south than where we were, and we find often bizarre animals which really sort of defy description. one of my favourites actually makes me think that this golden thing is a sponge. it was exactly like a plastic broken bucket but it's that fact, it's a sponge, so it's a very primitive kind of animal. time for a look at the weather. here's chris fawkes. those guys have been creating some records. the extreme heatwave we had over the last week brought us seven consecutive days over the 30 degrees mark for the first time in september. that has never happened. we do have now a cool down in our weather with cooler air arriving behind this slow—moving front that will trickle south. by the time we get to the middle of the week those temperatures will be quite a bit lower. they will actually be quite close to average for the time of year but certainly a long way away from the heat many of us had last week. today we still have some warm if not hot weather across east

anglia and south—east england with a disposal sunshine, whereas the north—west of the uk has figure clad and outbreaks of rain and it is already starting to turn cooler behind the weather hunt. through the suffering although the rain has been quite patchy so far today i think the rain will tend to consolidate across parts of northern england, wales and the north midlands. turning increasingly wet here. some sunshine for scotland and northern ireland and a few showers for the hebrides in thailand is in the warmest area across south—east england and east anglia stop hazy sunshine on a single day. 0vernight our weather front sunshine on a single day. 0vernight our weatherfront kind of sunshine on a single day. 0vernight our weather front kind of ground to a halt across parts of england wales so for some quite a wet night. and one to the south—east. cooler and fresher air for scotland and northern ireland. more comfortable night here. tomorrow a split between north and south. scotland and northern ireland have had the best weather. england and wales with outbreaks of rain which could be slow to pull away and potentially the rain could be heavy across parts of eastern england and perhaps with

thunder. those temperatures are still coming down a bit. i7 thunder. those temperatures are still coming down a bit. 17 for parts of glasgow and 22 around greater london. wednesday we have an area of high pressure moving in for one day. the afternoon perhaps turning a bit cloudier. possibly with some rain across western scotland and western counties of northern ireland to end the day. the red across the north—west is associated with an area of low pressure moving in from the atlantic. this could bring quite a strong zone of winds to the far north—west of scotland stopped a band of rain pushing in south east during the day clearing with the showers following it to scotland and northern ireland. ahead of that we pull up some southerly winds were east anglia south—east england, supra time temperatures could rise back into the mid 20s. however ultimately the weather will turn cooler and fresher towards friday and a weekend but it looks like quite an unsettled weather picture with rain and showers. thanks, chris. and that's all from me but the news

continues here on bbc one, as now its time to join our colleagues for the news where you are, goodbye.

hello and welcome to sportsday. i'm gavin ramjaun. know that djokovic is hungry for more after achieving a record equalling grand slam winner at the us open. luis rubiales resigned. his daughters told him to focus on his dignity. a must when for wales tonight as they look to a by 2024 qualification hopes. hello there and welcome along to the programme. novak djokovic says there's

more to come from him, after winning his 24th grand slam, equalling margaret court's all—time record. the serb beat daniil medvdev in the final of the us open. it was straight sets, but far from straightforward. the second set took a gruelling one hour and 44 minutes before it was decided on a tie—break. and from there, djokovic, who also returns to world number one today, went on to win a fourth title at flushing meadows. what probably made a difference in the match was the second set, almost two hours. i don't think i have ever played a longer set in my life, particularly on this occasion. he was probably a better player in the second set but he deserved to win the set more than i did. somehow i managed to turn things around in the tie—break. when it mattered, i put one ball in tie—break. when it mattered, i put one ball in the tie—break. when it mattered, i put one ball in the play tie—break. when it mattered, i put one ball in the play more tie—break. when it mattered, i put one ball in the play more than tie—break. when it mattered, i put one ball in the play more than he did and that was enough. i am going to keep going. ifeel good in my own body. i still feel i have the support of my environment, my team, my family. grand slams. i have vocalise but in the last few years. have always been the highest goal and a priority of mine in the whole season. i will definitely sign the paper to say i will when three out of four wimbledon finals. look, at the end of the day, i have so much more to be happy and content with and actually to regret some things. djokovic had lost to medvedev in the final in 2019 and that remains the russian�*s only grand slam title. he felt he had enough chances to repeat his success

of three years ago. regrets, for sure. i should have won it and it should have won it. sometimes tennis is not that easy. we had two choices i chose the wrong one. in general, the second set was the best that i played. if i were to win it may be a different game. when we played them next time it will be a different story. i am not sure there is anything much to analyse. yes, that is how life is and tennis is. i will try to be better next time. ., . f, is. i will try to be better next time. ., ., ~ , ., time. today's new rankings for men and women — time. today's new rankings for men and women both _ time. today's new rankings for men and women both show— time. today's new rankings for men and women both show changes - time. today's new rankings for men and women both show changes at i time. today's new rankings for men i and women both show changes at the top in getting to the second round. they knew that was enough to take djokovic above carlos alcaraz, having not played at the event last year. he picks up the additional 2000 points. coco gauff�*s first

grand slam title takes her up to third. luis rubiales resigned from his role as the president of the spanish football federation — saying he hoped his departure would boost spain's joint bid with morocco and portugal to host the 2030 world cup. it comes after weeks of criticism and possible criminal charges against rubiales following the kiss on world cup winnerjenni hermoso on the lips after her side had won the women's world cup final against england. rubiales said he submitted his resignation to federation acting president pedro rocha. he also resigned from his position as vice—president of uefa's executive committee. it is not the fact he says he thinks he has done something wrong. pressure is huge from the state prosecutor, from the momentjenni hermoso had an unconventional kiss with him. ifeel there has been an abuse of power. fifa has suspended

him as well. the government is trying to find any possible way to get rid of him and the federation was thinking, this is not right. it was thinking, this is not right. it was one possible solution, one possible way out of this, which is resigning really. he says from now on he will start to defend his name and basically convince the world, because we are all against him, that he was in the right and i am not sure he will be able to do that at all. in any case he is out of the public see now. meanwhile, mexican club pachuca paid tribute to hermoso in herfirst game since the world cup final on sunday. she unveiled a mural in the hallways of the 30,000—seat hidalgo stadium. and the spain forward was given a guard of honourfrom her pachuca team—mates and opponents pumas before she received a framed jersey with her number 10 on it. wales are in riga today looking for a win to revive their euro 2024 qualifying campaign. victory against latvia

is all—but essential, if they are to qualify automatically. manager rob page is under pressure. he and his players are facing criticism after winning only one of their past 13 games. we are in an industry where you need to win games of football. what i was at international level as we are in at international level as we are in a transition period well. i cannot influence what the board above, what everybody else does. i will give my best shot. if i did and i can walk away with my head held high, i can do absolutely everything and that is what i will do at the moment. 0ver what i will do at the moment. over the last four, five years, he has shown what he is capable of doing, getting into major tournaments and bringing through a lot of young players, giving them opportunities in the league of nations games and things like that. when you do that as well, maybe some results didn't

come off but the experience and things some of the players got in those games is valuable for us going forward. both england and scotland are flying high in their respective euro qualifier groups — scotland maintaining their 100% winning record with last week's win over cyprus. the sides both meet in a 150th anniversary match, to mark the first meeting between the two sides at hampden park tomorrow night. despite the match being a friendly — scotland boss steve clarke knows it'll be competitive given the rivalry. it will be a competitive friendly, if you can have such a thing. both teams will want to win. the boys from both sides interact with each other at different clubs. both sides will want bragging rights. i do not think it matters how both teams set up, how both camps set up. hibs have a- ointed up, how both camps set up. hibs have appointed nick— up, how both camps set up. hibs have appointed nick montgomery _ up, how both camps set up. hibs have appointed nick montgomery as -

penalties and lost composure and allow fiji, but that he may have an individuals they have, they can hurt you. —— but with the team and individuals they have, they can hurt you. i thought we showed great courage in certain aspects. delighted with the result. highlights from the rugby world cup are on the website. you can also follow cricket's county championship, where durham have been promoted back to divsion one this morning... that's bbc.co.uk/sport. but from me and the rest of the team goodbye for now. you are watching bbc news. covid and flu vaccines
