in the timing of a front coming in from the atlantic on sunday. what's looking like is going to happen is that will come in later in the day, bringing in some rain. and mostly on sunday it is going to be sunshine and showers.
