time for a look at the weather, here's elizabeth rizzini. thank you, sophie. a very wet month in deed across the south of the uk, the southern half of the uk. the last day of totting up all of the figures in parts of oxfordshire have seen the wettest. oxfordshire as a whole has seen its wettest september on record and some places have not just recorded their wettest september on record but the wettest month on record, and here are some other sports that has seen three or four times their average september rainfall. of course another —— some other spots. a wet and windy day for some of us. flood warnings in place, mostly across central and north—western areas of england. the ground already saturated. could be more flooding into the river is of course and this is the radar picture showing where we have had the heaviest of downpours today. you can see the heavy rain just swirling around and it will gradually sink further south and east words of the night tonight. stillsimmering further south and east words of the night tonight. still simmering for central and eastern areas. some of the heaviest of the rain across

central and southern england, strong gusty winds towards the north sea coast but towards the north and west turning largely dry, clear skies and locally quite a chilly start to the day tomorrow for some out towards the north and west. underneath the cloud and rain of course it is mild and this is the position of the low pressure heading through tuesday. gusty winds towards these eastern facing coasts and some of that brain drifting little further westward at times. i think generally out towards the north and west, down to northern ireland, western scotland, parts of wales and south—west england, it is looking dry and temperatures will be rising, 15—17 celsius and the best of the sunshine. then high pressure starts to drift down from the north. for all of us, a much better looking picture heading to wednesday, thursday and friday but business as usual into the weekend. thanks, elizabeth, and that's bbc news at six. now its time to join our colleagues for the news where you are — goodbye.

hello and welcome to sportsday — no shelterfor ten hag, he's been given time by manchester united, but how much after another heavy defeat chesela's women should have been playing manchester united next sunday in the wsl, but who's to blame for their match being postponed 7 all change at hampshire, with county cricket set to get its first foreign owners at the cricket club that we managed to save in 2000, it has substantial backing. also coming up on sportsday... there's joy for ireland, with a statement win to stun the world champions new zealand and the rise of great

britain's sonay kartal , with a debut tour title and a place in the top 100, i think it is only going to be a matter of time be formant to the practice court to the actual court. evening, it feels like this is a story we've told before on a monday, a ten hag ground hog day, a bad defeat over the weekend, 3—nil at home to spurs this time, the club telling us that its business as usual, they are focussing on the upcoming matches this week, away to porto on thursday night in europe, then they're at villa park on sunday, before the international break, is there then the chance that yesterday's defeat could be the erik ten hag's last at old trafford. ben croucher reports. when it rains in manchester, it pours. when it rains in manchester, it ours. �* ., ., when it rains in manchester, it ours. ., ., ., pours. booze ring around or trafford. — pours. booze ring around or trafford, manchester - pours. booze ring around or| trafford, manchester united pours. booze ring around or- trafford, manchester united beaten and for them, it is the worst start

close to the bottom that they are to the top already and it's there were starter premier league season and football did not begin and you have to go back to 1986 for a poor start and a wasteful time in front of goal in the southampton scored what the call big chances and just look at their next five games, tricky trips to west ham injose mourinho in brentford at home and before the international break, a way to porto and a way to aston villa, could he get worse before it gets better? feels as though we are going to go through more losses, more changing of managers and that sort of thing before we come out of the other side of this and unless somehow we can plough to losses in the next two victories in the next two games and turn the fortunes around but it does look like it's going to get worse before it gets better. if look like it's going to get worse before it gets better. i! it look like it's going to get worse before it gets better.— look like it's going to get worse before it gets better. if it feels a little isolating _ before it gets better. if it feels a little isolating being _ before it gets better. if it feels a little isolating being united - before it gets better. if it feels a little isolating being united fan, | little isolating being united fan, just cast your mind back a few

sang again and talk about the importance of the leadership group and they're all in it together and mentioning that word, time, let's cross live to old trafford and speak to our sports editor dan roan. time we are told, dan, erik ten hag will be given time, but that could be days, weeks, months. a lot depends on these next two matches against porto in the europa league and thursday, back in the league in very tough fixture and for aston villa next sunday, i think those two don't go erik ten hag's way, it will be surprising if this is the last few days of his tenure. such of that defeat to spurs and remarkably, the second successes of the premier league and the three

goals — zero in a month ago, it was that day that the manchester united chief executive said that his manager retain the full backing of the senior leaderships here at or trafford include those words come back to haunt him and performances and results being as poor as they were and it does have this sense of deja vu in a recurring theme developing because last year, of course, erik ten hag led manchester united to the worst finish in the premier league as a eighth position in the summer, they came close to sacking him they had a very close look at thomas frank, the managers and they decide to stick with them and they decide to stick with them and infecting their wisdom to extend the contract by another year as well, i think that will come under renewed scrutiny now, given the fact that they find themselves languishing down in 12th place, seven points the worst start of the six masses in the premier league

history —— six matches. scoring fewer goals the manchester united at this season, they desperately need two victories in the next few days and if that does not happen with the international break happening, that would give united the time, brad steph a very close look. you saw those faces in the directors box, next to dan and the director of football and jason wilcox as well and the brains trust, the top of the hierarchy now hear it or trafford and the part that sticking united, the new co—owner and more likely to change the environment rather than the management and has done that now it's been an overhaul in the executive team and the scrutiny will fall on the manager.— fall on the manager. more big decisions to _ fall on the manager. more big decisions to be _ fall on the manager. more big decisions to be made - fall on the manager. more big - decisions to be made never-ending decisions to be made never—ending manchester united on the football side of things. many thanks,.

it's the europa league for manchester united on thursday. before that, we've got 18 champions league fixtures over two nights. the standout match is at the emirates tomorrow with arsenal facing psg. the gunners had a less than inspiring start in europe, a goaless draw away at atalanta earlier this month. the french champions pose perhaps the biggest test in this first league phase of the competition, and mikel arteta knows all about his opposite number, luis enrique. they are former team—mates at barcelona. of course, we want to win the game enjoying with the number of games that we've had with atalanta, it will be decided tomorrow and yeah, we want to do the best for our club and every competition, you can imagine in his career, and underhand, achievement. —— under

him. manchester city are also playing tomorrow night. like arsenal, they were held to a goalless draw in their opening match a fortnight ago. that was against inter milan. they trained in manchester today before heading to slovakia to face slovan bratislava, who lost 5—1 in their first game to celtic. they are also playing tomorrow away at borussia dortmund. shows displaying real madrid and they've had to postpone the game because it would seem the women super league hadn't factored in the possibility that chelsea would be playing in europe two days later. joe curry is here to explain a little bit more and it seems to be huge oversight, this and there really is no wiggle room for this fixture? �* , . , really is no wiggle room for this fixture? �* , ., , ., ., really is no wiggle room for this fixture? �*, ., , ., ., ,, fixture? it's a bit of a mess. the fixtures are _ fixture? it's a bit of a mess. the fixtures are set _ fixture? it's a bit of a mess. the fixtures are set for _ fixture? it's a bit of a mess. the fixtures are set for this -

knew there was a chance that one of these teams will be playing a european title on tuesday and so, why have you scheduled all the fixtures on sunday, one of them would've played on saturday and it's important to point out that the principles not rules could've been more flexible in their choosing not to be. chelsea and the fixtures with the push back to saturday and united were reluctant to do this because they have a cup game on wednesday and they did not want to play three games in seven days and at this point come only option is to postpone. point come only option is to postpone-— point come only option is to --ostone. ., , ., _ , postpone. the one small mercy is the name on postpone. the one small mercy is the game on sunday _ postpone. the one small mercy is the game on sunday was _ postpone. the one small mercy is the game on sunday was not _ postpone. the one small mercy is the game on sunday was not scheduled . postpone. the one small mercy is the | game on sunday was not scheduled for stanford bridge and that would've been an inconvenience from many, many more thousands of supporters of the rest to be some fallout from this. , ~ ., ., ., ., ., i: i: i: this. kings meadow had around 5000 it was a sell-out _ this. kings meadow had around 5000 it was a sell-out and _ this. kings meadow had around 5000 it was a sell-out and fence _ this. kings meadow had around 5000 it was a sell-out and fence bought. it was a sell—out and fence bought tickets and presumably they would potentially lose money but they're

not very happy understandably from both sets of fans, they lost out on a big we can fixture at the moment, no one knows when this game is going to be rescheduled because chelsea would be playing in four different competitions in their fixture list is already congested and no one knows when this game is going to be rescheduled because chelsea would be playing in four different competitions in their fixture list is already congested and knowing those are this happened and taking over the running of this a couple of months ago in big lessons to be learned there and why is the draw only be made ten days before the start of the games and why weren't you a far more flexible in the one thing anyone can actually agree on is player welfare has to come first and something has to give. atletico madrid say they are working with police to identify the fans who threw objects onto the pitch forcing the derby against real madrid to be stopped for over 20 minutes last night. the real keeper thibaut courtois was targeted by a section of atleti's supporters positioned behind his goal in the second half at the wanda metropolitana stadium. the atletico manager diego simeone

pleaded with the fans to stop, one of them confronting defender jose maria gimenez before the players were taken off. the match eventually finished 1—1 with an injury time equaliser from atleti. one of the players on the pitch last night, atletico's antoine griezmann, has brought to an end his ten—year international career with france. the 33—year—old forward won 137 caps, third in france's all—time list behind hugo lloris and lilian thuram. he won the world cup in 2018, scoring in the final against croatia, one of his 44 goals for his country. he also played in the 2022 world cup final. he says it's now time "to turn a page and hand over to the new generation". there's still nothing to separate ineos brittania and the italians luna rossa in the final of the louis vuitton cup.

it's now 3—3 after today's two races off the coast of barcelona. ben aisnlie's brittania edged ahead in the best—of—seven contest winning the first race of the day, butjust as they did in yesterday's, luna rossa, skippered by ainslie's great rivaljimmy spithill, roared back with a comfortable victory in the second. they race again tomorrow. the eventual winner will face new zealand in the america's cup that starts on the 12th of october. records have tumbled in kanpur after india made up for lost time in the second test. two days had been lost to rain, but after bowling bangladesh out for 233, india's batters approached the fourth day like a t20 as they launched into bangladesh with some ferocious hitting, notching record after record after record. the first 50 came off three overs, a test record. yashasvyi jaiswal set the tone with a rapid 72. he was there as they reached 100 off 10.1 overs, another record. virat kohli and kl rahul kept up

the run rate as india were also quickest to 150, 200 and 250 runs. they finally declared on 285—9 and picked up two wickets by the close as well, which means a result mightjust be possible on the final day. bangladesh trailing by 26 runs, with india looking to complete a 2—0 series win. hampshire will become the first county cricket side to come under foreign ownership. the gmr group, part owners of the indian premier league franchise delhi capitals, have agreed "a phased acquisition" that includes the cricket side of the business, the stadium and connected leisure facilities. the current group chair at hampshire told me that the full takeover will be completed in two years. what it means to our members and supporters is that the cricket club but we managed to save in 2000 is

now reassured of a long—term future with substantial backing and the stadium that we've built up to be a test match stadium in the hosting stadium is going to have the resources to continue to develop and become an even bigger international presence and so, i don't see many losers in this transaction. b, presence and so, i don't see many losers in this transaction.- losers in this transaction. a big infrastructure _ losers in this transaction. a big infrastructure away _ losers in this transaction. a big infrastructure away from - losers in this transaction. a big infrastructure away from the i losers in this transaction. a big infrastructure away from the cricket matters in the group chairman of that, it was there any reservations from the cricket side of things of foreign investors coming in and perhaps having the best interests of the core activity there that is the cricket, the women's game in the grassroots game and everything? indie grassroots game and everything? we are grassroots game and everything? - are absolutely convinced that gmr and they are passionate about cricket and equally we didn't want anyone to come in and disrupt the structure of cricket management we've had a number of people who are interested in getting involved but who wanted to run the cricket were

treated as a train set for something like that, that was not appealing to us at all but what we did like about gmr is that they are invested heavily in women's cricket and they really were up for developing the female version of the game but we have to remember that the rest of the business which funds the cricket, we want to continue to develop the venue to be an international stadium worthy of staging test matches and more and to keep the hotel as a 4—star destination hotel. so, all of those can be achieved with this relationship.— can be achieved with this relationshi. ., ., ., ., . relationship. you have a match cominu relationship. you have a match coming up _ relationship. you have a match coming up in — relationship. you have a match coming up in exciting - relationship. you have a match coming up in exciting times - relationship. you have a match| coming up in exciting times are ahead. this would be a phased takeover over a couple of years we often reminded of the fragile nature often reminded of the fragile nature of finances and county cricket. was this vital for the future of hampshire, do you feel? i this vital for the future of hampshire, do you feel? i think it is a hue

of all who knew him. retiring the number 33 shirt, for the first time in our club's history, ensures his memory and contributions are never forgotten. his legacy will continue to inspire future generations." in rugby union, there was an incredible result for irelands women, beating the world champions new zealand in their opening match at the wxv1 competition, the annual touranment for the top women's sides. they won 29—27 in vancouver, securing the bonus point win with a converted try in the final minute. mark sidebottom reports. millimetres away and it is given! singh ireland dethroned rugby's all—black royals. and at the parade, the conversion towards the heavens, and with that, the roads champions had been beaten. for

up. imagine the premier league tonight 0ne premier league match, the south coast derby, bournemouth vs southampton. a win for bournemouth would see them move above manchester united up to 11th. saints need a win to move out of bottom three. for me and the rest of the team. good night. hello. this september has seen some extreme rainfall across parts of england. south newington's in oxfordshire, and here we've had 243 millimetres of rain, over four times the september average and not far off double the previous rainfall record. there are a number of sites across the south midlands that have seen record rainfall this september. that's resulted in, of course, lots of flooding. another day, another downpour, and this time it was northern england bearing the brunt. liverpool's roads and pavements heading underwater. the area of low pressure responsible is going to be with us

through much of the night, bringing outbreaks of rain and some strong winds for east anglia. we could see gusts here running into the 50s of miles an hour, so a particularly blustery, blowy kind of night. the winds probably strong enough to bring down one or two tree branches. could be a little bit of localised disruption heading into tuesday. the same area of low pressure, slow—moving, will continue to bring the wet and windy weather in across eastern areas of england. the strongest winds will begin to ease down as we head into the afternoon, but the best of the weather will be for scotland, northern ireland, parts of wales and western fringes of england as well, where you can look forward to a much drier kind of day with a bit more in the way of sunshine. now, temperatures may range from around 13—17 degrees. now, over the next days, we're going to see a big change in our weather pattern as high pressure becomes established across the uk, and this looks to bring us a much quieter spell of weather. heading into wednesday,

most areas will have a dry day. could be a few mist and fog patches around, and it will be a chilly start to the morning with temperatures down into single figures, about four degrees in the coldest parts in scotland. we'll still have the dribs and drabs of that weather front bringing the threat of some patchy rain to east anglia and south—east england. and it will still be quite a windy kind of day. those winds will ease, though, as we head into thursday. the high pressure dominates. a few mist and fog patches around. in the north, we could even have a bit of frost to start the day in the coldest spots, but for most of the country, thursday's a quieter day. it should be dry, and most of us will see some fairly decent spells of sunshine. nice for a change, then. temperatures at around about 13—17 degrees again, and this quieter spell of weather should hang around for friday. but into the weekend, we see further changes. low pressure moves in. it turns wet and windy, particularly for wales and south—west england, and this low�*s going to be
