thursday, they may drift steadily north wards on thursday, very hit—and—miss, you will feed to keep abreast of the forecast buzz the position of the showers and the frequency mayjust change a bit but as we go through thursday, dry, settled sunny, very warm if not hot and that story is set to continue as we head into the weekend as well. thanks, louise. and that's bbc news at six. hello, and welcome to sportsday this monday night. i'm chetan pathak. coming up on the programme... the newly—turned pro who'll be playing for europe at the ryder cup. we'll talk your through today's wild card picks. the biggest match of his life — canjack draper reach his first grand slam quarter final? we'll bring you the latest from new york where the women's world number one has already been knocked out, who can replace iga swiatek at the top of the sport? also coming up on sportsday... 500 up for the 90—year—old who's setting records at parkrun. if who's setting records at parkrun. i can't do it today well if i can't do it today, i might as well give up. welcome along, thank you forjoining us. we now know the european line—up for golf�*s ryder cup, which begins later this month. before today, rory mcilroy, jon rahm, viktor hovland, tyrrell hatton, matt fitzpatrick, and bob macintyre were the first six players to automatically qualify through the european and world points lists. that meant six other players could be selected by captain luke donald — and today, he revealed his six wild card picks. the most eyecatching is this one — ludvig aberg, the 23—year—old from sweden who only turned professional injune, and who won yesterday's european masters in switzerland, has now become the first ryder cup player in history who's never played at a major. tommy fleetwood, sepp straka, justin rose, shane lowry, and nicolai hojgaard complete the 12—man team to face the united states in rome from 29 septmber. understandably, it was aberg that was the biggest tallking point for the captain at today's press conference. really, i needed to see him perform these last two weeks. it certainly wasn't a guarantee before that, and his commitment to come over and finishing fifth, that obviously what he did yesterday and throughout the whole week, during his last forjust solidified my mind, really. again, there was all to play for these last couple weeks, it really wasn't decided firmly in my mind. with more on this, i'm joined by our golf correspondent iain carter. this has been a busy afternoon for you so far. ludvig aberg — what makes him so special and having not played a major is this too soon? i think we saw what makes him so special yesterday. certain golfers, certain athletes have that x factor that means they're able to seize the moment, and that's exactly what he did yesterday, four birdies in the last five holes to plan his first professional title on the eve of the announcement of the ryder cup team and the wild card pics. he knew he had to do it, played very well in the czech republic the week before, and he played with luke donald in detroit earlier in the summer, really impressed with some low—scoring there. so every time he's needed to impress, he's done it. this often the back of a world number one, he's seen as a generational talent and that's why he's in this european ryder cup team. , ., , he's in this european ryder cup team. , . , . ,

some question marks around shane lowery? i rose, some question marks around shane lowery?— shane lowery? i don't think there was any questions _ shane lowery? i don't think there was any questions over— shane lowery? i don't think there was any questions over whether l shane lowery? i don't think there - was any questions over whether shane lowery would be picked, it was obvious luke donald was going for him because of his big—time experience. but you look at his results and they haven't been good. he tried to impress the captain in the czech republic, he missed the cup a couple weeks ago, hasn't had a top ten since february, so there are concerns about his form. but i think he's a very well—balanced team, all that experience ofjustin rose coming in, and the youngsters, not just ludvig aberg — that was the last decision he had to make, was it ludvig aberg or adrian? we last decision he had to make, was it ludvig aberg or adrian?— ludvig aberg or adrian? we know lowe is ludvig aberg

i think he'll be the - most frustrated because he had an opportunity yesterday if he could have finished high enough in the top two to edge bob mcintyre out of the automatic qualifying places. so he came close to doing enough when there were only six automatic spots, and he won the italian open on that golf course. so he had a very strong case, but ultimately i think ludvig aberg just shifted the emphasis away and someone had to be the fall guy. how are you feeling about it? he's not one on european soil in years, is is the best chance to do it? i think so, they are coming off a margin of winning and straights, they are much more about camaraderie, ratherthan they are much more about camaraderie, rather than going down the rankings list in terms of assembling their team. sectjohnson says they are the underdogs, i asked luke donald if he was the favourite, he said they were the underdogs. nobody wants that favourites tag, but i think they are two very well—balanced teams who both have four rookies, as well. well-balanced teams who both have four rookies, as well.— four rookies, as well. fascinating, or build no — four rookies, as well. fascinating, or build up starts _ four

months and months of talking and talking, and we are just really glad we're here to start it. tonight is the night britian's jack draper plays the biggest match of his life so far. it's the first time he's reached the second week of a grand slam, can he reach the quarterfinals. the second week of a grand slam, andrey rublev is his opponent, the russian is the favourite, an eight?—time grand slam quarter finalist including at wimbledon this year. —— eight time grand slam quarterfinal list. our tennis correspondent russell fuller is at flushing meadows. this is much anticipated and you mentioned this, i'm not surprised to see draper go this far, but to happen now in a year that's been riddled with injury issues, that's some achievement? i riddled with injury issues, that's some achievement?— some achievement? i think it's something _ some achievement? i think it's something we _ some achievement? i think it's something we will _ some achievement? i think it's something we will see - some achievement? i think it's something we will see many i some achievement? i think it's - something we will see many times over the years, and hopefully draper will be able to go quite a bit further than the fourth round of a grand slam. if you can make sure he can put these visible problems that are certainly troubling his career in the first 2—3 years on tour. will it happen today? i think he says that left shoulder he tore at the french open which only allowed him to return to competitive action in the middle of august is not a major concern for him at the moment. the other issue must be how much physically does he have left in the tank stamina wise? he's been working very hard on his fitness when he's not been able to serve and practice in the way he wants because of the left shoulder. but even if you spent a lot of time at the gym building up yourstamina, a lot of time at the gym building up your stamina, there's no replica for playing matches are on the court. he's only dropped one set so far but it's very hot and humid again in new york today, and this is the fourth best of five matches in the space of eight days, and it's against one of the best players in the world, trying to reach a night grand slam quarterfinal today.— quarterfinaltoday. group love is clearly the _ quarterfinaltoday. group love is clearly the favour _ quarterfinaltoday. group love is clearly the favour in _ quarterfinaltoday. group love is clearly the favour in this - quarterfinaltoday. group love is clearly the favour in this but - quarterfinaltoday. group love is clearly the favour in this but i i clearly the favour in this but i don't want to get caught up. ijust wonderforjack draper,, i'm not saying draper is about to win the us open, but whatever happens to draper tonight, how can this help in going forward? we know what the pressures are like in wimbledon in particular, this is great experience for him to have hip in the locker at 21. i think it's always very important for a player even though i know draper has a lot of confidence in his own abilities, but it's ushering to see that he can at least get to the stage at 21 and after so long as i've been explaining. there's no question he has the talent, he's six tall which makes him a serious opponent for anybody on the tour, and he's at the beginning of his career. so every time you can go into the second week of a grand slam, it makes a big difference to a player plus my confidence and output to come. he's shown he can do at the open before... because of a growing problem, so slowly and surely, the rest of the locker room or knowing what he can do, the question and other player's so far has been, can he survive physically? we will see how he fares and what is a very impressive weather day. we how he fares and what is a very impressive weather day. we will let ou aet off impressive weather day. we will let you get off and _ impressive weather day. we will let you get off and watch _

way, our tennis correspondent in new york at flushing meadows, thank you. next to the women's draw — where there will definitely be a first time us open champion after last year's winner, the world number one, iga swiatek, went out in the fourth round. beaten by the former french open championjelena ostapenko for the fourth time in a row. it was an inspired performance from the latvian, who came from a set down to win. ostapenko was agressive throughout and hit 31 winners. by contrast, swiatek really struggled at times and made a host of unforced errors. after winning the second set 6—3, ostapenko completely dominated the decider to win it 6—1. she'll face american sixth seed coco gauff in the quarterfinals. swiatek�*s previous defeat to ostapenko was in february last year. since then, she's spent an incredible 75—weeks as the women's world number one, winning three of her four grand slam titles. as i mentioned, she was a set—up against ostapenko yesterday, before the 20th seed took control of the match. that's the first time swiatek has lost after winning the opening set since last october. her defeat — the shock of the tournament so far — ends a 56—match winning streak, and means she'll now lose the world number one ranking. aryna sabalenka, who plays herfourth round match against daria kasatkina in a few hours, is now guaranteed to replace her after the us open. we'll hear from swiatek in a moment — but first, here's ostapenko on her night to remember. i was just trying to make it hard for her and to play my game, and to fight until the very last point. i knew there would be moments when i had chances and i waited for them, evenin had chances and i waited for them, even in the second set it was a bit tricky, but i was still playing and fighting. and yeah, i think i dominated at the end of the match. it's never easy, but usually i know what _ it's never easy, but usually i know what to _ it's never easy, but usually i know what to do — it's never easy, but usually i know what to do and i can feel like was doing _ what to do and i can feel like was doing wrong. but this time, my mistakes — doing wrong. but this time, my mistakes were so huge

opening weekend, england will play argentina, scotland the world champions south africa, wales—fiji and ireland—romania. we've been hearing from some of the home nations about their preparations today — as ben croucher now reports. welcome to the rugby world cup. there's many a method to agree teams in france — some involve irishmen doing a nordic applause and a grand theatre tour. others get pep

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 eubankjrfor the british fighter�*s rematch win over liam smith on saturday. mcintyre was arrested at the airport on sunday, as he prepared to board a flight back to the us. he was remanded in custody by magistrates on monday, and is due appear at manchester crown court next month. a man has been arrested on suspicion of assaulting roy keane during arsenal's win over manchester united on sunday. ex—united captain keane was part of the sky sports presentation team at the match. footage on social media showed keane and fellow pundit micah richards involved in an altercation with an individual. jadon sancho says he is being used as a scapegoat after manchester united boss, erik ten hag, said he was dropped for sunday's game at arsenal because of poor training performance. the england forward did not travel to the game, which united lost 3—1. but the player hit back on social media, saying... he's been left out because apparently he's not been training particularly great. and he comes out defending that he's been doing exactly what he needs to do in training. so we don't know what's going on there, it's hard to really start pointing your finger until you know the exact details. i've been in that exact situation myself, so i kind of understand how it works. but yeah, it's a little bit strange at the minute, i have to say. now, it's a big week for wales — and rob page, whose hopes of competing at euro 2024, hang in the balance. they're fourth in group d and, after a friendly against south korea, then take on latvia in group d of qualifying. today, the players were back training and are under pressure with wales having won only one of their past 12 games. captain aaron ramsey spoke to the media this morning and wants fans to keep perspective following a turbulent year. he's says he's right behind the manager and his staff. we are all behind the gaffer. i think what he's done has been quite remarkable, you know, coming in and the circumstances that he did, getting into a european championship. now we've gone for a transitional period, we've lost some big players —— through a transitional period. it was always going to be difficult, and we've lost some staff, as well, and that's been a bit of a change. let's stay with the welsh team. the tour of britain moved to wales today for the second stage of the race. it started and finished in wrexham, with olaf coy winning again to retain the overall lead ahead of his team mate wout van aert. britain's ethan vernon and thomas pidcock are sixth and ninth respectively. nick parrott reports. wrexham is better known for football than cycling. the tour of britain hadn't visited the city for eight years. but on its return, it brought some of the sport starts with that. belgium's wout van aert and britain's tom pit caught, the world and olympic mountain bike champion. for the state had probably got on its way, carlos rodriguez took a tumble. it wouldn't be there day. with this being the shortest stage of the race, a small breakaway group were caught with eight miles to go, setting up a frantic —— to the finish. less than a mile from the end, olaf coy collided. the day and was able to get back on his bike remarkably and make it to the finish. olaf coy wasn't put off and power to head to claim his second consecutive win and retain the overall lead. with the next four stages relatively flat, there are assured to be more thrills and spills. nick parrott, bbc news. next tonight to one of my favourite stories. 90—year—old bob emmerson is a bit special. he's just become the oldest man to complete 500 parkruns. and he's

smoothly from a security point of view, and there's a real hope and exultation this world cup will be rendered for all the right reasons, both on and off the field.— both on and off the field. bearing

to that world cup on the bbc sport website, jack draper down 2—1. from me on the team, good night. hello there. it's remaining settled, sunny, dry, and very warm this week. in fact, it could turn pretty hot across parts of england and wales around the middle part of the week, with increasing humidity as well. there will always be the chance of some mist and fog through the morning, and an increasing chance around the middle part of the week for a few showers, mainly towards western areas, closer to this area of low pressure. but high pressure will continue to dominate the scene for most of the country. tuesday promises to be another dry, sunny and very warm one, in fact, turning hotter across southern areas as we import the air off the near continent. now, as we head through tonight, many places will have clear skies, a bit of mist and fog developing once again, just a very small chance of a shower pushing into the far southwest. quite a muggy night across the south, generally mild for most. still a few chilly spots across some of the scottish glens. tuesday, then, we start off with some mist and fog, always more cloud across northern scotland, certainly into the northern isles. and there's a very slim chance of a shower pushing into the southwest of england, south wales, northern ireland. most places will stay dry, sunny, and very warm with the mid to high 20s for most. getting close to 30 celsius across the south east. through tuesday night, once again, we'll see the mist and fog returning. in fact, we could see a bit more extensive low cloud mist and fog across some coastal areas and across northern england into scotland, but clearer skies elsewhere. and i think a warmer night to come across scotland. then we start wednesday off with that cloud through central northern areas. that should tend to melt away, could have some low cloud and mist hugging some coastal areas. otherwise, for most against another dry, sunny and a hot day. we could be up to 31 celsius or so across the southeast, mid to high 20s further north. now, as you move out to wednesday to thursday, this is where we could see an increasing chance of showers, mainly, we think, towards western and northern areas through the day. so these showers, thunderstorms, may drift their way northwards through thursday morning, parking themselves towards northern scotland through the afternoon. most places after any mist and fog, players will have another dry, sunny and a hot day. increasingly humid as well, up to around 30 celsius in the southeast, mid 20s further north. temperatures come down a little bit across scotland, northern ireland this weekend, one or two showers, but it stays hot for england and wales. it's not until we get into next week where things turn cool and fresher for most. live from london. this is bbc news. an awkward day for rishi sunak, as the prime minister denies overseeing budget cuts that led to crumbling concrete in hundreds of schools across england not being repaired. president erdogan of turkey, who's been meeting vladimir putin, says he's optimistic a deal can be revived allowing ukraine to export grain via the black sea. and touching bass — the guitar that's been missing for half—a—century, that paul mccartney wants to, well, get back. hello, i'm yalda hakim. welcome to the daily global, where we'll bring you the top stories from around the world. the debate over the safety of school buildings in england has intensified, with the uk's prime minister having to deny overseeing budget cuts that led to crumbling concrete in schools not being repaired. today, a former senior civil servant told the bbc that rishi sunak halved the money available for recommended safety work when he was in charge of the nation's finances in 2021. more than 100 schools in england have closed buildings because of problems with what's called reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete, or raac. as well as causing anxiety for children, parents and teachers, it has also provoked a full—blown political row, as our political editor, chris mason, reports. you probably hadn't heard of it until the other day, but this stuff — concrete that can get crumbly — is building into a political mess. did rishi sunak, when he was chancellor, walk away from repairs happening sooner?
