At the bernabeu. Liverpool secured a 3—1 liverpool secured a 3—1 victory at ac milan victory at ac milan on their champions league return, to firmly bounce back from saturday's shock defeat by nottingham forest in the premier league. Dominik szoboszlai got the third on a memorable night for birthday boy, arne slot. Normally, you celebrate your birthday with your friends and family, but this was a really good alternative, to play your first champions league game against a special club for liverpool, but also a special club for dutch people, and a nice venue, and to win it, the way we did, after going 1—0 down after five minutes, with the result of nottingham forest still in our head, i think it was very good to see how they took the game in their hands, and we were losing some balls, we wereconceding then, long balls, they were attacking the left side more than the right side, and we conceded two or three faults. But we defended well, and emiliano was doing his work, saving some chances as well. We were feeling better on the pitch, we were pressuring, getting in the box, creating some chances and we scored from set pieces, and afterwards we were feeling confident. Manchester city's star midfielder rodri says players could go on strike over the number of matches they're being made to play in a season. He was speaking at a news conference, ahead of city's champions league opener against inter milan on wednesday. The competition has been expanded, with more games added in a new format, but he says the players weren't consulted and could refuse to take part. I think we're close to that, i mean, because it's easy to understand, i mean, if it were asking something general, i think you ask any player, he would say the same. It is not like the opinion of rodri, or whatever, so i think it is a general opinion of players, between a0 and 50 is the number of games in which a player can perform in the highest level. After that, everything comes, you drop, because it is impossible to sustain the physical level. Manchester united got their biggest victory under erik ten hag to cruise into the english league cup last 16 at the expense of third—tier barnsley.

The commonwealth games will return to glasgow in 2026, after the scottish government approved the move. The city hosted it ten years ago and has stepped in after victoria, in australia, pulled out last year because of rising costs. It'll be a scaled down event, with fewer sports. It's understood the games will come at no cost to the public, with the australian authorities promising a multi—million pound investment to help finalise the deal. The games will look very different in two years' time, gayle mcpherson, is a professor in events and cultural policy. I think this was really an issue about the public finances, and it is about perceptions, because people were anxious that if we spent money on this, this would have a reputational damage for the scottish government but there's been reassurances they are not asking the scottish government for any money, and let's face it, if we don't run the games, then no one is running the games, so in terms of reputational damage it is better that glasgow has stepped up to the plate and said, look, we have all the facilities here, we have the expertise here, we have been running european championships, world indoor athletics, uci world cycling championships, we have all the basic structure that's ready to go, so we can do this, as long as it is a slimmed—down games. Anthonyjoshua takes on ibf belt—holder daniel dubois at a sold out wembley stadium on saturday. Joshua's had to rebuild and work his way back after being a mandatory challenger, having broken down in tears after losing a second consecutive fight to 0leksandr usyk two years ago. He's been speaking to our reporter kal sajad. It's gone quick. It's funny, because a lot of pain i've been through, with training, obviously, it's quite challenging, i seem to forget it. Chuckling. So it's gone quick but itjust shows you have to make the most of the moment, because you'll soon forget about it, so i've worked hard, been through a lot of pain and i have worked hard to get better, so hopefully those experiences won't happen again, because as you saw that night, i don't like losing. How long did it take you to get that belief back in yourself again, or did you have it straightaway? i have always had it, i think i'm gifted with an ability to fight and compete. You're able to read certain tendencies in boxing, able to read your opponent, so i always have an eye for that, but there is a supreme level that you can take it to, and it's happened over the last maybe ten months, eight months, i have really honed in on those skills. What about fight week, i saw you sharing a hug with someone. Hearing the london voice, the london accent. Outside there? yeah. I respect people who have come down and the time out to see you. I've been on that side of the fence before, i've got idols and people i look up to and stuff like that, and i will treat someone how i want to be treated, do you know what i mean? so i try and give them some time. So, yeah, it's good to get out of the cage, basically, i've been in training, it's good to come out and mingle with people, people who come to support, it goes along way i think. I make time. You felt that daniel disrespected you? not disrespect but it was basically just saying stay in yourlane, innit? how important is it to you everything you have achieved in this sport, how important that they do respect you? nah, you have to earn respect. To a fighter, they don't respect that, they want to take that from you, they want to take that, as fighters, so i don't expect respect from him, but i'm ready to earn my respect. He's a good fighter, brilliant fighter, everyone speaks highly of him, and i think they underestimate me as well, so i'm going to go out there and prove how good i am.

From me, will perry, and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, bye for now. Hello. Tuesday was another glorious day across the uk with lots of autumnal sunshine. Skies like these in aboyne. Aboyne was the warmest place in the whole of the uk, reaching a top temperature of 25 c through the afternoon — that's a whole eight degrees celsius above average for this time of year. But the warmth was pretty widespread — 2a in leuchars in eastern scotland, into the north—west of northern ireland, 2a celsius, as well. Now, over the next few hours, we are starting to see a drift of cloud come in off the north sea, affecting eastern and central areas of england, probably reaching east wales. A few fog patches already forming in scotland. One or two of these could be quite dense, as we start off into wednesday. Otherwise, it's quite a chilly night, where we keep the skies clearest longest. Now, over the next few days, high pressure is going to stay firmly in charge of our weather, and that means we've got more of this fine, settled, sunny weather to come. But that said, we are going to start wednesday with quite extensive cloud across england, eastern parts of wales. It will take a time for that to thin and break up, but eventually the sunshine will come out — mist and fog patches clearing away elsewhere. Plenty of sunshine around, and it's another very warm day for september. Temperatures probably about 25 again for parts of scotland, a 2k for the london area, and a 22 or so for western counties of northern ireland. 0n into thursday, it's a similar kind of weather picture, really. Again, there'll be a fair bit of cloud to start the day across parts of england, clearing away. Still quite a brisk north—easterly breeze blowing across east anglia and south—east england, otherwise the winds are quite light. Wherever you are in the sunshine through the afternoon, it is going to feel pleasantly warm, with temperatures widely climbing into the 20s and probably peaking at about 2k degrees or so. You again, some mist and fog, a bit of cloud around to start the day on friday, but this time, as we head into the afternoon, there's a chance of seeing one or two showers pop up across parts of england and wales. Some of these could end up being thundery, as well, but they'll stay away from scotland and northern ireland, where it'll be another dry day, with some sunny spells developing, perhapsjust a little bit cooler into some of our eastern coastal areas. Well, that takes us on into the weekend, and low pressure to our south is going to be drifting into england and wales, bringing heavy, thundery showers or some longer spells of rain, so it could turn quite wet for a time over the weekend across england and wales, but for scotland and northern ireland, at this stage, it looks like most of the rain will stay away and it should stay mostly fine and dry with more of that sunshine. Live from washington, this is bbc news. Shock and disbelief in lebanon. Almost 3,000 injured and nine dead after electronic pagers explode in people's hands and pockets across the country. Hip—hop mogul sean �*diddy�* combs is denied bail after pleading not—guilty to sex trafficking charges.

Iran's ambassador to lebanon is reported to be among those hurt. And hezbollah says two of its fighters and an eight—year—old girl are among those killed. Hezbollah and lebanese officials are blaming israel. Israel has not commented. Us state department spokesperson matt miller denounced the incident and urged against anything that could cause further escalation in the region. Since october 7, we have seen many number of incidents that have led to the heightened risk of escalation, that has been a feature of the conflict across the blue line since october 7 and so, we are always concerned about escalation, always concerned about any type of event that may cause further escalation and it remains our message to both israel and other parties that they need
