hello from the bbc sport centre. i'm hugh ferris. amidst a run of form unprecedented in his managerial career, pep guardiola insists he won't change his style to change his team's fortunes. manchester city have suffered five defeats in a row, including three in the premier league including saturday's thumping by spurs at the etihad, to leave the champions eight points behind leaders liverpool. with guardiola fresh from signing a new two—year contract extension, he insists their bad form won't last, with their next match against feyenoord in the champions league on tuesday. no, i'm not going to change. i believe that we are big believers in the process. we have to make sure that the

players that are injured come backin players that are injured come back in the best form. and we have to believe completely that when we are winning a lot, we have to think, this too shall pass. after feyenoord, it's liverpool for city, and mo salah�*s future at anfield appears to be increasingly unclear after the forward claimed he was "more out than in" having not received a new contract offer, despite a club source telling the bbc that contact between liverpool and salah�*s agent is ongoing and has been positive. salah scored two more goals — crucial ones, too — as he helped liverpool come from behind to beat southampton amd move eight points clear at the top of the premier league. but with the 32—year—old's current deal ending this season, he says he hasn't heard anything yet about an extension. if no agreement is reached, salah could leave for free injune. emma hayes has revealed how her final weeks as chelsea boss were so stressful she felt unwell. it was after that she swapped her hugely successful club career for international football, with hayes�* usa team bringing her home for a friendly against england on saturday.
2:47 pm
in 12 years at chelsea, hayes won 15 major trophies and has started her tenure in the states with an olympic gold medal. with the match at wembley coming, she says now she's got her mojo back. i had to think through how i'm going — i had to think through how i'm going to — i had to think through how i'm going to be standing there as a complete away team coach. it will be — complete away team coach. it will be full of english people, supporting the home team, and i -et supporting the home team, and i get to— supporting the home team, and i get to experience another opportunity between the olympic champions and the current european champions in the game where _ european champions in the game where there is top quality on show— where there is top quality on show on _ where there is top quality on show on both sides. india have completed a huge win over australia in the first test of their series in perth, beating the home side by 295 runs inside four days. australia were bowled out for 238 in their second innings, giving india their third—biggest away win —
2:48 pm
all that after the tourists made just 150 on day one. it's also australia's first defeat at the new perth stadium, but australia captain pat cummins is keen to put the result in to perspective. notan not an ideal way to start the summer. you always zoom out, you have five test matches and you have five test matches and you have five test matches and you have sri lanka after that as well. it is a big series, but we thought our prep was good leading into this series. i think i was the only one in the team that didn't play any red ball cricket, buti the team that didn't play any red ball cricket, but i had some odi cricket and quite a similar lead into previous years. the cleveland cavaliers continued their impressive start to the nba season with a 122 to 108 win over the toronto raptors. donovan mitchell led the way for cleveland, scoring 26 points as the cavaliers maintained their unbeaten record at home — they had started the season with 15 straight wins before losing to the boston celtics last week,

something that was beyond their expectations to start the year. much more on the website, including live snooker from the snooker championships. and that's all the sport for now. heavy rainfall and dire winter weather is taking a toll on gaza's population, many of whom have been displaced by the war. heavy rain has flooded hundreds of poorly constructed tents across the enclave. some have been completely swept away and there are problems with sewage, also. aid groups have called for replacement shelters. the hospital director of one ofjust two medical facilities still partially working has been seriously injured in an israeli drone strike, along with his two daughters and several staff. dr hossam abu safiya heads the kamal adwan hospital in northern gaza. the blast left him with extensive shrapnel in his upper thigh and damaged blood vessels. he says israeli military are targetting the hospital's oxygen facilities and diesel storage with drones. israel does not allow foreign journalists free access to gaza, so a freelancer for the bbc has interviewed
2:50 pm
dr hossam abu safiya. for severn consecutive days, we have been directly bombed. a number of our medical staff were injured, and they have also targeted the hospital courtyard, and the area of the generators, oxygen plant, water network, water tanks and infrastructure. we were supposed to be speaking to dr hossam abu safiya now in the programme. but there's no answer. we will keep trying,
2:51 pm
and we will bring you that live interview when we can. we have also approached the idf, who say they do everything possible to mitigate harm to civilians and do not deliberately target civilians. louise wateridge, a spokeswoman for united nations relief agency in gaza city said people are sheltering under bedsheets with no coats, with sewage flowing through the streets. she told me the suffering is "unbearable and relentless". it's absolutely miserable. it's utterly miserable. the last few days, i've been with people sheltering in these conditions. they don't have homes, they don't have shelter, they are living in rubble. at best, they have plastic sheeting to try to protect them from wind and rain, but realistically most people are sheltering under blankets, curtains, bed sheets.
2:52 pm
it's really appalling. a father yesterday was telling me how rats come in at night where he and his family are sleeping and they have bought on the floor. it's very cold, children are crying because they don't have cold weather gear, they don't have coats orjumpers. it is truly miserable.— truly miserable. there is a particular— truly miserable. there is a particular concern - truly miserable. there is a particular concern about . truly miserable. there is a - particular concern about sewage as well? fist particular concern about sewage as well? �* ., �* , as well? at the moment, there's 500,000 people _ as well? at the moment, there's 500,000 people at _ as well? at the moment, there's 500,000 people at risk - as well? at the moment, there's 500,000 people at risk of - 500,000 people at risk of flooding, and this isn'tjust from rainwater. at the moment, because everything has been decimated, everything about society has been decimated, including the sewage and water systems, people will be flooded by sewage soon as the water continues. there is no infrastructure here, there is sewage flowing through the streets, where they sleep at night. it couldn't get any worse than it is now. the bombing continues, the strikes continue. it is completely unbearable for everybody. i5

2:54 pm
really the worst it has ever been, and people have had enough. they are accepting their fate and theyjust accept that they will be killed and it will be better than the suffering they have now. in terms of the immediate needs you mentioned as well, how much aid is getting in and how much is being distributed? it’s is being distributed? it's not enou:h. is being distributed? it's not enough- it's _ is being distributed? it's not enough. it's never— is being distributed? it's not enough. it's never enough. l is being distributed? it's notj enough. it's never enough. i was in gaza city with colleagues yesterday. these people were getting plastic sheeting, food packages, they are doing what they can, but it's not enough. people might get food tomorrow, but what happens when the plastic sheeting is gone, torn by shrapnel? there is no solution here. we are doing what we can but the biggest united agency

nations agency on the ground is about be finished. we have been told and worn through the authorities that operations will cease. now would be a disaster for that to happen, will cease. now would be a disasterfor that to happen, we are feeling how bad that impact will be with everything going on. it is getting dark there, but we can tell you there is a huge amount of smoke in the air. the israeli army says that it struck around 25 targets in lebanon in one hour, and lebanon in one hour, and lebanon have said that at least 12 people have been killed in strikes in the south of the country. strikes in the south of the country-— strikes in the south of the count .,, ., ., ., country. six are said to have been killed _ country. six are said to have been killed on _ country. six are said to have been killed on the _ country. six are said to have been killed on the road, - country. six are said to have been killed on the road, and another six died elsewhere. there is growing speculation that israel and lebanon may have agreed to the terms of a ceasefire agreement yesterday, and we are getting further reports suggesting they may be getting close to this. more than 3500 lebanese have been
2:56 pm
killed in more than a year of fighting. to stay with us. hello. in the short term, the weather will continue to improve as storm bert pulls away, but still very blustery across parts of scotland. generally speaking, a drier and brighter day, with a few showers for most of us. still plenty of flood warnings in force from the environment agency, mostly clustered around england and wales, with one severe flood warning in force for northamptonshire earlier in the day on monday. the severe flood warnings from southern wales have been now lifted. here is the satellite picture of the centre of storm bert there as it tends to fade. still visible in scotland. temperatures today around eight to 10 celsius, with some sunshine. this evening and overnight, plenty of showers across scotland. some of them will be wintry across the hills
2:57 pm
and the mountains. there will be showers coming and going across the south and the south—east too. for many, though, especially eastern parts of the uk, it will be a clear and dry night with temperatures in towns and cities around two to five, so a little bit of a chill in the air first thing on tuesday. still a brisk breeze in the north of scotland with some showers, some wintry over hills. there could be some showers around lancashire, into northern parts of wales, but generally speaking, it's a mostly sunny day on tuesday. then all eyes to the south—west. another spell of potentially very heavy rain on the way. it shouldn't last for too long. this is a smaller area of low pressure compared to what bert was, but it could be an intense storm developing just as it moves across southern parts. rain affecting southern areas of the uk, certainly south—western england, wales in the morning and through the afternoon, exiting the south—east of the country, butjust as it pulls away a sting in its tail. there could be gales around coasts of lincolnshire, also east anglia and possibly coastal areas of the south—east, but, hopefully,
2:58 pm
the worst will be out to sea. it will impact though the low countries. i think for most on wednesday it's going to be a dry and bright day. the potential for some nasty weather in the south—east and east anglia at some point on wednesday — not a guarantee. here's the outlook then, as we head through the rest of the week and into the weekend. i'm very pleased to say the weather is going to be generally calmer, with high pressure around, some sunshine and some chilly, frosty nights. bye— bye.
