to the ryder cup for team europe. the home side won all of the morning's foursomes matches to take a comprehensive 4—0 lead after the opening session in rome. 23—year—old ludvig aberg, who only turned pro injune, was part of a winning pair alongside viktor hovland, whilejon rahm and tyrrel hatton beat the us pair that included the world number one scottie scheffler. rory mcilroy and tommy fleetwood, or fleetwood mac as the fans have dubbed them, came through their match to complete the morning whitewash. it's the first time europe have won the first four matches at the ryder cup. well, the four balls are now drawing towards their climax as well in the afternoon session. europe are up in one match. however, the us are two up in two matches and tied in the second match, that bottom match involving rory mcilroy and matt fitzpatrick is already looking like a point

is heading europe's way, they're six up through ten holes. the usa looking to get some red on the board after that awful start. para—athletes from russia will be allowed to compete at the paralympic games in paris next year, after officials voted against a full ban. the last time russia were allowed to compete under their home country's flag was at the sochi winter games they hosted in 2014. the international paralympic committee will take a second vote on whether those taking part can do the same in paris. russia is currently banned from paralympic competition following the country's invasion of ukraine in 2022. brazilian winger antony will return to training with manchester united, despite allegations of domestic abuse being made against him. antony returned to the uk

from brazil this week and has agreed to speak with greater manchester police about the allegations, which he denies. in a statement united have said while that process continues, he will train and will be available for selection. it's understood antony won't feature for united against crystal palace this weekend, though. managerjurgen klopp says new investment into liverpool is good news for the club. their owner, fenway sports group, announced yesterday it had agreed to sell a minority stake to global sports investment firm dynasty equity. the deal ends the search for new investment by fsg, and klopp says it will help his team through a challenging financial period. we are in a year where we don't play champions league, which we all know is a massive financial blow. we

improved the squad in the summer, which is difficult but possible. but it is good news, it is just good news. it was money which will be well used, let me say it like that. the women's super league season starts in england on sunday, with clubs looking to build momentum after the lionesses run to the world cup final over the summer. but there;s been plenty of focus on the issue of acl injuries in the women's game again this week, with more major players confirming they'll miss much of the season with the issue. birmingham city footballer siobhan wilson is five months into her rehabilitation following the injury. she says there's a climate of fear amongst female players, that they could be next. i personally think as a footballer, it is the worst injury you can get. so to have an injury which keep you out for a long period, we are talking nearly a season, nine

months, especially with the rise of the rate of acl injuries in the game, i am the rate of acl injuries in the game, iam pretty the rate of acl injuries in the game, i am pretty sure everybody is scared of it. it is not an easy thing to deal with. and that's all the sport for now. in the uk — people conceived using donated sperm, eggs or embryos will soon have the right to know the identity of their donors. the new rule applies only to those who turn 18 from this sunday — the 1st of october — onwards. the uk's fertility regulator warns that access to the information won't be quick. this report is from tink llewellyn, who has a very personal connection to the issue. hello, are you ok? i'm good, thank you, you? yeah, good thanks. twins matthew and phoebe have always known they were conceived using a sperm donor. we know he's like a second generation born colombian, his height, his build, eye colour, hair colour.

and that's pretty much everything they told us, really. but next year, when they turn 18, that will all change. ijust think it's really cool that part of us is from a different country. so when we have a conversation at home, he's usually referred to as the colombian guy, orjust... ..orthe dad. there's been many names. i suppose, when they are growing up as well... - for their parents, sean and sarah, it's a date they've always known would come. we decided because the change in law was coming up in 2005, _ that we would wait because it wasn't fair to deny them that opportunity i to find out who our donor was. but not everybody will benefit. donor—conceived people born before the law change

won't have this right. i know, because i'm one of them. oh, i love this picture. this is one of my favourites. this is me when i was little with him. i lost my dad last year, and that's encouraged me to start thinking about my donor family. i all always wanted to find the donor. they've got the list of siblings. i've got 16 altogether, which is bonkers. it is weird because i felt like a half sister. it says there

better. when you are both 18 next year, are you going to apply for more information? yes. what are you hoping to come out from it? just more information? yes. what are you hoping to come out from it?— hoping to come out from it? just to meet him- — hoping to come out from it? just to meet him- he _ hoping to come out from it? just to meet him. he gave _ hoping to come out from it? just to meet him. he gave us— hoping to come out from it? just to meet him. he gave us a _ hoping to come out from it? just to meet him. he gave us a wonderfull meet him. he gave us a wonderful .ift. meet him. he gave us a wonderful gift we've — meet him. he gave us a wonderful gift. we've got two amazing children _ gift. we've got two amazing children. 0ur lives are different as a result_ children. 0ur lives are different as a result of— children. 0ur lives are different as a result of that person's kindness, so it would — a result of that person's kindness, so it would be nice to shake him by the hand _ so it would be nice to shake him by the hand and say thank you. we will be talkin: the hand and say thank you. we will be talking later _ the hand and say thank you. we will be talking later more _ the hand and say thank you. we will be talking later more on _ the hand and say thank you. we will be talking later more on that - the hand and say thank you. we will be talking later more on that story. | be talking later more on that story. i want to take you to the us. the picture on the screen, that is the top us general, he was retiring after a four—year tenure, not so successes such as the killing of the head of isis and helping ukraine,

but the chaotic withdrawal of afghanistan in a very rocky relationship with donald trump, who has so many times posted disparaging things about mark milley. the band in full play, joe biden is there. that is going on, we will return to that. i want take you to capitol hill, show you the pictures in terms of kevin mccarthy, the republican, because he has been speaking in the last few minutes and are still there giving a news conference about the shutdown. at midnight eastern time tomorrow the us government will run out of money to fund itself — unless congress can agree a last—minute deal. if the story sounds familiar — that's because, it is. it would be the 22nd time in the past 50 years that us government services have had to be shut down because of a budget deadlock in congress. we've been looking at the

background. how does a government shutdown? this is what happens. every year congress needs to approve funding for several government agencies. the way it works is there agencies. the way it works is there agencies submit requests, and the president signs budget legislation for the next fiscal year. it sounds straightforward but there is a deadline looming and that is october the 1st. if all of it doesn't happen by then, the government shutdown. typically you can have some sort of temporary agreement between lawmakers, but in today's political climate it becomes complicated. the republican party control the bottom part, and within it there are deep disagreements. a right—wing faction is insisting on serious spending cuts. they are also insisting on an end to the funding of the war in ukraine. this government shutdown

would also have a real impact on everyday americans, millions of federal workers would be forced to go on temporary unpaid leave. it is those who are deemed nonessential in certain federal agencies. and for the first time, because it didn't happen the last few shutdowns, active members of the military would then have to work without pay until then have to work without pay until the shutdown is resolved. there are other areas impacted, food assistance could be delayed, student loans and funding for schools could be interrupted. some of the most beloved national park, its museums and even the national zoo could be close, and all the bed went on for a record 35 days to the last time, between 2018 and 2019. is there any hope? some politicians say yes. the republican house speaker kevin mccarthy says i wake up everyday

optimistic. as for the president, biden says... a concert is taking place in moscow's red square this afternoon — due to start in the next hour — to celebrate the first anniversary of russia's annexation of ukraine's four regions of donetsk, luhansk, kherson and zaporizhzhia. it's a day now official known as the "day of reunification". social media is full of adverts of the alleged concert called 0ne country, one family, one russia. it's thought that president putin is likely to attend. no confirmation of that, ando pictures up to now. live now to kyiv and speak to kateryna malofieieva. she is a freelance journalist from donetsk. thank you so much for being here. why don't we start with you describing to me and our viewers what your friends and family are telling you about live now in this

that in comparison, the people are veryjealous of what is happening. to my question that so many people died when russia decided to take the seat, he said it is very painful but this is the situation.— seat, he said it is very painful but this is the situation. when you hear vladimir putin — this is the situation. when you hear vladimir putin talking _ this is the situation. when you hear vladimir putin talking about - this is the situation. when you hear vladimir putin talking about people j vladimir putin talking about people choosing this historic motherland and celebrating like they are today and celebrating like they are today and you hear other commentators around the world perhaps suggesting ukraine could cede the peace by giving away territory. what do you think about those things? it is ossible think about those things? it is possible and _ think about those things? it 3 possible and there are people who would be supportive for russian occupation. like everywhere in the world, there are people who tend to believe propaganda, people with different views. what happens with russia... sorry, russia next year

illegally. no one recognised this annexation. ukraine has a full rights to restore this area and hold this territory occupied by russia and restore the territory. and also this is different situation in newly occupied territories. there are constant shelling is, permanent situation of instability and security. these areas, they are forced to take russian passport in order to get any pension, any means for survival. they cannot get access to ukrainian pension. they are

about to say is baffling but when i was younger, trust me, it wasn't cool to be african. every series of the podcast we provide as creative a sound bed as possible, stories relating to black liberation, music and culture. as you can see, george is here. it sounds fantastic. start me by telling me more about the podcast. this is the fourth series of the podcast. we are talking about african independence, the caribbean independence movement and looking at the fantastic characters from history who don't get recognised. it is interesting, the different places. the first episode is drama in ghana. why did you pick ghana? it

story this weekend. one side of the story is some unseasonable warmth. we may see temperatures as high as 2a celsius. but there will also be some rain at times. 0n the satellite picture, you can see this area of cloud. this is a weather system that will push in from the southwest to bring rain for some of us during tomorrow. in the short term, though, actually quite a lot of sunshine out there. some showers, too, especially in western parts and most especially in the northwest of scotland where some of those showers will continue to be heavy, quite windy here through the afternoon. feeling quite fresh as well, 13 to 20 degrees, pleasant in any sunshine. and then through tonight, most of the showers will fade, will keep some going across the northern isles. but elsewhere, aside from a few mist patches, some largely clear skies overhead. that will allow it to get relatively chilly, not desperately cold for a late september night, but many spots will get down into single digits. but thanks to this ridge of high pressure, it's going to be a mainly fine start to saturday. however, this frontal system will be approaching from the west. initially that will throw some high cloud across the sky,

turning the sunshine quite hazy. and then the cloud will thicken out towards the west, with outbreaks of heavy rain pushing across northern ireland into western and northern parts of wales, the isle of man, northwest england into southern and central parts of scotland. it will turn relatively windy too for some of these irish sea coasts. temperatures 12 degrees in lerwick, 20 degrees in london. now, as we move through saturday night, this weather system willjust continue to wriggle around. there'll be some quite heavy bursts of rain, i think, across central parts of the uk. as this weather system continues to advance, it will draw in some really quite humid air as we head into sunday, a very warm, quite muggy start to sunday across southern parts. it will be quite misty and murky, too, for some of these western and southern coasts. we could well see some showery rain at times across central and southern parts of england and wales, sunshine and showers across northern ireland and scotland. but down towards the southeast with that humid air,

we could well see temperatures up to 23 or 2a degrees. through next week, quite a mixed affair. there will continue to be some rain at times. it will be quite breezy, but it may turn warm again towards the end of the week, especially in the south.
