restrictions in place. last year, no russian belarusian players allowed. they look to the right of me, i can see one of those russian players back the championships. we also have under a replay of an action. in terms of those championships, and the atmosphere and mood here, we are expecting novak took to be the big story yet again, but we know he will not be playing nick kyrgios. they are on the same side of the draw, but nick kyrgios had to withdraw last night with the wrist problem. you had an injury ridden year. had to pull out of the australian open. it has mainly been a knee. he took to instagram saying it was really sad. he had a scan that came back showing a torn ligament, so he is one of the big names out of this championship. he was due to play on court one today, but there is still a lot to look forward to, and i mentioned novak djokovic is the overwhelming favourite. he is trying to win a roger federer— equalling

men's title. it would be a 24th grand slam title for him if he can get it done. he should have no problems today against argentina's pedro catching. he has only played one match in his professional career, so novak djokovic should be feeling pretty upbeat about his chances. the popcorn natural people is the second one on centre court. it is venus williams, a five—time champion here. seven time grand slam champion. 44 years old, and still going strong. she will be playing elina svitolina, the ukrainian play who has done a lot to raise money for her homeland. ukrainian plays being supported by the all england club. at their core accommodation paid for them. back, club. at their core accommodation paid forthem. back, having had her daughter at the quarterfinal. we have iga swiatek, was you figure it out on good grass finally? you will be playing china'sjun lynn, just some of the highlights on a very busy opening day here. we will keep ourfingers busy opening day here. we will keep our fingers crossed that this rain stays away. they are under way on

thinking play was dead. australia called a review — out was the decision but the debate continues over whether it was the right call. when a player is leaving their crease or leaving their ground at certain periods of time, you take that opportunity, to relay that in the after match that there was some conversation around johnny leaving the crease, and alex kerry took that opportunity. the ball was still alive in our minds. it got sent upstairs, and ultimately, the officiating umpire decided it was out. it is all in the rules of the game, so i don't see too many issues with it, to be perfectly honest. jonny was in his crease and came out of his_ jonny was in his crease and came out of his crease — jonny was in his crease and came out of his crease to come up that chat between — of his crease to come up that chat between the ovals. —— between the overs _ between the ovals. —— between the overs i_ between the ovals. —— between the overs i think— between the ovals. —— between the overs. i think of the shoe was on the 0ther— overs. i think of the shoe was on the other foot, i would ask the umpires, — the other foot, i would ask the umpires, put them under a the other foot, i would ask the umpires, put them undera bit the other foot, i would ask the umpires, put them under a bit of pressure — umpires, put them under a bit of pressure. they would have to come to a decision, _ pressure. they would have to come to a decision, i_ pressure. they would have to come to a decision, i would have to think about_ a decision, i would have to think about the — a decision, i would have to think about the whole spirit of the game, and if_ about the whole spirit of the game, and if i _ about the whole spirit of the game, and if i would likely want to win a test game — and if i would likely want to win a test game match like that. i think the answer— test game match like that. i think the answer would actually be no. the netherlands are looking

to keep their hopes of qualifying for the men's cricket world cup alive as they take on oman. oman won the toss and elected to bowl. vikram singh made 110 before falling to mohammad nadeem. in football, tottenham have reached a verbal agreement to sign manor solomon, who was on loan at fulham last season. the 23—year—old is set to undergo a medical this week before signing his contract with spurs. hejoined fulham on loan from shakhtar donetsk, afterexercising a rule allowing ukraine—based players to suspend their contracts following russia's invasion of the country last year. the israeli international will become tottenham's fourth signing of the summer. shane van gisbergen has won the nascar chicago street race on his cup series debut — becoming the first driver to do so in 60 years. the 34—year—old chased down justin haley and chase elliott in a memorable finish to take the chequered flag — matching the feet last achieved byjohnny rutherford in the second qualifying race at daytona in 1963.

russia, she became a war crimes reporter. she travelled across the country documenting war crimes committed by russia. in this tweet, pinned to her profile, she says it is me in this picture. i am a ukrainian writer. i have portraits of great ukrainian poets on my back. i look like i should be taking pictures of books, art and my little son, but instead, i am documenting russian war crime. she went to kherson, and check this picture of flowers. you compared the resilience of these flowers to the resilience of these flowers to the resilience of people of kherson. who have lived in these kind of conditions. tributes have been pouring in on social media for victoria amalina since the news of her death was shared. this one from olga mo tesco, who has met victoria amalina before, and she talks about high kind victoria was when they met, and how devastated she is hearing the news of her death. —— has talked about

influencing our weather over the next few days. and with that, it's going to be quite a breezy start to the week. we're looking at some rain around as well, some showery conditions. but there's a trend for the weather to become a little bit warmer towards the end of the week as we start to drag up some southerly winds and warmer air southerly winds and warmer air coming up from france. coming up from france. before we get there, though, this is today's pressure chart. got a couple of fronts set to move across the uk, bringing some zones of rain. we've seen some rain already across wales turning wet across northern england, the midlands. so we get a few showers trailing back from that zone of rain across east anglia in the southeast, northern scotland sees rain for much of the day. a slow moving weather front here and along with the winds, it's going to make it feel rather on the cool side. temperatures struggling across northernmost areas of scotland, where we're looking at highs at best of around 13 or ia degrees celsius. further southwards and eastwards, temperatures into the high teens. where we do see some sunny spells, it shouldn't feel too bad, but i'd say there is a risk of seeing a passing shower at wimbledon as we go through the afternoon. i don't think it will last too long. then the sunshine

will come back out. now during this evening and overnight, we'll have clear skies for a time across england and wales, but potentially some more rain working into wales, south west england, the south west midlands towards the end of the night. and we've still got a zone of rain slowly moving its way southwards in scotland as well. tuesday's weather charts. we've got a band of rain moving across the midlands, east anglia, south east england. still some damp weather in scotland, a few showers for northern ireland, probably something a bit drier for a time in wales, in the midlands before we start to see showers build into the afternoon. temperatures still a little bit below par for the time of year. highs between around 17 and 19 degrees, for most. it might be an odd 20 or 21 in the very warmest areas. heading into the middle part of the week, the low pressure is still there, but it's weakening. and so i think we'll tend to see the weather become a little bit more showery in nature. so the showers mainly affecting northern ireland, scotland,

parts of north west england, north west wales, probably drier to the midlands and southern england. but even here, there could be one or two showers building through the day. temperatures coming up an odd degree or two. 21 degrees the high in london, about 17 in glasgow. but then it starts to get warmer later in the week. we can see highs hit 27 in london this weekend.
