plenty of international matchups this evening. let's get a checkup on the sport. nine there are nine matches in the uefa nations league under way this tuesday night — harry kane's making his 100th international appearance for england who are playing finland at wembley. kane has put the ball in the net — but he was offside so it remains 0—0. the standout fixture is that one in amsterdam, netherlands taking on germany — and the dutch lead 1—0, tijani reijnders with their goal in the bsecond minute. tijani reijnders with their goal in the second minute. they're hoping to make it three wins from three which would move them six points clear of germany in theirgroup.

lots of internationals taking place, including world cup qualifers, too. and australia's bad start to their campaign has continued with a goal—less draw in indonesia. after losing at home to bahrain, the aussies were desperate for a win. nestory irankunda came closest in the first half but indonesia hung on to get their second point of in the group and stay above australia. there is another eight games to go and the goal is always to qualify go and the goal is always to auali , . , , ., go and the goal is always to auali . , ., qualify direct, but you have this extra _ qualify direct, but you have this extra playoff _ qualify direct, but you have this extra playoff spots, - qualify direct, but you have | this extra playoff spots, but for me in this moment, i am just frustrated and need to go home to australia and have a really good to think about things. bodycam footage of nfl star tyreek hill being arrested has been released by miami police prompting a furious response from the wide receiver's team. hill was pulled over by police on the way to the hard rock stadium, for the dolphins opening game of the season on sunday.

video footage released by the miami—dade police department shows the altercation between officers and the player, who was dragged out of his car and handcuffed on the ground. the footage gathered from the cameras of six officers also shows hill being taken to the side of the road and forced to sit. an internal investigation has been opened into the matter and one of the officers involved has been placed on administrative duties while the review is conducted. hill's team the miami dolphins released a critical statement posted on x, saying that it was both "maddening and heartbreaking to watch the very people we trust to protect our community, use such unnecessary force and hostility." meanwhile a miami police union says that hill did not cooperate when he was stopped. leading formula one designer adrian newey willjoin aston martin next seaso and he's set to be paid around 30 million pounds a year to help lead the team to a world championship.

the news was officially announced by aston martin at their base in silverstone today. newey, who's regarded as the greatest f1 designer in history, had negotiated an early exit from his contract at red bull where he designed the car that took max verstappen to three consecutive world titles. the reception i had from all of the employees here when i walked out to address with lawrence the factory, that was a sort of picture self moment because it is a side of it i never think about. my passion has always been trying to find ways to make the car go faster and to work with everyone, my fellow engineers. so i try to keep myself relatively immune from all of the outside media. it'll be third time lucky if the one—off test between afganistan and new zealand can get under way on wednesday. heavy rain on day one and an unplayable outfield

on day two have led to no play so far in the city of greater noida. the indian venue has never hosted a test and still hasn't. ground staff tried drying up the outfield and even transplanting grass from the practice pitches to try to get the game on but to no avail so far. and that's all the sport for now. for thousands of prisoners in the uk, release day has come early as part of the new government scheme to ease prison overcrowding. the first wave of those prisoners were let out today with more than 5,000 to be released over the next 2 months. the government says those who qualify will have been sentenced to no more than 5 years injail — and will have served 40% of their time rather than the usual 50% those jailed for for serious violent offences, sex offences domestic abuse will not be eligible. the justice secretary says every available measure is being taken to protect the public. here's our uk correspondent daniel sandford.

at wandsworth prison today... 0h! ..inmates walking free early from their sentences, celebrating with their friends. some hiding theirfaces as they left the jail. let's go! hi, let's go! 0thers making up for lost time with their partners, while a few were worried about their future. i'm going to be sleeping on a bench tonight, do you know what i mean? there's no messing about. i'm going to go to probation, and if they've gotten an address for me, i'm the pope. in liverpool, prisoners coming out weeks earlier than expected. did you come out under the early release scheme? yeah. so how much earlier did you come out than you were expecting? two months. so is that a bit of a relief for you to get out of it early? of course, yeah. so how far the prisons at the moment? chock—a, absolutely rammed. you out under early release? yeah. how much earlier did you come out today than you were supposed to? 80 days. how much? 80 days early? they came out in groups every half an hour or so. all day there's been a steady

release of inmates from prisons across england and wales. one of the biggest mass releases of prisoners ever seen on a single day. and even while they were still coming out, the minister in charge of prisons was explaining why to the house of commons. if we had not done this, we faced courts unable to hold trials, police unable to make arrests and a total breakdown of law and order. this is not the long—term solution, there is more that we must do, but it was the necessary first step that we had to take following the disgraceful dereliction of duty by the previous government. it was the record prison population that led today's mass release, but it's now putting huge strain on the probation system, with officers worried many will just reoffend. that means we are likely to see a lot of people recalled to prison in short order. so, again, thatjust fuels the problem. people are recalled to prison for two weeks, typically, and then they're released and perhaps recalled yet again. so it is papering over the cracks.

ministers had promised victims that people convicted of domestic abuse wouldn't be released early. but elizabeth hudson has received this letter, saying that her ex—partner, martin underwood, will be set free under the scheme next year. this is a dangerous, dangerous violent man that attacked me for many years, notjust on that morning, and then his future girlfriend whilst on police bail. there is no... there's a pattern of behaviour, there is no grey area about whether or not its domestic abuse. the ministry ofjustice says martin underwood has served his time for the domestic abuse offences of strangulation and threats to kill and is being released early from an additional sentence for assault. let's speak to donna jones, police and crime commissioner for hampshire and isle of wight constabulary. welcome to the programme. have you been briefed in recent days

by the government on what this means for your area and who might be released?— might be released? yes, the briefinus might be released? yes, the briefings have _ might be released? yes, the briefings have been - might be released? yes, the briefings have been going i might be released? yes, the briefings have been going on for about six or seven months when the considerations were being given to changing the standard determinate standard and that is where prisoners are being released 40% of the way through the sentence as opposed to 50% which is what happened previously if they were well—behaved. for me as a policing crime commissioner and for others up and down the country this is a concern having convicted people back out in community sooner than we otherwise would do is also obviously a concern for victims who are worried that their assailants, perpetrators are going back into communities and potentially making them subject to greater harm. we all need to be keeping an eye on what is going on. this is a farfrom ideal situation, going on. this is a farfrom idealsituation, but going on. this is a farfrom ideal situation, but we are optimistic of 1700 more beds

becoming available in the mail prison population towards the end of the year when two prisons are due to open. [30 prisons are due to open. do you have enough — prisons are due to open. do you have enough probation - prisons are due to open. do you have enough probation officersl have enough probation officers to deal with this? i have enough probation officers to deal with this?— to deal with this? i don't believe _ to deal with this? i don't believe there _ to deal with this? i don't believe there are - to deal with this? i don't| believe there are enough to deal with this? i don't i believe there are enough at to deal with this? i don't - believe there are enough at the moment, no. she believe there are enough at the moment. ne— moment, no. she can't really keep across _ moment, no. she can't really keep across with _ moment, no. she can't really keep across with these - moment, no. she can't really| keep across with these people are doing?— are doing? that's exactly the oint. are doing? that's exactly the point- when _ are doing? that's exactly the point. when those _ are doing? that's exactly the point. when those people i are doing? that's exactly the| point. when those people are released from prison, they are out on licence. the only way that you can check if they are adhering to their licence, if they are not committing offences is by offender managers, probation officers who are working for the prison and probation service monitoring their behaviour and keeping in contact with them. backin keeping in contact with them. back injuly street keeping in contact with them. back in july street after the general election, when the then new government made the announcement about implementing this early release, they did make an announcement that they would be recruiting 1000 more probation officers by march 2025. of course, that is an enormous drop in itself,

preparations are already under way to do so, but they have not yet been recruited. it takes around two years to train a probation officer so what we now have a sister which and across the country where we are having to manage the risk of some violence and some extremely complex criminals back out in society quicker than they otherwise should be. so if it's not the probation service looking at this, what does it mean for policing in your area because presumably they will fill the gaps? we have teams _ they will fill the gaps? - have teams called multi agency public protection teams that we work closely with the probation service. i should copy out this and that the most violent and people who have committed the most heinous crime such as sexual offences are not subject to the early release. this is prisoners deemed to be of a medium or lower level of risk. we all know that prisoners and convicted people will go on and commit other crimes, not all, but some will particularly if they don't have the right access to housing, support and able to claim the benefits they

need quickly. this is an enormous piece of work that is being undertaken when we have the release date both today and october, as you said, overfive and a half thousand people released from prison earlier than they should be. you love scene in the _ than they should be. you love scene in the report _ than they should be. you love scene in the report there - than they should be. you love scene in the report there a . scene in the report there a woman who would suffer domestic abuse was concerned her partner was to be leased earlier, her previous partners i should say —— partner what support will be put in place for victims of domestic abuse and what should they do if they feel concern or if they get a visit from zone released early who should not be there? , released early who should not be there?— released early who should not be there? , , ., .., be there? they should contact the police _ be there? they should contact the police straightaway. - be there? they should contact the police straightaway. are . the police straightaway. are the police straightaway. are the the the police straightaway. are they the priority. _ the police straightaway. are they the priority. is there an acknowledgement within the police service that they need to be looked after and there needs to be greater focus in the next coming months? what is ha enin: the next coming months? what is happening in _ the next coming months? what is happening in preparation - the next coming months? what is happening in preparation of - happening in preparation of today in the same will happen in preparation for the date in october, the second big release date as police forces are given the names and details of those

in their force area being released, then they will work with the probation service in the offenders, particularly if there is any particular length to domestic violence, victims, if it is relevant to the crime they were in prison for should be notified and made aware. those are where the probation service are going to want to management of the people, prioritise in that area. the release of prisoners subject to w, release of prisoners subject to ipp, imprisonment for public protection, there are some 2700 people currently in prison across the entire prison service who could well not be considered for that release. they are not currently subject to the five and half thousand people coming out, but that would free up over one third of the spaces in the current prison population. since substances something like myself, police and crime commissioners, chief constables, the probation service working together we are keeping a close eye on what is going on. but i am optimistic as a sample of those new prisons that will be opening

towards the end of the year which will create greater accountability within the mail prison preparation. in southern gaza at least 19 people have been killed in an overnight israeli air attack. residents say the strike hit a tented camp. crowded with displaced palestinians in what was a designated humanitarian zone — called al mawasi — close to the city of khan younis. israel said it was targeting a hamas command centre. 0ur middle east correspondent lucy willamson reports. they searched for survivors in the place people fled to survive. gaza's mawasi safe zone, hit by israeli air strikes last night. an encampment of displaced families who went to sleep in tents and woke up in this. even the living stood lifeless this morning. the loss after 11 months of war impossible to avoid, difficult to take in.

there had been no warning, survivors said, of the air strikes that buried families, set fire to shelters. local staff at a uk field hospital said shrapnel sliced through their tents. there are no fighters here, this man says, just displaced people. these are the rockets they drop on children. aya madi, displaced from rafah, said she dug her seven children out of the rubble. translation: we woke up| to nothing but sand and fire. my children were screaming "mama, mama." i couldn't tell if they were alive or dead. i held my two—month—old son, thinking he was dead, covered in sand. thank god he was still alive. israel's army said it used precise weapons to target three hamas commanders directly involved in the 7th

of october attacks. so far, it's not confirmed they are among the casualties but medics say women and children are. today, they wrap this three—year—old in a sheet for burial. her mother and her aunt both pinned to the floor in grief. israel has bombed the mawasi safe zone several times before, blaming hamas for using it as cover. and raising questions over whether that grim calculation is breaking international law. lucy williamson, bbc news, jerusalem. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news.

george lucas, the creator of star wars has led tributes to james earljones the actor who provided the voice of darth vader who's died at the age of 93. lucas described him

as a beautiful human being. mark hamill who played the film's protagonist and darth vader's son luke skywalker tweeted "rip dad." as well as the star wars villain, jones was well known for a wide array of roles over his six decade career. his other voice work included mufasa in disney's lion king and the ident for the news channel cnn. lizo mzimba looks back at his life. from his first film role, he clearly had something special. the fire is out. emergency power is on. everything seems to check out all right. that voice... will advise. before doctor strangelove, james earljones had served in the military, but he really wanted to act. i've been waiting for you, obi wan. we meet again at last. then came something that made his voice world famous. when i left you, i was but a learner, now i am the master. you are part of the rebel alliance and a traitor. take her away!

his voice's gravity and depth made him a natural choice for the lion king... look, simba, everything the light touches is our kingdom. ..and its remake a quarter of a century later. one day, simba, the sun will set on my time here and will rise with you as the new king. while he again played a king opposite eddie murphy in coming to america... i want the woman to love me for who i am. ..he also had the chance to show his gift for comedy. i am a man who has never tied his own shoes before. wrong. you are a prince who has never tied his shoes. believe me, i tied my own shoes once. it is an overrated experience. on tv, he played the author alex haley, who's search for his african ancestors led to the ground—breaking series — roots. the force is with you, young skywalker, but

you are not a jedi yet. and is all the more admirable in that a young boy who barely spoke because of his stutter... most impressive. ..should become an actor whose stirring tones... that's very good. ..earned him the accolade of having perhaps the world's most recognisable voice. simba, remember. kunta kinte, ifound you. i am your father. what a voice. lift off this morning for falcon 9 and the polaris dawn mission. a textbook launch, after several delays. it is a joint venture between elon musk and the billionaire entrepreneurjared isaacman. there are four non professional astraonauts on board, that over the next week

will travel further from earth than any human has travelled since nasa's apollo moon missions. 0ur science correspondent pallab ghosh reports. let's speak to dr megan argo, senior lecturer in astrophysics and science communications at the university of central lancashire. how do you feel watching this launched today? that have been several delays to the launch, but now we are going.- several delays to the launch, but now we are going. they have had several _ but now we are going. they have had several delays, _ but now we are going. they have had several delays, some - had several delays, some technical some related to previous issues were some weather—related. it is exciting to see and i'm sure the four astronauts were excited to get off the launch pad. the astronauts were excited to get off the launch pad.— off the launch pad. the only have one — off the launch pad. the only have one door— off the launch pad. the only have one door on _ off the launch pad. the only have one door on the - off the launch pad. the only have one door on the cabin, off the launch pad. the only i have one door on the cabin, so when they go for the spacewalk, able will depressurized fully, does that sound risky to you? it's risky but it's not something that's not happened

before. going back to the first days of the space walks with the russians and americans, they had issues doing their spacewalks but in a similar way, they left the capsule and without the modern space suits that integrated life—support system, relying on and biblical connected to the spacecraft to give him oxygen while he was on his spacewalk, the astronauts will be on the scene positions, spacex had to develop flexible and lighter spacesuits and then typically used by nasa but it will mean they will have to stay tethered to the craft, it does not have an air lock, like the early days of spacewalking, they did not have air like we do on modern missions. having no airlock means that with any block, need to physically open the capsule. it's what will happen when they do the spacewalk and a couple of days' time is that the entire

spacecraft will be depressurized and that will set the record for the moment on one mission that will be vacuumed out of it one time so this mission is setting all kinds of records for in all commercial crew balls lots of exciting things happening here for the first time as well. and for the first time as well. and what about — for the first time as well. and what about these _ for the first time as well. and what about these suits. - for the first time as well. and what about these suits. they are going to the radiation belt where the particles from the sun could get know eyster has been there since the munitions why is it important that they go there and test the suits they have made? it’s they have made? it's important to fly through — they have made? it's important to fly through the _ they have made? it's important to fly through the van - they have made? it's important to fly through the van allen - to fly through the van allen radiation belts they are to do with the earths magnetic field and are useful because they stop us particles tearing away at the earth's atmosphere and are protecting the earth but they are potentially quite damaging to spacecraft electronics and can stop circuits functioning so it is a

test for the electronics and these moments and radiation is damaging for the human body so if we are going to the future, in space, elon musk wants to go to mars come up what he wants to mars come up what he wants to do with spacex, going to mars means flying tributes radiation belts to understanding the levels of radiation that will be exposed on the flights, these missions do you test on human body as well, all of this will be used later. ., ., , ., later. there are more private companies — later. there are more private companies getting _ later. there are more private companies getting involved l later. there are more private| companies getting involved in space. do you think we are in something of an industrial revolution in space, what does this mean for human exploration? it this mean for human exploration? this mean for human exloration? . . , , exploration? it certainly feels like it. it seems _ exploration? it certainly feels like it. it seems to _ exploration? it certainly feels like it. it seems to has - exploration? it certainly feels like it. it seems to has driven j like it. it seems to has driven more activity in recent years, there is more science we can do when there is more provable out there and because companies like spacex, they reduce the cost of getting into space for

sidelights in humans, it won't get to the point anytime soon to fly to space routinely like air travel, to fly to space routinely like airtravel, but to fly to space routinely like air travel, but it is bringing down costs. producing the cost of a side of light by a factor of a side of light by a factor of ten so putting more into low earth orbit, so there's a lot happening, it comes with more risk on the more humans to put up the more chance of things happening so there are risks associated with greater use of this, composerthinks this, composer thinks governments are certainly looking at governments are certainly looking a— governments are certainly lookin: an ., ., , looking at you have two people who have worked _ looking at you have two people who have worked for _ looking at you have two people who have worked for spacex i looking at you have two people l who have worked for spacex who have trained astronauts who are now part of the crew getting the chance to go to space themselves so there's hope for you yet, do you can see it, shall we book you in? i would love to. shall we book you in? i would love to- if— shall we book you in? i would love to. if someone _ shall we book you in? i would love to. if someone let - shall we book you in? i would love to. if someone let me i shall we book you in? i would| love to. if someone let me on shall we book you in? i would l love to. if someone let me on a rock and i would love to go up there. i've a few medical conditions so i'm not sure i would pass the selection criteria but absolutely. i have

and as the low pressure driving those winds works over towards scandinavia, it will stay quite blowy, but the peak winds will start to come down. there will be plenty of showers across north and western coasts overnight, and temperatures will taking a dive, 5—6 celsius in the coldest spots. now tomorrow, we'll still have this cold north—northwesterly wind flow established across the uk. now we start off with showers across northern and western coastal areas, but through the day the showers become widespread and move inland, so nowhere is immune from seeing a downpour. by the time we get to the afternoon, some of the showers will be heavy, with some hail and thunder mixed in as well. temperatures well below average for september, ranging from 11—15 celsius. in london, the average for this time of year is actually 20 celsius, so we're five degrees celsius below average for this part of the year.

on thursday, a very similar kind of day. a cold start, showers initially near coastal areas and again the showers become widespread, they become heavy with hail and thunder and move inland as the day goes by. nowhere is immune from seeing a downpour. temperatures not really changing too much, 10—15 celsius, making it another chilly september day. into friday, we see a change in the weather pattern as high pressure starts to move across the uk. that's going to kill the showers off so most of you will have a dry day. probably a bit of cloud building into western areas and for northern ireland, a weather front approaches here through the afternoon, so we might end friday afternoon with the rain starting to edge its way in. temperatures coming up by a degree or so, 16 degrees for cardiff and london. but that trend to milder weather is set to continue into the weekend as we start to draw up these south—westerly winds ahead of the next area of low pressure. the low itself over the weekend will at times bring some wet and windy weather, so it's not going to be a dry weekend, but it is a weekend that will see those temperatures edging a little bit closer to average for the time of year.

and then next week, high pressure is going to take over, so it becomes dry and sunny and it will feel quite warm in that september sun next week. bye for now.

hello, i'm christian fraser. you're watching the context on bbc news. the stage is set, the lights are being fine—tuned. a very important aspect of the debate tonight is notjust the substance and the policy that will be discussed, but also the tenor and the tone. well, i used to be

a democrat, not no more — i switched to republican. but i don't really go by that, i go by who says what's better. 10% or so undecideds — - they're the people, alongside the 50 million others i who will tune in tonight, who will be watching this . debate to decide and make up their mind on which of these candidates they'll pick. - for big debates, we have big panels. joining me tonight arejennifer?nassour — chairwoman of the massachusetts republican party — mona charen, columnist and policy editor at the bulwark — and the political strategist mary anne marsh. and we'll hopefully be joined by — david litt, former speechwriter for barak 0bama. we will get to the panel shortly. first, the latest headlines. more than 1,700 prisoners have been released early in england and wales as part of a government scheme to ease overcrowding in prisons. the ministry ofjustice said

freeing up space was the only way to avert a crisis, after the prison population
