i'm hugh ferris. our headlines this evening: luis diaz�* emotional week ends with a crucial liverpool goal. his injury time equaliser denies luton a famous premier league win. for him to have come on and scored a goal that is really great, it is one of those emotional stories. besides that, we should have done better. a new manager so far unbeaten, and now with a cup final. philippe clement's rangers run takes them past hearts at hampden. a first wsl defeat of the season for manchester city as arsenal grab a late winner. also coming up on sportsday: in the spotlight again — virat kohli makes a record—equalling century as india sweep aside another world cup opponent. hello again. welcome to the programme. luton were moments away from a first ever premier league home win, but it was luis diaz who denied them. a week and a day after his father was kidnapped, the colombian came off the bench to secure liverpool a one all draw at kenilworth road. nick parrott reports. a week after his parents were kidnapped in colombia, luis diaz was backin kidnapped in colombia, luis diaz was back in the squad. his mother has been freed but his father hasn't. the coach said that it was his decision and the signs are positive. they arrived at kenilworth road with their best start to a season since their best start to a season since the start of the lead. but they couldn't get a breakthrough in the first half. they were fireworks on the horizon, but liverpool's display remains one of frustration, with mac allister picking up a one match ban for his first booking of the season. as the match went on, it was luton that looks more likely to score as liverpool were unable to hit the proverbial barn door. —— that looked more likely to score. brian graf and beau could at least force a save, but liverpool's wistfulness was to come back to bite them. this sense the home fans delirious as they fought their first win of the season was in reach, but ds was on the pitch now and he was determined to make his mark and sent out a message. —— luis diaz was on the pitch. freedom for dad, some things are more important. luton hadn't even led a match at home since their return to the top flight, let alone won all three points. but they were denied by a team who avoided a third straight defeat away to a newly promoted side. liverpool keeper alisson says playing can bring a �*slice ofjoy�* to luis diaz. whilejurgen klopp was grateful for his colombian forward stepping up after a difficult week. a wonderful highlights what is in a game that didn't have a lot of highlights what is. luis diaz coming on and scoring a goal was really great, but besides that, we should have done better. credit to luton, they did well, but we had our moments and we think it is a fair result that both teams deserve. we up result that both teams deserve. we up a fighting and i absolutely respect that a lot. defensively and from the organisational _ respect that a lot. defensively and from

nottingham forest prevented aston villa from going third by beating them 2—0 at the city ground. ola aina and orel mangala with the goals for forest as they win for the first time in seven premier league games. natalie pirks reports. forest fans in full voice at their fortress. they have only seen two league defeats here since last september. and they didn't have long to wait before their team showed there is no place like home. fast starts are one thing, but keeping up the pressure is another. but as villa probed for an equaliser, forest was showing they were defensively on the game too. they were first backward off the mark. —— they were 1—0 quick off the mark. you suspect the freshly crowned world's best keeper wouldn't want to keep this back. but their previously red—hot strike force was being frozen out. bearing barely any of the possession but all of the points, forest had rained on villa's parade. so, a big win for nottingham forest but manager steve cooper is keeping grounded and insists they're still finding their feet in the premier league a year and a bit in. we've still got loads of new players that are trying to fit into how we want to play and we are not an established team yet. that is the exciting bit about where we're at as a club, it is only our second season in the premier league and you want to get in a certain way that you really belong here, and we're still trying to build that. we are trying to get there and there is a lot of hard work, but that starts with attitude and commitment and believing in each other, and we have that. five more fa cup matches today with the highest ranked side in the first round, portsmouth, dumped out by non—league chesterfield. tom naylor headed home the only goal of the game against his former side to knock out the league one leaders. it's portsmouth�*s first defeat since march. chesterfield will play leyton orient at home in round two. slough town were 15 minutes away from a memorable victory over league two grimsby town when player—manager scott davies scored a screamer. but danny rose's equaliser means they'll have to do it all again a week on tuesday derby county needed a second half comeback too against crewe — of the league below. trailing 2—0 going into the 89th minute, they scored twice in four minutes to rescue a draw. elsewhere, fleetwood beat kidderminster. 117 places separate charlton athletic and cray valley paper mills of the eighth tier. but it's going to a replay after a dramatic equaliser for the non—league side early in the second half. charlton defender lucas ness putting the ball into his own net. after ten minutes added time, there were some pretty wild celebrations. in the last few minutes, the magic of the cup on full display forfans and players alike. from both 12 and 20 yards, rangers captainjames tavernier was on target to help send his team to the scottish league cup final. he got two of rangers goals as they beat hearts 3—1 at hampden park, asjoe lynskey reports. he has been rangers' manager forjust three weeks. for philippe clement, this is the best kind of bounce. in a league cup semifinal at hampden park, they faced hearts, a team rangers hadn't lost two in more than three years. the chance from the spot went to james tavernier, their right back who has now scored more than 100 rangers goals. this is a cup they have not won in 12 years. for this club, that is too long, but one more goal brought them in sight. finding the corner was substitute scott wright who was born and bred in aberdeen, the team they will face in the final. rangers wrapped it up with another right—foot swing, and this time, james tavernier found the corner with help from team—mates in the wall. rangers were soaring, hearts were broken, they did score from the spot but it is philippe clement's side who go on. he is not long in thejob but he is one match for a trophy. meanwhile in the scottish premiership, another stunning free kick. it came from luke mccowan as dundee beat livingston 1—0 to move back into the top six. in the wspl, rangers stay top of the table after their 3—1 win over spartans. celtic are just a point behind after a 2—0 win over dundee united. arsenal ended manchester city's unbeaten start to the wsl season, beating them 2—1 with a late winner. steph catley�*s a fullback, but showed all the finishing of a striker as she opened the scoring for arsenal. they had the chance to make it two, but captain kim little saw her penalty saved by city keeper khiara keating. it was level in the second half after chloe kelly pounced to equalise for city. but then a mistake late on from keating in the 87th minute allowed steena blackstenius to score arsenal's winner, sending them up to fifth in the table. we have had maybe an unexpectedly rocky start, and we have got the wins, but onlyjust, and i think you saw our togetherness today, and i think you saw our resilience and how arsenal can fight. in the past, arsenal has been looked at as a ballplaying team, and we can do that, but we can also fight, and i think we took some steps forward today, and it is obviouslyjust the start of the season, but it is not to underestimate how big of a win this was today. elsewhere, liverpool were 2—1 winners over leicester to keep them in the top four. everton rescued a point late on at tottenham, while bristol city got their first win of the season as they beat west ham 3—2. brighton host manchester united in the late kick off. brighton one goal up against the team that won last season. they are in injury time of the first half. emma hayes is close to being confirmed as the new manager of the united states women's national team and is expected to become the world's highest paid female coach. hayes is leaving chelsea at the end of the women's super league season after 11 years in charge, having won 13 major trophies. she previously managed in the united states when she was head coach at chicago red stars. the usa won back—to—back world titles in 2015 and 2019 before a shock early exit in the last 16 of the women's world cup this summer. virat kohli's place amongst the pantheon of great indian cricketers is already secure — you'd imagine. but today, statistically, he joined arguably their finest ever batter by moving level with sachin tendulkar on a record 49 one—day international centuries as india crushed south africa at the cricket world cup. the day was started in emphatic style with captain the day was started in emphatic style with captain rohit sharma taking full advantage of the powerplay, after winning the toss. when he was out, it brought kohli to the crease on his 35th birthday. he celebrated in style, making 101 not out at eden gardens as india posted 326—5 from their 50 overs. both teams are already assured a place in the semi finals but south africa crumbled in reply — bowled all out for 83 — handing india a 215 run victory, maintaining their 100% record in the tournament so far. max verstappen has won a record extending 17th race of the formula one season with victory at a sao paolo grand prix bookended by drama. ferrari's charles leclerc didn't even make the start after a hydraulics issue pitched him into the barriers on the formation lap. when the race eventually got going, alex albon and kevin magnussen tangled at the first corner, bringing out a red flag. throughout all the chaos, three—time world champion verstappen eased to yet another victory ahead of lando norris, whilst behind, team—mate sergio perez was just pipped to the final spot on the podium by fernando alonso by less than a tenth of a second. much to the delight of his aston martin team. the inaugural race in las vegas is up next in a fortnight�*s time. exeter chiefs are top of the gallagher premiership after a narrowly fought 29—20 win over the bristol bears. the visitors started brightly, 13—7 up after 20 minutes, richard lane ultimately scoring a first half—half trick.

djokovic has won a seventh paris masters title, and he still hasn't lost a match since the wimbledon final. the world number one comfortably beat bulgaria's grigor dimitrov 6—4 6—3 in the paris final. it's the 40th masters title in the serbian�*s career, and he's on an i8—match winning streak. the nfl's international series returned to germany — the sport's biggest market in europe. and a sold out frankfurt crowd saw super bowl champions kansas city chiefs beat the miami dolphins. it's the first time a game has been played in the german city and the chiefs responded by taking a big first—half lead, scoring three touchdowns, the third of which came from bryan cook after a miami fumble and a slice of trickery. 59 yards in total, it was, that play. 21—0, it was at half time. but the dolphins came back with scores from cedric wilson and then raheem mostert. it was a game between two teams expected to contend for the lombardi trophy this season. and they could well meet again in the playoffs. but miami couldn't complete the comeback, with a mistake on the final play of the game giving the chiefs a 21—14 win. yesterday, we had a bit of revenge from a world cup final in rugby union, with england's women beating new zealand. well today, the same in rugby league, but to england's cost this time. having dramatically beaten france to win the wheelchair world cup last year, this afternoon, the tables were turned in leeds. adam wild has more. not so long ago, all this might have felt unthinkable — thousands of fans packed into an arena for wheelchair rugby league. but this is a sport that is capturing imaginations. england and france — a rivalry as fierce as any you will find. france were fired up and fuelled by a desire for revenge. last yea r�*s world cup final defeat hurt, now racing towards an i8—point half—time lead. england needed something desperately. they found it through lewis king, who put them within touching distance, but france wouldn't let them get any closer. jeremy bourson�*s hattrick sealing a famous win. france take just a little revenge, and this rivalry continues to grow, as does the sport. on occasions like this, wheelchair rugby league feels as much a winner as anyone. adam wild, bbc news in leeds. now, there is one more premier league match to go, and it's a significant one in particular for mauricio pochettino. the chelsea manager returns to his former club tottenham tomorrow night a long way behind them in the table and with what appears a big job on his hands at stamford bridge. so we're going to spend the rest of sportsday in the company of ben croucher and the football news show team who took a look at what kind of a reception might be in store for pochettino in north london. but from the bbc sports centre

definition of the weekend and your definition of the weekend and your definition of the weekend and your definition of a big game, perhaps the standout fixture of the weekend might actually be taking place after it, because on the monday, this man returns to tottenham hotspur, for years to the month since getting the boot, mauricio pochettino's time at tottenham remembered for the title challenge, the run to the champions league final, and even though he couldn't quite get over the line, many in north and adored him, and now he is a chelsea, is expected not just to challenge but win the trophies. he won half as much is at tottenham, playing attacking football with that young squad, but it is still to click at stamford bridge, five wins and is 12 matches in charge so far. great mac mini in auckland and adored him. let's speak to a man who knows the argentine well. he documented marissa pochettino in his book brave new world back in 2017 and he joins pochettino in his book brave

pochettino. the man hasjust landed but what is happened in the period is that when he was at spurs, let me take you to, i think it was around november of per season, and it was raining and it was cold, and it wasn't working for spurs. mauricio pochettino turned around and said to his coaching staff, prepare your suitcases, because i think we are going home. things weren't working. but he did not know if it would work. he was trying things that work relatively new, the high tempo, a lot of things that he didn't know if there were going to work. eventually, they did. now, he knows there are

but i've asked about 20 people i know and they know people that are not happy with mauricio pochettino because of him choosing chelsea, but you have a little conversation with them, and you say, did you want him not to? to have one club he could not take an take the premier league? and then the reasoning premier league? and then the reasonin '. , premier league? and then the reasonin: , , , .,

espanol fan, and! and you know it is? i am a espanol fan, and i didn't want him to go, so when yourfirst love fan, and i didn't want him to go, so when your first love actually gets away from you when you haven't given permission for that to happen, i think it is a bit like that. spurs were in love with mauricio pochettino and would have liked them to continue, quite clearly couldn't, because he wasn't backed up in the market to start with, and perhaps not even believed in his path, and all in all, he had had to move on and went to psg, so not straight to chelsea, and now, he has been given the opportunity to manage a top club in the premier league. he had to accept it, of course. 50. in the premier league. he had to accept it, of course.— accept it, of course. so, that is the manager. _

chelsea that really, if they just took the chances, would peeling a chelsea that really, if theyjust took the chances, would be much higher in the league. —— the game model. they look at these things and feel them as well, and when you watch chelsea sometimes, you think, they didn't get what they deserved there, but similarly, there is this sort of goal—scoring issue which has been going on for years now and really needs resolving. morrissey put it needs to find a way to do that, and he also needs to, you know, when you don't score goals, you are very vulnerable on the counterattack, when it

again on tuesday. untilthen, goodbye. —— we will be back again. it has been a bit drier today, with a mixture of sunshine and showers. still a number of flood warnings, though, focused more across southern england, from hampshire to here in kent, where we have got floodwaters from the river rotherfrom earlier on. over the week ahead, it is not looking as wet and windy, and for much of the week, it is going to be a mixture again of sunshine and showers. we have got some showers around at the moment, and again they will continue mainly for the western side of the uk, but we could see just for a while some heavier showers creeping into the far south—east of england, coming in from the english channel. some breaks in the cloud, particularly in the north—east of scotland, so we could have a touch of frost here. but with those clearer skies, you may be able to get a view of the northern lights in northern scotland. this was a picture taken by a weather watcher last night in aberdeenshire. should be quite a sunny start for many eastern parts of scotland and eastern england this time, before the cloud builds up a bit. the showers are mainly going to be out to the west once again. a day very similar to what we had today. those showers will get blown further east of england, crossing on to the pennines and the midlands. but again, those temperatures not changing too much at the moment. typically 11 to 13. low pressure close by, this has got the remnants of storm ciaran in it. it is much weaker now, continuing to fade away. still bringing a few showers though as we head through tuesday. moving down from scotland into england and wales, but we should see more sunshine, i think, in the afternoon, as those showers start to fade away. temperatures of 11 or 12, near normal for this time of the year. but it will get pretty chilly as soon as the sun goes down before we see this weather front here coming in from the atlantic. that is going to bring a band of rain, probably our only proper band of rain over the week ahead. it will be accompanied by some strong winds, particularly windy through the irish sea, and the heaviest rain — about an inch or so — will be over the high ground in western scotland and north—west england. it is moving through fairly quickly, that's the good news, and there shouldn't be too much rain in the south—eastt. it will be followed by some sunshine, but some showers coming in over the irish sea and affecting northern ireland, perhaps western parts of scotland, where it will be a little bit chillier. otherwise, temperatures aren't changing too much over the week ahead. we've got that rain on wednesday, but either side of that, sunshine and showers, heavy showers later in the week. live from london. this is bbc news. after meeting palestinian president mahmoud abbas in ramallah, the us secretary of state makes an unannounced visit to iraq. antony blinken says the united states is working to ensure the conflict in gaza does not spread. there's no doubt from my conversations with all of our colleagues who were in oman yesterday that everyone would welcome the humanitarian pause, because, again, it can advance things that we're all trying to accomplish, including getting hostages back, including getting a lot more assistance into gaza, including getting people out of gaza. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has again rejected calls for a ceasefire, until all of the hostages captured by hamas, are returned. israel's military says its forces have "surrounded" gaza city, and vows to intensify its ground operation. they reached the beach at the southern part of the city of gaza and they've encircled gaza and today we have gaza north and gaza south. the israeli bombardment of gaza continues — with internet and phone lines cut, once again. hello, i'm azadeh moshiri. the us secretary of state antony blinken has been in iraq on an unannounced stop.
