Britains18 year old Emma Raducanu has won the Us Open in one of the most dramatic victories in modern tennis. She beat 19 year old Leylah Fernandez of canada in two sets six four, six three.

She is so composed and ruthless. Shes going to smash it. You know who theyre talking about. Announcer Emma Raducanu well, there were two teenagers in the Us Open final, canadian Leylah Fernandez at the top of the screen, as early as the second game we saw intense rallies and we saw Emma Raducanu prevailing here. Both players settled immediately to display a full range of their abilities. Points were hard earned, skilfully won. Nerves . No sign. Two things were clear. We had a final worthy of the Occasion And Raducanu had the first set, 6 4. She was broken early in the second set, broke back like that. Now fernandez was struggling to hold her serve. Did you see this shot coming . Oh, my god did we see any of this coming . 44 years of waiting, one hour 51 on court, and one more serve. It is right to realise what this means for british tennis, but also for world tennis. It was an outstanding match, an astounding champion. Really, its yours its all yours. Its an absolute dream. Like, you just have visions of yourself, you know, going up to the box, hugging everyone, i mean, celebrating. Thats something that you always think of and you always work for, and for that moment to actually happen, erm, yeah, im just so grateful for my team that are here with me and the team that are back home and the lta and every single person whos supported me along this journey. These images will be the posters and the posts displayed for decades. If the point of sport is to uplift and amaze, Emma Raducanu is already at the pinnacle. Joe wilson, Bbc News. Emmas historic achievement has been acknowledged by royalty, with the queen sending her congratulations, saying in a statement it is a remarkable achievement at such a young age, and is testament to your hard work and dedication.

Anything that comes my way im ready to deal with it, and ive got great people aRound me to take me through these moments and they got me here, and im very excited to celebrate with them later and also go home and see everyone back home. What was it like to receive a message from the queen . It meant everything, to get a message from her majesty. She has such a great Inspiration And Role model for the whole country. To have a note from her, i was extremely honoured and very, very grateful that she took notice of my tennis, I Cant believe it, im maybe going to frame that letter or something. The last time i spoke to you on monday, i asked how you celebrate and you said frozen yoghurt. Whats the flavour of winning a championship . Flavour doesnt change its chocolate with more chocolate and some chocolate brownie. I mean, im one of those. The last week we havent managed to, actually, because of late finishes, but tonight, i am sure we will go to town on everything. Harry bushnell coached emma at the Park Langley Club in kent until she was 11 years old. He gave us his reaction on whether he knew, even then that young emma would become a Grand Slam champion. You never know, you can only go on what you have seen in the past. She some unbelievable qualities. At The Club we were like who is this girl here . It is surprising she is done it so quickly and so young in some respects but at the same time not surprising because she was very good. I have been saying all week its a must like shes been there before, almost like she has done it before. She hasnt, of course it was her first Grand Slam final Last Night but shejust her first Grand Slam final Last Night but she just takes it all in her stride.

Itjust was a pretty impressive acceptance speech, i think. Itjust shows you she is our main event, a Show Stopper and i think shes going to be there for years to come. I think what she has done, and i know that from working in the game, working at The Club, she has made what seems like the impossible possible unbelievable. She has done it. She is someone that we know that has actually gone and done it and i think it is going to inspire a lot of young kids, certainly a lot of girls to go out there and pick up a racket and try and do the same as her. Raquet. Joining me now from london is Guilia Lesa shes ranked number 8 in england for players aged 16 and under and is a surrey county player. She played with Emma Raducanu at bromley.

Tennis teaches you so many skills and the opportunity we have now is to get more people play sport. If you look at young people, how many get 60 minutes physical activity a day on it has gone down a bit. But the lta have a wonderful programme for primary schools with a £250 voucher to spend on equipment and coaching. We have the most unbelievable Role Model and Emma Raducanu and if there are any teachers watching this search for Lta Youth schools because tennis is brilliant lesson for teaching Life Skills and there may be another emma out there. The fbi has released the first document related to its investigation into allegations of saudi Government Support for the nine eleven attackers, following an order 9 11 from president biden. The partially redacted document outlines contacts between two of the hijackers and a suspected saudi intelligence operative. It does not provide clear evidence of saudi Government Support for the plot. President biden ordered the release of the document at the request of families of some of the victims. 15 of the 19 hijackers were from saudi arabia, but riyadh has always denied any role in the attack. The release of the document follows a Day Of Remembrance to mark the 20th Anniversary of the September The 11th attacks on the united states. Nearly 3000 people were killed in the attacks, carried out by Al Qaeda islamists. Our correspondent in washington, nomia iqbal, reflects on a day of tributes. Last post plays. It was the last stop for president biden, to remember the day that changed america. He laid a wreath in washington after visiting all the sites whether terrorists struck. Bell tolls. At the start of the day, america paused for six moments of silence. It began at 8 a6am local time, when the first plane crashed and then the harrowing moment when the names of those who died were read out, One By one, nearly all 3,000 of them. Stephen bruce bunin. Andrew clive gilbert. My cousin, jenine nicole gonzalez. The thing i remember most about you is your smile, and the illustrious light of that smile continues to guide our family every single day. I ask that every single One Of Us here call upon the strength of our Loved Ones to help navigate us through tough times. Dennis m carey, senior. And my big brother. We love. Chokes up. We love and miss you every day. You will never be forgotten. After bravely rushing into danger that day, hundreds of First Responders who died were honoured at the Fire House in the city. President s past and present paid their respects, including the man who presided over the us at the time, george w bush. Like the current president , he talked about the importance of unity and contrasted America Today with The American then. When it comes to the unity of america, those days seem distant from our own. Malign force seems at work in our common life, that turns every disagreement into an argument, and every argument into a clash of cultures. So much of our politics has become a naked appeal to anger, fear and resentment. It was noticeable that former President Donald Trump did not attend the ceremony. He was born and raised in New York city. He did meet a group of new York Police officer and released a statement criticising president joe biden. But the day belonged to the people whose lives were ruined by the events of 20 years ago, and while america is used to remembering 9 11 every year, large anniversaries like this have brought into sharp focus what was lost that day. Nomia iqbal, Bbc News, New York. The uk Prime Minister is set to announce further details about the governments plan to manage coronavirus in england this winter. Proposals are expected to focus on the use of boosterjabs for the most vulnerable people. Borisjohnson will also outline plans to repeal some existing powers that are no longer deemed necessary. Lets speak to our political correspondent, ione wells. Ione, what more can we expect to hear . There are a lot of political interviews this morning which may shed further light. We are expecting more from the Prime Minister in a statement on tuesday. Winter is coming and potentially a Triple Lock coming Down The Line for the nhs. Covid coupled with flu and the big Nhs Backcloth of procedures that have been postponed due to the pandemic of the need to be tackled. First our Booster Programme about who will be eligible for a Booster Jab and we expect the elderly will be those are prioritised. We are also expecting from the Prime Minister some idea about what Contingency Plans may be put in place if the nhs is in danger of being overwhelmed again. They are looking at behavioural changes such as wearing masks and social distancing and working from home that might need to be implement it again if the nhs is that any danger of being overwhelmed. Sources are keen to stress they are not considering for the lockdown is in england. The Prime Minister will also talk a bit about the fact that coronavirus act, the Emergency Law introduced to give ministers the powers to tackle covid are being repealed like the poster closed businesses and close schools but we understand things will be kept like the ability to give people sick pay on Day One of Self Isolation rather than day seven. Also the ability of schools to reopen if they close against government advice. And also changes in Self Isolation. There will also be interested in backs in passports. We have had from ministers in the last couple weeks they were considering these four places like nightclubs but possibly other venues as well. Just now on the airwaves we have had the Health Secretary say he hopes to avoid Vaccine Passports but we are looking for some clarity into what the Health Secretary hopes going into tuesday. The Uk Home secretary has insisted she did not break the Ministerial Code when she met with the boss of a Hotel Chain and a British Airways executive, without any officials present. The Sunday Mirror newspaper reports that Priti Patel attended a lunch last month, where Covid Travel rules were among the topics discussed. Ms patel resigned from the cabinet in 2017, amid controversy over her unauthorised meetings with israeli officials, politicians and the then Prime Minister benjamin netanyahu. A spokesman for Ms Patel said details of her meetings will be published as usual in accordance with the code. The trade union group, the tuc, has warned that up to 660,000 jobs could be at risk, if the uk fails to reach net zero Carbon Emissions as quickly as other countries. Ministers have pledged to cut Carbon Emissions by almost 80 by 2035. But the tuc fears that many roles could be moved elsewhere unless britain starts investing more heavily in green infrastructure. Our Business Correspondent Katie Prescott reports. Making steel is a dirty business. And in 30 years time, this has to change. But what will it mean for heavy industrialjobs like these, in Blast Furnaces in South Wales . Workers fear they could be laid off unless businesses get more support to make them greener ahead of the uks legally binding commitment to stop adding to climate change. As this Years Trade Union congress gets under way in london, protecting these jobs is a major talking point. Unions say they want to see a plan in place from the government to help companies adapt to the green future. We are focusing on heavy carbon industries like the steel industry, for example, where we know there are new low carbon ways to do business and we know businesses are going to have to adapt. But what is going to happen is that companies are going to think about locating in countries where they get support from their government to make those adaptations to invest in the new technology, to think about how you produce those Carbon Heavy Goods in a low carbon way, and that is why the Uk Government needs to step up so that our businesses can compete. Theres No Doubt that industry will have to undergo a green revolution, and that will inevitably have an impact on jobs. Just how severe that impact will be will depend on how it is planned and of course how it is paid for, at a time when there are already so many demands on the public purse. The government says the tuc� S Claims are untrue, saying the uk has grown its economy by 78 while cutting emissions by 44 over the past three decades. And it launched an independent Task Force to develop plans for good quality Green Jobs by 2030. In a rare moment of unity this weekend, Employers Group the cbi backs unions, saying that speed is of the essence when it comes to going green. More information on the governments net zero strategy will be launched ahead of cop 26, the major climate Change Conference at The End of october.
