sancho says he's been made a scapegoat at the club. it's after manager erik ten hag didn't pick him in his squad yesterday — due to his performances in training. but sancho has hit back, saying "please don't believe everything you read. i wont allow people saying things that are completely untrue." before adding, "i've been a scapegoat for a long time, which isn't fair". former united striker dwight yorke has had his say. he's been left out because apparently he's not been training particularly great. and he comes out saying he's been doing exactly what he needs to be doing in training, so we don't know what's going on there. it's hard to start pointing your finger and to know the exact details. i've been in that situation, so i kind of understand how it works. but it's a bit strange at the minute, i have to say. just four days to go until the start of the rugby world cup in france, and as the preparations for that epic opening match between the hosts and new zealand enter theirfinal stages, the french team were joined by their president, emmanuel macron, at their marcoussis training base. france are among the favourites to lift the webb ellis cup, alongside the all blacks, ireland and reigning champions south africa. world rugby chair bill beaumont has also welcomed the newest nations to qualify for the competition, as the countdown to kick off continues. the stage is set. now it is down to the teams to perform. i think it is fair to say that the action will be compelling, spectacular and unpredictable. boxing trainer brian mcintyre has been charged with possession of a firearm after a gun was found in luggage at manchester airport. the 53—year—old trained chris eubank jrfor the briton�*s rematch victory over liam smith on saturday. he was arrested at the airport on sunday, as he prepared to board a flight back to the us. mcintyre was remanded in custody by magistrates on monday and is due appear at manchester crown court next month. and after novak djokovic cruised through on sunday night, it's another big day ahead at the us open, as british hopes in the men's singles rest with jack draper later, who takes on the eighth seed andrey rublev. the 21—year—old, who is the world number 123, has battled through injuries including a shoulder problem to enjoy his best ever run at a grand slam in making the last 16. he's met rublev twice before, with the russian coming out on top on both occasions. and that's all the sport for now. we will be back with more later on. see you then. thank you, gavin. more now on the row over crumbling concrete in england and scotland. we can now cross live to westminster and speak to our chief political correspondent henry. you have a new development on that story, haven't you? that henry. you have a new development on that story, haven't you?— that story, haven't you? that is riuht. that story, haven't you? that is right- we _ that story, haven't you? that is right. we have _ that story, haven't you? that is right. we have been _ that story, haven't you? that is right. we have been hearing i that story, haven't you? that is right. we have been hearing al that story, haven't you? that is l right. we have been hearing a lot about schools but one of the reasons people in government are so concerned about this issue as it wasn'tjust concerned about this issue as it wasn't just school is concerned about this issue as it wasn'tjust school is built concerned about this issue as it wasn't just school is built with their specific type of concrete in decades gone by. all sorts of other public buildings were built with it. what i have learned is that the ministry ofjustice, which is in charge of prisons, courts and things like that, has ordered an urgent survey of many of its court buildings in the last few days. they actually did a survey of buildings built with this kind of concrete last year and they did that survey looking at the buildings that they thought might be, might be at risk of difficulty and they said afterwards that they had successfully found six buildings where there might be a bit of a problem, replaced the country and all courts were certified as safe. but what i've learned is they didn't include buildings built in the 19905 because that was later than people thought concrete might be a problem. well the problem with that is that last week, the government had to close a court in north london, in harrow, because it had this kind of concrete and it was deemed at risk and that was built in the 19905, so that means the government has had to basically expand the scope of its inquiries and you have opposition figures, the labour party, 5aying, hang on, what does it tell us about the surveys we've done in schools and other parts of the country, other parts of government, how can we trust them now? so other parts of government, how can we trust them now?— other parts of government, how can we trust them now? so this could be a much more — we trust them now? so this could be a much more widespread _ we trust them now? so this could be a much more widespread problem. l we trust them now? so this could be i a much more widespread problem. stay with us because there is another problem that has landed on the government's door5tep this afternoon and that is gillian keegan the education secretary has been caught on camera voicing her frustrations about the coverage of the concrete row. in footage filmed by the bbc, gillian keegan, 5till row. in footage filmed by the bbc, gillian keegan, still wearing her microphone, criticised others and claimed the government had gone over and above when it comes to addressing concerns relating to that raac concrete. let's have a listen to that. , ., raac concrete. let's have a listen to that. ,., raac concrete. let's have a listen to that. _, ., to that. does anyone ever say, do ou to that. does anyone ever say, do you know. — to that. does anyone ever say, do you know. you've _ to that. does anyone ever say, do you know, you've done _ to that. does anyone ever say, do you know, you've done a - to that. does anyone ever say, do you know, you've done a bleep . you know, you've done a bleep good 'ob you know, you've done a bleep good job because _ you know, you've done a bleep good job because everyone - you know, you've done a bleep good job because everyone has| you know, you've done a bleep . good job because everyone has sat you know, you've done a bleep - good job because everyone has sat on the bleep and do nothing. no signs of that? at and do nothing. no signs of that? at a time and do nothing. no signs of that? a time and and do nothing. no signs of that? git a time and everybody is waiting to from m5 keegan about how many schools are impacted by this concrete problem, we now have this? to state the obvious, it is not a good look for gillian keegan at a time when she is at the heart of i think it is fair to say a mess engulfing government. downing street has already come out and said that what gillian keegan 5aid has already come out and said that what gillian keegan said was wrong. she is up in the house of commons ju5t she is up in the house of commons just over the road from where i am now later, having to account for the government's actions. but i suspect she's also going to be made to account for her words and it's just account for her words and it's just a distraction at a time when the government isju5t a distraction at a time when the government is just battling to look like it has a grip. so it's really not a very positive development from the government's point of view. the? the government's point of view. they alwa s sa the government's point of view. they always say you _ the government's point of view. they always say you are — the government's point of view. they always say you are never alone with always say you are never alone with a microphone, so we always have to be careful, even in this a microphone, so we always have to be careful, even in thi5job a microphone, so we always have to be careful, even in this job as well. going back to the more substantive i55ue well. going back to the more substantive issue about the concrete, we also heard from the prime minister earlier today, defending accu5ation5 prime minister earlier today, defending accusations that he could have done more when he was serving as chancellor? that have done more when he was serving as chancellor?— as chancellor? that is right. it is really not _ as chancellor? that is right. it is really not ideal. _ as chancellor? that is right. it is really not ideal. i _ as chancellor? that is right. it is really not ideal. i keep _ as chancellor? that is right. it is really not ideal. i keep saying i really not ideal. i keep saying things have been bad for government mini5ter5 today but that is just true and that started with rishi sunak this morning. we had a former head officialfrom the department for education, jonathan slater, come out and basically 5quarely lay the blame or at least a big part of the blame or at least a big part of the blame for this situation getting so bad at the door of rishi sunak. he said that when rishi sunak wa5 chancellor, the treasury, which he was running, cut the number of schools that had the money to be repaired. in fact, schools that had the money to be repaired. infact, cut schools that had the money to be repaired. in fact, cut them schools that had the money to be repaired. infact, cut them in schools that had the money to be repaired. in fact, cut them in half when the department for education wanted them to be doubled if not tripled. rishi sunak say5 wanted them to be doubled if not tripled. rishi sunak says that it's rubbish but i think whatever the rights and wrongs, the fact that the prime minister has ended up bogged down in these questions of what he did or didn't do and what he should or should not have done a few years backi5 or should not have done a few years back is just a bad to look and a distraction for a prime minister who actually wants to demonstrate he is gripping this issue. so actually wants to demonstrate he is gripping this issue.— gripping this issue. so what is the way forward _ gripping this issue. so what is the way forward now? _ gripping this issue. so what is the way forward now? we _ gripping this issue. so what is the way forward now? we are - gripping this issue. so what is the i way forward now? we are expecting, are we, to hearfrom someone in the government later this afternoon and it house of commons? yes. government later this afternoon and it house of commons?— it house of commons? yes, from gillian keegan, _ it house of commons? yes, from gillian keegan, the _ it house of commons? yes, from gillian keegan, the education - gillian keegan, the education secretary, probably using somewhat different language to the clip you played of commons? yes, from gillian keegan, the education secretary, probably using somewhat different language to the clip you played offer earlier. and i expect an intense torrent of questions from mp5, notjust on the opposition side, the labour party and others, but also from her own benches because so many schools are affected that they are likely to be a many different constituencies and that means the members of parliament post bags will be swelling with concerned parents and is just the kind bags will be swelling with concerned parents and isjust the kind of issue that mp5 will really hear a lot about from their constituents and i think it will run and run and run. 50 and i think it will run and run and run, , , , ., and i think it will run and run and run. , , , run. so briefly, in terms of parents who are watching _ run. so briefly, in terms of parents who are watching this _ run. so briefly, in terms of parents who are watching this and - run. so briefly, in terms of parents who are watching this and who - run. so briefly, in terms of parents who are watching this and who are | who are watching this and who are concerned about whether their children will now be in condemned classrooms, what is the advice that is being issued on that front? the advice is to wait and hear from their schools. gillian keegan said this morning that the government would publish nationally a list of the affected schools later this week but she said theyjust the affected schools later this week but she said they just want to the affected schools later this week but she said theyjust want to go around and sort of make sure the fine detail is correct. but i think there are parents everywhere who are just desperate to know once and for all. the problem is, ithink just desperate to know once and for all. the problem is, i think the government doesn't yet know once and for which schools are and are not affected. i think that is one of the reasons this will run for a bit longer. reasons this will run for a bit loner. , ' ., ., . longer. henry zeffman, our chief olitical longer. henry zeffman, our chief political reporter _ longer. henry zeffman, our chief political reporter in _ longer. henry zeffman, our chief| political reporter in westminster, thank you for bringing this up—to—date. we do have much more on the ongoing story there, including many more questions are answered about what raac is in the first place. you can go to the bbc news website and go to our live page. just before we go, we have an update on the talks between russia's vladimir putin and turki's president ada whan. you can see him there. we are hearing vladimir putin says russia is ready to revive that grain deal if demands are met. turkey's president erdogan expressed optimism earlier that a new agreement could be reached with russia, allowing ships safe passage through the black sea. it comes after that deal was scrapped about six weeks ago. more on that with matthew coming up here on that with matthew coming up here on bbc news. hello there. it is set to turn even warmer this week, increasing humidity as well so starting to feel more uncomfortable particularly at night. but much of the country will hold onto dry and sunny weather. however, we will have some mist and fog during the mornings and increasingly towards the end of the week as we pick up more humidity, we will see coastal mist and murk too. high pressure over the near continent, seeing the air coming up from the south and south—east. later in the week will start to draw in humid air as well and temperatures reaching the low 305 across central and southern areas. the rest of the day is fine, dry, sunny and warm with that front in the far north of scotland. more cloud here, 16 in lerwick, but across the uk we are looking at the mid to high 205. through tonight, a dry and largely clear one. some mist and fog patches returning once again but a mild night to come for most areas. some single digits in some rural spots. tuesday, some early mist and fog in places. a small chance of a shower towards the far south—west of the country otherwise most places dry, sunny and very warm. even quite hot as we head into the afternoon. mid 205 across central scotland. high 205, close to 30 degrees across parts of england and wales. wednesday, a bit more cloud is in the mix in northern areas. that will burn back to the coast. a bit of coastal mist and murk, turning more humid at this point but again another hot and sunny day, up to 30 in the south. perhaps 31 in the south—east. it's the mid 205 further north. wednesday into thursday... a few weather fronts thrown our way, that could increase the shower activity. some of these showers could be thundery in nature. a bit of mist and fog to start the day again on thursday. 0therwise, another hot and sunny day. temperatures reaching 30. still quite warm further north, but at this point we've got higher humidity. into next weekend, temperatures start to come down. increasing showers in the north. it's not until the following week that things cool down further. live from london — this is bbc news. "don't blame me" — rishi sunak says he's not responsible for failing to tackle the issue of unsafe concrete in school buldings across the uk. i think that is completely and utterly wrong and one of the first things i did as chancellor was to launch a new ten yearfunding programme for rebuilding schools. his education secretary is caught on camera complaining that ministers are not getting enough credit for their handling of the problem. does anyone ever say, - you have done a- good job because everyone else has sat on their bleep and done nothing? no signs of that, no? kenya hosts africa's first climate summit — an attempt to try to tackle a problem affecting the whole continent. and — beware the asian hornet — a warning it could have catastrophic consequences for the uk's bee population. hello, i'm matthew amroliwala. welcome to verified live, three hours of breaking stories, and checking out the truth behind them. let's start with the story that's dominated the uk political agenda for the last few days. rishi sunak says it's "utterly wrong" to blame him — for failing to tackle the issue of unsafe concrete in school buldings. a5 thousands of children return to classrooms today after the summer break — it's emerged that more than a hundred schools in england and scotland will be closed — or partially shut.
