from the sport following breaches of the tennis anti—doping programme. the former wimbledon and french open winner says she intends to appeal against the decision at the court of arbitration for sport. she tested positive for the use of roxadustat at last year's us open and an independent tribunal also found her guilty of using an unspecified prohibited substance or method in 2022 after irregularities were found in her biological passport. translation: i'm shocked. it is a great injustice, what's happening. i have never doped. my blood tests were negative and there were no banned substances found. only a tiny amount of roxadustat came out in the urine test and that was it. now i have to go to the court of arbitration and i will appeal this decision, which makes no sense in my view. i hope the truth will come out

let's talk now about what is happening in libya. more than 5,000 people are confirmed dead in eastern libya's destructive floods. many thousands more are injured or missing. derna, a city of more than 90,000 people, is bisected by the wadi derna, a seasonal river that flows from the highlands to the south, and is normally protected from flooding by a series of dams. two dams collapsed on sunday night, unleashing raging waters that swept away residential neighbourhoods on both banks of the river. the second of those dams sits before the coastal roads and the mediterranean sea live now to ahmed bayram from the norwegian refugee committee. what are you hearing from the east of libya and what is needed most right now? it of libya and what is needed most riaht now? , ., , ., of libya and what is needed most riaht now? , . , ., ., right now? it is a state of confusion, _ right now? it is a state of confusion, devastation i right now? it is a state of. confusion, devastation and right now? it is a state of -

have established that the three adults who were living in the house with sara sharif at the time she died, urfan sharif, herfather, beinash batool, her stepmother and faisal malik, herfather�*s brother, uncle, they are currently on a flight to the uk. we know they boarded a flight in seattle —— in pakistan this morning. it is believed they have boarded a flight in dubai. but that has not been confirmed. it is believed they are on a flight to london gatwick which is due to land tonight. they are travelling partly under their own steam as far as we can establish, but we know surrey police are aware that they are on that flight. surrey police have said they want to question those three adults in connection with sara's death. sara was found dead in the early hours of

thursday morning the 10th of august. but on the tuesday evening, flights had been booked for her entire family, excluding her, to pakistan on wednesday the ninth. her body was found the next morning. that is where the police have wanted to speak to the three adults in that family, to understand what happened. we can expect that when those three adults land, they will be arrested and questioned by surrey police in connection with her death. daniel, thank ou connection with her death. daniel, thank you for— connection with her death. daniel, thank you for that _ connection with her death. daniel, thank you for that update. - connection with her death. daniel, thank you for that update. daniell thank you for that update. daniel sandford will be across developments for us on bbc news. to remind you that three adults who are living with sara sharif in woking before she died are returning to the uk from pakistan. more on that story coming up. i suppose a reversal of fortunes, weather—wise. yesterday scotland and northern ireland had the best of the

weather, but today it is england and wales enjoying the best of the dry weather with some sunshine coming through like here in staffordshire. across the north—west of the uk, low pressure is lurking in the atlantic and that is pushing thickening towards northern ireland and scotland, with rain already starting to push its way in. the rain will turn progressively steadier and heavier for northern ireland turn progressively steadier and heavierfor northern ireland in western scotland through the afternoon. east scotland clouding over, but probably still bright and dry for most of the afternoon. for england and wales, sunny spells, so not feeling too bad. overnight tonight as the band of rain sinks southwards from scotland and northern ireland overnight tonight nd and northern ireland into england and wales, it will start to weaken. the rain won't be that intense as it pushes into north wales

and northern areas of england. here is that weather front, continuing itsjourney southwards into thursday, bumping into this area of high pressure. that is why the front is not particularly active, the high pressure tending to squish it. thursday, band of rain across parts of wales, the midlands, lincolnshire. not really moving very far through the day. the rain is probably quite light and patchy. to the north—west, you might see a few showers. it will stay windy for northern areas of scotland all day. there will be spells of sunshine. the south—east could become quite warm and humid again. temperatures 23 or 2a degrees in warmest spots. from thursday into friday, the weather front changes its mind and starts pushing back northwards, taking some heavier rain across wales, the midlands, into northern england and through friday that rain will start to make inroads across northern ireland and scotland, whereas further south england and wales, sunny spells, maybe an odd isolated shower. starting to feel a bit warmer, perhaps a bit more humid with temperatures back into the mid 20s. with cloud and rain in the north, it will not be a particularly warm here. into the weekend, a bit of a battle zone. low pressure in the south throwing weather fronts northwards. we might see higher pressure in the north,

but there is still a bit of doubt about that. what i would say, is across southern areas, you are more likely to see outbreaks of rain, but it could reach right the way across northern scotland as well.
