the ryder cup get�*s under way on friday in rome, it will be the first tournament since the start of the breakway liv golf series. brook koepka is the only rebel golfer taking part on the us team, europe made the decision to exclude liv golfers, so no ryder cup legends sergio garcia, lee westwood and ian poulter. it's certainly a little strange not having them around but i think this week of all weeks, it's going to hit home with them that they're not here and i think they are going to miss being here more than we are missing them. i think this week is a realisation that the decision that they made has led to not being part of this week and that's tough and the landscape in golf is ever—changing and more dynamic and we will see what's happening and whether they will be a part of it in

the future. i always fought leading up the future. i always fought leading up to this week is when it's going to hit home that they are not going to hit home that they are not going to be here. mcilroy was speaking earlier on wednesday, there's been an all star celebrity match taking place as well. novak djokovic traded in his tennis racket to take his opening tee shot, while gareth bale, wales�* all time record goal—scorer, and a five—time champions league winner was also taking part and they were both on the winning side playing for colin montgomerie, the american corey pavin captained the other team. ajax and feyenoord have completed the match that was abandoned on sunday because of crowd trouble. trailing 3—0, ajax's fans forced the game to be stopped after throwing flares, vandalising their own stadium and clashing with police. three days on, they resumed with the clock on 55 minutes behind closed doors. it didn't take long for feyenoord to stretch their lead. santiago gimenez, who scored twice on sunday, completing his hatrick four

the case is due to go to trial next week, but the judge has already ruled on part of it, and determined that the former president repeatedly lied about his financial affairs. in a post on his social media platform truth social, donald trump called the judge deranged and said the claim he committed fraud was both ridiculous and untrue. it was, he said, another attempt by his opponents to try to prevent him from winning the next presidential election. the new york ruling means some of the trump organisation's licences to operate will be cancelled. the civil case is in addition to the four major criminal trials donald trump is facing. while some opinion polls now show him edging in front ofjoe biden in the race to regain the white house. when you are encouraging someone to

good afternoon. this was the calm before the storm because agnes is well and truly bearing down across the united kingdom and ireland. the signature swell of cloud around that deepened area of low pressure, which is not only bringing heavy rain, but gale force, if not severe gale force winds, as it tracks its way north and east. this is where we expect the potentially destructive winds with gusts up to 50 mph inland — enough to bring down some power lines and the odd tree. in extremities, we could see gusts of 70 or 75 mph over coastal areas and the hills. that, combined with the heavy rain, particularly for scotland and northern ireland, giving some disruption and hazardous conditions. away from southern and eastern areas it is a tale of two seasons today. it will feel quite summer—like i should imagine, and warm in the south and east, but wetter weather further north and west, with heavy showers across western parts of england, and wales. 22 or 23 celsius in the sunshine.

staying largely fine and dry in 0rkney and shetland, but then this evening the rain and wind picks up across scotland. so a warm or milder night than last night with so much wind and cloud around. and still quite a bit of cloud tomorrow morning but it should lift and clear, and we will see some sunshine materialising. quite a lot of dry weather for central and eastern parts but another weather front is moving in from the west. giving some sunshine, although not as warm as today, we will still reach the high teens, and possibly 20 across the south—east. still feeling pleasant. but then the weather fronts converge during the evening and overnight with heavy, thundery showers and brisk winds around those showers across southern areas. by friday morning it finally clears away, leaving sunny spells and showers

in scotland and northern ireland, but a good deal of dry and bright weather on friday to end the working week. as we move into the weekend, more wet weather on the way. it is all about storm agnes at the moment. more detail on the website, including the weather warnings, but do take care with those gales and heavy rain.
