tackling serious crime. tomorrow, london's ultra low emission zone officially expands to cover every borough of the capital in a bid to stop the most polluting vehicles from driving in town. sport and for a full round—up, from the bbc sport centre. let's head straight to new york first — where the final tennis grand slam of the season — the us open — is under way, and the defending women's champion, iga swiatek is among the opening matches at flushing meadows. she's not long started her first round match against rebecca peterson, the world number one on arthur ashe today. elsewhere though we could have an upset, in eighth seed maria sakkari losing to spain's rebeka masarova, who won the first set 6—4. currently 4—3 to masorova in the second.

sakkari now serving to stay in the match and the olympic champion belinda bencic is also in action right now. she's up against the russian kamilla rakhimova — and a set up there, winning the first 6—2. the second, she's 5—2 on bencic�*s serve going for the matchrakhimova is playing under a neutralflag for this tournamernt though — because of the ongoing conflict between russia and ukraine. later on tonight, the three—time champion novak djokovic is on court — as he looks to win a record extending 24th men's grand slam title. he plays the frenchman alexandre muller in the opening round — and djokovic says he's excited to return after a two—year absence from flushing meadows. he missed last year's event due to his covid vaccine status. i see this every grand slam that i play right now is really a golden opportunity to make more history. so, of course, there is a big significance to that. i mean, i wouldn't say, you know, it adds a bit more to the fact that i have not

played here for two years. the feeling is pretty much the same. there is always expectation, excitement and ambition to win the title. it's pretty much the same this year. some more developments on the luis rubiales fallout now for spanish football — prosecutors have opened a preliminary sex abuse investigation into the president of the spanish football federation. it comes after allegations that rubiales gave an unwanted kiss to playerjenni hermoso following their world cup final win over england. he insists it was consensual — something which she denies. the prosecutor's office says it has started the investigation because "the sexual act was not consented". spanish football's governing body, and a spanish sports tribunal are also meeting today, to discuss his future. rubiales has so far resisted calls to resign. also today — news agency efe are reporting rubiales�* mother has locked herself in a church, and gone on hunger strike with what she says is an inhuman hunt against her son. his cousin — vanessa ruiz — says she wants the media to leave them alone, and for hermoso to tell the truth.

england international georgia stanway gave us her reaction to the situation. it's actually sad. i think to win a world cup, to achieve what you have achieved, people have an individually unbelievable tournaments, and for it to be overlooked by something that you say is a mistake. i think it is hard. that is why we put out a statement as a team to show our support and love and just say that whatever happens, we are with you. like i said before, it is about building into being powerful as a collective, because situations like this we don't want happening again. nottingham forest have lodged an official complaint with premier league match officials — over the performance of refereeing in their 3—2 defeat at manchester united this weekend. forest boss steve cooper was critical of the officiating — stuart atwell was the man in charge. his side had joe worrall sent off midway through the second half and had penalty awarded against them — which turned out to be the winning goalfrom the spot, decisions which forest officials felt were pivotal.

newcastle united's elliot anderson has been called up to the scotland squad for the first time, and his family appeared to have played a part. scotland manager steve clarke revealed anderson's inclusion came after �*good discussions�* with the midfielder and his loved ones. anderson qualifies to play for scotland through his grandfather — although had featured for england's under 19s in 2021, but he's now in the scotland squad for next month's euro 2024 qualifier in cyprus, and a friendly with england. and that's all the sport for now. thank you so much. we will see you later. britain's national air traffic services says a technical issue which hit its systems, causing hundreds of flights to be delayed or cancelled, has now been fixed. but the knock on effects are substantial. our reporter, nicky schiller is in the newsroom. what do we have? yes, i think we can sum it u- what do we have? yes, i think we can sum it up as — what do we have? yes, i think we can sum it up as a — what do we have? yes, i think we can sum it up as a technical _ sum it up as a technical glitch fixed, cancellation and delay continued. around 315 this afternoon

that the air traffic control service at that that technical fault that had happened during the morning had been fixed. now, it meant that flight plans for pilots that are normally done automatically were having to be done manually, and that meant that the number of flights coming into airports had to be slowed down. that led to the cancellations. if you look behind me, this is flight radar 2a who track all the flights coming in and out of the uk. you can see all the planes are now flying and taking off. a lot more than there were a little earlier. if i zoom in on heathrow airport, they you can see the flights landing and taking off. they have been going on. normally a flight lands every 45 seconds. that of christmas slowed down today. in other parts of flight radar that i can show you that will give you a goodidea can show you that will give you a good idea of that, this shows you across the rest of europe. where you see red, across the whole of the united kingdom, that is where they call it major problems with long delays and cancellations. it has

been a knock on effect in other parts of europe because of the problems here in the uk. it has led to hundreds of flights being cancelled. now, chris, who works for yourflight cancelled. now, chris, who works for your flight 24 and as a commercial pilot as well, a little earlier, he gave us up and update on the number of cancellation. a£111" gave us up and update on the number of cancellation.— of cancellation. our data, which we actually ran — of cancellation. our data, which we actually ran at _ of cancellation. our data, which we actually ran at half— of cancellation. our data, which we actually ran at half past _ of cancellation. our data, which we actually ran at half past four - of cancellation. our data, which we actually ran at half past four this i actually ran at half past four this afternoon — actually ran at half past four this afternoon indicates that we are looking — afternoon indicates that we are looking at almost 15 — 17% of total departures — looking at almost 15 — 17% of total departures and arrivals from the uk, to the _ departures and arrivals from the uk, to the uk_ departures and arrivals from the uk, to the uk today as being cancelled. slightly— to the uk today as being cancelled. slightly higher. as he mentioned before _ slightly higher. as he mentioned before but the data, that will be a gradual— before but the data, that will be a gradual catch—up of the data as the delayed _ gradual catch—up of the data as the delayed aircraft turn into cancellations. if we look at a airport— cancellations. if we look at a airport situation we have been keen on looking — airport situation we have been keen on looking at the london airport. today. _ on looking at the london airport. today, they tend to show traffic patterns — today, they tend to show traffic patterns because they have most aircraft _ patterns because they have most aircraft going in and out there at the day — aircraft going in and out there at the day. it's hard to avoid the most significant — the day. it's hard to avoid the most significant impact on heathrow airport — significant impact on heathrow airport. as a 4:30pm uk time,

issue. then we have the issue of fuelling aircraft in making sure they actually have fuel and the additional problem that at the airports themselves, there are aeroplanes parked in places that they wouldn't normally be parked in, and therefore they are going to have to be moved to allow other flights to be moved to allow other flights to land. so it really is a logistical nightmare both for the airlines and the air france. and thatis airlines and the air france. and that is what is going on at the moment. we know all the big airlines are urging anyone who is booked on a flight to check that it is actually going ahead before they travel to the airport. british airways, for example, has already said that some of its short—haul flights are going to be cancelled and they are focusing on the long haul flights and getting those out. we have heard reports from passengers who have been told there will be no pa flights out of heathrow until six o'clock this evening and then of course you have the flights that are due to come into the uk and the knock on effects at airports around

the globe. it's not on the going to be today that we see cancelled flights. this could go on for a couple of days as the airlines try and get back on track. i've just seen a tweet from the transport secretary, mark harper, urging people to check what their rights are when it comes to cancelled flights and like the airline should do for them. and if you are in the situation where you are expecting to get on a flight and it has been cancelled or delayed, if you check at the bbc news website or app, we have a special live page running and there is some really helpful tips and advice on what you need to do if you are in that situation.— you are in that situation. that's very useful- — you are in that situation. that's very useful. thank _ you are in that situation. that's very useful. thank you - you are in that situation. that's very useful. thank you very - you are in that situation. that's i very useful. thank you very much. lisa minot, travel editor for the sun newspaper, gave us her thoughts on the air travel backlog. imean, i mean, this was, as your reporter was saying, the busiest weekend of the year in terms of flights, the busiest insecta prayer of

pre—pandemic. any kind of impact would seriously affect air traffic control is always going to have far—reaching consequences. yes, the system is back up and running again which means they are not having to be locked manually. obviously the airspace is now opening up and they can accept my flights. but there is still the serious problem of the delays and planes are going to be in the wrong places, critically, aircrews are going to start running out of time if they have significant delays to either take off in the uk or where to arrive back into the uk. crews will have a certain number of hours they are allowed to work and if they go out of those hours, new crew will have to be found. that's going to have any big impact on the number of people who have been impacted by this. we have seen already that about 10% of flights to and from the uk have been cancelled. i expect that that will actually increase in the next couple of hours as airlines struggle and try to get their head around a logistical nightmare that is trying to get everything back in the right place

at the right time.— everything back in the right place at the right time. have we learned an hint at the right time. have we learned anything more _ at the right time. have we learned anything more about _ at the right time. have we learned anything more about why - at the right time. have we learned anything more about why this i anything more about why this happened in the first place? know. i'll be happened in the first place? know. i'll be have — happened in the first place? know. i'll be have been _ happened in the first place? know. i'll be have been told _ happened in the first place? know. i'll be have been told by _ i'll be have been told by the national air traffic control centres is that this was a technical problem with flights planning our planning flight management, and that is now “p flight management, and that is now up and running again. the impact of that was, and from what i've hearing myself, it was 8:30am this morning and it continued for about four hours, at about lunchtime we saw airlines being told there was potential that this would have serious problems. and we have seen it getting worse and race. airlines across the country at the moment are basically saying do not go to your airport unless you're absolutely sure your flight is going to be taking off. so make sure that you are on top of those apps that the airlines have an even the likes of safe flight radar to double check. no point going to the airport if yourflight is not no point going to the airport if your flight is not taking off. the other challenges that things seem to

be changing minute by minute, don't take? you could be on the way to the airport and suddenly see an alert about yourflight. this airport and suddenly see an alert about your flight. this disruption has affected hundreds of flights to and out of the uk. the effects are far—reaching, aren't they? titer? far-reaching, aren't they? very much so. it's all far-reaching, aren't they? very much s0- it's all very _ far-reaching, aren't they? very much so. it's all very well _ far-reaching, aren't they? very much so. it's all very well and _ far-reaching, aren't they? very much so. it's all very well and good - far-reaching, aren't they? very much so. it's all very well and good to i so. it's all very well and good to say don't turn up at the imprint of yourfight has been say don't turn up at the imprint of your fight has been cancelled, but if you are abroad at the moment and looking to come back home, you may not have anywhere to go. you might have checked out of your hotel, your villa, whatever. in the uk come if you're looking to headway out of the country, make sure you double check before you set up for the airport, but as you say, it is a very fast—moving situation at the moment. i do have sympathy for the airlines. this will be a logistical nightmare. i can't imagine the last time we had an outage for such a length of time, particularly during such a busy time of year and it will take them a long time to try to work out where all the aeroplanes are, where the crew are and how they get things back up and running quickly.

from midnight tonight, the cost of driving anywhere in london will increase — as the whole city becomes the world's largest ultra low emission zone. owners of the most polluting vehicles will have to pay a daily charge of £12.50 for driving in the zone — as tom edwards reports. the ultra low emission zone, or ulez, expands out to cover all of london tonight at midnight. it means your vehicle has to comply with emissions standards or you have to pay £12.50 a day. it will operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, every day of the year, apart from christmas day. the changes have made life difficult at this car dealership in windsor. we are struggling. one, we can't find the stock at the prices we're used to paying. prices are just escalating so fast. and then what we're finding is if we do secure vehicles at a higher cost, that cost, the additional cost gets pushed onto the customer, which they're not happy to pay. so it's not viable.

the principle behind the ultra low emission zone, or ulez, is that the polluter pays and the aim is to get drivers to switch away from older, more—polluting vehicles. broadly, what that means is if you've got a petrol vehicle that was first registered before 2005 or a diesel first registered before 2015, you'll have to pay the £12.50 a day charge. you can check if your vehicle is compliant on the tfl website. city hall says this scheme will bring cleaner air to millions. improving the air is an incredibly important thing for us to be doing and all and any increase in air quality is to be welcomed, because it leads to a corresponding reduction in the number of premature deaths. that's the responsible thing to be doing. but opponents say the nine month lead—in time was too quick and the costs are too high. five councils failed to get it stopped in court, and many councils in the home counties aren't allowing advanced warning signs on their land.

nonetheless, from midnight tonight, the largest pollution charging zone in the world begins. tom edwards, bbc news. live now to sir brian hoskins, founding director and chair of the grantham institute for climate change and the environment. very good to have you joining us. first of all, what is your assessment of the impact that this policy will have, notjust on the air quality around the city, but also the impact, the wider impact on global warming. also the impact, the wider impact on global warming-— global warming. yes, there are two asects. global warming. yes, there are two aspects- the _ global warming. yes, there are two aspects. the major _ global warming. yes, there are two aspects. the major one _ global warming. yes, there are two aspects. the major one here, i global warming. yes, there are two l aspects. the major one here, really, is to deal with the air quality in london. this has been a terrible situation for many years where london's air quality has been way where us then the world health organization standard. the uk government has not done anything

about it for many years and london has started under borisjohnson thinking about doing it. it is a start, really, what's being done here to take the west polluting cars off the road, and that is the aim, not to charge people, but to get them off of the road. that is the start. at the moment, but 4000 people are dying a year in london because of the air quality. many more than that are suffering ill health. so this is a very serious problem, and lie me go back two years ago when there was the smog in london. you can see that. we got the queen air act to clean it up. but you can't see the stuff that's coming out of cars. people don't really appreciate just how damaging it is. really appreciate 'ust how damaging it is. . �* . really appreciate 'ust how damaging it is. ., �* , , �* really appreciate 'ust how damaging it is. ., v , �* it is. that's the thing, isn't it? you can't _ it is. that's the thing, isn't it? you can't necessarily - it is. that's the thing, isn't it? you can't necessarily see i it is. that's the thing, isn't it? you can't necessarily see the l you can't necessarily see the pollution around you, but you can see your bills go up, and many of the people who have a problem with the people who have a problem with the say the costs are just too high.

we just saw someone in the previous report saying that it is unsustainable. what do you make of those who say that this is too costly for them?— those who say that this is too costly for them? well, that's what was said about _ costly for them? well, that's what was said about the _ costly for them? well, that's what was said about the queen - costly for them? well, that's what was said about the queen air i costly for them? well, that's what was said about the queen air act, | costly for them? well, that's what l was said about the queen air act, it was said about the queen air act, it was too costly. so clearly there has to be a transition, and those who can't afford to make that transition have got to be helped to do it. just how this is done is very important. but let's keep our eyes on what the goal is. if we suffer thousand people dying in london on the streets and people say we must do something for that is what we must do. it has got to happen so that we can move on from this and eventually we should be moving to electric vehicles. and actually getting people out of their cars completely, getting them on public transit, walking, cycling. of course, we have

talked about the air quality, in terms of actual global warming and greenhouse gases produced by our transport. uk transports emits as much greenhouse gas now as it did 20 years ago. that's terrible because cars have got a lot more efficient but they've got a lot bigger and there's more cars on the road. we've got to get away from this. it has been very convenient but the love affair with the car has just got to stop. we have to breed. we have to have a climate that we can live in. brand haskins thank you very much for your thoughts. good to have you on the programme. the home office says police chiefs in england and wales have agreed that their officers will pursue all "reasonable lines of inquiry" in an effort to solve more crimes. the government says it wants to make it clear there is "no such thing as a minor crime" with a clampdown focussing on offences such as phone thefts and shoplifting. but, there are concerns the approach

could take resources away from dealing with offences such as rape and domestic abuse — and labour called the policy a staggering admission of 13 years of conservative failure. our home editor mark easton reports. smart doorbells, dash cams, mobile phones and the power of google mean that more crime victims believe they have obtained good evidence to identify the culprit. but there has been rising frustration that officers are not going after offenders and lower—level crime such as shoplifting, vandalism and theft. sirens. now, the home office says it has got agreement from police chiefs that they will pursue all reasonable lines of inquiry if a perpetrator could be apprehended. what that means in practice, that means if there is cctv footage of a burglary, if there is dash—cam footage, if there is gps tracking data of where a phone might be, if a victim of crime has evidence that their vehicle is being resold online, if there is a sight or smell of cannabis in the street, the police will have to follow up

on those leads. since 2015, forces have had to say how many of the offences they record result in someone being charged. back then, it was 16%. but now it is just under 6%. political pressure to improve that number is coming from all sides. i think the key is in the use of the word "reasonable". and what is reasonable for one force won't necessarily be reasonable for another, given the types of crime that they are investigating. and it is absolutely right that the police will always base it on threat, harm and risk. but certainly, in my own force and other forces, i do think there are times when we should be investigating further, and it is absolutely reasonable, and the public and the government are right to expect us to do so. but police chiefs point out there are reasons for the fall in detections. although overall crime is at historically low levels, improved recording of offences means their caseload is rising, and more of the crimes

being reported are complex offences to investigate, notably, rape and abuse cases. on the one hand, this does sound like a no—brainer. anybody who has had their car stolen or their phone stolen wants the police to pursue every line of inquiry. at the same time, we also know, for example, rape and sexual assaults, the prosecution and conviction rates for those are incredibly low. we have a tsunami of male sexual violence towards women and girls as it is. if the police are being told you have just got to put more resources into tackling, say, carand phone crime, that means there is going to be less time and less focus on those really serious violent offences that quite rightly the public are concerned about. so what does "reasonable" mean? that is the question that lies behind today's announcement. some officers might ask if it would be reasonable to downgrade a complex sexual abuse case, to pursue more shoplifters. mark easton, bbc news. new pictures have emerged of the moment a p&o cruise ship, slipped it's moorings,

during a violent storm in the spanish holiday island of mallorca, and collided with a cargo ship. passengers say the cruise ship was being pushed ashore by tugs, when a walkway fell away. p&o says a small number of people, sustained minor injuries. harry farley reports definitely going to smash into us. bracing for the moment of impact. there you, hold up. it is going to hit. thudding, crashing. oh, my god. mooring lines snapped, and the cruise ship floated away like a paper boat, according to one of those on board. it drifted off its berth in the port of palma in mallorca, and collided with a tanker. alarm sounds. alarms sounded, and the ship's crew launched an emergency drill. tannoy: all crew, proceed i to your emergency duty stations. p&o cruises said a small number of passengers had minor injuries and were being treated on board. eventually the britannia was pushed back on to its mooring, and the captain told passengers there was no structural

planes we will screen it there a fine mesh screen to see if we can find any remains in and determine what, if anything, was in your. hopefully that will still yield some results. i must remind you that you can find all our stories on our website, just search bbc news. all our top stories there, we are following that air traffic issue. it has now been fixed but still thousands of delays as airports work to deal with the backlog that was caused by those signalling issues. well, there have been long flight delays, thousands of passengers stuck on planes and at airports. we are following all the latest on that for you here on bbc news. stay with us. hello. many of us had some very potent heavy downpours to endure on saturday and sunday. monday's showers were, generally speaking, lighter in nature. now, tomorrow, there will be some showers once again, and actually, they could be set to turn heavier as this cold front pushes its way

southwards and eastwards. along the line of this weather front, we could see some very heavy downpours, maybe the odd thunderstorm. we'll see some of that heavy thundery rain pushing its way southeast was across scotland overnight. some showery rain, too, into parts of northern ireland and northern england. ahead of that, quite a lot of cloud, but behind it, clear skies developing across much of scotland and northern ireland by dawn — so that means a mostly sunny start here as our band of showers pushes southwards and eastwards across england and wales. the showers tending to ease off for a time, but i think as we head into the afternoon and that showery rain gets down into the southeast corner, it could pep up once again. and at the same time, another band of heavy showers and the odd thunderstorm will push southwards across scotland. temperature—wise, we're looking at values between 15—21 celsius. and then, as we move through tuesday evening, along the line of our cold front, we could see the odd thunderstorm in the southeast corner. our area of low pressure still fairly close by on wednesday,

so there will still be some showers, especially across northern and eastern parts of the uk. further south and west, more in the way of dry weather, some spells of sunshine before our next weather system begins to push in from the west. wednesday's temperatures generally between 15—20, maybe up to 21 degrees. now, as we move into thursday, we will see our next weather system running in from the atlantic — that will bring cloud and outbreaks of rain. there's uncertainty aboutjust how far north this rain may come. particularly it will affect southern parts of england, wales, the midlands, but we could see some rain as parts of northern england and northern ireland, as well. much of scotland looks set to be dry with some spells of sunshine, and temperatures north to south, 14—19, maybe up to 20 celsius for the end of the week, and certainly into the weekend, for the end of the week, and certainly into the weekend, it looks like high pressure will try to build. now, there's a bit of uncertainty about this, about how strongly the high will build, but there certainly are signs that as we move through the end of the week, into the weekend,

we could see some drier weather.

at six, major delays for thousands of air passengers heading to and from the uk due problems with air traffic control. it's meant long queues for travellers hoping to fly in from around the world.

it's the final day of our holiday and we're looking to get back to london heathrow. we were expecting to fly at about 4:30pm. we're now expected to fly at 20 to three tomorrow morning. the government says the police must do more to tackle low—level crimes like burglaries. scotland's covid—19 inquiry opens in edinburgh. relatives of the dead call it a milestone moment. singing. and, a ceremony to mark the return of a precious symbol of canada's indigenous people, nearly a century after being sold to a british museum. hello. thousands of air passengers travelling to and from the uk
