hello, i'm sarah mulkerrins at the bbc sport centre. we'll start with the sad news from the world of football that 1990 world cup hero salvatore �*toto�* schillaci has died at the age of 59. the italian scored six goals to win the golden boot at the world cup. italy lost in the semi—finals on home soil, but schillaci was also awarded the golden ball as the best player and gained hero status. he was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2022. domestically, schillaci helped juventus to claim the coppa italia and uefa cup in 1990 before winning the latter trophy again four years later with inter milan. serie a described him as "a champion who lit up the magical nights of the 1990 world cup in italy".

what makes him so different was he was _ what makes him so different was he was considered a mere mortah _ he was considered a mere mortah a— he was considered a mere mortal. a man was described as not the — mortal. a man was described as not the most handsome or talented but he won his place in italian _ talented but he won his place in italian hearts for all that he did _ in italian hearts for all that he did in_ in italian hearts for all that he did in 1990 and those magical nights in the world cup — magical nights in the world cup he _ magical nights in the world cup. he wasjust a man who always— cup. he wasjust a man who always lived four goals. he fought— always lived four goals. he fought so hard to score each one — manchester city begin their champions league campaign later when italian champions inter milan visit the etihad. midfielder rodri says players are close to going on strike in protest due to the increase in games. along with the larger champions league, city will play in the expanded club world cup next year. rodri has sympathy from former city keeperjoe hart. he's just saying that, at some point, they will have to stand up for themselves. because they are answering questions, it is a lot of football and when you're in the game and so focused on winning and being your best every day, the format doesn't really allow for that. at the moment, i have no doubt it looks daunting. if you put it on paper

and you see, i will ask you to play 65 games and play for your country this season, you will say no. your body cannot withstand that. i'm sure that, from what i know, people are trying to look at welfare. it's notjust the money men at the top or the tv channels saying, "we don't care, get on that pitch and entertain us," so there's plenty more things going on in the background. manchester city against inter milan is one of six matches kicking—off later. elsewhere, bologna make their champions league debut at home to shakhtar donetsk. slovan bratislava also play in the champions league for the first time at celtic. while spanish side girona's first european match in the club's history is at french giants paris saint—germain. roma have sacked manager daniele de rossi just four games into the new serie a season. de rossi's appointment in january initially led to an upturn in fortunes, with roma climbing the table to qualify for the europa league. but this season they've failed to win and sit

16th in the table. roma in a stament thanked their former midfeilder for his "passion and dedication". six time 0lympic medallist laura kenny has called on the commonwealth games organisers to prioritise non—0lympic sports when the games come to glasgow in 2026. the scottish city will host a scaled—back edition of the games after taking over from the australian state of victoria. as few as 10 sports could make the cut. i just hope that they take into consideration non—0lympic sports, because the commonwealths, for the likes of netball, are the only light they really get shone on them. i hope it is done in a way that is fair, i guess. the olympics is huge and that is where lots of people will watch, but ultimately the commonwealth games for a lot of these sports is their 0lympics.

there is more from laura kenny on the bbc sport website. that is the sport for now. for decades politics in sri lanka has been dominated by one family. but many blame this political dynasty for the economy's collapse in 2022, seeing it as the result of decades of financial mismanagement. saturday's presidential elections are the first since mass protests. the country's leaders of office and people are hoping this could the beginning of a new era. the latest member of the family to enter the presidential race. he says he can be somebody new. his family has a long history in sri lanka. most notably for syncing the island nation into a crushing economic crisis. the family is blamed for sri

hello. there is a lot more blue sky and september sunshine to come in the forecast and while it's come in the forecast and while its warm across the board with temperatures above the seasonal average, is particularly warm in northern scotland and across northern ireland. these were some of the high temperatures recorded yesterday so 25 degrees in aberdeenshire, the average for the time of year is just 17. we are expecting something similar again later on this afternoon. a lot of sunshine as you can see on the

map. more cloud towards the north sea facing coast. quite a key north—easterly wind blowing from the north sea into east anglia in south—east england. these will be the highs today so the mid 20s the northern scotland and may be down towards the south—east of finland as well. high pressure remains very much in charge over the next few days. it starts to drift its way eastwards though. quite a keen easterly wind blowing across southern england. we are going to see more low cloud blowing from the north sea so nicky started the day here in the eastern facing coast. out towards the north and the west they could be more fog and mist developing into tomorrow morning and quite a range of temperatures. mildest towards the south. 131a celsius here. they will be a lot of low cloud around and some mist and fog into tomorrow morning and again that will slowly turn back to these eastern facing coast but towards these north sea facing coast some of the cloud could

linger on so the best of the sunshine probably out towards the west on thursday. we could still get to 25 or 26 celsius across parts of south—east england. 23 or 2a in north—west scotland. a small chance of a shower or two on thursday but a greater chance on friday as we started drawing more unstable air from the south. still a keen easterly wind and still some cloudy conditions but watch out for heavy downpours across southern and western parts as we head through friday afternoon. generally still drive further north where the sunshine will continue out towards the west. all change over the weekend. low pressure moves on from the south and it will turn quite unstable so more showers particularly told southern areas on saturday and again on sunday but drier further north.
