hello, and thanks for joining us on sportsday. only one place to start and that's the champions league where there were plenty of tasty ties to tuck into. none more so than in munich, where two of the biggest and most successful european clubs went head—to—head in their opening match of this year's competition. it was raining goals in germany — bayern beating bayern beating man united, 4—3. the bundesliga side looked to be cruising after goals from leroy sane and serge gnabry. united pulled one back before harry kane added a third from the penalty spot for bayern. it was a frantic ending — three goals in the last 7 minutes, as casemiro brace for united, sandwiched by a mathis tel goal for bayern. but munich 4—3 winners. late drama, although significantly fewer goals for another european giant, real madrid leaving it very late indeed.

jude bellingham scoring in the 94th minute to give them a 1—0 victory over champions league debutants union berlin at the bernabeu. that's 6 goals in 6 games now for bellingham since joining in the summer. translation: i think jude bellingham has. very important quality. it seems he is also lucky. the goal is similar to the one he scored against a rebound and it was he was there not somebody else. so he arrived there from the second died almost every time and when he gets there he is more ready than other players. he has this extraordinary quality and he sees it. meanwhile, arsenal returned to the champions league in style. they started their first campaign at europe's top table since 2017 with an impressive 4—0 win over psv eindhoven. bukayo saka, leandro trossard, gabrieljesus and martin odegaard all on the scoresheet on a very comfortable night for the gunners in north london.

last year's beaten finalists inter milan needed a late equaliser to get a draw at real sociedad. world cup winner, lautaro martinez scoring in the 87th minute in spain. so a quick look at the other matches: united are bottom of their group after galatasaray and copenhagen played out a 2—2 draw, while serie a winners napoli needed an 88th—minute goal to win at braga in portugal. all the scores over on the bbc sport website. elsewhere, the spanish football federation has sacked its general secretary andreu camps and apologised for what happened after the women's world cup final. the federation says it had "accelerated" the "profound changes" promised to players. earlier, the team returned to training, ahead of the inaugural nations league tournament where they will face sweden in gothenburg on friday before playing switzerland in cordoba on tuesday. most of spain's world cup—winning players ended their boycott of the women's national team after the government intervened to help shape an agreement for immediate structural changes at the country's football federation.

as you can see from what they said there is still discontent there. this was not unanimous. it was close to unanimous, if you take into account there were 21 players who seemed to accept the terms. for those two players — first of all we were told by the government actually that they were not in the right frame of mind to go and play against sweden. but then we have heard a little more about it. they actually had reservations in terms of the negotiations and what had been agreed. so it clearly goes beyond just their state of mind for this particular game. and they still have misgivings about what is going on in the federation. i suppose the question now is how fast and how far these changes go and whether the other players, the other 21 players who have agreed to go to sweden, whether they will be satisfied in the coming

days and coming weeks with the actions that the federation takes regarding these negotiations. the rugby world cup is back after their mini mid—week break and there was a cracker in nice as italy turned around a 10 a 10—point half—time deficit to see off uruguay — 38 points to 17. italy knew they'd go to the top of pool a with a bonus point win. it wasn't easy at first, uruguay lead 17—7 at the break los tecos with 2 well—worked tries, the second coming from nicolas freitas. they were powerless though to stop italy's second—half onslaught. 31 unanswered points for the european side! 38—17 the final score to italy. next up for them — it's the all blacks. without a doubt, the pick of the matches at the world cup this weekend: a tantalising tie between the world's top two sides — number—one ranked ireland, the six nations grand slam winners taking on the defending champions south africa in paris on saturday night. the winner in line to top pool b. we have built up nicely through romania and tonga. we have got some — ironed out a few things in our attack

and same defensively. we were tested a lot more against tonga. i think we knew this would be the pivotal game. you guys are writing, media and supporters and press are speculating about what they might bring. we are confident and trusting what we have been doing. notjust recently but in the last 1.5 — two years and this is what we have been building towards. hopefully we will see plenty of that on saturday as well. there's a lot at stake in lyon on sunday. wales can reach the quarterfinals with a game to spare. if they beat australia and that would leave the wallabies on the brink of their first ever pool stage exit at the world cup after defeat to fiji last week. wales though concentrating on themselves. we have just got to prepare well. confidence for me comes from the work you do in the week. we need to prepare well this week. that is where we will get our confidence from. we respect australia as a rugby nation. they are a wounded animal.

they can be dangerous but i think for us we are very clear that we want to go and win the game and we need to train appropriately and we need to go out and do the job and focus on ourselves. there's an absolute feast of golf coming up, the ryder cup tees off next week in rome, before that the solheim cup in southern spain, that starts this friday. the european team are looking to win the contest for the third time in a row, something they've never done before. and as jane dougall reports, it is europe that go in slight favourites over the americans. the back—to—back winners at the moment gleneagles on 2019 and ohio in 2021, and now they are on home soil here in andalusia. so even the americans are saying that europe other ——are the favourites for this one. if you take look at their line—up, five of the world's

top 20 are in the european team and they include a and england's tully carl. in fact, the captain says her biggest headache was choosing which of her great players she was going to play on the first day and who she is going to pair with whom. a little earlier, we heard from england's georges hall and she said the players have been already bonding very well together. we have a really great team i think we get on really well and there is lots of similar personalities. a lot of us have played in this before and i think, for the rookies, they are really enjoying it and it isjust a great atmosphere within the team room and obviously our captain, suzanne, in practice rounds blaring music really loud and she isjust having a ball as well. it is a great environment to be in and i'm just having a lot of fun. great to hear, isn't it? the usa on the other hand have five rookies in their side and their most experienced player lexi thompson has just had the worst season of her career.

add to that, danielle kang's golf clubs did not turn up in spain along with her and after some appealing on social media help from the airlines they did arrive but only last night. the captain stacy lewis's dad had to go to the airport to pick them up. a few problems for the usa. as for the course itself, it is very beautiful but as you can imagine it is incredibly challenging. it is one of the longest quarters in europe and a lot of the players have commented on how hilly of the players have commented on how hilly it is, so it is going to be hard work for them physically. it is also going to be pretty windy over this weekend, because it is just inland from the sea. so you can accept some tough but exciting golf and also some feisty competition between these two rivals. great britain's emma raducanu says she will make her return to tennis next season after struggling with injuries. the 2021 us open winner has missed three of the four grand slams this season after undergoing surgery on her ankle and both wrists in may. on monday raducanu dropped outside of the world's top 200 and she will not return to tennis before the season—ending wta finals in november. the fact that they are still

talking about me even though i'm not at these events or not about is a compliment. one thing someone told me is worry when they are not talking about you. so, yes, next season i will be back. this season all the slams were finished. it was difficult to watch them go by, but i was just trying to stay in my lane as much as possible and keep focused on my recovery and my path back. simone biles will compete for her 20th world title at the upcoming gymnastics world championships in antwerp. the a—time olympic champion won the all—around women's final at the us selection event to top qualification. in august, she made a return to competition following a 2—year hiatus to work on her mental health. the 26—year—old will now become the first woman to represent team usa at six artistic world championships. that is all your time for now. from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport

centre, goodbye. hello, there. wednesday was a wet and a windy day starting off across north—west wales, capel curig, where we had gusts of wind of 70 miles an hour. it was here where we also saw some very heavy rain. over the space of 36 hours, 133 millimetres fell — a good chunk of the september average. and so far this month, we've actually had 226 millimetres of rain, so it has already been a wetter september than average. and, of course, there's more of september just around the corner. the same area of low pressure that brought all of us wet and windy weather conditions stays to the north of the uk over the next couple of days, and certainly windy at the moment with rain in scotland.

another rain band slowly pulling away from east anglia and south—east england. what follows essentially for england and wales is a day of sunny spells and showers. however, that low pressure will continue to bring strong winds to scotland and to northern ireland. and, in fact, it's notjust windy, this band of rain will push its way southwards, so the rain does return to the central lowlands and to northern ireland after a sunny start. for england and wales, those showers really get going into the afternoon, and i think across parts of wales and south—west england, some of the showers will merge together to give some really intense downpours. it could be pretty prolonged, as well. temperatures quite close to average, really — about 15 to 19 degrees celsius. 0n into friday, it's the same story. the low pressure is still there for northern scotland. these strong north—westerly winds bringing frequent showers to the north and western side of the uk, but into the afternoon there'll be showers popping up in the east, as well. some of them could be heavy — again, with the odd rumble of thunder — and the temperatures not really changing too much, about 15 to 18 degrees celsius. feeling cool in the north, given those strong winds. now, heading into saturday, another change

— we'll get a ridge of high pressure building in ahead of this next weather system. what all this means is that saturday, actually, is going to be an ok day. 0k, there'll be a few showers for northern scotland, but most of us will have a fine and sunny morning. make the most of that because cloud will tend to build in, and certainly into the afternoon we'll start to see some rain arriving in northern ireland, and perhaps fringe into western scotland, but that is towards the end of the day and, overall, saturday's looking 0k. by sunday, well, the low pressure in the atlanticjust nudges a bit closer, we've got another band of rain moving into the west, and so it does turn quite windy and increasingly unsettled with rain and showers around, and that's probably going to stay with us, as well, into the early part of next week.

live from new york, this is a bbc news special from the un general assembly. after a year of extreme weather, combating climate change takes centre stage at the united nation general assembly. ukraine's leader lashes out at the un security council, saying the body needs to broaden its memberhsip. plus, after three decades of conflict, azerbaijan declares victory in nagorno—karabakh.

if hello, i'm sumi somaskanda, outside the un headquarters in new york, where world leaders endured criticism from ukraine's president accusing them of moving too slowly to confront russia. but first, to the fight against climate change. as the un focuses on urgently addressing a warming planet, the uk's prime minister generated his own headlines back home, announcing plans to roll back some of his government's environmental targets. speaking at downing street, rishi sunak announced that a ban on the sale of petrol and diesel cars will be introduced in 2035, instead of 2030. the scrapping of gas boilers, to be replaced by heat pumps, will also be delayed until 2035. but the prime minister says he remains committed to reaching net zero by 2050, meaning the uk would no longer add to the total amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. so i'm interested in the right long—term thing for the country and actually bringing people along with me

and minimising those costs on families. and that's why i think what we're announcing today —
