the park's website warns visitors that encounters with black bears have increased — and it recommends that visitors should "never try to photograph a bear up close". time for a look at the weather. here's helen willetts. and helen, what's the latest on the stormy weather that's expected? already gusting 60—70 mph in southern ireland. this is the very defined storm you can see here on the photo. that storm agnes is hearing down across the uk and bearing down across the uk and ireland. it's going to push its influence further north and east, escalating winds, putting and a speu escalating winds, putting and a spell of very wet weather in particular for northern ireland and scotland. those winds are getting to around 40—50 mph inland, just about anywhere away from the south and east. 70 mph in the exposed coasts.

those winds are enough to bring down the odd branch or tree and the leaves of course blocking up the drains so i did with the rain could cause some local flooding and of course disruptive and hazardous travel conditions. more warnings on the website. this is how it's looking at the moment. it's wet and windy for northern ireland. but actually for the northern isles, staying fine and dry and the day of two seasons in one day. we will escape the worst through the day and feeling quite warm with sunshine coming through. but for most, fairly warm air with this storm system but obviously it will feel cooler with the wind and rain. quite a stormy afternoon and evening rush to come for some. there will be some squally showers moving into southern and eastern areas as well. i do like the wind is away from the north and scotland. in the rain starts to

clear but notably much warmer than last night. these are temperatures you normally see in the daytime. storm agnes will have blown away by the time we get to tomorrow. for most, a blustery day, still more rain coming in from the west, quite a bit of cloud first thing but some holes in the cloud with brightness and sunshine. not at high temperatures in the south and east but feeling pleasant for most. then during tomorrow evening and overnight, as the weather front moves further east we may also see some more rain on this low pressure system moving up. some uncertainty but it should clear away during friday morning. sunny spells and showers towards the north and west, late pressure close by but not a bad end for the working week. into the weekend, more rain is on its way. at the moment, it is all about storm agnes. do stay up—to—date because it's likely to get some hazardous conditions and potential disruption.

thanks, helen. and that's bbc news at one. you can keep up with all the latest developments on the bbc website. the news continues here on bbc one, as now it's time to join our colleagues across the nations and regions for the news where you are. goodbye. the reality is a lot of rules are not in force in this part of iraq, and corruption is a big problem throughout the country. and this is a part of iraq which has suffered so much. it was the biggest christian town in the country before being overrun by the islamic state group nearly a decade ago and a lot of people fled from persecution at that point, but now the people who had stayed have suffered this disaster. ukraine wrapped up all arguments today in its ongoing case against russia...

hello and welcome to sportsday. two days to go before the ryder cup, rory mcilroy fires at shot at the missing liv golfers. it will be the first tournament since the start of the breakaway liv series. brook koepka is the only rebel golfer taking part on the us team, europe made the decision to exclude liv golfers, so no ryder cup legends sergio garcia, lee westwood and ian poulter. earlier today, rory mclroy was asked about their absence. it is certainly a little strange not having them around, but i think this week, of all weeks, it will hit home with them that, you know, they are not here. you know, i think they are going to miss being here more than we are missing them. i'm not saying that... it isjust more... i think, this week is a realisation

that the decision they made has led to them not being part of this week, and that is tough. the landscape in golf is ever changing and more dynamic, and we will see what happens, and whether they will be a part of it in the future. but i always thought leading up to this week, that's when it will hit home that they are not going to be here. both teams have been practicing this morning, ahead of a celebrity all—star match in rome. gareth bale is playing alongside colin montgomerie, who is the captain of his team. novak djokovic is also playing. all to whet the appetite ahead of the opening cermony tomorrow, and then the play gets underway on friday — team usa are looking to break europe's 30 year unbeaten streak when hosting the tournament. i really think our team is strong, and regardless of having the fans against us, i think a lot of us are

going to embrace that. i think a lot of us play other sports, in many different sports, and i think we all it is an away game. quiet the cloud and it will be even more fun and more enjoyable to wind. so i'm hoping this is the year we break the streak and i feel there are nine more efl cup games tonight, the last of the third round ties. the winners willjoin league one exeter city in the next round who shocked luton town last night. eight time winners manchester city travel to newcastle united. city boss pep guardiola has confirmed that england midfielder kalvin phillips will start just his fifth game for the club, since joining from leeds last year, where he caught the eye under the then manager marcelo bielsa. i think marcelo kalvin gave the best of kalvin... his career, would love to have done with kalvin, with what marcelo has done to him... but, yeah, it is where he is,

so we have a specific way to play, sometimes we struggle with a few things, the previous game was perfect. it's his biggest quality, but he's open minded, he always wants to learn, to help, and this is what i try to do. yeah, he decided to stay. the club spoke with him, and for the fact that we have not much minutes, you know, i want to stay, he'll be a father soon, so he wants to stay here, it's ok, it's perfect. he's a lovely person. there's a few more all premier league clashes later in the third round to come too — aston villa host everton, while arsenal travel to brentford. chelsea haven't won a match since the last round of the cup and take on third placed brighton. liverpool welcome championship leaders leicester city to anfield and west ham will look to avoid an upset similar to that of exeter beating luton when they go to league one lincoln. it's the last of the quaterfinals in the scottish league cup, and three all premiership affairs as well including rangers facing livingston at ibrox.

the semi—final draw will follow that match. you can stay across all the football scores later tonight on the bbc sport website. manchester united winger antony has agreed to meet greater manchester police to answer questions about assault allegations made against him by a former girlfriend. it's understood the 23—year—old, who has denied the claims, has flown back to england from brazil and is willing to help the police investigations. he was interviewed by police in brazil injune but has not been charged. antony has been given leave on full pay by united to deal with the allegations. victor 0simhen�*s agent has threatened to take legal action against napoli after the club mocked their striker on social media. napoli shared a video on their tiktok account showing the nigerian missing a penalty in their goaless draw against bologna, with a high—pitched voice dubbed over the top. the post has since been deleted. last season the 24—year—old's goals

helped napoli win their first league title in over 30 years. new zealand's netballers have levelled the three game series with england at 1—1 after a comfortable 57—36 victory. an inexperienced roses team surprised many when they won the first game by a single point. new zealand had criticised the quality of the team sent and called it disrespectful, and they were far too good in the the second mach. england still have a chance to win the series in the decider on saturday in hamilton. australia �*s cricketers are trying to find some form ahead of the cricket world cup that starts next month and are looking to avoid a 3—0 series whitewash in india. they won the toss and chose to bat. a decent target of 353. mitch marsh top scoring with 96. india have just started their reply. they are 23 without loss. 0nly started their reply. they are 23 without loss. only four overs in.

finally to the asian games in china, where it was a record breaking day for nepal's cricketers. they have become the first team to reach 300 in a t20 international match. kushal malla broke the record for fastest century when he reached 100 offjust 3a balls, their feat cam against mongolia, and despite losing both their openers fairly cheaply, the middle order really made hay. clearing the boundary with ease, they got to 314. and they also set the record for the fastest half century, dipendra singh airee brought up his 50 offjust nine balls, it's mathematicaly impossible to do it any quicker, eight sixes in his innings, they then bowled mongolia out for 41, victory by 273 runs another record — spare a thought for those trying to keep up with the score. "inspirational" is a word often over—used but adventure runner nikki love most definitely deserves it. approaching 50, she abandoned her dayjob to run 63 marathons in 63 days.

welcome to the programme. what more can you tell us about storm agnes, for example where it is going to hit a question mark storm agnes has been developing over the last 24—hour is. it is a deep area of low pressure. it is a deep area of low pressure. it is a deep area of low pressure. it is bringing strong winds, damaging winds, gales and outbreaks of rain. currently there is a lot of rain over northern ireland and half of scotland, northern england, as well as wales so a lot of the country saying that wet and windy weather already. the strongest winds will be across irish sea coast this afternoon and we could see gusts up to 70 mph, and that means high waves. at this whole system is moving from northern ireland across to scotland, said the winds will pick up theirfurther, to scotland, said the winds will pick up their further, physically towards the north—east of scotland into evening time. that's why the met office has issued warnings for wind, as well as rain. wind warnings for those gales. 0bviously flying debris and there could be broken

branches and damage to roofs, particularly where you see gusts in excess of 60 mph. not only that, we expect the rain to really bring some impact, certainly across scotland, where there is a rain warning, and northern ireland. surface water issues. the trees are in full leaf at the moment, so blocked drains could be a problem as well. lots of houses out there, but it is yellow warnings so be prepared for some pretty awful weather, and his sweeping from the south—west towards the north—east. sweeping from the south-west towards the north-east— the north-east. these storms are very much — the north-east. these storms are very much a _ the north-east. these storms are very much a seasonal _ the north-east. these storms are| very much a seasonal thing, aren't they? very much a seasonal thing, aren't the ? , , , , they? yes. this is the first seasonal _ they? yes. this is the first seasonal storm. _ they? yes. this is the first seasonal storm. the - they? yes. this is the first | seasonal storm. the season they? yes. this is the first - seasonal storm. the season starts they? yes. this is the first _ seasonal storm. the season starts on the 1st of september, and as you said this is the first named storm. interestingly for september what we tend to find, because we are at the peak of the hurricane season across the other side of the atlantic, sometimes these x hurricanes get picked up by ourjet stream, and obviously modified because of the cooler waters of the north atlantic and they can influence the depressions which then tracked

across the uk, bringing
