You're very welcome along to the programme, wherever you're watching around the world. After one of the most turbulent years in the club's history, there is finally some good news for everton. It was just over 12 months ago that the owner farhad moshiri agreed to sell his 94% stake. But as the first takeover stalled and eventually fell through, two separate points deductions for financial breaches followed, leaving the team facing another potential relegation battle. They avoided that, but two more potential investors came and went over the summer, and the team have now made their worst start to a season since the 1950s. But the club picked up its first point over the weekend, it has now emerged that one of those summer suitors was back and a deal has been agreed, so if it passes the necessary checks, then the friedkin group — fronted by the american billionaire dan friedkin — will become the new owners. They've had talks this weekend with farhad moshiri, come to an agreement, and i am told the deal is done, it has been signed. I'm also told the finances are already in place. Any issues they had over the 777 loans have been resolved as well. So all this now needs is premier league ratification, and i'm told that could happen pretty quickly as well. Well, it has taken 18 months to get to this stage, with three potantial takeovers having previously failed to be completed. So this latest development is being met with cautious optimism. It's a mixed reaction, one of excitement at the potential to move forward but also a little air of i'll believe it when i actually see it finally in place. We've sort of been running like a corner shop. We've not really had that direction, that strategy, that big perspective mentality that has taken everton forward. The us—based group is led by chairman dan friedkin, who has a net worth of $7. 6 billion according to forbes. He bought the italian side roma in 2020 and has invested in the club, but sacked their manager — club legend danielle de rossi — last week, which has caused upset among fans. So are there likely to be parallels in how friedkin might run everton? he'll do it probably the same way as they did with roma — so, with a sort of distance, with a business distance, i would say. What they have demonstrated so far at roma is that they don't really know, let's say, much about football, or at least they didn't quite understand how important the fans, the city and the whole environment, how important that is in rome. Moving on now, and it's being reported that manchester city midfielder rodri may have suffered a potentially season ending injury during sunday's 2—2 draw with arsenal. The spaniard was forced to withdraw midway through the game at the etihad. It's being reported in spain that he's suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament, and it's feared he may not feature again this season. The reigning english champions have not lost in the last 48 premier league matches in which rodri has started. Speaking after the match on sunday — before knowing the severity of the injury — city manager pep guardiola outlined his importance. He's the best holding midfielder in the world, i would say potential ballon d'or winner. I would love it. So he's important. But it happened. It happened in the first minute, and the other one. . . These are the type of games with arsenal. It's like that, so we have to handle it. We had to handle it from many, many aspects. You have to handle it — and we did it. Former manchester united defender gary neville and the greater manchester mayor andy burnham have taken the club's case for a new stadium to the labour party conference in liverpool. Both are involved with the old trafford regeneration task force. It's looking at whether to redevelop the existing ground or build a new 100,000—capacity stadium on adjacent land owned by the club. Supporters have been asked to take part in a survey looking at the options, with final recommendations expected by the end of the year. What i could say to manchester united supporters is that we want to help your club, if they're going for a new build, to do it as close to their spiritual home, if you like, of old trafford. So you can drink in the same pubs, you can go to the same chippy, you can have your same routine. This is still your home. It'sjust, you know, you're rebuilding the house on the side of your home, and that's what one of the options is. So, it's for the club to make that decision. I think they'll make that decision later this year. Myjob is just to give them all of their options so that they can consider everything. I've been pulling my hair out a little bit for the last 10—12 years, thinking about the fact that 20 years ago, manchester united had the greatest football stadium in the world, the greatest training ground in the world and one of the best football teams in the world, and obviously there has been a demise from that. But the new ownership coming in has, ithink, proved to be a catalyst for change, and in five or ten years' time, i know that we're going to be looking at the two things we can control, which is obviously the stadium redevelopment and the training ground redevelopment. What you can never control is the football match. The decision expected by the end of this year. There are going to be some big changes at leeds united's elland road stadium as well. The current capacity will be increased from just under 38,000 to 53,000, making it the seventh largest club stadium in the country. 0wners 49ers enterprises say phased work to the north and west stands will minimize the loss of seating during construction. There were some great games on the opening weekend of the women's super league and also some really good news for the company that now runs the women's game at the top level — that's the women's professional leagues limited. Barclays have doubled their investment, renewing their title sponsorship contract for another three years. It's foundational for our company and for women's football moving forward. No one in question park place commitment to women's football, no one can barclay�*s commitment to women's football, and ultimately this will enable the growth of women's football to put on an interval competition and ultimately to be invested back into the clubs and back into the rest of the pyramid. I think it shows incredible support and belief in women's football going forward. We have an incredible audience and i think are clays issuing their long—term commitment to women's football. One of the things continued to make sure it is men's football and women's football and trading equitable opportunities in terms of the language we are using, to show that it is an incredible, distinct version of football that people love to watch. The biggest sports event in the uk over the weekend was at wembley, 96,000 there to see daniel dubois knocking out anthonyjoshua for the ibf world heavyweight title. The chief sports writer for the telegraph, 0liver brown, wasn't allowed in, though, having his accreditation taken away after he wrote an article criticising saudi arabia's involvement in the sport. I turned up on saturday evening at wembley, as agreed, for fight night. Suddenly, people start massing in the lobby, looking increasingly flustered, saying that i cannot come in. Various phone calls were made by me, by my editor, to the person involved in blocking this on behalf of the saudis. I was told that nothing could be done. Another person and tried to contact did not respond at all. And so about an hour later, there was no option but to leave, and there is a clear line in the sand, i resolved, straightaway that had to be drawn. This is not any kind of navel—gazing on my part. This is a case of a british writer trying to work at a british stadium, at an all—british fight and being denied access based on an opinion about saudi arabia, and thatjust cannot stand. I think there needs to be a strong industry stance, and i have been very heartened by all the encouragement that i have received today from journalists. I think there is a united view that thisjust cannot go on like this. I mean, it's one of the most extraordinary things i've seen at wembley the other night, when the saudi national anthem was played before god save the king. I mean, are we going to surrender sport to that extent on british soil? and so i think various journalists, unions, bodies, need to come to some formal statement that we are not prepared to tolerate this on british soil. There are porbably limitations as to how much we can outline what we want, doing fights in saudi arabia, their country, their rules, etc, but we can certainly make it very clear what should be happening in this country/ well, we did contact queensberry promotions in response to this story, but they haven't responded as of yet. That's it for this edition of sportsday. See you again soon. Bye— bye. Hello. We have seen a lot of extreme rainfall over the last couple of days. Woburn in bedfordshire had 102mm of rain recorded on sunday. But on monday, it was really 0xfordshire's turn to see some absolutely horrendous conditions, widespread flooding and some severe disruption. In south newington in 0xfordshire, we recorded about 98mm through the day — that's about a month and a half's worth of rain. And you can see the rain on the radar picture here. It is gradually easing, and over the next few hours, it will tend to become a lot lighter, a lot patchier, before becoming confined to east anglia and south—east england. So it is an improving — very gradually — kind of weather situation. Bit of rain coming into the far north of scotland. That's a cold front that will be bringing some colder air with it, but these are the kind of temperatures you'll have as you start off your tuesday morning. Tuesday, still some dribs and drabs of rain left over for east anglia and south—east england, but clearing away quite quickly. This area of more substantial rain moves southwards across scotland through the day. That's our cold front. Much colder air spreading to the far north of scotland, where there will be a few afternoon showers. Temperatures just around 10 degrees in aberdeen. 10 as well for stornoway. Further southwards, we're around 1a to 18 celsius. Now, the middle part of the week sees an area of low pressure move in off the atlantic, bringing more heavy rain, particularly targeted on england and wales. 0nce that's cleared through, well, then we start to get some colder air moving right the way across the country. And so for wednesday, it's kind of a day where we will see rain developing from the west, so turning wet across wales, southern and western areas of england through the day. Probably a fair amount of dry weatherfurther northwards with some sunshine, a few showers in the forecast for northern areas of scotland, but it will continue to get colder across those northern areas. And then as we head into wednesday night and thursday, the rain continues to drive its way northwards and eastwards, covering most parts of england and wales with some heavy downpours. The colder air continues to flow in across scotland and northern ireland. So temperatures in belfast, 12. 13 for edinburgh — average at this time of year is 17 degrees, so we're quite a long way below average. And that colder air is going to move its way southwards across all parts of the country before the end of the week. Live from washington. This is bbc news. More than 500 are killed in israeli strikes on hezbollah targets in lebanon — the deadliest day in that cross—border conflict in decades. World leaders gather at the 79th un general assembly, with the conflicts in ukraine and the middle east at the top of the agenda. A new poll shows republican donald trump leading his democratic opponent kamala harris in some key battleground states. Hello, i'm carl nasman. Health officials in lebanon say nearly 500 people have been killed by israeli airstrikes on towns and villages in the country's south and the eastern bekaa valley. More than 1,600 have been injured. It's the deadliest day of conflict across israel's northern border in nearly two decades. The israeli military said it had destroyed 1,300 hezbollah cruise missiles, rockets and drones. A spokesman acknowledged there had been a high number of casualties. But he claimed many of them are hezbollah terrorists. The cross—border strikes have intensified after a series
