the year, now more than £14 million richer. belgium's remco evenepoel has won stage three of the vuelta a espana, on the first summit finish on the race, and moves into the leader's red jersey. the belgian, who led the giro d'italia earlier this year — before pulling out through illness, pulled clear of tour de france winnerjonas vingegaard with 200 metres to go in andorra. evenepoel then crashed through a gaggle of camera people after he crossed the line, suffering a cut to his face in the process. geraint thomas�* hopes suffered a blow, finishing 47 seconds behind. the paralympics get under way in exactly one year in paris, as great britain look to build on the success they enjoyed in tokyo two years ago. they won a total of 124 medals, including 41 golds. our correspondent andy swiss has been to find out more about how preparations for next year's games are going. ready to make an impact. britain's para table tennis team preparing for next month's european championships, but they know the ultimate goal is exactly one year away. rob davies won paralympic gold at rio in 2016 and, after missing the last games through injury, he told me the paris paralympics can't come soon enough. yeah, it's a huge motivation. paris is onlyjust over the pond and it would be nice if all my family could get over there to watch me. that's been my real fire, really, to get to paris. and i'm just going to keep going and hopefully i'll qualify and then hopefully i can do some good. britain's recent paralympic form certainly bodes well. they finished second in the medals table in tokyo, winning 41 golds. so what can they expect in paris? well, earlier this month, the city held a test event in paratriathlon. it wasn't entirely smooth. the swimming leg had to be cancelled because of the river seine�*s water quality. but it showed off the city's famous beauty and its sporting appetite. after covid meant there were no fans in tokyo, they're hoping for more than three million next year — a new paralympic record. to give to the athletes the, let's say, platform that they deserve, which is full stadia, spectators, viewers around the world. but, you know, to feel the warmth of the crowds will be amazing for that. and i do believe these games will be transformational, not only in paris, not only in france, but around the world. so i can't wait for these games to happen. great britain's most decorated paralympian ever. and britain once again will be hoping to lead the way. this summer has seen an array of impressive performances, from dame sarah storey�*s 36th paracycling world title to another wimbledon crown for alfie hewitt and gordon reid. the challenge now is to make sure next year's celebrations are even bigger. andy swiss, bbc news. and finally — it might not be the easiest to work into a tune, but ange postecoglou's name is already being sung on the tottenham terraces — to robbie williams�* "angels" no less. but robbie is a port vale fan, so he wouldn't sing it himself, would he? # everywhere all! # everywhere all! # lite way we want to —— we play the way we want to. if you want to check out his instagram, you can see the

air traffic that caused delays, passengers at airports across the uk and abroad are still facing many hours of disruption before things get back to normal. a reminder of the statement from the national air traffic service, it said, the issue affecting the system this morning has now been identified and remedied. and they are now working closely with airlines and airports to manage the flights effectively as efficiently as possible. today of chris marks the close of the holiday weekend and much of the uk. so it's unusually very busy day for flights. hearing that backlog of delayed flights is now the big issue. air points in manchester, birmingham and several airports in london, including heathrow, gatwick and luton all confirmed today where affected by the system outage. this is the scene live now at heathrow in london. there you can actually see some british airways flights moving along the runway. british airways itself has urged all passengers to check before they depart to go to heathrow because they have cancelled a number of short—haul flights and don't want to passengers heading to the airport if that flight has already been cancelled and a number of the flights that are departing from the airport i being delayed. as you can see, there are definitely planes moving around on the runway and we have seen flights leaving and arriving at the london's heathrow airport. well, a little earlier, this is what the home secretary, sabella braverman, had to say about the situation.— the situation. what we do know is that there has _ the situation. what we

reporter. what are the airport saying about the delays they are? ~ ., ., , �* airport saying about the delays they are? ~ ., .,, �* ., , are? well, here at least we've only 'ust are? well, here at

started seeing planes start - just started seeing planes start taking off in the last couple of hours. they resumed at about half past four and there longest flight has just taken up behind past four and there longest flight hasjust taken up behind us. this airport normally very busy, like you say, lots of holiday—makers trying to make their way either abroad or back to the uk. that hasn't happened today. a very few amount of planes actually taking off. the airport, flights have been cancelled do not travel to the airport, but for many people, they had had their flights delayed. have a look at the departure board here from leeds bradford airports. lots and lots of flights all of those are still being delayed, but they are still saying if they are wanting to come to the airport we will try to get you on planes. jet two, which is based here said they were sorry for the delays that people have been expecting. they said earlier that their team were working incredibly hard to communicate with a look after their customers. we do know inside the terminal which is very busy there are people here who have been here for many, many hours. they are stuck in the airports potentially across the world are travelling to airports. they are being told by their airlines that they can try to make their way there and they will still try to board people as expected at the time they were meant to be there. we do know from one person who has been sapped at the airport they've been sapped on the floor for hours waiting for any kind of news as to whether they are coming home today or not. in shaft one holiday—makers from sheffield was meant to be flying home today from gran canaria. his flight was cancelled and says he's not struggling to find any direct flight to come home in the next few days. doesn't know what's going to happen. he spoke into his hotel trying to find a room for the night. they were told that on sunday, there were going to be potentially having an offer of a flight home, but for a lot of people theyjust don't know. we are about to see a ryanair flight taking off, moving its way towards the runway now. one of only half a dozen flights that have been taking off. they did control much of the air traffic control systems here in the uk. so when something like this happens, which is very rare. it has a huge knock on effect. basically it's an issue affecting its ability to automatically process flight plans. so we heard from sabella braverman a short time ago that instead of them being able to process them automatically and get those flight plans on the system and get people in the air, instead, what it's going to be doing is having to file those flight plans manually. —— we heard from suella braverman. i just can't do it on the scale they normally would. they said the airspace wasn't closed, but there where restrictions being put in to keep people safe. some flights were taking off, but from a lot of airports like here at the leeds bradford, they were going to be doing that. instead, they were going to be telling people to see just how they could get this resolved. engineers are working round—the—clock from that to try to get people in the air, get people on their way. a bank holiday monday, which of course is very busy for people. so trying to get people in the air and trying to get them to where they want to be. that the air and trying to get them to where they want to be. at leeds bradford airports, _ where they want to be. at leeds bradford airports, thank- where they want to be. at leeds bradford airports, thank you - where they want to be. at leeds| bradford airports, thank you very much indeed. that is the situation here in the uk. as was mentioned, a number of passengers stuck abroad. going live now

has been following the story. i'm standing in alton right on the edge of the existing ulez, and that sign their tails driver as they are entering the current zone. from tomorrow, ulez is expanding to cover a much bigger area, all london boroughs, and that includes some quite big destinations. heathrow airport, wembley stadium, chesaning ten world of adventure is to name a few. and that means drivers going into that expanded area will all have to pay the £12 50 daily charge if their vehicle doesn't meet certain emission standards. so it is all their most polluting vehicles that are being targeted by the ulez charge. that has led to a lot of people particularly if they live in london or drive into the city for work every day. there is some financial help available for londoners if they want to scrap their existing car and get one that does comply, grants of up to £2000 are available and more than 13,000 are available and more than 13,000 are said to have been approved so far. the mayor of london has insisted that expanding ulez is a necessary step to help to clean up the air and improve public health. but there has been a lot of criticism, including for the financial impact on people and businesses at a high costs of living. some councils are very unhappy about it. five conservative run councils mounted a legal challenge. that failed. some neighbouring councils are still refusing to put up ulez warning signs on roads into london, but after all the debate and discussion we have seen in recent months over whether this is the best way to clean up the air without hitting people too hard in the pockets, tomorrow, ulez is expanding as planned. a huge totem pole is said to be returned to canada nearly a century after it was sold to a museum in scotland. it was carved from red cedar wood in the mid—19th century and stands at around 11 metres tall and weighs a tonne. indigenous researchers say the pole was stolen and members of the nation in northwest british columbia have been taking part in a ceremony to prepare it for the journey back of more than 4000 miles. it's very significant, it's morning paul. when you think about these totem poles, we have many than and each one represents a constitutional chapter in our relationship to the lands that we belong to. smalltooth sand tiger sharks have been seen three times in british and irish waters this year — further north than ever before — and ended up stranded and dying on beaches. these pictures are from county wexford on the east coast of ireland earlier this year. now a report has been published investigating why. lets speak now to drjenny bortoluzzi, from trinity college dublin. she's one of the report's authors and joins me now from kent. what did you find! think ofjaws — do these sharks pose so, what did you actually find? thanks for having me. so what we found are these sharks are likely appearing in our water is due to change in ocean conditions. this year, the uk, the british isles and the north sea have all experienced hotter than normal c temperature is and we've also had a marine heatwave. so it's causing what we think is happening, causing these animals to be able to move further north than they have previously been recorded add because they are able to enter our waters because of these temperatures. d0 to enter our waters because of these temperatures-—

and sunday. monday's showers were, generally speaking, lighter in nature. now, tomorrow, there will be some showers once again, and actually, they could be set to turn heavier as this cold front pushes its way southwards and eastwards. along the line of this weather front, we could see some very heavy downpours, maybe the odd thunderstorm. we'll see some of that heavy thundery rain pushing its way southeast was across scotland overnight. some showery rain, too, into parts of northern ireland and northern england. ahead of that, quite a lot of cloud, but behind it, clear skies developing across much of scotland and northern ireland by dawn — so that means a mostly sunny start here as our band of showers pushes southwards and eastwards across england and wales. the showers tending to ease off for a time, but i think as we head into the afternoon and that showery rain gets down into the southeast corner, it could pep up once again. and at the same time, another band of heavy showers and the odd thunderstorm will push southwards across scotland. temperature—wise, we're looking at values between 15—21 celsius. and then, as we move through tuesday evening, along the line of our cold front, we could see the odd thunderstorm in the southeast corner. our area of low pressure still fairly close by on wednesday, so there will still be some showers, especially across northern and eastern parts of the uk. further south and west, more in the way of dry weather, some spells of sunshine before our next weather system begins to push in from the west. wednesday's temperatures generally between 15—20, maybe up to 21 degrees. now, as we move into thursday, we will see our next weather system running in from the atlantic — that will bring cloud and outbreaks of rain. there's

ireland, as well. much of scotland looks set to be dry with some spells of sunshine, and temperatures north to south, 14—19, maybe up to 20 celsius for the end of the week, and certainly into the weekend, it looks like high pressure will try to build. now, there's a bit of uncertainty about this, about how strongly the high will build, but there certainly are signs that as we move through the end of the week, into the weekend, we could see some drier weather. live from london, this is bbc news. spain prosecutors open a preliminary sex abuse probe over luis rubiales' kiss. an urgent meeting
