6:37 pm
world football governing body fifa said, "we mourn the loss of one of england's 1966 world cup winning team and a football legend." former manchester united captain gary neville called sir bobby the greatest english footballer and manchester united's greatest ambassador. and newcastle united wrote that he was an ashington lad and it was the passing of a true legend of the game. well, sir bobby's loss will be felt by all in football, but nowhere more so than at the club that was woven into his heart — manchester united. that's where our reporter ben croucher is this evening, and hejoins us now on an emotional day for the club. ben, what have united had to say? yes, very sombre mood here at old trafford, as you might imagine. we have been here for the last couple of hours and fans behind us have been arriving steadily to pay tribute. and lay flowers at the trinity statute that commemorates the careers of george best, denis law and sir bobby charlton, that formidable trio for manchester united in the 1960s and 1970s. now, the club have also paid tributes,
6:38 pm
they have released a statement saying that manchester united are in mourning following the passing of sir bobby charlton, one of their greatest and most beloved players in the history of our club. sir bobby was a hero to millions, notjust in manchester, or the united kingdom, but wherever footballers played around the world. he was a player and a man who embodied everything that manchester united stood for and his legacy continues. many of the fans that we spoke too early at old trafford were too younger to see him play, but his death has really struck a chord with those fans, young and old. he has done so much for the club over the years. — has done so much for the club over the years. he — has done so much for the club over the years, he has been there, he has 'ust the years, he has been there, he has just been— the years, he has been there, he has just been there all the time. he comes— just been there all the time. he comes to — just been there all the time. he comes to every game. yes, sorry, i'm 'ust comes to every game. yes, sorry, i'm just speechless. | comes to every game. yes, sorry, i'm just speechless-— just speechless. i thought i am show my tributes. — just speechless. i thought i am show my tributes, show _ just speechless. i thought i am show my tributes, show i _ just speechless. i thought i am show my tributes, show i love _ just speechless. i thought i am show my tributes, show i love the - just speechless. i thought i am show my tributes, show i love the club, i my tributes, show i love the club, kszczot _ my tributes, show i love the club, kszczot i —

6:40 pm
thank you, ben. from 0ld from old trafford. there's much more reaction and more tributes to sir bobby charlton on the bbc sport website. manchester united's game at bramall lane tonight follows eight other matches played in the premier league today. let me now bring you up to date with them, starting with the merseyside derby at anfield, which was the early kick—off. karthi gnanasegaram was watching. to most on merseyside, the derby means everything, and a run of results that includes just one defeat for liverpool in 27 meetings with everton, everton knew it would be backs to the wall to throw everything at liverpool. ashley young was in the right place at the right time and then he was late. he saw yellow and before the first half was even up, late again and off for an early bath. despite a numerical advantage at liverpool struggled to dent the number that mattered most,
6:41 pm
that they stayed with 11 on the field seems to perplex if you inside anfield, not least the everton manager. but for clear—cut chances, well, you could count them on one hand. michael keane stuck his out inside the penalty area, which usually means one thing. it's a penalty. which means mo salah doing what he does best. salah scores, clinical! 0ne what he does best. salah scores, clinical! one that maybe means more than most. so one more won't hurt either, well, not the red part of the city anyway. just another three points, as is so often the case at anfield. for everton, more anfield blues. so liverpool's goals came in the end — and jurgen klopp could understand why some of the supporters were feeling frustrated. we have to make sure that we try absolutely everything to win a game and that means for that, you have to
6:42 pm
play until the final whistle. that is what we do so, no, i am not frustrated. but i get it, if i am in the crowd, i would be thinking as well, pass the ball there, pass the ball there. but when you are in the driving seat, it is slightly more difficult. liverpool—everton's not the only derby today. in london, chelsea are currently playing arsenal, who can go back to the top of the premier league with a win. but chelsea are 2—0 up with 55 minutes played. a dream start for coal palmer with a goal after 15 minutes. and another added three minutes. and another added three minutes after half—time against the side he was so close to joining, chelsea looking for their biggest win of the season so far if they can get it. having lost two games in a row, manchester city are back to winning ways, after beating brighton 2—1 at the etihad stadium. pep guardiola's side got off to a flying start thanks to first—half goals from julian alvarez and erling haaland, who ended his run of three games without a goal. ansu fati pulled one back for brighton with
6:43 pm
around 20 minutes to go. city defender manuel akanji was sent off deep into time added on and will now miss the derby against manchester united a week tomorrow. we make a really good first half, i didn't expect it, a great compliment for the team. we scored two goals, we could have scored may be in the final pass a little bit more. we then concede almost nothing first off against the team who scored more goals in the premier league. it means a lot to us. but at the end, obviously, you have to suffer against brighton. but yes, we managed it and we broke the two defeats in a row. newcastle united are up to fifth place with a 4—nil victory over crystal palace. first—half goals from jacob murphy here, anthony gordon and sean longstaff were added to by callum wilson just past the hour as newcastle dominated the game. the result makes it five straight home wins for them, palace, meanwhile, drop to 11th in the table.
6:44 pm
in the first half, i thought we were really clinical. some really nice passages of play. i thought we created some good passing opportunities, some good goal—scoring opportunities. that second half was a case ofjust managing the game and making sure we kept players fit and fresh for what is ahead. but delighted with the attitude of the players. luton town came from two goals down to salvage a point with a 2—2 draw against nottingham forest at the city ground. a chris wood double had put the home side in control, but chiedozie 0gbene pulled one back for the hatters, before elijah adebayo struck in added time to make it three games without defeat for luton. they remain 17th, two places below forest. we will reflect and review accordingly. it is tough really to say anything positive at the moment, although there were loads of
6:45 pm
positives in the game because of how the game has ended. but it is something we have to accept. we blame no—one but ourselves in not getting the three points. you know we will carry on with our work. that we will carry on with our work. at the end, i wasjust reminded it was only the _ the end, i wasjust reminded it was only the one — the end, i wasjust reminded it was only the one point, we want more and i know— only the one point, we want more and i know the _ only the one point, we want more and i know the boys are capable of more as well _ i know the boys are capable of more as well so — i know the boys are capable of more as well. so we take a lot of pride in it quick— as well. so we take a lot of pride in it quick really, really pleased with lots, — in it quick really, really pleased with lots, but we can be better and we are _ with lots, but we can be better and we are going to get better. so yes, it was— we are going to get better. so yes, it was a _ we are going to get better. so yes, it was a good day for us, but there is more _ it was a good day for us, but there is more to— it was a good day for us, but there is more to come. gary 0'neil saw his wolves side pick up all three points, with a 2—1win over his former side bournemouth at the vitality stadium. the home side were in front, but had a player sent off after wolves had equalised — and two minutes from time, conceded a winner which takes wolves upn to 12th ion the table. to 12th in the table. bournmouth remain two points from bottom without a win this season. bournemouth, everton, whoever it was going to be today, i would have felt
6:46 pm
the same. not about me, not about my old club, about a group of players slowly building some momentum, getting to grips with what they are asking them. we have had a real tough run of fixtures, the points return we have got, i think we have had the toughest run in the league so far and i think that is the points return, it is credit to the group. brentford got their first home win of the season with a comfortable 3—0 victory over burnley at the gtech community stadium. spectacular goals from bryan mbeumo and saman ghoddos helped the home side to the win — it takes them up to 14th and six points above the relegation zone. that is where burnley sit though, they've won just one of their opening nine games, and the clarets manager says his team must now show resolve. i believe these moments are defining in a career, in life. when you are
6:47 pm
at your lowest point, not saying this is, but can you still be yourself and work hard? can you face the reality is well and the truth? and grow from that. it is something i have been through in my life, in my career. and we won't approach it any different. promotion—chasing preston north end drew 1—all with millwall in the championship's lunchtime kick—off. after winning six league games out of seven, preston had lost their last three, but mads frokjaer put them ahead in the third minute. managerless millwall fought back and, after half an hour, zian flemming's superb strike secured a point for the lions. the severe weather in scotland meant three of the day's games were postponed. kilmarnock captain kyle vassell scored twice, as they ended their seven—game winless run with a 3—1victory over livingston. and the new rangers
6:48 pm
manager began his reign with a thumping 4—nil win against hibs — abdullah sima scoring twice, as they moved to within four points of leaders celtic. the women's super league's top scorer martha thomas scored a hat—trick for tottenham, as they won 4—2 at aston villa and temporarily moved to the top of the table, but manchester city have regained that position. they are currently taking on leicester at the king power stadium and chloe kelly gave them the lead in the 10th minute. they are just past the hour mark and you can keep up to date with that match live on bbc 2 and iplayer. next, let's talk about england against south africa — the rugby to come. but first, at the cricket world cup, the two countries have already played each other today. a match that saw england suffer one of their all—time worst defeats. losing by 229 runs in mumbai, their hopes of reaching the knockout stages are now hanging by a thread. joe lynskey reports. for all the recent highs in english cricket this may be their lowest
6:49 pm
point. defeat to south africa by more than 200 runs, a record margin, a rough day. they had won the toss in mumbai and chose to bowl. it looked promising, but from four for one, south africa charged. heinrich carson beat his way through the humidity to score a century at speed. it came in 61 balls. it will beat 100. speed. it came in 61 balls. it will beat100. in speed. it came in 61 balls. it will beat 100. in the last ten overs, south africa raced clear. england had conceded their highest ever one—day school. they now had to chase 400. butjohnny bairstow went for ten and the rest got a few more. ben stokes was back from injury, but was brilliantly caught and bowled. when jos buttler fell, was brilliantly caught and bowled. whenjos buttlerfell, england's batters had disintegrated, humiliated. 0nly batters had disintegrated, humiliated. only the tail end brought some resolve. mark wood scored quickly, but for his team, came too late. england can still go through, but must win all five games
6:50 pm
they now have left. for the team who have risen so far, this was a brutal fall. so another defeat for england. a lot of work to do to win the next five matches to reach the knockout stages. here's captainjos buttler. you always reflect after games and question your decisions. certainly with hindsight, the physicality of that innings potentially batting first would have been a better decision. but i am not going to sit here and question it in that sense and say we should have done this or that, it is the decision i took at the time, i thought it was the right one and i still believe if we were chasing 340, 350 we would have done really well in those conditions. england's next opponents, sri lanka, avoided becoming victims of another netherlands upset to record their first victory of this world cup.
6:51 pm
paul van meekeren was the final wicket to fall for the netherlands, as they set the lankans a target of 263. sadeera samarawickram pushed them well towards that total, as he ended the match 91 not—out. dushan hemantha's boundary secured a five—wicket win for sri lanka. we've talked about the cricket world cup. england fans will be hoping for better against south africa at the rugby world cup tonight, where victory would take them into next weekend's final against new zealand. south africa are the favourites, but can england keep their winning run going and avenge their defeat in the final four years ago? 0ur sports correspondent andy swiss is in paris ahead of the 8 o'clock kick—off.
6:52 pm
welcome thousands of england fans are arriving here at the stade de france and i think the general mood is optimistic, but also realistic. they know they are the big underdogs. south africa of course are the reigning world champions, they beat england pretty comprehensively in the final four years ago and they are also the new world number ones, deposing ireland. so south africa at the moment are pretty much the complete package. as for england, well, they really struggled in the build—up to this world cup. they struggled in the six nations, they struggled in the warm up nations, they struggled in the warm up matches. but there are signs particularly in their win over fiji in the quarterfinals that they are really starting to find some form and starting to find some fluency. the weather as you can probably see is not the greatest here at the stade de france, it is pretty wet, it is pretty windy. so that might just suit england's chances, especially their kicking game. but as i said earlier on, thousands of england's fans have been arriving here all day they have been enjoying

this is the wxv1 — the top tier of nations. fter 37 years of racing, frankie dettori claimed a fairytale final win on his last british ride as king of steel took the champion stakes at ascot. the 52—year—old had begun the afternoon with victory on trawlerman in the first race of the day, before guiding king of steel home. dettori, who has more than 3,300 wins, initially intended to retire completely from the sport but will now go on to ride in the united states. i wanted to finish my career at the top. i thought, i wanted to finish my career at the top. ithought, i i wanted to finish my career at the top. i thought, i will give it one more year. i have had an amazing time. i thought that rings were going to slow down and i would see my last —— say my last farewell to everyone. but completely the opposite. i went to america and i had such a good time. and then as soon as i got back, i never stopped winning. guineas. 0akes. coronation. gold cups. nonstop. still because of the success, ifeel gold cups. nonstop. still because of the success, i feel it is a little bit left in me. and obviously, i said my last goodbyes in europe, so that's why i am moving to america to just get the riding out of my system. so i didn't really, i had to
6:56 pm
eat all my words when i said it was good to retire fully. so in a way, i am sad that i am leaving this country, but it would have been a bit of a repetition. and it would have been, so this way, america is a new challenge for me and it will be a good way for me to slow down. frankie dettori. and our top story tonight. that is that sir bobby charlton, a man who transcended the sport, died of the game according to his former club manchester united has died today at the age of 86. if achievements amongst the greatest of any english player, world cup winner with three titles, european cup and fa cup and registered a record number of appearances and goals for club and country at the time. my final words to note manchester united's words. sir bobby was a hero to millions, notjust in manchester or the united kingdom, but wherever football is played around the world.
6:57 pm
from in the team, for now, goodnight. —— from me and the team. hello. some parts of the country have had between 100 and 200 millilitres of rain. the exact figures have still yet to be verified, but they have been exceptional. now, the red warning has expired from eastern scotland, but the amber warning for heavy rain is still valid in the north of scotland. we have to wait a little while before this weather front completely clears away and i think by this stage, already, we'll be experiencing better weather conditions in the east of scotland. actually, across many parts of the uk, it's a case of generally clear weather, dry weather through the night. and it's also going to turn quite chilly, perhaps murky,
6:58 pm
misty in a few places. the early—morning temperatures on sunday will be two in aberdeen, about that in newcastle. but i think in most bigger towns and cities, closer to around five to perhaps nine celsius. now, the troublesome low that has brought all of that mayhem is now moving away to the north. this is the weather map for sunday, and we're actually in—between weather systems — so some decent weather, i'm very pleased to say, on the way. from morning onwards, a lot of bright, if not sunny, weather. yes, there will be a few showers here and there, but nothing compared to what we've had in the last few days. so overall, a bright day, if not sunny day for most of us, and much, much better across scotland. look at that, sunshine and 11 degrees there in aberdeen. but sunday into monday, the next area of low pressure approaches and this one will reach southern parts of the uk. and also, another weather front will reach northern ireland, too. so, through the early hours of monday, the next
6:59 pm
weather front approaches, whereas many parts of the country wake up to sunshine. and it's going to be a very decent day across scotland in terms of the weather. northern england also fairly bright. but across the south, the next spell of rain is approaching. live from london, this is bbc news. twenty truckloads of life—saving aid arrive in gaza — the first since the start of israel's war on hamas. but the un says much more is needed. one of england's greatest footballers, and manchester united legend sir bobby charlton, dies at the age of 86. and storm babet continues to batter parts of the uk, bringing high winds, severe flooding and risk to life warnings.
7:00 pm
hello. for the first time since israel began its total siege of gaza, aid trucks have crossed into the strip from egypt after the partial opening of the rafah crossing. the un is now calling for a ceasefire and unrestricted humanitarian access throughout gaza. the palestinian health ministry says almost 4,500 gazans have been killed in the last two weeks — more than 1,700 of them children, and the situation there is desperate. the convoy was carrying food, water and medicine, which have been running out in gaza. israel agreed to allowjust 20 trucks through, but not fuel, which is needed to power hospital generators and water pumping stations. the un says at least 100 aid trucks are needed a day to cover gaza's urgent needs. israel sealed its borders with gaza, imposing a total blockade
