the clock is ticking in england and spain on transfer deadline day — just two and a half hours to go until it shuts — whilst the window has already closed in germany and italy. and with the deadline looming, will manchester united be feeling the pressure? they're trying to get a loan deal over the line for fiorentina's sofyan amrabat. it's been a busy day for united, who've already signed sergio reguilon, jonny evans and goalkeeper altay bayindir on friday. it's been a busy day too at nottingham forest with three signings confirmed, including nicolas dominguez from bologna. forest still hoping for a couple more too, including ibrahim sangare from psv eindhoven. but to fund their business, they've had to sell one of their stars. brennanjohnson looks as though he's heading to tottenham after they agreed to pay a fee in excess of £45 million for the forward. tottenham had also been interested

in ansu fati, but he has instead chosen brighton, joining on loan from barcelona. the deal does not include an obligation to buy. in italy, inter milan have completed the signing of midfielder davy klaassen on a permanent deal from ajax. whilst in france, ligue 2 side amiens have signed england striker andy carroll on a free transfer. carroll has played in the premier league for newcastle, liverpool and west ham. joao palhinha is going nowhere, though. his move from fulham to bayern munich has collapsed after fuham failed to bring anybody in to replace him before the german window shut. and mohammed salah is staying put too for now. liverpool have rejected a £150 million offerfor him from saudi pro league side al—ittihad. liverpool insisting that salah is not for sale. but managerjurgen klopp admits he is concerned by the business

saudi clubs are able to do, and their transfer window is open for another week. i don't know how sustainable it is or how long it will stay like that, i don't know all these kinds of things, but i think the next two weeks will show how much of a challenge it is, because whatever happens there, obviously nobody can react any more. the saudi window closes later in september. so, plenty of action happening off the pitch, and there's a fair amount happening on it too with matches in spain, germany and france tonight. and in the premier league, a moment of history as newly—promoted luton are playing their first home match in england's top division. they're up against west ham. goal is there with just over half an hour played. —— goalless. at the us open, the three—time champion novak djokovic is in action later — he's up against serbia's laslo djere in the third round. the women's world number one iga swiatek is already into the last 16,

and in some style too. she beat the world number 145 kaja juvan in just 50 minutes, winning 6—0, 6—1. jonny bairstow has been at his brilliant best for england as his side aim to go 2—0 up in the four—match t20 series against new zealand. he hit an unbeaten 86 off 60 balls as england set their opponents 199 to win at old trafford in manchester. in response, new zealand 75—5. today was a rare day in the formula i calendar as there was a session where max verstappen didn't end it top of the standings. instead, that honour fell to ferrari's carlos sainz, who set the quickest time in second practice ahead of sunday's italian grand prix. verstappen was only fifth quickest during p2, although did set the fastest time in the first session earlier in the day. more on that on the bbc sport website.

and that's all the sport for now. super typhoon saola has crashed into hong kong and mainland china bringing with it hurricane—force winds and heavy rain. the city has issued its highest storm alert — number ten. these are the latest pictures from hong kong. you can see the powerful winds sweeping the rain sideways. the hong kong observatory is warning of winds which mean speeds of 118 kilometres an hour, with the typhoon�*s eyewall posing what it calls a high threat. in the nearby chinese city of shenzhen, emergency shelters have been opening. hundreds of thousands of people have been evacuated from their homes and hundreds of flights have been cancelled. and here it is seen from space, on the left of the screen, with another, smaller typhoon, to the right. we've been talking to some residents in discovery bay in hong kong. they told us more about their experience there. the government told us already

yesterday that it will be a day off. all the schools are closed, stock exchange closed, all the businesses are closed. it is the closest typhoon we've had in the past 20 years. it's meant to be passing us by at midnight at about a0 kilometres from here. we've got behind, i don't know whether you can see it, we've got bucketfuls of water passing by. we've got literally leaking windows from the terrace, broken trees, etc. chairs flying. actually, our chairs from the terrace just flew away, just literally two minutes before we came online. so it has been pretty bad. the pictures that i sent were from the main entrance to our block. we had actuallyjust a couple of hours ago a couple of trees falling down, cutting off the access to our residential area.

but we have had a very good response from the emergency and the fire department. they came literally within maybe 15—20 minutes, and they cut through and they cut through the emergency access for any ambulances orjust in case, touch wood, nothing happens. but we are still three hours away from midnight, when the typhoon is meant to be passing us by. so we are literally... i don't think it is going to be a night where we will sleep through. it is a sleepless night ahead of us. it looks like difficult times for those resident in hong kong. our weather presenter sarah keith—lucas explains more about what people in hong kong can expect over the coming hours. we are currently in the peak of typhoon season in the west pacific. there's two strong typhoons at the moment — haikui, which is approaching close to taiwan, and the system here, this is super typhoon saola with its well—defined eye, showing that it is a

particularly strong storm. it's been gusting over 175 kph, producing heavy rain as well as those damaging winds. now, over the next few days, this storm system will push its way just gradually westwards, close to the south coast of china. whether or not it makes a direct landfall is still to be seen, but nonetheless, it brings the really heavy rain particularly close to hong kong. as well as heavy rain, we could see the sea level rise by about three metres across coastal parts of hong kong. so certainly coastal inundation possible. it then moves its way towards this peninsula as we move into next week. so this storm system, saola, will bring some flooding rainfall and that potential storm surge and damaging winds. as it clears away then, our attention turns to the next typhoon, haikui, which will bring some very wet and windy weather to taiwan by monday. police in south africa so they have shot and killed 18 people in the

north west and limpopo province. these pictures from the senior officers near a cordoned off area wearing protective suits. police say the killed the men when they were planning to rob a cash truck. to south africa now, and rescue teams have spent the day searching through the gutted remains of a johannesburg apartment block after a fire on thursday. the blaze in the overcrowded and condemned five—storey building claimed 7a lives, including 12 children. the cause of the fire is still unknown, but forensic investigators are also at the site, picking through the charred remains of the burnt—out building. it had been "hijacked", a term used in south africa for a building that has been taken over by squatters and undocumented immigrants. it's been described as one of the worst fire incidents in the city's recent history. our correspondent shingai nyoka

is following the story for us. she explained the process that is under way to find out who the victims were. today, we went to some of the morgues and some of the hospitals around johannesburg, and we met many, many families that are said that they had throughout the course of the day been going from mog to mog trying to find their relatives. we went to one particular facility in soweto and found a young man there who said that after going through all of these places in search of his two sisters, he finally found one of his sisters in the morgue but was unable to find the morgue but was unable to find the other one, so he was still going to continue searching for her. but what he said that stuck with me is that he didn't know how he was going to tell his parents. a lot of the people that were killed in this fire were undocumented migrants. this particular gentleman that we were with was from malawi. and what we

heard from authorities is that even though families are coming forward to identify their relatives, because of the fact that they are undocumented migrants, many are choosing to stay away because they are afraid of being arrested. we also heard about the young man who was in hospital but had fled because he is also undocumented. so it adds another layer to the tragedy, the sorrow and the morning that so many people are in tonight. am the uk, a tiktok influencer and her mother have been jailed for life for the murder of two men who died after their car was rammed off the road following a high—speed chase. mahek bukhari and her mother, ansreen, were found guilty of killing hashim ijazuddin and saqib hussain in february last year. it happened after mr hussain had threatened to expose an affair with ansreen bukhari. our midlands correspondent, navteonhal, reports. mother and daughter, best friends...

who are you? who are we? ..and murderers. mahek bukhari wanted to be known as a tiktok influencer. but along with her mother, ansreen bukhari, she is now notorious. the pair were convicted last month of killing 21—year—old saqib hussain and hashim ijazuddin. ansreen bukhari had been in a three—year—long affair with saqib hussain. when it broke down, he threatened to expose the relationship to the 46—year—old's husband and son by sending them sexually explicit videos of bukhari. that was when she and her daughter hatched a plot, with the help of others, to seize saqib hussain�*s phone containing the material in a meeting at this tesco car park in leicester in february last year. but the meeting turned into a fatal car chase, when saqib and his friend hashim ijazuddin were killed after their friend was rammed off the road. this football tournament was organised in memory of hashim recently, near his home in oxfordshire. at leicester crown court, the defendants found guilty of

murder were landed life sentences. mahek bukhari was given a minimum term of 31 years and eight months, her mother was ordered to serve at least 26 years and nine months. rekan karwa, on the left, was jailed for 26 years and ten months, and raees jamal, also serving a rape sentence, was sentenced to 36 years. sanaf gulamustafa, natasha akhtr and ameerjamal were found guilty of manslaughter and sentenced to 1a years and nine months, 11 years and eight months, and 1a years and eight months, respectively. all of the defendants had the time they spent on remand deducted from their sentences. while she waited for a verdict last month, mahek bukhari appeared relaxed, playing board games at court, and even waving and laughing at reporters outside hours before she was found guilty. but she spent much of her time this morning in the dock in tears, as the families of her victims described her and the other killers as vile humans and asked them, "was it worth it?" navteonhal, bbc news, leicester.

x in. he wants to make this a super app, x in. he wants to make this a super app, he has decided social media is not enough for him, he wants to make it a job search website and platform, which is why he is looking for that employment history and education history. also, he wants to make it something like a payment platform as well, which is why he is so keen on verified identities, because obviously that comes with a lot of issues around making sure that person who is claiming to make payment is actually the person behind the whole profile. 50 payment is actually the person behind the whole profile. so we can behind the whole profile. so we can be negative — behind the whole profile. so we can be negative about _ behind the whole profile. so we can be negative about this, _ behind the whole profile. so we can be negative about this, but - be negative about this, but actually, this could be a good thing. obviously i same we are often negative about x, but people could getjobs negative about x, but people could get jobs this negative about x, but people could getjobs this way? the? negative about x, but people could get jobs this way?— get “obs this way? they could, and it get jobs this way? they could, and it is worth pointing _ get jobs this way? they could, and it is worth pointing out _ get jobs this way? they could, and it is worth pointing out that - get jobs this way? they could, and it is worth pointing out that there i it is worth pointing out that there are alternatives out there, linkedin is seen as a good thing. but in many areas, including in the world of media and journalism, twitter or x is often seen as a kind of key networking point. it is one of the reasons why elon musk spent $41;

billion on this platform back in october 2022, billion on this platform back in october2022, because billion on this platform back in october 2022, because he saw it as a de facto public square, it is where a good number of users, round about 258 million to 300 million logon a and conversed. there are these connections that are happening, but i think there are challenges which is of how elon musk�*s reputation does go before him a little bit. and the challenges he has had with the platform to date where people may be a little bit circumspect about handing over quite such private data to elon musk, just because frankly the press would suggest he might do something silly with them. so is this all an altruistic _ something silly with them. so is this all an altruistic mission? . something silly with them. so is this all an altruistic mission? 0r this all an altruistic mission? or is this a grab for more of our personal data and information, do you think? i personal data and information, do ou think? ~ , , ., , you think? i think it is probably the latter- _ you think? i think it is probably the latter. it _ you think? i think it is probably the latter. it is _ you think? i think it is probably the latter. it is worth _ you think? i think it is probably the latter. it is worth bearing l you think? i think it is probably| the latter. it is worth bearing in mind the broader cultural conduct, we are less than a year into the chatgpt revolution overhauling all of our society, and elon musk has

previously railed against ai tools being willing to dip into twitter�*s feeds to train their large language models, and i think that there is an element here where maybe preserving the right to use all that data to tap into that public square conversation to then maybe train his own large language model, or perhaps to sell it to someone else. find own large language model, or perhaps to sell it to someone else.— to sell it to someone else. and how much is this — to sell it to someone else. and how much is this a _ to sell it to someone else. and how much is this a trend _ to sell it to someone else. and how much is this a trend with _ to sell it to someone else. and how much is this a trend with other - much is this a trend with other social networking sites? i should say, presumably, you have to agree to give up this information in the first place?— to give up this information in the first lace? , ., , ., ., first place? yes, that is one of the im ortant first place? yes, that is one of the important things. _ first place? yes, that is one of the important things. as _ first place? yes, that is one of the important things. as you - first place? yes, that is one of the important things. as you sign - first place? yes, that is one of the important things. as you sign up l first place? yes, that is one of the| important things. as you sign up to x premium, you agree to terms and conditions, we don't read those, but it is worth doing because you never know what you are actually signing up know what you are actually signing up to, you need to read the fine print of the contract. but you are right, this brought a move towards this where lots of platforms are starting to recognise the power of their data, in large part because of that al revolution and they are really starting to lock that down, or in fact capitalise on it themselves in a way that will make sense for them in the long run.

ultimately, chatgpt changed ultimately, chatg pt changed everything, ultimately, chatgpt changed everything, and ai promises to overhaul things, so i think people are trying to make sure that they secure this in comparison to others and big competitors out there. this is one question _ and big competitors out there. this is one question many might have, you sign up for it, you agree to give that data, then you change your mind, what sort of rights do users have? ., ., , ., ~ mind, what sort of rights do users have? ., ., , ., 4' ., have? not a huge number. you kind of can wind that — have? not a huge number. you kind of can wind that back— have? not a huge number. you kind of can wind that back a _ have? not a huge number. you kind of can wind that back a little _ have? not a huge number. you kind of can wind that back a little bit, - can wind that back a little bit, there are european union and through there are european union and through the uk, which has inherited the general data protection rules that are commonplace across europe, the ability to have the right to be forgotten. you can ask an organisation for all the data it holds on you to delete it. similar rules exist but are less powerful in the united states and elsewhere. ultimately, you do have to bear in mind that even if the organisation that holds data, it doesn't allow all the other organisations that may have bought that data to do this. that is kind of the original sin, i

shared e—scooters. these are privately owned scooters, and as a matter of fact, our industry is the most regulated industry because we have slow speed systems, 600 different places in paris. the speed limit is capped to 20 kilometres per hour, whereas for privately owned it is 25 and sometimes even more. we provide lots of in app features to make sure that people are aware that they should behave responsibly and that they need to wear a helmet, that they need to wear a helmet, that we provide for free on our vehicles, for example. so this is something that we are really aiming for, but there is nonetheless this image that stays from 2018 2019 where it was quite chaotic in the streets, and we suffer from that image. d0 streets, and we suffer from that imaue. ,, streets, and we suffer from that imaue. i. ., streets, and we suffer from that imaue. ., , ., image. do you that people need to learn more — image. do you that people need to learn more about _ image. do you that people need to learn more about how _ image. do you that people need to learn more about how to _ image. do you that people need to learn more about how to ride - image. do you that people need to j learn more about how to ride them responsibly? of course, it is not just those riding them, it is the people in the other vehicles around them on the road.—

in france, it is lyon, they have launched a tender a few months ago that we won and it is a four—year contract which is a first in france. in the uk, we havejust won one of the biggest tenders of the year with bristol and bath, that is 4000 e—scooters, and thousands of new bikes. so you can see the trend is more about making sure that carbon free, new means of transport and shared with ability to be taken up in cities, instead of regulating these means of transport, instead of banning them. in that instance, paris is more an exception vis—a—vis the global trend. than paris is more an exception vis-a-vis the global trend.— the global trend. an exception, you see, but the global trend. an exception, you see. but why _ the global trend. an exception, you see. but why do _ the global trend. an exception, you see, but why do you _ the global trend. an exception, you see, but why do you think - the global trend. an exception, you see, but why do you think electric. see, but why do you think electric scooters, e—scooters are so divisive? some people love them, some people can't stand them. that is a aood some people can't stand them. trust is a good question. ajournalist asked the same question in the beginning of the 20th century about bicycles. and the person who was asked said, "yes, but we should ban

these bikes from our streets." i think it is because scooters are a new means of transport, also because it was so successful, there were tonnes about them, it was and regulated at first so there was some friction of course. i think it is our responsibility, along with our users and with public authorities to make sure that we get a peaceful use of carbon free means of transport, that should include e—scooters. because people stop using their cars, 20% of our users stop using their cars when they used our scooters. so we contribute to a strong environmental aspect in that sense. ., ., . ., sense. 0k, erwann le page, director of ublic sense. 0k, erwann le page, director of public policy _ sense. 0k, erwann le page, director of public policy for _ sense. 0k, erwann le page, director of public policy for western - sense. 0k, erwann le page, director of public policy for western europe l of public policy for western europe for tier, thank you very much for sharing your thoughts on that story. before we go, very quickly, let's go to australia which is introduced a ban on thick plastic shopping bags and mass balloon releases to cut down on single—use plastics. authorities in three states are also

outlawing a range of products from cotton bud sticks the polystyrene packaging. conservationists say in the last five years, australia has become a world leader in banning single—use plastics. scientists say more than 171 trillion pieces of plastic are estimated to be floating in the world's oceans, and that number could nearly triple by 2040. on that note, we close this hour on the context, but do stay with us. 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.

our 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.

hello, i'm rajini vaidayanathan. you're watching the context on bbc news. the proud boys have been a known hate group for so long as i can remember. you have not seen as many demonstrations or really heard their name come up much untilformer president trump took office. they themselves as individuals are victims of disinformation, but they're also perpetrators, constantly spreading the big lie, for example, that donald trump won the last election.

where's donald trump in all of this? he stood on the ellipse, basically told people, i 74 million of his followers, "the election's stolen, - go to the capitol, fight like hell or you won't l have a country any more." some people listened to him. coming up in the next hour... as some members of the far right proud boys group are sentenced in the us for their part in the january 6th capitol riots, we take a closer look at the organisation and its origins. on our panel tonight: justine greening, former education secretary here in the uk. and from oakland, california, amanda renteria, former political director for the clinton 2016 campaign. also in our programme, and staying in america, a judge says donald trump's trial in georgia will be livestreamed and televised. could it be the most watched event of 2024 election year?
