Hello. We'll start with a busy evening of champions league football and a surprising loss for the five time winners of the competition. Barcelona have won theirfirst five la liga games of the season, but they were beaten 2—1 by monaco. Hansi flick�*s side were forced to play most of the match with 10 men, after defender eric garcia was sent off. George ileni—khena scored the winner for the french side, who are back in europe's top competition for the first time in 5 years. They bring in players and it wasn't easy to defend it after ten minutes or 12 minutes, for the game change, totally, but i can see is the positive thing that we try to do first, we tried to defend as a team and also attack as a team and we had chances. But today, we have to accept that. 2—1. Elsewhere, a late header byjose maria gimenez gave atletico madrid a 2—1win over rb leipzig. The german visitors took the lead in the fourth minute but atletico dominated for the most part with 20 attempts on goal before finding the winner. In france, brest celebrated winning their first ever match in a european competition after goals from hugo magnetti and abdallah sima secured a 2—1 victory for them over sturm graz. Bayer leverkusen cruised to a 4—0 victory at feyenoord, with florian wirtz scoring twice on his champions league debut. That was the dutch side's first defeat since dane brian priske replaced arne slot as manager. In serbia, benfica won their opening match in the competition for only the second time in their past eight campaigns, with a 2—1 victory at red star belgrade. Orkun kokchu's brilliant free—kick proving the winner. And david raya made an unbelievable double save from a penalty as arsenal played out a goalless draw at italian side atalanta. Chances were at a premium with that one moment providing the bulk of the drama. We came here expecting a positive performance on the front foot and really asking this atalanta team with a lot of goals lately and asking them an awful lot of questions but it's the other way around an arsenal and is usually defence solidity that got them to the game, they're terrific defensively and to bring that off with an outstanding double save and first and the penalty and then the reaction to the mixture arsenal kept a clean sheet, they had a position moving forward and got the ball the way in david fall too cheaply when they're trying to start off moves and it lacked creativity throughout the game and the absence of martin justifiably showed and they never came to grips with that style of atalanta and i think when mikal arteta looks at this, think you'd be quite pleased that they ended up with a point with the performance they put on at the end of the season, this could be good points. Travis head scored a superb unbeaten 154 as australia saw off england by seven wickets in the first one day international at trent bridge. England looked in good shape with ben duckett striking 11 boundaries on his way to a hefty 95. But the hosts lost their last 8 wickets forjust 102 runs as the australian spinners bowled england out for 315. In reply, australia lost mitchell marsh and steve smith early, but the in—form travis head stayed put, with a magnificent 154 to put the aussies in control, marnus labuschagne hit the winning runs with 6 overs to spare as the tourists went one up in the five match series. They'll meet again at headingley on saturday. Rory mcilroy has got off to a good start at the pga championship at wentworth, despite a bizzare moment in his opening round. The world number three was hitting his approach into the par five 12th hole when his clubhead flew off after impact. Mcilroy still managed to register a birdie, eventually finishing his round in a tie for fourth at five—under—par. England's matthew baldwin leads the way at seven—under par after carding a blemish free round of 65. In tennis, the 2024 laver cup gets underway on friday in berlin. John mcenroe s team world will take on bjorn borg s team europe in the three day event, which this year features six of the top 10 players in the world rankings, including reigning french open and wimbledon champion carlos alcaraz who'll be making his laver cup debut. We don't talk too much, we are on our own all the time and we don't watch it all matches. Now it's going to be different, we are going to laugh, talk a lot, and enjoy as much this week and then try to do a little bit more professionally. Anthonyjoshua and daniel dubois faced—off whilst meeting the press in london on thursday. The pair will compete in an all—british ibf world heavyweight title fight at wembley stadium on saturday. Dubois won the interim ibf title injune and was elevated to world champion status when 0leksandr usyk vacated. The pair will clash in front of a reported post—war british record crowd of 96,000.

In one of the biggest challenges in making a name for myself — the fight for sport's oldest international trophy has taken its next step, with the british team discovering who it will face in the race to meet the america's cup defending champions. On wednesday, ben ainslie's boat ineos britannia qualified for the louis vuitton cup, the name given to the challenger series that will produce the team that will take on new zealand in the main event. And on thursday, italy's luna rossa joined them after completing a win over us boat america magic in barcelona. The italians lost in the america's cup series three years ago having beaten ainslie's team at the same stage they'll meet this year, so a rematch for the four time 0lympic sailing champion. Strong team, we know that and they've been in the game for 25 years now and they're very experienced and they have great technical team and ultimately, they have a faster package down in auckland and this time, what's differences, i think both of our equipment is much more competitive in a much better prepared i think as a team to such third generation or third attempt of the america's cup and it is time we get better and better overall package and i think we can really take it this time. Visually, it is a very interesting site watching what appears to many to be kind of of formula 1 car on the water. But what is particularly different, parts much mentioned is that you have people who were cycling below deck to provide you with the power, cycles sound like some sort of villain from a marvel movie but gave explain how crucial they are to making your boat go? the clones are to making your boat go? the cyclones are _ are to making your boat go? tue: cyclones are absolutely critical to each team and they really power of the aerodynamic functions, all of the sale functions, all of the sale functions that powered the yacht are powered by the cyclaws, these races blaster on 25 minutes and they are putting around 500 watts come over 2025 minutes which anyone who knows about cycling notes that is an extremely high level of performance. And they're doing that while sailing around close to 60 mph. It is pretty extreme sport. To 60 mph. It is pretty extreme sort. �*. . ,. ,. , sport. Amazing how that all operates — you can get all the latest sports news at from the bbc sport app, orfrom our website — that's bbc. Com/sport. From me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye. Hello there. For some parts of the uk, there is a big change on the way weather—wise, particularly in the south, where on thursday we saw a lot of sunshine. Temperatures in london got above 26 celsius. But we're watching this area of low pressure swirling up from the south, increasingly bringing some showers and thunderstorms over the next few days. And the rainfall is really going to accumulate. Some spots could be looking at around a month's worth of rain from these intense downpours and thunderstorms — however, only really in the south. Further north, it remains largely dry. The best of the sunshine across north—west england, northern ireland, western scotland. Eastern scotland, north—east england likely to be plagued by a lot of cloud, which will make it feel rather cool. And actually that cloud has been rolling its way a long way inland, taking its time to burn back towards the east coast through the day on friday, but it should do. Staying quite murky, though, for parts of eastern scotland, north—east england. And then down towards the south of england, perhaps into the midlands, wales, we will see some of these showers and thunderstorms popping up, some of which will give a lot of rain in a short space of time. 23 degrees in london, just 15 if the cloud lingers there in aberdeen. And as we go through friday night, that cloud again rolls a little bit further inland. Still the chance for some showers and thunderstorms rumbling around across the channel islands, getting back into southern counties of england. A mild night forjust a mild night forjust about all of us, a mild about all of us, a mild start to the weekend. Start to the weekend. And again on saturday, and again on saturday, down towards the south, down towards the south, we'll see these showers we'll see these showers and thunderstorms across southern counties of england, and thunderstorms across southern counties of england, into east anglia, the midlands, into east anglia, the midlands, parts of wales. Parts of wales. But for northern england, northern ireland, western but for northern england, northern ireland, western scotland, we'll see some scotland, we'll see some sunshine. Eastern scotland, north—east sunshine. Eastern scotland, north—east england, still plagued by that england, still plagued by that cloud, perhaps the odd cloud, perhaps the odd spot of drizzle. There, largely dry. Spot of drizzle. Could be quite misty and murky could be quite misty and murky around some of the coast, around some of the coast, and temperatures, if anything, and temperatures, if anything, coming down a little bit coming down a little bit from where they have been. From where they have been. And then into sunday, and then into sunday, it looks like we'll see some it looks like we'll see some slightly more persistent, heavy, thundery rain, again affecting southern parts again affecting southern parts of the uk, east anglia, of the uk, east anglia, the midlands, wales. The midlands, wales. Further north from further north from there, largely dry. Best of the sunshine in the north—west, more cloud into the north east, so the pattern continues.
