ididn't ididn�*t want i didn't want to throw in the towel or walk off or retire, i was hurting physically, but a respect my opponent, the fans who have come to see me play. realistically, i can't see myself playing very much again. the defending men's champion — jannik sinner — was pushed hard in his opening victory. the italian came through against nicolas jarry, in straight sets, but taken to a tie break in the first two. sinner eventually winning 7—6, 7—6, 6—1. sinner extending his winning streak to 16 matches dating back to october. one of the big storylines from this year's tournament — novak djokovic earlier — andy murray now in his coaching corner. the pair were of course famous rivals on the court. and after an early wobble, the io—time winner at melbourne came through his first round match. american teenager nihesh basavareddy took the first set, but as we've seen so often, that only kick—started the serb into action. djokovic going on to take the next three sets and win the match. in the women's singles, wins forjessica pegula and coco gauff — who got the better of the 2020

angeles have so far claimed the lives of 2a people including 32—year—old rory sykes — a child actor who starred in the late 90s tv show kiddy kapers. rory had cerebral palsy and struggled with mobility — his mother shelley sykes has been speaking to our correspondent emma va rdy. isaid to i said to him, we got to go down to the main house, we are on standby. he says, "i'm not leaving, mum, you just go." isaid, "no, rory, get ready. be prepared." and he said, "no, i'm not going. "you sort yourself out." and you know, he's stubborn. but then he showed me he couldn't walk. he's already on crutches, but his feet had swelled so badly. anyway, it got thicker and thicker. and then the fire actually came behind the property and the smoke was just intense. at 3 or 4am in the morning, they sent the emergency — you've got to evacuate. so i wrapped myself up, went up to the cottage

and said to rory, "come on, we've got to either come to the house or let's jump in the car and go down." and he just didn't want to leave. so i raced down, and i raced to the fire station up the road. the truck went up to my house and they were on the radio — just check if it's the third cottage or whatever where he's in. and then, within an hour, they came back and said, "we want you to come up." so i'm thinking, "oh, my god, they haven't brought rory back with them." so, you know, i'm holding my breath thinking, "oh, my god, they've grabbed him and he's not breathing or something." so when i got there, i had the shock of my life. three cottages, within an hour, had burnt from top to bottom, to cinders and ash. there wasn't any tiles in his bathroom. there was no... there was no sides, no... it was just... well, you've seen it now. so the cottage

he was in was gone? all three cottages. but his was just... all of them were levelled, levelled totally to the ground within a0 minutes. i can't... it doesn't seem real. that bit doesn't seem real. i don't seem to get emotional about that. it's because it doesn't seem real. i mean, how are you processing? how are you processing what happened? well, that... the biggest fear i had was that he might burn and hurt, because i think burning must be the most painful death. and the fire department chiefs said, no, he will have died of carbon monoxide poisoning first, which made me feel a bit better. he would have gone to sleep first. he had gone to sleep first and he would have stopped breathing. and so i'm just... i just... sorry. no. ijust can't believe my baby's not going to be here. i can't even turn on the phone.

i didn't even have any computer cables. he'd have been so cross with me. "mum, why didn't you get your hard drives and your laptop and your telephone cables? " and, you know, he always kind of looked after that side for the whole team. and it'sjust going to be sad without him as my techie guy and my rock. that was our la correspondent, emma vardy, speaking to shelley sykes. here in the uk, the boyfriend of a young mother who took her own life has been found guilty of assault and prolonged domestic violence but cleared of her manslaughter. ryan wellings, from bispham in lancashire, became the first defendant to be tried before a jury accused of the unlawful killing of his partner after kiena dawes, 23, took her own life following domestic violence. the 30—year—old landscape gardener was found not guilty of manslaughter and guilty of assault and coercive and controlling behaviour between january 2020 and july 2022 after a trial at preston crown court. he will be sentenced

the japan meteorological agency asked people not to go in the sea or near coastal areas. there were concerns about the potentalfor a one metre high tsunami but a much smaller one was recorded reaching miyazaki city according to japan's public broadcaster. japan of course has more earthquakes than any other country in the world, the pulitzer earthquake proof and so far we have not had many reports of damage but will keep across the story for you. stay with us here on bbc news. hello there. the weather story across the uk is on the change, but perhaps not where you would think. just take a look at this dramatic temperature contrast from first thing this morning. we had 14 degrees in highland scotland — that runs the risk of some

rapid snow melt and maybe some localised flooding. by contrast, —1. we are was still sitting in the cold air across the far south—east. but the wind direction has changed. it's driving this milder air across the northern half of the country. it is also bringing some wet weather, as well. so these weather fronts are sinking their way steadily south and east, introducing some rain. further south we are still under the influence of high pressure. the rain has seen some heavier bursts across the highlands. it's moving its way down towards the scottish borders and out of northern ireland. so for the remainder of the afternoon we will see some wet weather sinking its way slowly south and east. quite cloudy skies elsewhere. best of any brightness across east anglia and south—east england where we had that colder start, but temperatures starting to pick up. not quite as cold here, five to seven degrees, but we keep those double figures in the far north and west. our weather front sinks its way steadily south, weakens all the time to a nuisance band of drizzly rain across northern england and

north wales overnight. further south, if we get some clearer skies, a touch of patchy frost, maybe some patchy fog, as well. low single figures here. we keep the mild air behind that weather front. the front will continue to push its way south and produce quite a lot of cloud around on tuesday. not that much in the way of rain. some brief glimpses of brightness perhaps towards the north and east of scotland and england. temperatures generally between eight and 11 degrees. so a milder feel to things. as we move through the middle part of the week, the high pressure stays influencing the story for most of us. weather fronts toppling across the high might introduce some fresher winds and thicker cloud here from time to time, but with lighter winds further south, fog and some of it dense and stubborn in places, could lingerfor quite some time across central and south—east england. so something to look out for on wednesday. again, temperatures pretty similar — between eight and 11 degrees. so as we go through the rest

of the week the milder theme is set to continue, mostly dry, but watch out for the fog.
