president zelensky has repeatedly called for permission to use the weapons on targets across the border. he claims it is the only way to end the war. our political editor, chris mason, has sent this report from the white house. i think the next few weeks and months could be crucial. what does president biden make of russia's threats against the west? i don't think much about that. this is the blue room of the white house, the president, the prime minister and their team spoke here for about an hour and a half. the war in ukraine dominated the conversation. afterwards, sir keir starmer wouldn't be drawn on whether he had persuaded the president that authorising ukraine to fire western missiles at russia was a good idea. instead, he said... there's only one reason we're having these discussions

and that's because putin has illegally invaded ukraine and the quickest way to resolve this, obviously, lies through what putin actually does. because it's for him to end this, but we are having the discussion, we've stood with ukraine, ukraine has the right to self defence and we have stood united not just with our allies in the us but across with our nato allies, that's very important to us. these are the long—range anglo—french missiles ukraine would love to fire into russia. the uk making the argument allies it's a request that should be granted — they rely on american satellite systems to work. you might ask why the prime minister has been so keen to dash here to visit a president who we know will be gone in just a few months time. his answer is they are urgent issues that need addressing now, not least this question of missiles. the president has been sceptical about ukraine

being able to fire them into russia, fearing they would be dangerous. this is the reality of the war grinding on in ukraine, a country desperate for ongoing help — its allies weighing up how best to do it. and at what cost. chris mason, bbc news, in washington. we will talk some more about that a little later in the programme. but let's have a look at all the rest of todayis let's have a look at all the rest of today is macstories, naga has those. —— today's stories. an 18—year—old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after three people died in a tower block in luton. all three victims were pronounced dead at the scene. our reporter vinny mcaviney has more. police were called to this 15—storey tower block in luton at 5:30 on friday morning, after concerns for the welfare of someone in one of the flats. when they arrived, police found three people with serious injuries who were then pronounced dead at the scene. an 18—year—old man was arrested near the flats and a weapon was recovered.

as a result of the inquiries we completed, at a very early stage, we have been able to identify and arrest an individual. the 18—year—old man is currently in custody at luton police station. some neighbours were too afraid to leave their flats yesterday, not knowing what was going on and whether they were safe. i woke up to my boys screaming in the morning and looking out the window, police everywhere with guns and my boys are screaming, nothing, couldn't imagine waking up to it. it's scary, it's not nice knowing that something's happened this serious, and we don't know what's happened. about 5:30 in the morning, - i heard the shouting and police sirens, yeah, but from what i have heard it's very gutwrenching - to hear something like that. on your doorstep, definitely. not nice at all. very sad. - this is a nightmare because i'm

a single mum, i have my coffee every morning on the balcony and i saw the police cars and everything and they called me telling me the nursery will be closed today. bedfordshire police want to reassure residents that this was an isolated incident and there was no threat to the wider community. the victims have not yet been named. vincent mcaviney, bbc news. one of england's largest school academy trusts is set to become the first of its size to ban students from using mobile phones at school. ormiston academies trust says it's phasing out access to smartphones for around 35,000 pupils at its 44 state schools — because of what it calls the "catastrophic" impact on children's mental health and learning. new analysis from the department for work and pensions suggests that 780,000 people who are entitled to pension credits but don't claim them will miss out on winter fuel payments this year under the government's proposed changes. the estimates were released under freedom of information laws on friday.

of course, you know, the things that we always miss, ourfamilies, i miss my two dogs, i miss my friends, but, you know what? like butch said, there are so many people on earth that are sending us messages and it makes you feeljust right at home. butch and suni left earth with leaks in the propulsion system. some of the thrusters cut out during docking. they arrived safely, greeted with the usual hugs. but engineers wanted to get to the bottom of the thruster problems before bringing them home. they never did, so do they feel let down by boeing, who made the starliner spacecraft? let down? absolutely not. we're pushing the edges of the envelope in everything that we do, and it is not easy. radio: starliner is now backing away from station. starliner returned to earth last week without butch and suni. boeing said it would be completely safe for them, but nasa overruled them, and the astronauts said for the first time that they agreed.

we found some things that we just could not get comfortable with, putting us back in the starliner, when we had other options. we could have gotten to the point, i believe, where we could have returned on starliner, but we just simply ran out of time. butch and suni seem to be enjoying life on the space station. this is my happy place, i love being up here in space. it'sjust fun, you know. every day you do something that's "work". you can do it upside down. suni and butch are working with the rest of the space station crew with experiments, maintenance and...having fun. pallab ghosh, bbc news. we should try that. you upside down. thanks. it we should try that. you upside down. thanks. , ., ., thanks. it is the man doing it there. no-one _ thanks. it is the man doing it there. no-one needs- thanks. it is the man doing it there. no-one needs to - thanks. it is the man doing it there. no-one needs to see. thanks. it is the man doing it i there. no-one needs to see me thanks. it is the man doing it - there. no-one needs to see me doing that at six point _ there. no-one needs to see me doing that at six point 12 _ there. no-one needs to see me doing that at six point 12 a.m.. _ there. no-one needs to see me doing that at six point 12 a.m.. see - there. no-one needs to see me doing that at six point 12 a.m.. see where i that at six point 12 a.m.. see where we are at by —

blustery here in the northwest, gusts up to around a0 miles an hour. temperatures are most of us around 17-20, a little temperatures are most of us around 17—20, a little cooler across the far north of scotland where you have wind and rain around two. further south are clear skies as we head into the evening and overnight, the band of rain clears from scotland and northern ireland tonight, it will become patchy, across the england and another wales, and again it is part of southern england that see the coolest conditions, still down into single figures, not quite as chilly as the last few nights where we have seen bridges down into low single figures. tomorrow then, still the cool area in the south but lots of sunshine in central southern england, south wales, here is the band of rain tomorrowjust sitting across northern england, perhaps far north of wales, patchy rain here with some sunshine to northern ireland and part of scotland, a few blustery showers moving through on the north. it won't be as windy as today. top temperatures starting to creep up, around 18—2a central and southern areas, a little cooler, 13 or ia across the north of scotland.

and then into monday morning, if you see this high—pressure that builds this —— builds across the uk, are much less windy spell of weather, could be some early morning mist and merc around a central and southern parts, that should clear away and monday looking like pretty decent day. sunshine developing, light winds as well, it will feel quite pleasant, starting to creep up, high teens low 20s and of us, a little bit cooler, across the north of scotland but as we move through next week, this area of high—pressure sticks around, slowly easing its way eastwards, so a bit of a change in wind direction will start to draw on the winds for more of a south and south—easterly direction and that means things will be warming up through the metal parts of the week. the outlook then, hi tens and low 20s, looking pretty decent, a lot of dry unsettled weather so a better week ahead compared to the past week orso week ahead compared to the past week or so for many of us.

how young is too young to own a smartphone? research from the regulator 0fcom has found that nearly a quarter of children aged between five and seven in the uk have their own smartphones with access to games, apps, and social media. and they're using social media more, with nearly two in five from that age group saying they have accounts. that's up nearly 10% from the year before. the most popular app is whatsapp, followed by tiktok and then instagram. that's despite the minimum age to use all three being 13. some parents in shropshire are concerned smartphones could be bad for their children's development so they've decided to test out phones that have no access to the internet. 0ur reporter, joanne writtle has been to meet them. in the 1980s, yuppies posed with huge mobile phones but no—one was glued to a screen. in fact, their phones did not even have screens.

going at all. we are set for a t20 decider between the two great rivals after a thriller in cardiff, where england beat australia, by three wickets to level the series at one game apiece. liam livingstone the star of the show. england were set a target of 19a to win, and livingstone's 87 got the hosts to the line before he lost his wicket, with just one run needed for victory and after a nervy few moments, including the loss of the wicket of brydon carse, england's adil rashid, scampered home for the winning run, to set up the winner takes all, decider at old trafford, tomorrow. the play and it is not easy to come

in to try and get into a rhythm at six or seven. moving up the order has been nice it is given me responsibility in time to bat and i feel i am indecent neck at the moment with both bat and ball. i am enjoying my cricket, that is the main thing about a difficult few years. it is nice to bat with a smile on my face. next to another great rivalry and it's the usa who have a huge advantage, going into the second day of the solheim cup in virginia. leading after the morning foursomes, the usa hammered home their advantage to take a 6—2 lead at the close, in virginia. world number one nelly korda, and meghan khang, comfortably won their match against britain's georgia hall, and ireland's leona maguire. followed closely by lauren coughlin, and sarah schmelzel, who won the final match three and two, leaving europe, with a mountain to climb now, if they're to overturn a record lead to retain the cup for a historic fourth time in a row.

rory mcilroy, is still in contention at the irish open, at royal county down. this eagle was the highlight of the northern irishman's round yesterday which left him on four under par and two shots behind the leader, italy's matteo manassero. the world number three will get under way again, just after one o'clock, alongside england's todd clements. 0nto tennis and great britain suffered a big blow in their bid to reach november's knock out stage, of the davis cup finals after losing to argentina, in their second, group stage match. they lost both singles matches, at the event in manchester. but they did manage to win the doubles. jack draper, playing for the first time since losing in the us open semi—finals, was narrowly beaten by francisco cerundolo. patrick gearey has more. britain play theirjack. draper had not been dealt the easiest hand. dishman's tennis�*s great hope arrived with his team won much behind in their tie against

argentina. and facing francisco, in light blue, inspired. right from the first point he hunted draper. and then seized the set in a tie—break. draper had worked hard to be fit after his run to the us open semifinals. there were glimpses of what it showed the world in new york but his light only flickered. the racket, one moment an instrument of despair, the next of almost loving care. but francisco was waiting. i'm worried by being unpopular. in the 12th game he sensed his moment to conquer draper. and manchester. he has done it. victory for argentina over— has done it. victory for argentina over the — has done it. victory for argentina over the british. jack has done it. victory for argentina over the british.— has done it. victory for argentina over the british. jack was tromped. his home coming _ over the british. jack was tromped. his home coming turned _ over the british. jack was tromped. his home coming turned into i over the british. jack was tromped. i his home coming turned into someone else's party. patrick geary, bbc news. britain's defeat means group d has been blown wide open and, with argentina playing finland today. great britain did salvage a victory in the doubles — the team of dan evans

and neal skupski beating the argentine pair, in straight sets, and it all means they are likely to need to beat canada tomorrow to stand a chance of going through. the chances of northern ireland hosting matches at the euro 2028 football tournament appear to have gone. the uk government says it won't provide funding towards the rebuilding of casement park stadium in belfast after the projected cost rose to more than a00 million. it also said there was a "significant risk" the stadium wouldn't be built in time. the ulster gaa called it "bitterly disappointing" while the irish fa said it will "consider the implications of this with our bid partners and uefa." wigan warriors thrashed leeds rhinos by 38 points to nil to maintain their lead at the top of the superleague table. bevan french scored two of their seven tries at the brick community stadium. the warriors still need to win their remaining regular season game, at home to salford red devils next week, to be certain of lifting the league leaders' shield. in the night's other matches hull kingston rovers beat leigh leopards to remain two points behind wigan. and st helens beat

castleford tigers. it looks like lando norris might need to find more than just support from his mclaren team—mate if he's to keep up his fight for the formula 1 world title in azerbaijan this weekend. the briton, who's 62 points behind championship leader max verstappen, struggled in friday practice. he could only manage seventeenth after getting held up by another driver on his fastest lap. way ahead of him was ferrari's charles leclerc who pipped sergio perez and lewis hamilton to top the timesheets in baku. qualifying gets under way at one o'clock. iam i am having to push way too much to try and get a lap time out of it. clearly i think it is more where we are. i think if we nail it we are just about there but i am sure they are not even close to mailing it yet. there is a lot to fight, obviously compared to mercedes and

red bull, they are similar and then there is a good space back to us. there was a surprise victory for britain's charlie dobson in the diamond league finale in brussels as he took the a00 metre crown. the pre—race favourite had been another brit, matthew hudson—smith, but the olympic silver—medallist pulled up around the 100 metre mark and it was dobson who surged through late on to snatch the diamond league title in a time of aa.a9 seconds. now for professional clubs, the fa cup is still far from their thoughts in this early part of the season. but for teams lower down the footballing pyramid, the world famous competition is already helping them to live the dream. take for example shifnal town from the midlands league. today they play in their fourth fa cup game of the season. they've had preliminary rounds and then today it's second qualifying round weekend, and a match against redditch united. i've been to shifnal, a small market town in shropshire, to find out more.

you know you're in the lower reaches of nonleague football when the neighbours have some of the best views and there are picnic benches behind the goals for some of the 150 orso behind the goals for some of the 150 or so fans that come along. but these days, these part—time minnows from the ninth tier are making new headline, hot off the press at the club's own renting works. they've already won fa cup matches this season is, to reach the second official qualifying round for the first time in a1 years. singing all the way back from northamptonshire after their latest conquest. for teams like _ after their latest conquest. for teams like us, _ after their latest conquest. for teams like us, if— after their latest conquest. fr?" teams like us, if you can have five or six rounds, it is like winning the cup. and if you can get the first round proper and have a big draw, that is dreamtime, isn't it? although it may only be mid—september, the magic of the fa cup is already alive and kicking.

because shifnal are already playing in their fourth game of the competition this season and it enables us to discover gems of clubs like this, where the top score of all time is running the bar, and the fans and players are all dangling and singing and dancing together before and after training. # la la la... before and after training. # la la la---_ before and after training. #lalala... ., ., .,, before and after training. #lalala... ., ., ., , ., # la la la... laying foundations for this success. _ # la la la... laying foundations for this success, the _ # la la la... laying foundations for this success, the manager, - # la la la... laying foundations for this success, the manager, who i # la la la... laying foundations for| this success, the manager, who has # la la la... laying foundations for. this success, the manager, who has a scaffolding business and offerfield is working for the club's new signing, a former premier league star who now has his own building company. i star who now has his own building coman . . . star who now has his own building com an _ ., ., ., star who now has his own building coman . ., ., ., ., company. i had a laugh earlier, lookin: company. i had a laugh earlier, looking pretty _ company. i had a laugh earlier, looking pretty while _ company. i had a laugh earlier, looking pretty while i _ company. i had a laugh earlier, looking pretty while i am i company. i had a laugh earlier, i looking pretty while i am getting dirty and slaving away.— looking pretty while i am getting dirty and slaving away. that's what ha--ens dirty and slaving away. that's what happens when _ dirty and slaving away. that's what happens when you _ dirty and slaving away. that's what happens when you use _ dirty and slaving away. that's what happens when you use scaffolding. dirty and slaving away. that's what i happens when you use scaffolding. it makes _ happens when you use scaffolding. it makes sense having, commended the 'ob makes sense having, commended the job for— makes sense having, commended the job for us, _ makes sense having, commended the job for us, we have a laugh and take that onto _ job for us, we have a laugh and take that onto the side as well.— that onto the side as well. bennett not a that onto the side as well. bennett got a wonder— that onto the side as well. bennett got a wonder goal— that onto the side as well. bennett got a wonder goal for— that onto the side as well. bennett got a wonder goal for blackburn i got a wonder goal for blackburn rovers in the fa cup and now is the perfect match, playing to his hometown club while getting into the

anything, you do it exactly the same and you should get the same results. good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty

and ben thompson. our headlines today: prime minister keir starmer has said the next few weeks and months could be crucial for the war in ukraine after holding talks with president biden at the white house. an 18—year—old is arrested on suspicion of murder after the death of three people at a flat in luton. two astronauts stranded in space until next year say they've learned to "expect the unexpected" as they wait to return to earth. eight days to eight months or nine months or ten months, whatever it is, we're going to do the very bestjob we can do every single day, because that is what the folks that do this type ofjob have to do. in sport, team europe have a mountain to climb in virginia. that's after the us built a record four—point lead going into the second day of the solheim cup. and after a chilly start in the south, the weather will be warming up south, the weather will be warming up over the next few days but we

still have some rain and wind in the north this weekend. i'll have all the details here on bbc breakfast. good morning, it's saturday 14 september. sir keir starmer says talks with president biden in washington have been "wide—ranging" and "productive", but wouldn't say whether he'd persuaded the us to allow ukraine to fire long—range missiles into russia. president zelensky has repeatedly called for permission to use the weapons on targets across the border. he claims it is the only way to end the war. our political editor, chris mason, has sent this report from the white house. i think the next few weeks and months could be crucial. what does president biden make of russia's threats against the west? i don't think much about them. this is the blue room of the white house, the president, the prime minister and their team spoke here for about an hour and a half.

the war in ukraine dominated the conversation. afterwards, sir keir starmer wouldn't be drawn on whether he had persuaded the president that authorising ukraine to fire western missiles at russia was a good idea. instead, he said... there's only one reason we're having these discussions and that's because putin has illegally invaded ukraine and the quickest way to resolve this, obviously, lies through what putin actually does. because it's for him to end this, but we are having the discussion, we've stood with ukraine, ukraine has a right to self defence, and we have stood united not just with our allies here in the us but across with our nato allies, that's very important to us. these are the long—range anglo—french missiles ukraine would love to fire into russia. the uk making the argument to allies it's a request that should be granted — they rely on american satellite systems to work.

you might ask why the prime minister has been so keen to dash here to visit a president who we know will be gone in just a few months�* time. his answer is there are urgent issues that need addressing now, not least this question of missiles. the president has been sceptical about ukraine being able to fire them into russia, fearing it would be dangerous. this is the reality of the war grinding on in ukraine, a country desperate for ongoing help — its allies weighing up how best to do it, and at what cost. chris mason, bbc news, in washington. let's speak to our ukraine correspondent james waterhouse. james, good morning, how is this meeting being viewed in ukraine? we have yet to hear anything official from we have yet to hear anything officialfrom president we have yet to hear anything official from president zelensky or his office, but there is a familiar

pattern here as far as kyiv is concerned. ukraine asks for a particular level of military support, the west says no over fears of escalation, ukraine's position worsens and then the west, in most situations, then concedes and gives the green light. as far as ukraine is concerned this is a continuation of that. there is clearly a frustration as you can see that in terms of having to repel russian attacks from the air from across the border. they are allowed to use western missiles to defend its own skies, they can launch them close to the border inside russia, what they want to do dearly is target russian airbases deep inside russia, where countless fighter jets take off unchallenged and drop glide bombs and missiles on ukrainian towns and cities. this is what ukraine desperately wants. if it was to get such permission, i don't think it would make a drastic difference in terms of the tide of this war, but

it would help ukraine defend its skies. that really is the belief here. we have had all the reports and expectations yesterday that we would see such an announcement, but has not materialised. we don't really know what was discussed in the white house, there are more discussions expected at the united nations next week but for ukraine the wait for that permission goes on and there is no let up in the fighting where its troops continue to struggle. fighting where its troops continue to stru: ule. . ., , fighting where its troops continue to struggle-— fighting where its troops continue to stru. ile. . ., , . ., ., , ., to struggle. james waterhouse, for now, to struggle. james waterhouse, for now. thank— to struggle. james waterhouse, for now. thank you- — to struggle. james waterhouse, for now, thank you. let's _ bring you up—to—date with the rest of the headlines. i am starting with a rather tragic story at the moment. an 18—year—old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after three people were found dead in a tower block in luton. all three victims were pronounced dead at the scene. our reporter vincent mcaviney has more. police were called to this 15—storey

tower block in luton at 5:30 on friday morning, after concerns for the welfare of someone in one of the flats. when they arrived, police found three people with serious injuries who were then pronounced dead at the scene. an 18—year—old man was arrested near the flats and a weapon was recovered. as a result of the inquiries we completed, at a very early stage, we have been able to identify and arrest an individual. the 18—year—old man is currently in custody at luton police station. some neighbours were too afraid to leave their flats yesterday, not knowing what was going on and whether they were safe. i woke up to my boys screaming in the morning and looking out the window, police everywhere with guns and my boys are screaming, nothing, couldn't imagine waking up to it. yeah, it's scary, it's not nice knowing that something's happened this serious, and we don't know what's happened. about 5:30 in the morning, - i heard the shouting and police

sirens, yeah, but from what i have. heard it's very gutwrenching to hear something like that on your doorstep, definitely. - not nice at all. very sad. - this is a nightmare because i'm a single mum, i have my coffee every morning on the balcony and i saw the police cars and everything and the nursery called me telling me the nursery will be closed today. sol so i couldn't drop him off either. bedfordshire police want to reassure residents that this was an isolated incident and there was no threat to the wider community. the victims have not yet been named. vincent mcaviney, bbc news. one of england's largest school academy trusts is set to become the first of its size to ban students from using mobile phones at school. ormiston academies trust says it's phasing out access to smartphones for around 35,000 pupils at its 44 state schools, because of what it calls the "catastrophic" impact on children's mental health and learning. pope francis has criticised both donald trump and kamala harris

when asked about the us presidential election. the pontiff made the comments when referring to the candidates' stances on abortion and migration, saying voters should choose the person they believed to be the "lesser of two evils" in november's election. a state funeral is being held today for the ugandan olympic marathon runner rebecca cheptegei, who was set on fire by herformer boyfriend. the 33—year—old died in hospital four days after the attack. doctors said she had suffered burns on more than 80% of her body which led to multi—organ failure. more than 750,000 people who are entitled to pension credits, but don't apply, will miss out on winter fuel payments this year. that's according to the department of work and pensions. the analysis into the impact of changes to the winter fuel payment suggests the over 80s will be hit hardest. let's speak to our political correspondent, rajdeep sandhu. rajdeep, what has been

the reaction to these findings? this is an interesting freedom of information request. it is very pointed considering the pressure the labour party is under to rethink its attitude to winter fuel payments. yes, we had that vote last week and the changes were voted through to restrict how many pensioners get the winter fuel allowance and link it to pension credit. there is this freedom of information request from the department of work and pensions who were asked for an impact assessment. the reason for that is the conservatives in prime minister 's questions, rishi sunak was asking repeatedly if the government had done a full impact assessment and whether it would publish it. that is the question that was ducked by the prime minister sir keir starmer in the last few days. in the —— he said there was not one, there was not a report sitting on his desk. now this freedom of information request shows not a full assessment but qualities

analysis showing what would happen, which pensioners would be hit hardest. it shows that 100,000 more pensioners could be persuaded to get on to pension credit and more than three quarters of a million of pensioners would be eligible for pensioners would be eligible for pension credit but would not be expected to make that claim, and that the over 80s would be the hardest hit. downing street would have hoped that when that vote happened this would be all put to rest but it does not seem like that will be the case. the conservatives are calling for a full impact assessment to be published, treasury is saying its focus is trying to get more pensioners to claim pension credit, but this story will run and run because as you say, the pressure continues. rajdeep sandhu, thank you. justin timberlake has warned people against drink driving in a public safety announcement he was ordered to make after pleading guilty to the offence. the pop star was also given a community service

but three months on, they're still in space. we have you loud and clear. this is their first press conference to answer questions about how they feel about being stuck in space. you asked what we miss, right? of course, you know, the things that we always miss, ourfamilies, i miss my two dogs, i miss my friends, but, you know what? like butch said, there are so many people on earth that are sending us messages and it makes you feeljust right at home. butch and suni left earth with leaks in the propulsion system. some of the thrusters cut out during docking. they arrived safely, greeted with the usual hugs. but engineers wanted to get to the bottom of the thruster problems before bringing them home. they never did, so do they feel let down by boeing, who made the starliner spacecraft? let down? absolutely not. we're pushing the edges of the envelope in everything that we do, and it is not easy.

starliner is now backing away from station. starliner returned to earth last week without butch and suni. boeing said it would be completely safe for them, but nasa overruled them, and the astronauts said for the first time that they agreed. we found some things that we just could not get comfortable with, putting us back in the starliner, when we had other options. we could have gotten to the point, i believe, where we could have returned on starliner, but we just simply ran out of time. butch and suni seem to be enjoying life on the space station. this is my happy place, i love being up here in space. it'sjust fun, you know. every day you do something that's "work". you can do it upside down. suni and butch are working with the rest of the space station crew with experiments, maintenance and...having fun. pallab ghosh, bbc news.

central and southern england and wales largely dry, plenty of sunshine, if you have not got it this morning it should develop. more cloud across northern england, eastern scotland, but it is western scotland and northern ireland that will see the rain moving in gradually. wind is picking up so gusts around 40 miles an hour or more. for most of us temperatures reasonably typical for the time of year, 16—20, cooler across the far north of scotland, particularly where you have the wind and rain. into the evening hours, cool and dry in the south, overnight we have a cloud and rain clearing from scotland and northern ireland but patchy rain affecting northern england in northern wales. he decided that it is looking dry up but it is again parts of southern england about see the lowest temperatures. getting into single figures but not as chilly as it has been over the past few nights. we still have this slow—moving weather front so cloudy for northern england and north wales, patchy outbreaks of rain, some heavy showers across

scotland but they will clear fairly quickly heading to the east so and improving data scotland and northern ireland, less windy than today, again it is southern and england that's see the warmest weather with a blue sky and light winds as well. high—pressure sits across the uk keeping the weather front at buyer with not many isobars around. looking large dry and settled in sunny on monday. some mist and fog lingering especially in the south but that will clear away so a decent —looking day all in all, not a lot of weather on the map for monday. we will see temperatures edging up. high is around 21 degrees or so for southern areas but typically looking at the high teens and further north will feel nice where you lose the breeze in the rain we have over the weekend. middle of the week, fronts close to the north of the uk but is high—pressure eases off towards the east you can see colours moving in and that is the warm air coming from the east or the south—east. largely

dry and settled for most of us during next week, just a bit of drizzle at times towards the west but temperatures are doing well. high teens into the low 20s and looking pretty pleasant i think. back to you both. you do need some summer. it is september. but you do need some summer. it is september-— you do need some summer. it is setember. �* , ., ., ,, , september. but this always happens. you aet a september. but this always happens. you get a nice — september. but this always happens. you get a nice weather— september. but this always happens. you get a nice weather later - september. but this always happens. you get a nice weather later in - september. but this always happens. you get a nice weather later in the i you get a nice weather later in the year. it you get a nice weather later in the ear. , ' , , , after their record—breaking sucess in the general election this summer, with 72 mps elected across the uk, the liberal democrats are in brighton today for their party conference. they say they will use their parliamentary strength to call for urgent measures to tackle the nhs crisis and improve social care, which was a key part of their campaign and manifesto. our political correspondent hannah miller has more. the lib dems are arriving in brighton in a mood that matches the weather. # sweet caroline... after celebrating their best ever general election results, the party is the third biggest in parliament. some of its members are here

as mps for the first time. the mood is so upbeat, it is so buoyant but we are really determined to get stuff done. the reason we fight in elections and we win elections is so we can achieve things for our community so i am excited to be talking about our plan fixing social care and the health service, and how we really represent our community to be that strong, determined opposition to the government and represent our community is the best possible way we can. the liberal democrats achieved record election results by pitching themselves in opposition to the conservatives. raising the question of what to do now that labour are in power. the party says it wants to offer a constructive opposition, challenging ministers on policies they don't like, such as the recent cut in the winter fuel allowance. and they want to use this platform to put forward their own ideas too. with a focus today on health and social care. fixing social care is going to be critical to helping the nhs. we have to help the nhs but we also have to get

social care back on its feet so we can get people out of hospital, back to work, get the economy growing again. and that was a bit of the elephant in the room when wes streeting was making his statement, it can't be done without fixing social care. and among the policies, could there be another stunt like those ed davey has become famous for? this is after all, the party that has proved it knows how to have a good time. hannah miller, bbc news, brighton. in the democrats spokesperson who will be with us hereon breakfast. brea kfast. during covid it became more common to orderfood shopping online and the trend has continued, whether it's for convenience, health reasons or because of transport issues. yet it seems the supermarkets are keeping the costs higher for online shoppers, making own—brand items unavailable, and charging them more than those who head in—store. our reporter simon spark has more.

and pensions, mp wendy chamberlain. thank you for being with us. tell me first of all about this feeling after the success. i first of all about this feeling after the success.— first of all about this feeling after the success. i think there will be many — after the success. i think there will be many opportunities - after the success. i think there will be many opportunities to i after the success. i think there - will be many opportunities to party but there will be serious policy here. the last time we won brighton was 2018 and i was not an mp then. but i am looking forward to welcoming my 57 your colleagues here. ~ ., here. we mentioned in the introduction _ here. we mentioned in the introduction the _ here. we mentioned in the introduction the liberal i here. we mentioned in the - introduction the liberal democrats now being the third biggest party in westminster. what does that mean, what does that look like in practical terms? what does that allow you to do? in practical terms? what does that allow you to do?— practical terms? what does that allow you to do? in practical terms the most visible _ allow you to do? in practical terms the most visible thing _ allow you to do? in practical terms the most visible thing them - allow you to do? in practical terms the most visible thing them as - allow you to do? in practical terms the most visible thing them as a i the most visible thing them as a public will see is giving two questions at pmq every week but it does mean we get more opportunity to respond and a few weeks after the conference recess we will have

control of the parliamentary timetable so we can bring forward certain issues that we campaigned passionately on. it we want to be a constructive opposition to the new government and hold them to account and compare that with what you see with the conservatives, i think we have a real opportunity to do so. i have a real opportunity to do so. i want to come to that in the moment about what it will allow you to do and how it may influence policy. i know you will describe the party, the liberal democrats as the party of the nhs and every part of britain. you have 72 mps but how can you live up to that claim? i britain. you have 72 mps but how can you live up to that claim?— you live up to that claim? i think what we do _ you live up to that claim? i think what we do is — you live up to that claim? i think what we do is campaigned - what we do is campaigned passionately for our communities and when you look at, for example, a report this week that spoke about the need for structural investment in the nhs even before the last election, a deputy leader was talking about the investment that was needed in hospital infrastructure and now we have 72 local campaigners who will have the opportunity to do just that. the labour government know that they need to make those kind of

investments and hope that they will work constructively with us because it is important to remember that although they have a big majority in terms of mps, they actually have been elected on a very small percentage of the overall vote share. so we have a real opportunity to make a case of what should be the priority of government. rime to make a case of what should be the priority of government.— priority of government. one of the bi issues priority of government. one of the big issues that _ priority of government. one of the big issues that has _ priority of government. one of the big issues that has come - priority of government. one of the big issues that has come to - priority of government. one of the big issues that has come to the i priority of government. one of the i big issues that has come to the fore in recent days is the winter fuel allowance. you say you will be the party of care. that winter fuel allowance issue, you may describe it as one of care for older people. you are not able to change the outcome of that, were you? file are not able to change the outcome of that, were you?— of that, were you? no but we made the government _ of that, were you? no but we made the government feel _ of that, were you? no but we made the government feel very _ the government feel very uncomfortable and it is quite clear that they are looking to the budget now at the end of october and they have created discontent within their own ranks as well. i think it is very important to remember that when we're talking about the winter fuel allowance the vast of people who are going to lose out not only that, the energy prices have increased exponentially in recent years and the energy price is going up. there

is a contradiction at the heart of the government policy because part of it is that they want to push people who are eligible into applying for pension credit which negates the fiscal saving that we want to make. sol negates the fiscal saving that we want to make. so i still hope that they will reconsider because that is what they claim to be doing. what would your policy be? our policy, our manifesto was to increase the fuel allowance. we set forward a fully costed manifesto at the general election and we spoke about the different tax raising powers that could be used, for example big bank surcharge, reversing cuts that the conservatives roared into place. but if we talk about the economy that the labour government says we want to grow and improve we need people to be fit in well and healthy and that is why our focus is absolutely on the nhs and social care, without fixing social care we will not see the efficiencies that we want to see in the nhs at that makes it better performing and

foot forward, i believe in my team and we have had a really good game plan for the week, obviously the us came out really strong today which we expected but there is a lot of golf left and you have to keep doing your best and one or two putts can make a whole lot of difference. in cricket we are set for a t20 decider tomorrow between another two great rivals after a thriller in cardiff, where england's men beat australia by three wickets to level the series at one game apiece. liam livingstone the star of the show. england were set a target of 194 to win, and livingstone's 87 got the hosts to the line before he lost his wicket, with just one run needed for victory. and after a nervy few moments, including the loss of the wicket of brydon carse, england's adil rashid scampered home for the winning run, to set up the winner takes all decider at old trafford tomorrow. to the davis cup in manchester, where the new star of british men's tennis, jack draper,

couldn't inspire a comeback against argentina as his first match since reaching the us open semifinals ended in defeat. the british number one was given an electrifying ovation, but the mood flattened as he went on to lose against francisco serundolo. draper's defeat meant britain missed the chance to reach the davis cup knockout stage at the earliest opportunity, and now are likely to need to beat canada tomorrow in what could be a nerve—shredding contest. in football, the premier league is back today after the international break, and the lunchtime game is a battle between two managers under pressure — russell martin's southampton, who are still searching for their first point, who welcome manchester united who are languishing in 14th. eric ten hag's team have lost their last two matches, including being humbled by liverpool a couple of weekends ago. they've found goals hard to come by, having scored just twice this season, but the boss insists they're creating chances and fans need to keep the faith.

meanwhile manchester city boss pep guardiola says he is glad the hearing into city's alleged breaches of the premier league's financial rules will begin on monday. city strongly deny all charges. on the pitch though, city welcome brentford to the etihad this afternoon — they were sat on top of the table during the international break, after an unblemished start, but guardiola is wary of the visitors who were the last side to beat them at home nearly two years ago. i don't remember against that game, he is a manager i admire greatly. it has always been tough here and this is no exception. it looks like lando norris, might need to find more than just support from his mclaren team—mate if he's to keep up his fight for the formula 1

world title in azerbaijan this weekend. the briton, who's 62 points behind championship leader max verstappen, struggled in friday practice. he could only manage 17th after getting held up by another driver on his fastest lap. way ahead of him was ferrari's charles leclerc who pipped sergio perez and lewis hamilton, to top the timesheets in baku. qualifying gets under way at one o'clock. iam i am having to push way too much to get a lap time out of it. clearly i think this is more where we are. i think this is more where we are. i think if we nail it we are about their but we are not close to nailing it yet. so we have a lot to find honestly, comparing to mercedes, ferrari and red bull they are very similarand mercedes, ferrari and red bull they are very similar and there is a good three orfour tenths gap are very similar and there is a good three or four tenths gap back to us. in athletics there was a surprise victory for britain's charlie dobson in the diamond league finale in brussels as he took the 400 metre ci’owi’i. the pre—race favourite had been another brit, matthew hudson—smith, but the olympic silver—medallist pulled up around the 100 metre mark and it was dobson who surged

through late on to snatch the diamond league title in a time of 44.49 seconds. dina asher—smith was just edged out in the women's 100 metre by olympic championjulien alfred, the saint lucian holding off a late charge from asher—smith to win in a time of 10.88 seconds. and in the absence of olympic champion keely hodgkinson, it was georgia bell who flew the flag in the 800 metres, finishing second behind mary moraa, after a typically strong finish from the kenyan. paralympics gb have celebrated their success at a homecoming event in birmingham. the team finished second in the medal table at paris 2024, ending with a total of 124 medals, including 49 golds. our reporter matt graveling has more. # i have to praise you... from paris to -a # i have to praise you... from paris to party time- _ # i have to praise you... from paris to party time. after— # i have to praise you... from paris to party time. after years _ # i have to praise you... from paris to party time. after years of - to party time. after years of training and discipline, this was an opportunity to celebrate. it

"it is good news that the princess of wales is coming of chemotherapy, however it should not be top of the news. the bbc needs to know not everyone supports the royal family to such a degree that anything or everything royal is soaked up by a fawning audience did it" but darryl merrill had a different perspective, having spotted headlines such as this. i strongly object to bbc news referring to the princess of ways to make wales just as kate. no referring to the princess of ways to make walesjust as kate. no matter what the story is. the bbc should be objective and impartial. there was more emotion on display in a moving report from our reporter in afghanistan shown on the late news bulletin on sunday. this is what an average morning looks like at the main hospital. hundreds from every corner and they fill every corner

and every passage as extreme poverty pushes more children into disease each day. zara, 13 months old. one of 3 million malnourished children in the country. randy davis enters this complement. the story on the starving children in afghanistan is eye—opening and so necessary. the spotlight must never dim on these conditions. thank you for your timely reporting. after the report had been shown, the presenter posed a question to the correspondent in kabul. given those heartbreaking images, one wonders what the international community is actually trying to do to improve the situation was to make the tell about not doing anything. chris walmsley picked up on some of the wording used there wondering should live miry be using the word ain't as he did during the ten o'clock news? financial decisions affecting the country's pensioners have been much

discussed this week with parliament voting on tuesday to restrict winter fuel payments to only the poorest pensioners rather than all of them as has been the case since 1997. amid some anger at that decision, the same date emerged about the new full state pension paid to those who reach pensionable age after april 2016 was expected to rise by £a60 a year from 2016 was expected to rise by £a60 a yearfrom next 2016 was expected to rise by £a60 a year from next april. 2016 was expected to rise by £a60 a yearfrom next april. that 2016 was expected to rise by £a60 a year from next april. that was covered by bbc television, like this. and in an online article headlined like this. but that was not the whole story is a number of viewers pointed out. one of them was james bradley and hejoins me now. james, thank you forjoining us. we havejust seen the james, thank you forjoining us. we have just seen the headlines saying that state pension set to rise by £a60 next year. why did you contact us about this? it is frustrating listening to this from both the bbc and the politicians where they keep saying that pensions will rise by

a00 and 60 next april. that is for the new state pension. it does not cover the people born before 1951 and 1953, the rise for the basic state pension is only going to be £350. 50 state pension is only going to be £350. so to be clear as you have been saying, three quarters of current pensioners will not get that full headline amount the we see. they will get £100 less and then there are other issues. what is your concern about the fact that the bbc gave that headline with the higher figure? pensioners are thinking, oh, we will get £a60. we will be better off. that is not the actual case. every time they come out with headlines like oh, you are going to be ok, listen, you are not going to be ok, listen, you are not going to be affected by the £300 fuel benefits that is being taken from you, this is not correct. i think it

is about time that the bbc and politicians actually tell the truth. james, what is this concern you? do you think gives a perception that all pensioners are rich? oh, yes. this is the whole idea. there are pensioners who have plenty of money, i cannot deny that. there are many people if you go back pre—1951, a lot of pensioners will not have any increase apart from the 350. do you think the bbc has insufficiently challenging than of the government's claims for these numbers? yes. there. they should actually be looking into it in depth. if the government is going to say something the bbc needs to do something and say to the government hold up, excuse me, i have what you are saying is correct? the bbc has

pointed out to us that in some of the news alerts that you get to your phone and in some of the news articles they have flagged up that that headline figure, the a60, was about the newer pensions and it is hard to get all the nuance across in a short headline. does that satisfy you? no. i'm not saying that. i have not seen any bbc say that this is a new state pension. i am interested, what is the basic state pension. i don't qualify, i was born in 1950. so, yes, i miss out. and a lot of people do not realise that, a lot of pensioners, they see these headlines oh, i am going to get £a60, no you are not. nobody is actually spelling out the differences in both the new state and the basic. what if the headline had set up to £a60 a year? would that have solved? that would

have been better, yes. it would stop people saying that this is great, we're going to get a60. up to a60. it implies that not everybody is going to get it. thank you so much. as mentioned, we asked bbc news for a response to the points james was making there. here is the statement they gave us. pensions in general including the old and new state pension and the additional state pension and the additional state pension are complex by their nature and there are nuances that can never be fully explained in a headline. in order to help audiences understand the information we created a specific explainer article and made sure our reports were clear on the differences between the new and old schemes. bbc news has a style guide advising journalists on points of terminology, spelling, punctuation and grammar as well as issues of accuracy, fairness and impartiality.

it is publicly available and deals with some pretty controversial issues such as how to describe aspects of the israeli—palestinian conflict and the wording to be used around sex and gender. while not quite on that scale, some of you may have views on the change announced this week. here it is. bbc news style is changing. from today we will not use simple honorifics when referring to politicians in bbc news digital out port. the relevant style guide entry has been adjusted. this guidance applies to how you refer to current and former politicians are elected and unelected at all levels in the uk and internationally. what that means is that in future you may be reading on the bbc website about sunak and trump rather than mr sunak and mrtrump. let sunak and trump rather than mr sunak and mr trump. let us know if you think that is a welcome development or not. we have mentioned in the past some problems associated with the red banner at the bottom of the screen on the news channel. viewer

david mark davis contacted us this week having seen this on the channel on wednesday night. you will see that most of the word news at the bottom of the screen is obscured by the new spa. and then there is the qr code box on the bottom right by which viewers can access live feeds on either story. in theory. david writes that i've just spotted a problem. your rolling news bar at the bottom of the screen cuts off the bottom of the screen cuts off the on—screen qr code making it unusable. i hope that this helps. thank you, david. we will see if the powers that be can finally address that. finally, transmission on the news channel has become more comp located recently with different streams running at the same time which means that the output delivered to international audiences goes to commercial breaks while domestic viewers are treated to, well... let's see what happened just before 1pm on monday. more news with me and the team news now at the top

of the hour. you are watching bbc news. over the next four minutes the news channel broadcast quite a lot of this. more than one minute of presenter checking her phone, her microphone switched off however. a rehearsal of the forthcoming headlines. a special report from inside afghanistan. a premature transmission of those headlines. 15 seconds of this. so sorry we are out of time. and then the end of an interview which is probably what we should have been watching all along. lucky k was not alone in wondering what happened to bbc news today. it suddenly went off air. bbc news told us that there was a human error on the production and operation side which meant that for a very short period of time the wrong feed was shown to audiences. thank you for

all your comments this week. if you want to share your opinions about what you see or hear on bbc news, on tv radio online or on social media, e—mail us at the address on screen. or you can e—mail us at the address on screen. oryou canfind e—mail us at the address on screen. or you can find us on x. you can call us and have a look at previous interviews on our website. that is all from us for now. thank you for joining us. to think about getting in touch and perhaps even coming on the programme. we will be back to him more of your thoughts about how the bbc covers the news next week. goodbye.

according to new announcements on the department for work and pensions. two

this is the blue room. the president premised on their team spoke here for about one point five hours. the war in ukraine dominated conversation. afterwards, so care would not be drawn on whether he

well, there's only one reason we're having these discussions, and that is because putin has illegally invaded ukraine. and the quickest way to resolve this obviously lies through, you know, what putin actually does, because it's for him to end this. but we are having the discussion. we've stood with ukraine. ukraine has a right to self—defence. and we've stood united, notjust with our allies here in the us, but across with our nato allies. that's very, very important to us. these are the long range anglo—french missiles. ukraine would love to fire into russia, the uk making the argument to allies. it's a request that should be granted. they rely on american satellite systems to work. you might ask why the prime minister has been so keen to dash here, to visit a president who we know will be gone in just a few months time.

his answer is there are urgent issues that need addressing now, not least this question of missiles. the president has been sceptical about ukraine being able to fire them into russia, fearing it would be dangerous. this is the reality of the war grinding on in ukraine, a country desperate for ongoing help, its allies weighing up how best to do it and at what cost. chris mason, bbc news, in washington. we've yet to hear anything official. we set ukraine asks for a particular level of military support. as far as as faras ukraine as far as ukraine is concerned, this is merely a continuation of that. there is clearly frustration as far

as ukraine is concerned. they are allowed to use western missiles to defend their own skies. they can launch them close to the border in russia. but what they want to do is launch them towards bases deep inside russia, where countless fighterjet take—off inside russia, where countless fighter jet take—off unchecked. inside russia, where countless fighterjet take—off unchecked. this is what ukraine wants. if it was to get permission, i don't think it would make much of a difference... we had all the reports we had all the expectations that we would have such an announcement. that hasn't materialised. we don't know what was discussed in the white house... the wait for that permission goes on.

now let's turn our attention to the other main headlines. more than three quarters of a million people who are entitled to pension credits, but don't apply, are going to miss out on winter fuel payments this year. the analysis into the impact of the changes suggest that the over 80s will be hit hardest. we know this is a big political hot potato, so to speak. the labour party is defending its decisions, and other parties are putting pressure on it to change its course.— parties are putting pressure on it to change its course. yes. we saw the bi

health, and other things. the treasury has said that its focus now is on more pensioners claiming pension credit, so that anyone who is entitled to get that extra. this pressure will continue. downing street would have hoped that it would have stopped after the vote. but given that we are approaching winter and we are going to see pensioners who are going to miss out on this pension credit, i think the pressure was only going to continue. pope francis has criticised both president trump and kamala harris. the pontiff made the comments on their stances on abortion and migration. saying that the voters should choose the lesser of two evils when choosing who to vote for in the election. the 33—year—old

our science correspondent pallab ghosh reports. butch and suni blasted off for the international space station at the beginning ofjune. it was an eight—day mission. but three months on, they're still in space. we have you loud and clear. this is their first press conference to answer questions about how they feel about being stuck in space. you ask what we miss, right? of course, you know, the things that we always miss, our families, i miss my two dogs, i miss my friends, but, you know what? like butch said, there are so many people on earth that are sending us messages and it makes you feeljust right at home. butch and suni left earth with leaks in the propulsion system. some of the thrusters cut out during docking. they arrived safely, greeted with the usual hugs. but engineers wanted to get to the bottom of the thruster problems before bringing them home. they never did, so do

they feel let down by boeing, who made the starliner spacecraft? let down? absolutely not. we're pushing the edges of the envelope in everything that we do and it is not easy. starliner is now backing away from station. starliner returned to earth last week without butch and suni. boeing said it would be completely safe for them, but nasa overruled them, and the astronauts said, for the first time, that they agreed. we found some things that we just could not get comfortable with, putting us back in the starliner, when we had other options. we could have gotten to the point, i believe, where we could have returned on starliner, but we just simply ran out of time. butch and suni seem to be enjoying life on the space station. this is my happy place, i love being up here in space.

it'sjust fun, you know. every day you do something that's "work". you can do it upside down. suni and butch are working with the rest of the space station crew with experiments, maintenance and...having fun. pallab ghosh, bbc news. we see sarah now with the weather, we have been looking at your picture sarah, and trying to guess where it is. i'm going north, because i thought i saw a structure in the background. then you spotted the houses then. background. then you spotted the houses then-—

one of england's largest school academy chains is set to become the first of its size to ban mobile phones the ormiston academies trust says it's started phasing out access to smartphones for its 35—thousand students during the school day — because of what it calls the "catastrophic" impact on children's mental health and learning. it comes as research from the regulator 0fcom found that nearly a quarter of children aged between five and seven in the uk have their own smartphones ? with access to games, apps, and social media. and they re using social media more, with nearly two in five from that age group saying they have accounts. that s up nearly 10 per cent from the year before. the most popular app is whatsapp, followed by tiktok and then instagram. that s despite the minimum age to use all three being 13. some parents in shropshire are concerned smartphones could be bad for their children's development so they've decided to test out phones that have no

access to the internet. our reporter, joanne writtle has been to meet them. in the 80s, yuppies posed with huge mobile phones. but no—one was glued to screens. in fact, their phones didn't even have screens, they were purely for making calls. imagine that! fast forward to today and ten—year—old twins imogen and toby and their pals are going retro. they have feature phones which are basically a smaller version of the old brick phone with no access to the internet. we can call and text loads and it's really good. there are games and you can call and you can text, but there isn't any internet. at first, ijust generally didn't want one because i thought everyone was going to make fun of me. everyone is going to think i'm just weird for having one. at first, i was a bit, like, really angry atj mum but now i really like it as now i basically all my friends have one. i when i found out that my friends got

one, that made me happy because i knew i could... i said to my mum, "0h, can i have one?" and she was like, "sure." so, instead of scrolling through social media, they spent more time playing at home in shrewsbury. their parents are part of a growing movement called smartphone free childhood. this movement is not aboutjudging parents who have made decisions in the past when they didn't have enough information available to them. harry has a feature phone and it's worth about £50. rather than an iphone which is six or £700. the group wants parents to sign a pact not to buy their children smartphones until they are 1a. there are more than 120,000 members across the country. you don't want them to be bullied for not having a smartphone, but, at the same time, you don't want to expose them to all of the risks that come with smartphones. it is the exposure to harmful content, it is the addictive element of smartphones.

the children here are happy with their internet free—phones, but tess admits the reaction wasn't great initially. because nobody else had a feature phone at that time and it was, "mum, "it's not fair." her hope is that simpler phones will become a social norm for children under 1a. we can speak now to tom bennett, who's a behaviour advisor for the department for education, and doctor maryhan munt, a child psychologist and parenting expert. when you see children who have spent too much time on their phones, what is the impact it had on them? particularly when we talking about really young children, the brain is very plastic in those early years,

and the brain doesn't fully mature until about 2a. so in essence what you're doing with that plasticity is your hard—wiring this need for constant seeking of novelty. you're setting up an operating system for the future that is built on that. children are reporting about 250 notification throughout the day. so if you've got that constant nudging to respond to things, it really doesn't allow them to have that typical childhood of interacting much more with real life, in a real live person scenario. and there are almost slaves to these devices. europe behave meant adviserfor education education, what are you seeing that is changing, that is not for the better, and how will removing start phones change that?

england were set a target of 19a to win, and livingstone's 87 got the hosts to the line before he lost his wicket, with just one run needed for victory and after a nervy few moments, including the loss of the wicket of brydon carse, england's adil rashid, scampered home for the winning run, to set up the winner takes all, decider at old trafford, tomorrow. on to tennis, and great britain suffered a big blow, suffered a big blow in their bid to reach, november's, knock out stage, of the davis cup finals after losing to argentina, in their second, group stage match. they lost both singles matches, at the event in manchester. but they did manage to win the doubles and still go through if they can beat canada tomorrow, but as for the singles, it wasn't to be forjack draper, playing for the first time the moment manchester had waited for. great britain playjack the moment manchester had waited for. great britain play jack draper. he did not have the easiest hand, the great hope arrived with his team won much behind in the davis cup tie

against argentina and facing francisco cerundolo, in light blue, inspired. right from the first point, he hunted jack draper. then seized the set in a tie—break. jack draper had worked hard to be fit after his run to the us open semifinals, there were glimpses of what he showed the world in new york, but his light only cycad, the racket once an instrument of despair, then of loving care. francisco cerundolo was waiting, not worried by being unpopular, in the 12th game, he sensed his moment to conquerjack draper and manchester. a victory for over the british. he was a victory for over the british. was trumped, his homecoming a victory for over the british— was trumped, his homecoming turned into someone else's party. in football, the premier league is back today, after the international break,

and the lunchtime game is a battle between 2 managers under pressure. russell martin's southampton, who are still searching for their first point, welcome manchester united, who are languishing in 1ath... eric ten hag's team, have lost their last 2 matches, including being humbled by liverpool, a couple of weekend's ago they've found goals hard to come by, having scored just twice this season, but the boss insists they're creating chances and fans need to keep the faith. meanwhile, manchester city boss pep guardiola, says he is glad the hearing into city's alleged breaches of the premier league's financial rules will begin on monday. city strongly deny all charges. on the pitch though, city welcome brentford to the etihad this afternoon — they were sat on top of the table, during the international break, after an unblemished start, but guardiola is wary of the visitors, who were the last side, to beat them, at home nearly two years ago. the other team, who have taken maximum points from their opening 3 matches are liverpool — they host nottingham forest later. their winning start has been built on a solid defence —

3 clean sheets to start with, and manager arne slot says that it has been a collective effort. it is not the defence to keep a clean sheet, it has 11 players who keep a clean sheet, and that is why we convince them constantly about this. in an ideal world, the idlewild is not there, against united, we needed him a few times, against brentford we needed him. championship leaders sunderland will be hoping they can maintain their perfect start to season, when they take on wayne rooney's plymouth argyle this afternoon. while sheffield united who were relegated from the premier league at the end of last season are up to third for the moment. that's after they beat hull city 2—0 last night. gus hamer and sam mccallum scored the goals. the chances of northern ireland hosting matches, at the euro 2028 football tournament appear to have gone. the uk government says it

won't provide funding, towards the rebuilding casement park stadium in belfast, after the projected cost rose to more than a hundred million pounds. it also said there was a "significant risk" the stadium wouldn't be built in time. the ulster gaa called it bitterly disappointing while the irish fa said it will "consider the implications of this with our bid partners and uefa. there's a busy afternoon ahead for women's rugby union internationals with ireland taking on australia and scotland playing fiji, and also at 2.30, a clash between the world number one team england, and the world champions new zealand. the visitors were the last side to beat england, securing a dramatic victory at their home world cup in 2022. that painful defeat has fuelled england to go on a 16—game winning run and they do have a habit of beating their great rivals outside of world cups, but not when it comes to lifting the holy grail itself and a year out from the next world cup, england need to find a way of changing that trend. wigan warriors thrashed

leeds rhinos by 38—0, to maintain their lead at the top of the rugby league, superleague table. bevan french scored 2 of their seven tries, at the brick community stadium. the warriors still need to win their remaining to win their remaining regular season game at home to salford red devils next week, to be certain of lifting the league leaders' shield. in the night's other matches hull kingston rovers beat leigh leopards to remain 2 points behind wigan. and st helens beat castleford tigers. a frustrating start in azerbaijan for britain's lando norris, as he tries to keep alive the race for the formula one world title, this weekend. the briton, who's 62 points behind championship leader max verstappen, struggled in friday practice. he could only manage 17th, after getting held up by another driver on his fastest lap. way ahead of him was ferrari's charles leclerc who pipped sergio perez and lewis hamilton, to top the timesheets in baku. qualifying gets underway at one o'clock. now for professional clubs, the fa cup is still far

from their thoughts in this early part of the season. but for teams lower down the footballing pyramid, the world famous competition is already helping them to live the dream. take for example, shifnal town fc, from the midlands league. today they play in their ath fa cup game of the season. they've had preliminary rounds and then today its second qualifying round weekend, and a match against redditch united. ive been to shifnal, a small market town in shropshire to find out more. ? you know you are in the lower reaches of non—league football when the neighbours have the best use and there are picnic benches behind the goalfor the hundred and there are picnic benches behind the goal for the hundred and 55 to come along. but these days, these part—time minnows from the ninth tier are making you headlines. hot off the press at the club was macon printing works. they have already won three fa cup matches this season, to reach the second official

live from london, this is bbc news. the leaders of the united states and britain have ended talks at the white house, with no public change to their policy of blocking ukraine's use of long—range western missiles against russia. a former chief executive of the us chain abercrombie and fitch, faces further allegations of sexually exploiting men at events he hosted around the world. and with london fashion week well under way, we speak to some of the ukrainian designers showcasing their work on the catwalk this year.
