high teens, elsewhere low 20s for scotland and northern ireland, the mid 20s for large parts of england and wales. as we move through the week you can see its days are sunny, dry and warm, very warm across southern areas for a time. showers starting to push into western errors by the end of the week. that is it from the bbc news at six. it is time for the news where you are. goodbye. hello, and welcome to sportsday — i'm gavin ramjaun. as the clock ticks down to football's transfer deadline, attention falls on one of the biggest deals that hasn't happened yet. of the deals that have been made, one of the stars of la liga is making his way to the south coast to brighton. and his new side with a tough draw on their introduction to european football... two of the continent's giants are in their europa league group. we'll have more on today's draws.

another strong showing from lando norris, in practice for this weekend's italian grand prix. but can anyone stop the dominant red bulls from winning? and win or bust for chris eubankjr, as the tension builds ahead of his huge rematch with liam smith in manchester. hello there and welcome along to the programme. and the culmination of transfer deadline day is upon us, as the summer window closes for another year, with spending again into the billions for premier league sides. more on the deals that have been completed in a moment, because the saudi pro league are hot on the chase of another huge name from england that's causing concern for liverpool fans. joe lynsky is here to tell us more.

could mo salah be off? yes, four and half hours left and the headline is a rejected offer that is £150 million that was on the table for liverpool's mo salah. it came from the saudi pro league side al—ittihad. and you would see that that amount of money is a statement offer not only from the saudi pro league club but also you might see a statement rejecting from liverpool. this is a top scorer in premier league history, a modern day icon of this club, a key part of the title winning season in 2020, now in his seventh season with the club. the club. the concern for liverpool fans is that while this is deadline day in england, the saudi pro league transfer deadline isn't till september the 7th, so another few days for them to perhaps regroup with another offer. anfield fans will hope that rejecting an offer of that size, £100 million plus will suggest that he is not for sale at

with ange postecoglou. manchester united are closing in on another source online of a soft amrabat, the bulb in a moroccan midfielder who played every minute of his country's miracle run to the semifinals of the world cup in qatar back in december. he also helped fiorentina to the final of the europa conference league last season. but as it stands, he looks set for old trafford. to fill a position that united know the perhaps they need a bit more reinforcement. and another eye—catching deal, ansu fati, one of the big stars of la liga, and once touted as the future of barcelona arrives, but it's not at one of the traditional bigger clubs. this is a stunning deal to bring a ansu fati on loan, they are nearly flat from that record selling of morris cisco closer daughter chelsea. they are using some of that money to bring in a player who is barcelona's youngest ever goal—scorer come here to a successor to lionel messi, but he is on his way to brighton and hove albion

divok 0rigi. and i will see if there's any pushback on the mo salah dealfrom saudi arabia. several premier league stars and shared teams from across europe have been tempted by the challenge, as patrick grady explains. too good to stop? simulator good to lose. liverpoolare too good to stop? simulator good to lose. liverpool are holding tight to the superstar. but the saudi pro league have tested that group. what's more, they and the club al—ittihad have another week to keep trying for mo salah. the transfer window remains a chart longer over there, another test for football's old world. ~ ., there, another test for football's old world. . . ., , , , old world. whatever happens, obviously. _ old world. whatever happens, obviously, nobody _ old world. whatever happens, obviously, nobody can - old world. whatever happens, obviously, nobody can react . old world. whatever happens, i obviously, nobody can react any more. that is something i think uefa or whoever should have an eye on, the difference between the contract here and the contractor, the big, that causes problems, definitely.

and the other british club in the europa league are, of course, liverpool, who are grouped with lask of austria, the belgian side union st—gilloise, and toulouse. but what a moment for brighton. their first taste of european football in their 122—year history, thanks to that sixth placed finish last season. writing. cheering are drawn to face some giants of european football. phase ajax and marseille in a very strong group, i would say. with athens than join the group, it is amsterdam, the south of france and greece ahead for the travelling seagulls. tbtjax. france and greece ahead for the travelling seagulls.— france and greece ahead for the travelling seagulls. a'ax is 'ust a dream etuh. * travelling seagulls. a'ax is 'ust a dream club, one * travelling seagulls. a'ax is 'ust a dream club, one of“ travelling seagulls. ajax is 'ust a dream club, one of the h travelling seagulls. ajax isjust a dream club, one of the absolute | dream club, one of the absolute icons of european football. marseille a huge club is welcome and athens, i have not been to athens, so looking forward to going to those games. i’iiii

stadium has undergone profound changes over the last three months. they've been hard at it for 13 weeks. since the day after promotion, luton town's kenilworth road has become a building site with one goal — to get ready for their premier league home debut. mohammed lives nearby and says the noise and disruption have been worth it. this is absolutely, you know, they work hard to accommodate to make this possible. it's been wonderful. they've been working like a crazy, day and night. you know, they've done well. nearby houses and their back gardens have received a face—lift, too. they have forever been a part of the charm of this place as fans climb the stairs above to their seats. obviously the distress it's caused for local residents has been paramount. and over the years, it'sjust built up. so this is a fantastic way of the club giving back to those local residents. this is what's been happening inside the ground.

the new bobbers stand — at a cost of £10 million, it now meets premier league requirements along with brand—new floodlights. amazing achievementl by everybody involved. you know, obviously gary. and the board and you know, everyone from the planners, - the people who've done the work, it's amazing what they've achieved in such a short space of time. - it's going to be really special, a really special occasion. - i want everyone to, once they've got in early and had a look around - and seen the new stand, - and then focus on the game and singing and making a lot of noise. it's been a race against time, but luton are finally ready. formula 1 rolls into monza for the italian grand prix this weekend, with red bull the team the ones to stop, having won every race so far this season. ferrari's carlos sainz was fastest in second practice today. he finished ahead of mclaren's lando norris, in second, and the red bull of sergio perez third. max verstappen, the championship leader, topped first practice but was in fifth for p2. he's looking to break the record and win ten races

in a row this weekend, and further increase his already huge lead at the top of the driver's standings, with qualifying tomorrow. we're all set for an explosive rematch in the boxing this weekend, in manchester, and it's all on the line for chris eubankjr, who feels he has to get the better of liam smith in their rematch tomorrow night, orface the end of his career. smith stopped eubank in the fourth round of their middleweight fight after a bitter build—up back injanuary. ade adedoyin was at today's weigh in. all the talking is done, the fighters have weighed in. the next time they see each other will be to settle their differences in the ring. both men looked in great shape on the skills come and panda came off and posed for the shot, neither man wanted to blink first. they had to be separated by one of the promoters. there were a few words exchanged afterwards, but chris chris eubankjunior, this is a huge accretion in his career. surprisingly knocked out in four runs later on. he would be keen to prove that that was a bad night and

the finns comingback to win 2—1. the giants play again tomorrow against tappara tampere. and football's first trial of var at a women's super league stadium will be at chelseas kingsmeadow ground on sunday, for their friendly against roma. it follows a previous trial at the fa cup final. england are in action for the second of their t20 matches against new zealand. they're looking to build on that opening win this week, in the four match series, before it moves to the one—dayers. let's go live to old trafford. jonny bairstow is leading england's attack with the bat, putting his half century. you can catch the action over on bbc right now. 89—2. novak djokovic returns to the arthur ashe court at the us open a bit later on when the men's second seed takes on his serbian compatriot laslo djere in round three. already today in new york, though, the tenth seed

in the women's draw — karolina machova — made it safely through to round four, the czech beating taylor townsend of the usa in straight sets. now let's turn to rugby union. and the defending champion has started well. she took an early lead, and she has since broken twice to take the first set 6—0. now let's turn to rugby union. and with just a week to go before the world cup in france, eddiejones has launched a stinging criticism of england's rugby football union. the former england head coachjones, who's now in charge of australia, says england's poorform is down to the rfu simply not producing enough quality players. england lost to fiji for the first time last saturday — their third defeat in four games. you look at the resorts of england over the last five years. they are not producing quality players. everyone looks at the head cage, but the onus on producing quality

players as the rfu, and that hasn't happened. when you're not bringing talent through, then you don't look at what your talent development system is not doing that. the system is not right. whenever you have talent is not coming through and it was coming through, then what has changed? what needs to change? where is a gap? and that is the responsibility of the rfu, and it is not for me to give them answers. before we go, let's just return to football's transfer deadline, which is rapidly approaching. 11pm tonight in england is when it closes, an hour later in scotland. joe lynskey is with me again. what are we looking out for this evening? we have got the answer twist and turns to come. a lot of the time on the transfer deadline to us, we get deals come from out of the blue in the last hours of the window. just reflecting on things that have happened in the last couple of hours, a big sigh of relief at fulham because it has big confirmed they are going to keep a hold of the portuguese of a job paulinho. he had been subject of an offer from bayern

munich, but they haven't got the paperwork done in time for the 5pm deadline which is in place in the bundesliga for german teams. that does affect liverpool, because they are poised to sign a midfielder from bayern munich, ryan gravenberch, the young dutch midfielder, but never pudsey that is not going to affect and they should still get it over the line for around 40 million euros in hours to come. a couple of goings—on at manchester united. jonny evans, the experienced centre half committee has signed a contract for a one—year deal, and sergio regular is drawing on one as well from tottenham hotspur. both of those who chose to have united with the injury struggles in defence. look shop until a raffia that left back to players that are going to be missing for the next few weeks. we will be following it all on the bbc sport website this evening, gavin. 10pm, the transfer deadline nespresso will be with you for a

full 90 minutes, getting all those last—minute deals over the line. bend last-minute deals over the line. and also keeping — last—minute deals over the line. and also keeping tabs on mo salah as well. that is it from us on sportster. don't forget, full coverage of the closing moments of the transfer window in a special edition of the football news show on the red button, iplayer, and website from 10pm this evening. hello. the weather is changing over the next few days — a change to something drier and warmer, with some spells of sunshine. in fact, a decent weekend in prospect if you have outdoor plans. today, we have seen some areas of cloud, and indeed, some quite sharp showers. this is the satellite picture from earlier on — a stripe of cloud across northern ireland, southern scotland, northern england, and some shower

clouds further south. as showers continuing to ease through the evening, we will continue to see some bits and pieces of clouds and mist and fog patches likely to develop, as well, but also some clear spells. and where we have those clear skies across some parts of highlands, scotland, temperatures could drop down to around 1—2 celsius. it will be milder than that further south. saturday's weather story is one of high pressure, which will be building its way across the uk, chasing this frontal system away eastwards. so some areas of low cloud, a bit of mist and fog around first thing. the chance of 1—2 showers popping up through the day, but they should generally be quite light in nature. most places will stay dry. just a bit more cloud and more of a breeze through the afternoon into the far northwest of scotland. but temperatures up to 21 celsius in aberdeen and in belfast, 24 in london. could just get a little warmer than that across some parts of southeast england. and then, into the evening, most places fine and dry with some late sunshine. but more cloud and some rain

into the far north of scotland, courtesy of this frontal system, which willjust continue to slide its way through during sunday. 0ur area of high pressure centred across the south of the uk. under the centre of the high with light winds, again, some mist and fog patches to start sunday, which should tend to lift and clear to reveal some sunny spells closest to our weather front in the north of scotland, we willjust see more cloud and a bit of rain. but eastern scotland, with some shelter from the breeze, 20—23 celsius. come furthersouth, highs of 25—26, maybe 27 celsius. into next week, high pressure tends to retreat eastwards, low pressure trying to squeeze in from the atlantic, and this arrangement of weather systems will bring us a broadly southerly air flow — and that will introduce some warmer air from the near continent. now, there's some uncertainty about just how warm it will get, but we could well be looking at values into the mid—to—high—20s, possibly close to 30 celsius for some of us. it does look like turning a bit more unsettled by the end of next week.
