there was no other way. elsewhere, old rivalries will be renewed on tuesday, as scotland welcome england to hampden park for the latest chapter of the world's oldest international fixture. 150 years on from their first encounter, the two sides meet again in a friendly, with both sides on course to qualify for next year's euros. england manager gareth southgate says that tuesday's match will be a good test against an improving scotland side. this is a very good scotland team, there is no question about that. i think steve has done a brilliant job. i really like steve, he's a very understated guy. but here's a real competitor and he is an excellent coach, so he has done a brilliantjob excellent coach, so he has done a brilliant job with the excellent coach, so he has done a brilliantjob with the team, they have some very good players and they run a really good run, so full of confidence. i have lived in england more than half my— i have lived in england more than half my life, i have got english children. — half my life, i have got english children, english grandchildren. i am comfortable down there. i tend not to— am comfortable down there. i tend not to read — am comfortable down there. i tend not to read any sort of nonsense about _ not to read any sort of nonsense about comparing the two levels of

owner farhad moshiri. everton have picked upjust one point in their opening three games. in the nfl, new yorkjets quarterback aaron rodgers' season may be over after suffering a potential achilles injury on his debut. rodgers, whojoined from the green bay packers in the off—season, was injured in the first quarter of thejets' overtime win over the buffalo bills on monday. he is set to undergo a scan later on tuesday, but their head coach is not optimistic about his condition. concerned with his achilles. the mri is properly going to confirm what we think, it is already going to happen, so press tonight, but it is not good. personally i don't hurt for me are a team, i heard for aaron rodgers and how much he has invested in all this. so you know, i am still going to say a prayer and hold a hope, but my heart is with aaron rodgers right now and nowhere else. three—time grand slam champion andy murray believes that novak djokovic's domination of men's

tennis will continue. after the serbs us open win on sunday djokovic equalled margaret court's all—time record of 2a grand slams with victory in new york, also moving back to the top of the world rankings as a result. ahead of the start of the davis cup group stages on tuesday, murray says that the next generation of players is still well below djokovic's levels. it is up to young guys to be pushing him, too, you know, to be looking to overtake him. you know, but it doesn't look like that is close to happening. i said that after wimbledon, everyone was sorta saying this is a changing of the card. it wasn't. for me, it was quite clear novak djokovic has had at one to a the three grand slams and was very close in the final of wimbledon. he proved he is the best player in the world again. at the rugby world cup, england's tom curry will attend

a disciplinary hearing later on tuesday, following his red card against argentina. curry was sent off for head contact in the third minute of england's opening game of the tournament. an initial yellow card was upgraded to red by the new bunker review system. he is likely to face a two game ban if he completes world rugby�*s coaching programme on tackling. and finally in cricket, india are taking on sri lanka in the asia cup in colombo. india won the toss and chose to bat, they're currently 94—3 after 16 overs. a win for india, who are back in actionjust 12 hours after beating pakistan in the same ground, would send them through to the final on sunday. and you can follow that match on the bbc sport website and app, but from me and the rest of the team, we will see you again soon, goodbye. some breaking news. a judge has ruled that the five

children found with the grandfather of sara sharif yesterday will now be sent to a government childcare facility temporarily. the children had travelled to pakistan from the uk with the father of sara sharif, who was found dead at a house in the uk last month. police are still looking for sara's father. that news came in the last half an hour, that the five children that were found with their grandfather in pakistan are now being taken into a childcare facility, a government run childcare facility, a government run childcare facility, a government run childcare facility in pakistan. the regulators of england's water companies are being investigated for failing to enforce the law over sewage discharges. the office for environmental protection says that ofwat, the environment agency and the government may have misinterpreted the law, allowing sewage releases to take place too frequently.

joining me to discuss further is environmentjournalist and co—founder of watershed investigations, rachel salvidge. can you expect us how this came about in the first place? because it is quite a complicated issue, if you haven't really heard of this and don't understand the timeline. yes. don't understand the timeline. yes, ou're don't understand the timeline. yes, you're right. — don't understand the timeline. yes, you're right. it— don't understand the timeline. yes, you're right, it has— don't understand the timeline. yes, you're right, it has been _ don't understand the timeline. ye: you're right, it has been a really long running saga. if and campaigners have been alleging for a long time that discharges for untreated sewage pollution were taking place unlawfully. water companies take over sewage, treat it and it goes out into their rivers and it goes out into their rivers and seas treated, but in certain circumstances raw untreated sewage goes out into rivers and seas and this is obviously a big pollution problem, there is bacteria into fair and nasty chemicals in all sorts. so theissue, and nasty chemicals in all sorts. so the issue, the scale of it is quite remarkable. i think in 2022, they released raw sewage into rivers and

coasts, about 300,000 times for a total of 1.7 million hours, so you can see it is a really big problem, but the water companies are allowed to discharge raw sewage under certain circumstances, if there has been heavy rainfall and they are already treating a specific amount of sewage that is specified in their permits, benches or legal, but what a lot of people have been saying is this has been happening outside those permit conditions and that the environment agency, defra and 0fwat, date hasn't been applying the law properly in a glow to the water companies, so that is the background to it. ~ . companies, so that is the background toit.~ ., ,., companies, so that is the background toit. ., ,., ., companies, so that is the background toit. ., ,., . .,, to it. what happens now? what is the u-shot to it. what happens now? what is the u shot to to it. what happens now? what is the upshot to all — to it. what happens now? what is the upshot to all this? _ to it. what happens now? what is the upshot to all this? the _ to it. what happens now? what is the upshot to all this? the oh _ to it. what happens now? what is the upshot to all this? the oh ep, - to it. what happens now? what is the upshot to all this? the oh ep, the - upshot to all this? the oh ep, the office for environmental _ upshot to all this? the oh ep, the | office for environmental protection has said that the ngo wild fish, but in a complaint to them last year, they have said, the 0tp, have said they have said, the 0tp, have said they agree with these three bodies that they would companies are not complying with the law. so the

environment agency say does not comply with the urban waste water directions because of the way it has set permit guidance and they weight is enforcing breaches of permit conditions, they say they are not complying with that law properly. 0fwat said is potentially not complying, this is potentially not complying, this is potentially not complying with the water industry act. that law says that water companies and sewage companies must effectively deal with sewage. it doesn't look like that is the case, and so, 0fwat says it is not doing itsjob. and for and so, 0fwat says it is not doing its job. and for defra, and so, 0fwat says it is not doing itsjob. and for defra, which oversees both of these bodies, the allegation is making is a combination of combination of both of those and it wants to do a better job, it wants them to put on measures to stop this sewage happening and those three bodies have got a couple of months to get back to the 0tp to say how they are going to improve things. so back to the 0tp to say how they are going to improve things. 50 it going to improve things. so it sounds like _ going to improve things. so it sounds like there _ going to improve things. so it sounds like there might - going to improve things. so it sounds like there might be some big changes on its way and that will affect ordinary people in ordinary households?— affect ordinary people in ordinary households? , ., ., ., ,

as 2 degrees this morning in braemar, whereas you stayed in the high teens across some southern parts of england and wales. the dividing line between those two has been the outbreaks of rain. we've seen northern england, the midlands, in particular, saw some heavy rain this afternoon across parts of yorkshire, lincolnshire towards the wash and we could see a few heavy and thundery showers spark up across parts of east anglia in the southeast where the more humid conditions continue. in the south—east where the more humid conditions continue. a few more sunny spells across the south, brightening up to the west of england and wales, scotland, northern ireland, the best of the day's sunshine. sunny spells here, isolated showers, temperatures close to where they should be for the time of year. temperatures still 23 or 2a in the south—east corner. now, tonight, outbreaks of rain continue through some coastal areas of south—east england, east anglia and lincolnshire, eventually becoming confined towards the far south—east, where again it will be another reasonably warm and muggy night. but the vast majority of the country, a fresh start to tomorrow morning, could even be a touch of frost through some sheltered scottish glens. and that's because of a brief ridge of high pressure, which means wednesday, the quietest day of the week, a lot of dry and reasonably sunny weather for many. east anglia, the south—east,

you'll see lots of cloud to begin with, but that should break up through the day. western scotland, northern ireland enjoy the morning sunshine, the afternoon cloud will start to increase and we could see some outbreaks of rain and strengthening winds push in before the day is out. temperatures here, then, limited between 1a and 16, where we should be for this stage in september for england and wales, for all, but pleasant with the sunshine overhead. overnight rain, then, through into thursday, scotland, northern ireland spreads into northern england, the midlands and wales, where it grinds to a halt. real autumn feel in the north—west of scotland with frequent showers and strong to gale force winds. could just see some of that humid air creep back into east anglia and the south—east later in the day with some sunny spells around, but varying amounts of cloud. now, that humid air willjust nudge a little bit further northwards as we go back into the end of the week and weekend. not to the levels, though, of last week. it'll be pushing northwards behind this weather front, which will stick around for a time across northern england, the midlands and wales, producing some of the wettest conditions. but this weekend we'll see some outbreaks of at times heavy and thundery rain break out more widely, but temperatures

still high teens and low 20s. take care!
